History SelfDemonstrating / DoctorDoom

* {{Roma}}: Doom is of the Roma people. Persecution of Doom's kinsmen was one of the key forces in shaping Doom's destiny.

* AGodAmI: Doom consequently seeks out greater beings of power and usurps their power. Though these victories are usually short lived. Amongst those Doom conquered were; The SilverSurfer, Galactus, a rogue Watcher, a Cosmic Cube, the Beyonder, [[TheMightyThor Odin]], [[XMen the lifestream]] of the powers the [[TheAvengers Scarlet Witch had obtained]] and [[BlackPanther the magical essence of all the Vibranium of Wakanda]].

** UltimateMarvel's Doctor Doom is an aristocrat named Victor Van Damme, whose meddlings with the teleportation experiment being performed by Reed Richards. This created the UltimateFantasticFour, and also transformed him into [[BodyHorror a demonic-looking being of living metal]] who is NighInvulnerable, can throw razor-sharp spines from his body and has a BreathWeapon of toxic fumes (which is supposedly based upon the fact his now-useless organs are ''rotting into liquid inside his body''). He ultimately perishes in a crossover with the MarbleZombies universe. [[spoiler: The UltimateMarvel Reed Richards has apparently taken Van Damme's place as the "Ultimate Doctor Doom".]]

** In the "Doomwar" miniseries, Doom builds a larger, mystically-enhanced suit of armor out of [[Unobtanium Vibranium]].

** In "Avengers: The Children's Crusade", Doom stole the [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Scarlet Witch's chaos powers]], repairing Doom's face and gaining a [[LightIsNotGood white cloak]].

[[NotQuiteDead Huh?]] What happened just now? I blacked out and now... Oh, nevermind. As I was saying...

* VillainProtagonist: Occasionally, Doom has been thrust into such a role, most notably dealing with that repellent Johann Schmidt aka The RedSkull, such as his unfortunately short-lived feature in what you would call a Comicbook, which in this case, bore the name of Astonishing Tales, and his grand exploits -- which sadly, in all likelihood, few people have ever actually read -- were published in the early [[TheSeventies 1970s]]. Perhaps Doom could have taken on such a prominent role more often, if weren't for that blasted... Reed Richards... '''''[[SayMyName RRRRRRICHAAAAARRRRRDDDSS!!!]]'''''

Doom should not be confused with [[http://www.wright.edu/~tdoom/ the being known as Dr. Travis Doom]].

* DemonicPosession: Not quite, but close. When Doom was dead, recently, ([[IGotBetter Doom got better]]), he managed to use his ovoid mind trick (See down for FreakyFridayFlip) and take over the bodies of the FantasticFour, forcing Reed Richards to kill his best friend! Poetic.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: You have your pathetic system of morality, and Doom has his. Doom will react to things against his own, well-informed and perfect system of justice and right like any other would, were they as wise as Doom. The one thing I share with lower beings such as that [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker psychotic clown]] and [[{{Magneto}} the magnet man]] is Our refusal to have any association with that [[RedSkull despicable bald monster]].

** Recently, in Doomwar, the [[BlackPanther PANTHER GOD]] recognizes that Doom's cause in this is just. [[SmugSuper Was there ever any doubt?]]

I have been portrayed in cinema by [[Film/TheFantasticFour Robert Culp]] and [[Film/FantasticFour Julian [=McMahon=]]].

* ActuallyADoombot: Whenever a puny mortal thinks they have bested the mighty Doom, they will eventually discover it was simply one of my Doombots distracting them from what Doom was really doing.[[hottip:*:[[SquirrelGirl Except for... that woman...*shudder*]]
