* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's largely referred by his first name Victor, and rarely as "Doom".
* CurbStompBattle: Is at the hand of ''two'' of these the second movie. First when he tries to fight the Silver Surfer alone and is defeated in a single blast, and later during the final battle when fighting Johnny with AllYourPowersCombined easily beats Doom, who never even gets a single shot off.
