I think the page image is Not An Example; the trope concerns characters who bring misfortune onto others, while the page image shows someone bringing misfortune onto himself.

I believe a Doom Magnet can do both, bringing misfortune on himself and on others.
If it ends up being confirmed somehow that this character doesn't attract doom, but that impending doom instead attracts him, what would he count as? Inverted Trope?
("Isn't this guy a magnet for trouble?" "Yes, but here is the thing: magnets attract each other, and the most easily moved magnet ends up being the one heading for the other. A single person like him is more easily moved towards catastrophes than the catastrophes he attracts would be moved towards him.")
