Doctor Doom is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Since his debut in The Fantastic Four #5 (July 1962), the character has become the archenemy of the Fantastic Four, and has been included in almost every media adaptation of the Fantastic Four franchise, including film, television, and computer and video games. Usually depicted as the Monarch of the fictional nation Latveria, Doctor Doom has often been featured as an antagonist of other superheroes as well, including Black Panther, Doctor Strange, the X-Men and the Avengers.

In the present, Doom fights the Fantastic Four before being killed after falling from Castle Doom.
  • Doctor Doom appears in Fantastic Four (2005), portrayed by Julian McMahon. This version is a billionaire entrepreneur and head of Von Doom Industries who accompanied Reed and his friends on an outer space expedition, during which he is exposed to cosmic rays and gains metallic skin and electrokinesis.

  • Victor Von Doom, referred to simply as "Doom", appears in Fantastic Four (2015), portrayed by Toby Kebbell.[7][8] This version is an anti-social computer programmer who works for the Baxter Foundation and is mentored by Franklin Storm. He accompanies the Fantastic Four on an unsanctioned voyage to the dimension Planet Zero, during which he is mutated by exposure to a green liquid substance and gains telekinesis and force field projection. One year later, he escapes Planet Zero and attempts to destroy the Earth before being defeated by the Fantastic Four and killed after being launched into his own portal.
  • A Doctor Doom origin film was in development, with Noah Hawley attached to direct.[9] In an interview with ScreenGeek, Mads Mikkelsen expressed interest in playing the character, having previously auditioned for the 2015 film.[10] In August 2019, Hawley told Deadline that the film is "done".[11] In October 2019, following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, Hawley revealed the film is "in limbo" due to Kevin Feige's plans to incorporate the character, alongside the Fantastic Four, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[12]

Literature

[edit]

Doctor Doom serves as the initial villain in the Chaos Engine trilogy, which opens with the revelation that Doom has rewritten history so that he is now the ruler of the world, having defeated other villains such as the Mandarin, married to Storm and hunting Magneto as his arch-enemy. Fortunately, a group of X-Men were outside reality when this rewrite occurred and are dispatched to investigate, which leads to them and the "local" Betsy Braddock (her memories restored by Jean Grey) learning that Doom created this reality through a Cosmic Cube. However, this cube turns out to be flawed in two ways; not only does use of it to maintain this new world drain the user's life-force so that Doom now appears to be in his eighties or older, but he didn't actually change the history of his world but just "superimposed" another Earth's history onto it. After Psylocke takes him out of reality after Magneto acquires the Cube, Doom is restored to his rightful age and attempts to stage a coup in the Starlight Citadel, only to be opposed by the X-Men and Magneto. He is ultimately returned to Earth with his knowledge of how to access the Citadel or create a new Cube removed so that he cannot attempt such a scheme again.[15]

Podcast

[edit]
  • The Marvel's Wastelanders podcast series features a version of the Old Man Logan Dr. Doom and his Doombots, both voiced by Dylan Baker.[16] Doom is first mentioned in the 2021 Marvel's Wasterlanders: Star-Lord series, which takes place in Doomwood, a section of the American West under the control of Dr. Doom and heavily policed by Doombots. Doom himself makes an appearance in the series' final episode.[17] In September 2022, the 10-episode series Marvel's Wastelanders: Doom began, with Baker returning to voice Doom.[18] The series picks up where Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord ended and follows Doom as he teams up with Valeria Richards to seek revenge on those who betrayed him on V-Day.[19]
