Doctor Doom’s Full Power: Doom Vol 2 Conclusion (Comics Explained)

We are back with the conclusion to 2019's epic Doctor Doom series by Christopher Cantwell. Following a painful self-inflicted disaster on the Moon, Doctor Doom suddenly finds himself back on Earth…but an Earth he recognizes only from dreams and visions, where a very different Victor Von Doom is the benevolent savior and leader of humanity. As our embittered and embattled Doom finally comes face to face with his peaceful alter ego, he'll be forced to decide: Should he take the lessons of this better world in order to save his own?
▸ Doctor Victor Von Doom is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Fantastic Four #5 (July 1962). The monarch of the fictional nation of Latveria, Doom primarily serves as the archenemy of Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four. He has also come into conflict with other superheroes in the Marvel Universe, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, the X-Men, and the Avengers. He has also been portrayed as an antihero at times, working with the heroes if their goals align and only if it benefits him.

How is it that dr doom continues to have the best development despite being one of the hardest to write and they nailed it every time. That’s quite an accomplishment.

[@beatooze8025]

All that is without *adding more power to his character. We assume technological superiority is just a Tuesday to Doom so any device he makes, well that's just Doom being Doom. Having the Ultimate nullifier, while a power gain, is not a permanent character upgrade. Has he had the stones, sure, does he have them always, no. Cosmic Cube, power cosmic, darkhold... Power source after power source yet they have all passed by and yet, Doom is still Doom. If they ever give him the X gene I think he would flex with it for a second then leave it behind. Dooms motto; See what it can do, then do better. MCU!!! DISNEY!!! DON'T MESS THIS UP! I am too old to find a new Lord and Savior.

[@thefallencog]

@@beatooze8025 Doom in more recent runs has been more willing to hold onto magical augmentations, but if its something like the stones, or the darkhold, or even the power cosmic. Doom sees those things more as a crutch then an augmentation to his own power and that is why he throws those away. With technology its a study then throw away kind of thing, because doom will always attempt, or outright improve on it. But if its an actual augmentation to his own power, instead of seen as a "Crutch" doom will often go to lengths to try and hold onto it. But if its ripped from him, he will never go back to try and reclaim it. As to him the power is "inferior" if he manages to lose it somehow. Doom is more of an egomaniac in more current runs, but its used to curb his power, because Doom very easily gets his hands on some of the most powerful artifacts in marvel. And he just doesn't do a whole lot with them because he seems them as making him weak.

[@scotchbarrel4429]

Except the part where he uses the term "coup d'etat", obviously he can't alienate his right wing cult audience, he should've said "tourist visit" 🤦😂 *Note: Sarcasm above in case ya missed it.

I like how Doctor Doom shows other villains that they're NOT that guy. The cost of ultimate power carries a heavy toll .

[@gamemaster123561]

I had a feeling leading up to Rob saying it that Dr. Doom was going to kill Victor. Victor just kept pushing it and you've got to know when talking to someone like Dr. Doom, if you do anything... YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WATCH YOUR TONE.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Doom's greatest power is his sheer force of will. The guy can't stop, won't stop. If he wasn't such a villain he'd make a great green lantern, because he has willpower in spades.

[@Fledermausmann]

Gotta say that Good Victor had me going for a second there, I thought that Dr Doom might have some introspection and improvement, but yeah, dude pushed it too far. All he needed to do was ease off for a bit, maybe share some ideas or whatnot but nope. Good Victor made it personal. (Which, understandably, it was.) Honestly, stories like this are why I love Dr Doom. He's such a complex and interesting character and honestly, he's right. He is, in many many ways, always the smartest person in the room and if he really wanted to, he could pretty much save humanity. He has, in fact, in the Emperor Doom storyline where he created, I think, it was Battleworld etc. However, Doom's greatest strength and his most glaring weakness is his pride. Well that and his nagging insecurities regarding Reed Richards and his absolute hate for him. At the end of the day though, the real reason Doom doesn't stay good is that it just isn't too interesting. Doom needs to be amoral yet honourable, misanthropic yet strangely obsessed with bettering humanity. The reason Doom does something is simple. It's because he can. And he's better than you. I like how, though, that deep, deep down inside, past everything. He just wants a family, to be respected. You know, very human things. Really good stuff by Cantwell, I'm going to look out for more stories from him.

[@kingn8]

I read this story last year, and it is one of the best Doctor Doom stories I've ever read. I hope Cantwell writes another Doom story.

[@Lj-md9ng]

They need to write a good magneto series that shows him as a beast! He’s always dying being a mutant with that much power and used to be arguably the most powerful mutant in the 90’s

That panel that shows Doom's face completely in shadow looking at his gauntlet, you can see the eyes of a man who has been crossed and who is going to kill. Beautiful. Doom endures. At this point can we just call Doom what he is? A Byronic Hero. He is up there with my boy Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights and Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera. He will die and he will be lonely and miserable but he will have lived his life the way he wanted dark, corrupt but willing to help.

Doom is the ultimate threat.

[@r3turnfyre426]

This was awesome

[@primecoconut4204]

tbh, I really like Doom's philosophy despite him being an egomaniac. Here's the thing, in every aspect no matter tangible or not, balance must exist: order and chaos, good and evil. A coin always has its sides. Ofc, everyone wants to be on the good side. Doom knows his role, he has to be evil for the sake of others to progress or be better. He is basically the wake up call, and the bitter truth that no one wants to hear. If everything is perfect, then there will be no progress at all and nothing but stagnation and monotony.

[@consciousmindgame5047]

But that still doesn't justify evil and gratuitous suffering, some people would argue that they'd rather be in a perfect world than a one with the likes of doom, because if sentient biengs try to eradicate doom, but doom always exists anyway no matter what, then it's completely pointless and futile to even try. The reason sentient creatures try to eradicate "doom" is because they think that it's gratuitous and have hope's that that it will be eradicated. Yes balance DOSE exist, but so do other aspects of existence which are considered negative. Just because balance dose exist, that doesn't mean it MUST exist Saying that it must is a flawed assumption without any solid evidence that if it didn't things would be worse. So no.

[@thebookofronism.723]

I believe that the reason why Fantastic 4 movies don't do well is because they make DOOM an afterthought. DOOM is such a deep character that I think his story should be a biopic (Rated R) of course and the Fantastic 4 should be ushered in trying to cope with this force of nature. I knew DOOM was going to kill Viktor but destroy the whole universe and not blink? WOW! this was incredible. DOOMS story is too rich to just be a character.

[@justinmcdonald2072]

They get the persona of Doom correct, what the movies fail to do is inspire depth in the narrative it's all superficial. When watching it's easy to see they could have done a lot more. In the second movie they took too much time on the FF switching powers after coming in contact with the Silver Surfer's board. by the time Vitor comes into play its rather easy and unexplored how he takes down the Surfer and the limited use of the board he uses it for, just to revert back the to the FF to fight a threatening cloud they could not form into a vision of the humanoid Galactus.
