10 Best Superhero Friendships You Never Knew Existed
2. Victor Mancha And Doombot
On the whole, Doctor Doom isn't exactly the sort of dude who forms healthy friendships. Obsessive fixations where he steals your wife and children? Sure. A casual invite out for coffee? No way.
This isn't why it's so surprising when one of Victor Von Doom's many Doombots forms finds a pal in the form of Victor Mancha, a prominent member of the Runaways. As Mancha is also an artificial creation - born when Ultron created a cyborg human to thank a woman who had rescued him after a defeat - the pair were able to understand each other as much as a hyperactive cyborg boy and his reformed robot pal possibly can.
Though they'd grow close during their time in the Avengers A.I series, they'd keep this bizarre bond after the team was disbanded, as Mancha's happy nature seemed to have a positive effect on Doombot.
When a character who is supposed to be a replica of one of the most cold and hardcore villains in all of Marvel considers you his best bud, you know you've done something right in your life - or very, very wrong, depending on the context.
