Old habits die hard, and when it comes to Dr. Victor Von Doom there is no habit as old as world domination. Hatching one of his most ingenious plans yet, Dr. Doom infects various Wakandans with nanites that will allow his to spy on everything and everyone in Wakanda.

Using this knowledge, Dr. Doom - along with the help of some rebels - manages to dethrone the Black Panther and breaks into the vibranium armory in hopes of amassing a ton of indestructible weapons and armor. With all the vibranium kept behind a series of locks and enchantments, Doom manages to appease the panther god, and retrieve copious amounts of the valuable metal.

Doom uses the vibranium to build a army of impenetrable Doombots. He also built himself new armor, and with it he's able to connect to all the vibranium of the world. T'Challa tries absolutely everything he can to stop the dictator, including calling in Deadpool for backup, but all his plans prove fruitless.

In a last ditch effort to save his people T'Challa uses Doom's armor to rob all the vibranium of its special properties, rendering it useless. While some view this act as political suicide, this move ends the war, and ultimately saves Wakanda.
