10 Villains Doctor Doom Utterly Destroyed
What do Thanos, the devil and KISS have in common? Doctor Doom can kick all their asses.
Doctor Doom. Victor Von Doom. The big Green and Grey guy himself.
Since his inception in the pages of 1962's The Fantastic Four #5, the metal monarch has cemented himself as one of the deadliest threats in the Marvel Universe, which, may I remind you, contains actual gods, physical embodiments of life and death and angry Russian ghost scientists with shapeshifting trained apes.
With both the technological know-how of Tony Stark and the magical prowess of Doctor Strange, Big Vic can give both the Awesome Facial Hair Bros a run for their money, without even having facial hair! Probably. (It’s hard to tell with the mask.)
Over the years, Doom has become so prevalent in the Marvel Universe that it can be seen as a rite of passage for a new super to tangle with the titanium tyrant. However, with all these challengers, Doom is no pushover. He’ll take on anyone - heroes, villains, glam metal bands - and come out on top.
However, he seems to have a special kind of glee when it comes to defeating other villains. Doom doesn’t just defeat his rivals, he humiliates, breaks their spirit and then annihilates them. Before long, they all kneel before Doom...
10. Stabbed Kang In The Neck - Doctor Doom #6
Sure, a time travelling psychopath with a gun that saps the very will of its victims seems like a threat, but have you met Doom?
Kang plays a role in the current Doctor Doom run, being chronologically tangled with the Good/Bad Doctor. Although he had been showing up in short bursts to ruin Doom's day, eventually Kang seemed to be stuck with him, embarking on one of the most surreal road trips of all time, traversing giant graveyards, trains, hillbillies and, of course, a relaxing boat trip.
Soon enough, the terrible two reach their goal, an arms deal for the Ultimate Nullifer, hands down the most powerful single weapon in the Marvel Universe. Of course, as soon as Doom has his hands on the weapon, Kang turns on Doom, surprising no one. Kang uses a weapon he calls the Ultra-Diode to sap Doom's will to live.
While most people would get in the foetal position and have a little cry, Doom is not most people. Doom responds to this act of insolence by calming stabbing Kang in the neck, and riding off into the desert on horseback.
Say what you like about Doom, the man knows how to make a dramatic exit.
