9 Worst Things Doctor Doom Has Done

4. He Took Over The Monastery That Rescued Him

Doom has been on quite the journey in his life, but one of his meaner feats came during his early stages of supervillainy.

Despondent and left to travel the world after falling out of university, Victor encounters an ancient group of Tibetan monks. Weak and on the verge of death, the monks bring Doom back from the brink and nurse him to good health. Doom, having learnt all he can from the mystical group, then forces them to fashion him a mask made of iron, setting himself on a path to become Marvel's most feared villain and the one with the fiercest aesthetic.

It's the quintessential Doom moment. And while he's undoubtedly done worse in his career, this moment from Lee and Kirby's early Fantastic Four comics encapsulates what makes the character so enjoyable in the first place.
