9 Worst Things Doctor Doom Has Done

2. He Invaded Wakanda

Though the ficticious country of Latveria was commonly seen to have adopted an isolationist foreign policy (barring the export of Doom's own terror), things took a turn for the worse when Doom invaded Wakanda.

Taking place in 2010's Doomwar storyline, wherein the Wakandan government had been overthrown by a hostile force, it emerged that Doctor Doom was determined to take advantage of vibranium, the world's rarest resource that Wakanda just so happens to possess in abundance. T'Challa has to enlist the help of the X-Men to break the coup, but it still comes at a cost. Both T'Challa and Shuri end up fighting Wakanda's citizens to reclaim the throne from the Doom-orchestrated coup.

Doomwar - much like Mark Waid's Fantastic Four books - divulges more of Doom's motivations. His attempts to conquer the world are spurred on by his knowledge of the many apocalyptic futures waiting in the Marvel Universe's wings, and while that's no excuse for his invasion of Wakanda, it's all that Doom needs to pass Bast's test and receive the vibranium locked away in Wakanda's vaults.

T'Challa is then forced to deprive Wakanda's vibranium supply of its natural qualities in order to stop Doom's armour, and while the nation would eventually recover, Doom's imperialistic attempts to destabilise T'Challa's home rank among his gravest offences.
