10 Steps To Perfectly Bring Dr. Doom To The MCU

5. Death Of Sokovian Diplomat

While Victor is busy completing his weapons, Sokovia is in the midst of passing the Sokovia Accords, as a result of the devastation wrought by the Avengers and Ultron upon its country a year prior. This of course would lead to yet another incident that would deeply affect Sokovian politics.

During the U.N. meeting, a bomb planted by Helmut Zemo detonates, killing 12, including T'Chaka, then king of Wakanda. Notably, the identities of the other 11 victims are not stated. This would be a perfect opportunity to insert Sokovia back in the picture. As the lead sponsor of the Accords, they would of course have at least one diplomat attending the meeting, and most likely in the front row. It's not hard to imagine that the country lost yet another notable citizen.

This incident is important not only because of the realism, but also because it would serve to galvanize the country to develop its own line of defense against any threat more quickly. So, when one of their own citizens becomes a powerhouse in the weapons manufacturing sector, Sokovia would be quick to overlook not only Von Doom's age (likely around 22-23 in 2016), but also his heavy scarring and psychological issues as well.

Suddenly, Victor Von Doom has a foot in the door in his country's government.
