10 Steps To Perfectly Bring Dr. Doom To The MCU

One of Victor Von Doom's defining facts in the comics is that he also leads his own country. After switching Latveria with Sokovia, this would be an excellent launching point into his rise through politics.

With Sokovia now torn apart following the events of Age of Ultron and Civil War, the entire country is now ripe for an aggressive campaign of fear-mongering. Doom uses his intellect and manipulation to leverage his position as a defense contractor to increasingly more prominent government positions. If this seems unlikely, Vladimir Putin used a somewhat similar method in a somewhat similar context (Russia's economic crisis as opposed to Sokovia's fear of superheroes) to rise through the ranks in a very small amount of time.

In a span of just two years, Victor Von Doom is now within the leader's inner circle. While the Sokovian government style is not specified, a position such as "Minister of Defense" would be appropriate here. Doom quickly becomes popular with the Sokovian citizens as well, promising to protect them from any threats (like a rogue group of superheroes lead by Captain America), no matter how powerful.

Doom is now not only poised to seize power, but now has a small nation of loyal supporters at his back, convinced that he is able to protect them, and with good reason. Both of these factor into defining Doom's character as a beloved, and ruthless, ruler.
