Disney Buys Fox: 8 Epic Storylines The MCU Can Now Adapt

6. Triumph And Torment

On the surface, it's easy to see why someone would be confused by a Doctor Doom/Doctor Strange team-up comic. Apart from the fact they're both doctors, it wouldn't appear as though they have much in common.

That's where Triumph and Torment comes in.

With pencils provided by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Triumph and Torment is one of the most compelling Doctor Strange tales going. It's also a book where Victor von Doom really comes into his own, having recruited the Sorcerer Supreme in an effort to end a decades-long feud in Hell.

To disclose more would be to ruin the story's mystery, but with the book being a relatively obscure one, one would hope Marvel Studios are ready to consult it - however unlikely a team-up it may seem. Maybe Noah Hawley could get the chance to finish his Doom movie this way?
