However, he did not use his ruling powers to oppress and allowed the aliens in his country to live in peace and harmony, protecting them from the other villains. He even kidnapped Thing only to cure him of his deformity, turning him back to Ben Grimm, and then restored his own scarred face as an afterthought. With Ben's cooperation, he learns of the purpose they were brought to the alien planet, and manages to acquire the powers of the Beyonder by absorbing him with a weapon he created. With this newfound power, Doom sends the other villains back to Earth and attempts to kill the other superheroes by throwing a mountain at them when they decide to oppose him. However, he proves unable to control the power fully, his nightmares and subconscious fears spawning monsters that constantly attack New Latveria. The Thing turns Doctor Doom's weapon on him, and the Beyonder's powers are returned to the mystic figure himself.

2010s

• Doctor Doom appears in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, voiced by Christopher Britton.^[3] This version is a member of the royal family of Latveria, and the accident that scarred him also killed his family. In the episode "The Might of Doom", Doctor Doom travels to New York to meet with Obadiah Stane to obtain Iron Man's armor specifications from stolen files, and in return improve Stane's "Monger Core" generator. After the retrieval of the specs occurred, Doom fought Iron Man and put him into a three-hour deep sleep using a magical attack, also beating War Machine. After the core was modified, Doom betrays Stane and activates a timer that will first have the core generator absorb all the energy in New York then expel it in one enormous blast. Iron Man, however, is able to contain the blast, angering Doom. War Machine intercepts Doom's plane to which he responds by nearly defeating the two armored heroes in a two-on-one battle. As Doom states he was prepared to invoke Dormammu's magic to defeat Iron Man, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive, end the fight, and escort Doom back to Latveria as he vows to fight Iron Man again. As Doctor Doom returns to Latveria, Fury states to Iron Man that they had been keeping an eye on Doom even though he has diplomatic immunity and then states they'll be there when he missteps. At the end of the episode Tony and Pepper Potts learn that Doom's armor was based on Makluan technology. In the episode "Doomsday", Doctor Doom uses one of the Makluan Rings to summon the demon Yogthul and give him "three pure souls" (Iron Man, Mandarin and Howard Stark) in exchange for being reunited with his deceased family. Yogthul, however, declares that Mandarin is not a pure soul and ends up rescinding his deal with Doom. Ultimately, Doom is defeated and trapped in Yogthul's dimension.
• Doctor Doom appears in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, voiced by Lex Lang.^[1] He first appears in the second-season premiere "The Private War of Doctor Doom", where he sends Lucia von Bardas and an army of Doombots to attack the Avengers Mansion and Baxter Building, which ended with the capture of Invisible Woman and Wasp. Doom has both heroines placed in a scanner and analyzed as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four make their way towards Latveria. Doctor Doom effortlessly defeats both the Avengers and the three remaining Fantastic Four members when they attempt a rescue. Invisible Woman and Wasp are freed only by Doctor Doom's mercy and as the heroes retreat, Iron Man destroys Doom's scanner. In the final scene, Doctor Doom analyses the data received from the scanner and discovers that "Invisible Woman" was actually a Skrull imposter the whole time.^[4] In the episode "Infiltration", Doctor Doom returns, and after a brief confrontation at Stark's mansion, hands him a chip with the ability to scan human beings to see if they are Skrulls or not. Stark asks him if he will help him in the coming fight, but Doom states "that would be beneath" him and leaves. Doctor Doom has a small non-speaking cameo appearance on the episode "Emperor Stark", where he is seen in his throne room being attacked by Iron Man's drones and Thor, who are under the Purple Man's control.
• Doctor Doom appears in Ultimate Spider-Man, voiced by Maurice LaMarche.^[1] This version is at the top of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most wanted list, and his armor is nuclear-powered, reinforced with Vibranium, and contains several concealed weapons.
• Doctor Doom appears in Avengers Assemble, voiced again by Maurice LaMarche.^[5] Doom first makes two non-speaking cameo appearances, first in the episode "The Avengers Protocol", briefly seen receiving a holographic message from Red Skull to join his Cabal, and then in the episode "Ghost of a Chance", where he is seen battling the Hulk in a recording. Doctor Doom makes his first full appearance in the episode "The Serpent of Doom", where he obtains Ulik's weapon Codgel (following Ulik's fight against Thor) after intercepting it from some HYDRA agents. Red Skull is not pleased with Doom obtaining the Codgel and contacts him, but Doom states that he is the only one capable of handling the Codgel and does not want to take up Red Skull's offer to join the Cabal. The Avengers track the Codgel's energy signature to the Latverian Embassy to retrieve it. At first they battle his Doombots, but Doctor Doom soon enters the fight and stands toe to toe against Thor. Doom uses the modified Codgel to fulfill the supposed legendary release the Midgard Serpent, with hopes of enslaving it to conquer the globe. After a battle, he and the Midgard Serpent are banished to the Realm Below by the Avengers, using Ulik's extra-dimensional portal. In the episode "The Doomstroyer", Doctor Doom takes control of the Destroyer, which he initially uses to attack the HYDRA and A.I.M. Agents that are in Latveria looking for his weapons cache, and then the Avengers after they confront him. During the fight, Doom mentions how he has seen all of the Asgardian worlds and was able to gain control of the Destroyer, but the effects of controlling the Destroyer start to affect his judgement and causes him to attack his own people and damage Latveria. With help from Loki, Thor, Captain America and Falcon are able to trace Doom to Helheim, where he is using the Helhorn to control the Destroyer and is being guarded by the Midgard Serpent, who he has managed to tame using a special crown. Iron Man is able to get through to Doctor Doom, and as he comes to his senses, his connection to the Destroyer is broken. Captain America then separates Doom from the Helhorn, and he is evacuated from Helheim and returned to Latveria. Doctor Doom then turns down Iron Man's charity offer to help with the relief in Latveria and orders the Avengers to leave, as they have no authority to detain him. In the episode "Planet Doom", Doctor Doom uses his Time Platform to go back in time and prevent the Avengers from forming by altering key events in history, before taking over the world, eliminating all diseases, hunger and conflict. In this new reality, he is served by Black Bride (this reality's version of Black Widow), Bruce Banner, and Tony Stark. When Thor returns to Earth, he learns of what happened when he meets the Defenders. After the group is captured, Doctor Doom tries to get Thor to divulge the secrets of Mjolnir. When Thor doesn't cooperate, Doom arranges for their public termination. Before the termination can commence, however, Black Bride takes the opportunity to turn on Doctor Doom as Punisher (who was disguised as an executioner) destroys the Doombots that held the Defenders. In the ensuing battle Doctor Doom apparently kills Thor, but as he tries to lift Mjolnir and fails to do so, Black Bride resuscitates Thor by restarting his heart. The battle frees Captain America from ice, and he helps Banner and Thor to defeat Doom. Thor then uses the Time Platform to go back in time to the moment when Doctor Doom was about to use it for the first time, and secretly destroys it with lightning, making the explosion seem like a project failure. When a Doombot asks if they should recommence with the project, a frustrated Doctor Doom blasts it stating that it was useless, undoing his changes to history. In the episode "The Ambassador", Nick Fury is ordered by his superiors to have S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers protect Doctor Doom while he is speaking at the United Nations, due to the Cabal wanting to kill him after he refused to join them. As Captain America acts as his bodyguard (as he cannot carry any weapons into the UN), Doom is apparently injured as he is attacked by Hyperion, MODOK, Dracula, Attuma and the Red Skull, but it was actually a ploy to get him to Avengers Tower so he could steal their databases and improve his technology using the Avengers'. After making it back to Latveria, he discovers that the information he downloaded was a Trojan Horse program that sent him a transmission from the Avengers, stating that they knew Doctor Doom would try something like this. Iron Man then states to Doom that if he ever leaves Latveria again he will be arrested, as he lost his diplomatic immunity when he attempted to steal his database. The Trojan Horse program then shuts down Doctor Doom's power grid for weeks.
• Doctor Doom appears in the Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. episode "Red Rover",^[6] voiced again by Maurice LaMarche.^[1] Doctor Doom ends up capturing Red Hulk when he unknowingly ends up in Latveria as part of his plan to relocate Devil Dinosaur. Using a larger battlesuit, Doom attempts to absorb Red Hulk's gamma energy, but Devil Dinosaur interferes and frees Red Hulk. They escape from Latveria and arrive back in Vista Verde, but Doctor Doom catches up to them and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. arrive to join the battle. During the fight, Doom ends up within the Gamma Base and encounters Leader, who offers to team up with him in exchange for freeing him, but Doctor Doom turns down Leader stating that he only teams up with villains on the epic level. With help from Devil Dinosaur, the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. disable Doom's battlesuit and Hulk throws Doctor Doom into the atmosphere. Doctor Doom has a small cameo appearance in the episode "Banner Day", when Betty Ross mentions she used information gathered by top scientists like Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Leader and Doom to develop a serum to revert Hulk back into Bruce Banner, which ends up succeeding.

Film

Live action

• Doctor Doom appears in The Fantastic Four, portrayed by Joseph Culp. This version was a college classmate of Reed Richards who was nearly killed in an accident when both tried to capture the power of a comet called "the Colossus", but was taken back to Latvaria for "treatment". A decade later the now reborn Doctor Doom kidnapped Alicia Masters and threatened to both kill her and destroy New York as well leading the Fantastic Four traveling to Latvaria to face him. Inside Castle Von Doom, Reed and the others were easily captured by one of Doom's machines, but Richards used his elastic powers to elude the force field which held them captive and used the laser meant to steal their powers against the restraining device. In a battle between old friends, Reed defeats Doom, resulting in Doom falling to his death from Castle Doom despite Reed's attempt to save him.
• Doctor Doom appears in Fantastic Four (2005), portrayed by Julian McMahon. This version is a billionaire entrepreneur and head of Von Doom Industries who has been rivals with Reed Richards since they were science colleagues in high school. As adults, they are rivals for Susan Storm's affections. At the beginning of the film, Reed and Ben Grimm approach Victor and ask him to fund a space mission to study a cosmic storm. Seeing the potential benefits of the project, Victor agreed and reintroduced them to Susan, who was now working as Von Doom's head of genetic research. The four then traveled into space, along with Susan's brother Johnny Storm, on Victor's funded ship which was designed to protect them from the cosmic energy given off by the storm. When the storm entered orbit earlier than expected, Reed, Susan and Johnny attempted to help Ben Grimm, who was exploring outside the ship, while Victor closed the shields to protect himself from the shower of cosmic rays. Upon their return to earth, Reed, Ben, Susan and Johnny all exhibited superhuman powers as a result of the storm. It was eventually revealed that even Victor was exposed to the cosmic dust cloud; he exhibited superhuman strength, electrical and magnetic manipulation, and energy absorption, while his skin was transformed into an organic metal. Seeing the "Fantastic Four" as the only obstacle in his quest for godhood, Victor reverts Ben to his human form, captures Reed, and subdues Johnny. After donning a Latverian metal mask and a green-hooded coat, Victor dubs himself "Doom" and attempts to kill Johnny but fails. Susan tries to reason with Doom but he explained that he came to accept his power and thought himself a kind of god. At first, Victor didn't want to fight but since Susan attacked first, he was fully prepared to kill her, only for Ben to distract him. The Fantastic Four then combine their efforts to defeat Doom ending with Johnny burning him with supernova temperature (contained by Susan with a force field) and frozen in place by thermal shock when Ben sprayed him with water. His frozen body is later seen in a container on a cargo ship being transported to Latveria. As he's shipped off, the crew's electronic devices begins to function erratically indicating that Doom has survived.
• Doctor Doom returns in the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, with Julian McMahon reprising the role. At the beginning of the film, a being known as the Silver Surfer enters Earth's atmosphere and soars over Victor Von Doom's castle in Hassenstadt, Latveria, 'awakening' Doom with the residual cosmic energy given off by his board. After Doom monitors the mysterious entity's movements, he tracks the Surfer down in Greenland and attempts to form an alliance with him. Outraged by the Cosmic Herald's refusal, Doom electrocutes him, causing the Surfer to attack but inadvertently heal Doom's scars and skin damage, though he retained his electrical powers. Deceiving both the Fantastic Four and the military, Doom aids them in capturing the Surfer by using a tachyon pulse to separate him from his board. During his time working with the Four, Doom secretly builds a gauntlet that will link him with the Surfer's board. After the Surfer and the Four are contained in a Siberian military base, Doom dons a suit of carved armor, a green cloak and a new mask before using the gauntlet to take control of the Surfer's board. Doom then uses his new powers to kill most of the soldiers in the base. After battling the Four and the Surfer, they end up in Shanghai, where he impales Susan with a cosmic spear. After her brief death, Johnny Storm (who was also affected by the Surfer's cosmic energy) absorbs the powers of his teammates and confronts Doom, separating him from the board. Ben Grimm then uses a crane from a nearby construction site to hit and send Doom flying into a nearby harbor.

  

• Victor Von Doom, referred to simply as "Doom", appears in Fantastic Four (2015), portrayed by Toby Kebbell. It was initially reported that the film's version of the character would be called Victor Domashev, but the character was not named so in the film.^[7][8] This version is an anti-social computer programmer who works for the Baxter Foundation and is mentored by Dr. Franklin Storm. He additionally possesses an unrequited love for Susan Storm, which motivates him to participate in an unsanctioned voyage to a dimension called Planet Zero alongside her and her friends. During their trip, Victor is mutated by and seemingly killed in an explosion of a green liquid substance. He survives, but is fused to his spacesuit and gains telekinetic powers and force field projection, along with the ability to control Planet Zero's elements. One year later, Doom is retrieved by a second Planet Zero expedition team and attempts to destroy Earth, as he believes that it is keeping him alive and wants to prevent human interference.

Literature

Doctor Doom serves as the initial villain in the Chaos Engine trilogy, which opens with the revelation that Doom has rewritten history so that he is now the ruler of the world, having defeated other villains such as the Mandarin, married to Storm and hunting Magneto as his arch-enemy. Fortunately, a group of X-Men were outside reality when this rewrite occurred and are dispatched to investigate, which leads to them and the "local" Betsy Braddock (her memories restored by Jean Grey) learning that Doom created this reality through a Cosmic Cube. However, this cube turns out to be flawed in two ways; not only does use of it to maintain this new world drain the user's life-force so that Doom now appears to be in his eighties or older, but he didn't actually change the history of his world but just "superimposed" another Earth's history onto it. After Psylocke takes him out of reality after Magneto acquires the Cube, Doom is restored to his rightful age and attempts to stage a coup in the Starlight Citadel, only to be opposed by the X-Men and Magneto. He is ultimately returned to Earth with his knowledge of how to access the Citadel or create a new Cube removed so that he cannot attempt such a scheme again.^[14]
