Create the backstory to the character that would be more badass than Dr. Doom.
We all know that Dr. Doom thinks very highly of himself. He feels everyone is beneath him. No one can match his intellect. He doesn't fear anything. Yet, we've recently learned that even Dr. Doom has someone he calls his master. In Fantastic Four #563, he informs Reed that his master "taught [him] everything [he] knows, the first super-villain." He also says that his master has "plans for humankind, an appetite that chills [Doom's] black heart." Because Mark Millar is writing FF, there have been talk that this will be tied together with Marvel 1985 and Old Man Logan.
So the contest is this, Who Is Dr. Doom's Master? Come up with the back story of who could be more badass than Doom to get him to take orders from him. 2 - 3 paragraphs detailing his origin, powers, meeting with Doom, etc. The contest will end at midnight PT on Sunday January 25. Winners will be chosen based on originality, thoughtfulness, and coolness (of the character, not the user).
The Loot will be a stack of comics from my personal collection. Some new and some old. We'll see if I can find anything else cool to include. Sometimes when the entries are so good, I feel obliged to increase the booty.
