    Doctor Doom

    Character » Doctor Doom appears in 3789 issues.

    The very mention of his name makes lesser men tremble! The brilliant scientist whose iron mask conceals his scarred (but once handsome) face! Master of science and sorcery, Victor Von Doom is the monarch of Latveria, attempting the betterment of humanity through world conquest! Unequaled and unrivaled in every manner, Doctor Doom has had many conflicts with both earthly and cosmic super-beings, but he will always be known as the eternal nemesis of Reed Richards and his accursed Fantastic Four!

    Doctor Doom the most pitied character in all of comics?

    I don't know about you but I seriously can't think of a single time anyone has any kind of inner monologue about Doom that didn't bring up his many flaws that he can't himself acknowledge.

    I mean the guy thinks he's the best thing ever, but NO ONE else things so. Everyone just kind of humors him and plays along in his delusion because he's easier to deal with that way.

    It's actually really sad when you think about it.

    Being scared of someone because they're dangerous and having pity for someone are two very separated feelings. :V

    Yeah he's somewhat of a tragic character, but because of his origin, not because no one takes him seriously. I would say most heroes and villians view Doom as someone not to be trifled with.

    At the end of New Avengers #5 they end up having to go to Latveria. That book consists of Namor, Black Panther, Dr Strange, Reed Richards, Iron Man, Beast, and Black Bolt. Each one of them upon realizing they have to go to Latveria have this "oh $h!t" look on their face.

    Um...no. Doom is considered one of the most dangerous supervillains by the superhero community. And he's had the feats to back up his talk. Developing a device to steal the Power Cosmic, stealing the Beyonder's powers, creating Cube time-traveling technology, and developing a platform to pull Cap back from the timestream. He is one of the smartest and most resourceful villains - and that does back up his ego.

    Also, @rikr2 come and defend your favorite character, man!

    the hundreds of thousands of people of Latveria are all automatically more pitiable than Doom.
