    Doctor Doom and Magneto are the most popular villains in Marvel Comics, IMO. 
     
    A lot of people like Doctor Doom. A Lot of people also like Magneto.  
     
    So who do you like more?

    Doom was George Lucas's inspiration for Darth Vader.

    @ComicMan24: 
    Lucas was a long time Marvel comics fan. hence why when his films were first translated to comics, they were Marvel,
    and Howard The Duck of course. there where obvious other influences in the design, namely samurai, but the attitude
    was Doom.

    hmmm.. don't know.. but Doom seems to be more evil.. Magneto at least has been somewhat good lately.. 
     
    plus, they'd be relatives sooner or later anyways.. but i don't think Doom would stoop down his father-in-law that easily.. lol

    I like Magneto more. He's got a cooler outfit and he just stands out more than Doctor Doom, for me.

    Magneto is **** now, thanks again, Marvel, but in the good ol' days of his genocidal campaign; he was awesome. 
     
    However, Doom, a megalomaniacal, manipulative, dictatorial, sociopath is the definition of badass.

    I love Doctor Doom, don't get me wrong, but I prefer Magneto. He has such a rich backstory. That, and I can relate to his reasoning behind wanting to put the human race in check for all of the horrible things we have done to one another. If I had his abilities, and their was a large anti-mutant consensus in the world, it would be difficult for me not to WANT to attack the human race. Doom, on the other hand, introduced me to Promethium. For that little tidbit of wisdom, I am thankful to the old Doc.

    2 of my favorite Marvel characters, and arguably the 2 best villains of Marvel. I don't know just yet, but I'm leaning towards Magneto.

    I wanna lean towards Magneto, but the way Waid wrote the character in the Unthinkable F4 story arc was incredible.

    I think Doom is the archetype supervillain, though I would lean towards Magneto being the cooler one, but not by much.

    I'm going with Magneto.  Magneto reminds me of someone who wants to fit in, but never could b/c society casted him out, so what better way than to say 'f*ck you' to the human race with his superiority complex. I couldn't really get into Doom's story, never really sunk in with me.

    i like magneto due 2 his mentality of why he do what he do. Dr. Doom 2 me just act that way just so he can walk around saying he's the smartest and he wants to rule everyone. While magneto is doing it more for an entire race rather than just himself.

    I like Magneto, but the fact that he's mostly only an X-Men villain (or was) hurts him. I prefer Dr. Doom by far.

    Doctor Doom is way cooler and far more ruthless. No "I'm a good guy today" BS.  
     
    Also, Howard the Duck movie rules as well.

    Both are to me, the epitome of brilliant villains. They both have such a rich, and encompassing history, that it allows you to truly understand their motivations, and what makes them tick. I grew up with the X-Men, so, Magneto will always have a place in my heart, but, I have a great love for the pair of them .
