Pablo Raimondi, Mark Farmer, and Brian Reber capture the character in a splash where his visage dominates the perspective. During the course of the story, Zorba killed the mother of a boy named Kristoff, who Doom later adopted and who would one day house the consciousness of Doctor Doom himself after Doom is believed killed.

Stephen Strange was America’s greatest surgeon, a vain and arrogant man who cared nothing for the sick, except as a means to wealth and glory. Marvel's sheer frequency of events during the '10s ended up hijacking some of their ongoing series' narratives, though Al Ewing has proven to have a knack for keeping the momentum going and making the most important points relevant to the story he was already telling. These stories, featuring the work off some of the Silver Age’s most important creators, fleshed out the back-story of Doom while spotlighting the armored depot as a protagonist.Masterpiece is about a young girl who discovers that she is the daughter of the world’s greatest thieves. Or, leave a comment on the blog here, I'm always looking for new awesome people in the comic book community. She had been a sorceress, and now burned in the inferno for the unholy powers she used in life, powers which her son also possesses. Not only did this establish Doom as one of the world’s greatest sorcerers but it showed a nobility and a familial loyalty in a man who, on the surface, seemed primarily ego driven.

proving Doom was not the only master of mechanoids as Rudolfo and the enigmatic Faceless One used the lost Doomsman to wreak havoc throughout Latveria, before the final assault in ‘Doom Must Die! He even showed the Surfer an image of far off space which is kind of like showing a Boston terrier a lamb chop. The basic need of a child wanting to have a mother and be comforted by them drives him to learn more and struggle every year to save her. From the black steppes of Eastern Europe, to the college campuses of New York City, and finally to the throne of Latveria — this is the life of Von Doom!

Sadly, in the interim Doom triumphs over the invaders to his castle, but his act of entrapping claustrophobe Ororo backfires, triggering a ‘Rogue Storm! Doom is primarily the arch-enemy of Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four, but he came to fight many Marvel superheroes with time, including Thor, Spider-Man, The Avengers, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Iron Man. The plot itself is delightfully sly and simple: for once eschewing rash attacks against assembled superheroes, deadly dictator Doom has devised a scheme to dominate humanity through subtler means.

Powered by his progenitors’ rage, Onslaught laid siege to humanity — touching off a cataclysmic conflict destined to deprive a world of its most revered icons!

As an ending to Doom’s greatest hits, it’s appropriate enough, but it’s also a bit too self-serious and gritty for me to recommend over other stories that could’ve been included, such as some of Jonathan Hickman’s definitive work on the character from his Fantastic Four and New Avengers runs, and in 2015’s Secret Wars. Doom’s earliest appearances might seem ‘clunky’ to modern audiences, but the seeds of greatness are indeed sown. For characters like Loki and Doom, who have rarely had their own title, let alone an ongoing one, collecting their stories is complicated further, not just because they appear in scattered issues of the same title ( Thor for Loki; Fantastic Four for Doom), but also because the Marvel universe allows them to move to other titles. After all, we all know he likes to hear his own name, so having it twice in the title must please him. Marvel had the good idea to celebrate the character with an omnibus collecting the most important story of the past six decades!
