Doctor Doom
Updated: 12/10/2025, 5:52:59 PM Wikipedia source
Doctor Doom is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Fantastic Four #5 (1962), and has since endured as the archenemy of the superhero team the Fantastic Four. Victor Werner von Doom is the monarch of the fictional European country of Latveria who uses his mastery of both science and sorcery in pursuit of his goals to bring order to humanity through world domination, and prove his intellectual superiority over Mister Fantastic—his old college rival and the leader of the Fantastic Four. Doom blames Mister Fantastic for his disfigurement, and wears a magically forged suit of armor with a metal mask and green hooded cloak to conceal his facial scars. Regarded as one of the smartest characters and greatest threats in the Marvel Universe, Doom has stolen the abilities of cosmic beings such as the Silver Surfer and the Beyonder in his lust for power, although his pride and arrogance frequently lead to the failures of his schemes of conquest. While his primary obsession is the Fantastic Four, Doom has also fought other heroes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, the X-Men, and the Avengers. The character has been listed among the greatest comic book villains ever created and adapted in various media incarnations, including films, television series, and video games. Joseph Culp, Julian McMahon, Toby Kebbell, and Robert Downey Jr. have portrayed Doom in live-action, while Simon Templeman, Paul Dobson, Clive Revill, and Lex Lang, among others, have provided his voice in animation and video games.
