## Summary

**Doctor Victor Von Doom** is the dictator of the small European country Latveria and the archnemesis of the Fantastic Four. The son of a Romani witch, Cynthia von Doom, he was orphaned at a young age and grew into a brilliant, stubborn man who used his technology to protect his people. He travelled to the United States to study, where he met Reed Richards and immediately disliked him. However, after a machine he created to communicate with the dead malfunctioned, his face was badly scarred, and he blamed Richards for the incident. Expelled, he travelled the world, ultimately collapsing on a Tibetan mountainside. There, he was rescued by monks, whose martial arts he mastered before taking control of their order himself. After creating himself a complex suit of power armour, complete with a mask to hide his badly scarred face, he named himself **Doctor Doom**. He conquered Latveria and looked to the future, immersing himself in sorcery and science so he could conquer the planet and rule over it.

**Attack Potency:** **Planet Level** (Fought against Thing. Destroyed a group of Doombots that were almost comparable to him. Evenly matched Iron Man's Model 29 and Model 42 armours). Up to **Multiverse Level+** via Doombots, non-standard technology or Preparation (After millions of years of mastering black arts, he killed a Watcher with an "off-the-scale power source", it being an alternate-dimension version of Uatu. Can channel mystic energy that exists in vibranium to connect himself to every piece of vibranium on the planet, gaining power greater than that which he had when he held a Cosmic Cube, which was used to defeat Doom with the power of a well-fed Galactus, who could "end all time -- all existence -- with a simple thought". Through Power Absorption, he stole Galactus' power in the same scale, siphoned the cosmic powers of a Watcher and turned it into an armour, then attempted to claim Uatu's power for his own. Absorbed the Life Force power of Scarlet Witch, which far surpassed the power of the Cosmic Cube Beyonder. Possesses a small army of Doombots powered by an artificial emulation of the Power Cosmic comparable to the real thing. Cut through Hulk's skull with adamantium chainsaw to perform brain surgery. Recreated The Destroyer by draining the Odinforce from Asgardians. Can artificially emulate the Power Cosmic). Can ignore conventional durability in several ways | **Planet Level** (Wears and utilises Iron Man's Model 51 armour) | **Outerverse Level** (After Molecule Man absorbed the power of Beyonders, Doom was allowed to channel a part of it. Fought and overpowered a user of The Infinity Gauntlet. Easily killed Phoenix Force Cyclops. Re-created Galactus to be Franklin Richard's servant) | **Outerverse Level** (Gained the power of the Beyonder)

**Speed:** **Relativistic+** (Kept up with Spider-Man and Iron Man. Caught the shield of Captain America. Countered Black Panther). Up to **Massively FTL+** with Doombots, non-standard technology or preparation (Strongest Doombots should be comparable to Silver Surfer after being empowered by Power Cosmic, and Doom can reach similar speeds himself) | At least **Relativistic+** (Comparable to Iron Man), **Massively FTL+** flight speed | **Immeasurable** | **Immeasurable**

**Lifting Strength:** **Class G** (Crushed a diamond with ease) | **Class T** | **Immeasurable** | **Immeasurable**

**Striking Strength:** **Planet Level**. Up to **Multiverse Level+** via Doombots, non-standard technology or Preparation | **Planet Level** | **Outerverse Level** | **Outerverse Level**

**Durability:** **Planet Level** (Inside the armour, survives attacks on this level either relatively fine or harmed while running the risk of being killed, but the armour itself is more durable. Can take hits from Thing). Up to **Multiverse Level+** via Doombots, non-standard technology or Preparation | **Planet Level** | **Outerverse Level** (Tanked blows from a user of The Infinity Gauntlet) | **Outerverse Level**

**Stamina:** Superhuman (Fought off legions of demons in Hell after losing demonic mystic powers. Through sheer hatred, managed to survive the Marquis of Death turning his heart to stone and blood to acid while destroying his atoms, right before being tossed millions of years into the past and being torn limb from limb by Megalodons)

**Range:** At least Kilometres with normal blasts, Planetary with other technology, Interstellar with teleportation | Outerversal | Outerversal

**Standard Equipment:**

* Power Armor
* Other, Optional Technology
* Cosmic Artifacts

* **Power Armor:** Doom is never without his signature power armour, a technological marvel he magically forged at a Tibetan monastery and which he has extensively upgraded and modified over the years. It incorporates many systems, some optional and others almost always present, and Doom builds on it whenever necessary. These systems include jet systems, advanced sensory systems that can scan on all frequencies, many computers that allow it to automatically track and attack targets, a nearly self-aware AI that constantly works to improve Doom's defences, supported by other adaptive technologies, and life support systems that produce air, water, food, and energy. Doom's armour also contains many weapons, such as grenades, lasers, missiles, plasma cannons, repulsor beams, and so on. It is also protected by an electrical current that shocks anyone who touches it, and a powerful forcefield. The armour even has fragments of the True Cross incorporated to fend off vampires and demons. It has fail safes to make sure that only Doom can make full use of its abilities, to ensure his technology cannot be used against him, and even if it is worn by someone else, it will slowly brainwash them and replace their personality with Doom's. Other systems include;
	+ **Ectoplasmic Ionizer:** Built into Doom's armour, this allows him to dispel the spirits of the dead, sending them to the afterlife.
	+ **Inhibitor Ray:** Doom's inhibitor ray can be used to dampen the supernatural powers of others and subtly affect their minds to make it impossible for them to attack him.
	+ **Instant Hypnotism Impulsers:** Doom's gloves have these hypnotic devices built into them, which allows Doom to hypnotise others by pointing his hand at them.
	+ **Miniature flying spy camera:** A flying camera no bigger than a pea that is controlled by Doom. It can be used to stealthy see and hear enemy territory for Doom to gain valuable information.
	+ **Molecular Expander:** Doom carries a Molecular Expander with him that he can use to expand pebbles and even atomic particles to the size of boulders.
	+ **Nerve-Scrambler Ray:** Using this weapon, Doom can scramble his opponents' nerve impulses to prevent them from properly controlling their body or coordinating their movements.
	+ **Unknown booby traps and point-singularity power supply:** Even with Doom captured and his armour's power drained, heroes like the Avengers may fear the many booby traps awaiting any who dare attempt to remove the armour from Doom, despite the likes of Thor and She-Hulk being in the team and thus implying either a reaction at their level of power or some form of hax. The zone of his ankle also houses a secret button that can restore the power of his armour.
	+ **Power Cosmic Siphon Harness:** A device that Doom built that allows him to absorb the power of others. Originally a clunky harness, it has decreased in size over the years, eventually becoming a part of Doom's armour. It allows him to near-instantly drain the power of even cosmic beings such as Terrax, Silver Surfer, Watchers such as Uatu and Galactus.
	+ **Refrigeration Gloves:** Doom's gloves have a refrigerating device built into them that can quickly fully freeze others when contact is made.
	+ **Time Cube:** Doom has a Time Cube incorporated into his armour, which he can use to manipulate time, reversing it to reconstruct his destroyed castle.

* **Skin Armor:** After making a pact with the Hazareth Three, and sacrificing his lifelong love, Valeria, Doom gained this mystic armor and all the knowledge he would've possessed if he had devoted his entire life to mastering magic. However, after failing to deliver on his end of the pact, he lost these powers.
* **Iron Man Armor Model 51:** As the Infamous Iron Man, Doom has carried on Iron Man's legacy and wears his newest armour, Model Prime.

- **Actuality Shield:** A personal shield that can transform the unreal into real things, allowing it to counteract Nightmare's powers and reduce him to a physical being.

- **Doombots:** Doom is well-known for his legions of Doombots, robotic doppelgangers created to fool others into thinking that they have defeated him or to act in his stead. Each Doombot's mind is near completely identical to Doom's, preventing telepaths from telling the difference. His most powerful Doombots are outfitted with replications of the Power Cosmic, making them equal to the likes of the Silver Surfer.

- **Emotion Charger:** Doom used this device to make every villain on Earth active at once, affecting even Kang in the future and Super-Skrull within the Andromeda Galaxy.

- **The Prime Mover:** One of Doom's most powerful inventions, the Prime Mover allowed him to control reality and dictate the actions of others by entering in commands and directing reality as if it were a chessboard. With the Prime Mover, he can retroactively remake the lives of others and even himself, temporarily making it so that he had always been a tulpa formed from the dark side of Reed's subconscious.

- **Reducing Ray:** A shrink ray that Doom created while in Reed's body that allows him to shrink others down into "nothingness" - in truth, this shrinks them down to below subatomic size, sending them to the Microverse.

- **Time-Shift Bomb:** A bomb that throws those affected 2 seconds back in time, distorting their perception and allowing Doom to easily avoid their lagging movements.

- **Vibration Bomb:** A bomb that erases the loyalties and personalities of all those caught in the blast and replaces it with complete and utter loyalty to Doom, making his thoughts their only thoughts, and his will their own will.

- **Cosmic Cube:** A powerful cosmic artifact that contains the power of a 4-dimensional space-time continuum and grants its wielder the ability to fulfil their wishes by warping the world around them. In the storyline of *Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comics Magazine*, Doom acquired a Cosmic Cube by travelling into the past and took it for himself. He can use it to create constructs in the shapes of others and with their powers, banish others to alternate dimensions, nullify the powers of others, even those as powerful as Galactus, and even become one with the universe itself. At one point, Doom's scientists even created their own Cosmic Cube, which was able to layer other universes over the prime 616 reality.

- **Cosmic Control Rod:** Annihilus' symbol of power, a device that allows its wielder to control the cosmic energies of the Negative Zone and halt their ageing process. During the aforementioned storyline, this is one of the artifacts that Doom acquires.

- **Helix of Randac:** An endless supply of bio-energy used by the Inhumans, which Doom stole in the aforementioned storyline and used to alter himself so he could survive while utilising the Ultimate Machine.

- **Ultimate Machine:** The Ultimate Machine is an ancient device owned by Uatu that contains all the information in the universe and can be worn like a helmet to access this knowledge. However, for most beings, even those as smart as the Leader, these billions upon billions of sensations would prove lethal, making it impossible to use it. Doom, however, was able to draw upon its knowledge after modifying himself with the Inhumans' Helix of Randac.

**Intelligence:** Supergenius (A brilliant polymath only rivalled on Earth by Reed Richards and High Evolutionary, thus one of the three smartest people on the planet. His brain is faster than the world's most advanced computers, and even in his college years, he was smarter than professors and revolutionised computer science because computers available could not keep up with him. Invented many extremely advanced weaponry and items, including his armour, more advanced than even that of Iron Man. Has vast knowledge of science and sorcery amassed through time travels, knowing enough of magic to be a candidate for Sorcerer Supreme, and having knowledge of spells that even Doctor Strange doesn't know. Mystic library contains texts from the dawn of writing. Easily reprogrammed robots far more advanced than normal humans can comprehend, and even reprogrammed Ultron to be completely loyal to him. At one point, though the knowledge was later lost to him, Doom even learned how to create his own Cosmic Cube. Understanding Hyperstorm's advanced technology was a simple matter for him, and he's also a practiced brain surgeon. Mastered the secrets of Vibranium, which not even Wakanda and T'Challa could accomplish. His consciousness was vast and powerful enough to download a planet’s worth of data. Loki has stated that he somewhat fears Doom's intelligence and states that he's confident that Doom could even clone Thor with time. Accounts for all possibilities in combat, building failsafe after failsafe into his armour to deal with any negative outcomes. Being nearly killed and sent millions of years into the past was not enough to kill Doom, who survived through sheer hatred and mastered black arts that he couldn't even fathom before, spending millions of years waiting for his chance to betray Marquis of Death. Exceptionally skilled in close combat and strategy, catching Captain America's shield and matching Black Panther. Master swordsman and tactician, at one point switching places with a doppelgänger while fighting Reed and simultaneously time travelling to fake his death. While Reed has been said to be his only better, only Doom could return Ben Grimm to human form, and only Doom saved his unborn daughter Valeria. Considered by many to be the most dangerous man on Earth, including Kang the Conqueror and Thanos | Nigh-Omniscient with Ultimate Machine (Grants its wielder all knowledge in the universe, including of things that are currently transpiring)

**Weaknesses:** Very arrogant and overconfident. Sometimes becomes bored and allows opponents to win. Abides by strict code of honour. Lost "Skin Armor" and enhanced magical abilities and knowledge after failing to honour deal with the Hazareth Three. Cannot retain Power Cosmic to same extent as Silver Surfer or Galactus, as he is still only human, though Doombots do not have this shortcoming. Subject to hunger when wielding Galactus' power | Cannot fully control the powers of the Beyonder

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Psionics:** Doom has studied and gained access to a host of mental abilities, evolving as a being through his extensive mental development.
	+ **Hypnosis:** Doom has the power to hypnotise others through eye contact, dominating their minds with his overwhelming willpower.
	+ **Ovoid Mind Transfer:** A mental power that Doom learned from the alien Ovoids. By making eye contact with another being, he can transfer his consciousness into their body, switching places their original consciousness, and leaving them in his old body. As he prefers his own body to that of any other, he dislikes doing this, but will do it if necessary, and can even use it multiple times in quick succession while fighting.

* **Magic:** Doom is one of the greatest sorcerers on Earth. He has amassed this magical knowledge from several tutors and sources over the years, reading from many tomes of black magic and training under Morgan le Fay, Doctor Strange, the Haazareth Three, and the Marquis of Death. His magical knowledge was far enhanced during his pact with the Hazareth Three, giving him his Skin Armor and all the knowledge that he would've had had he devoted his entire life to mastering magic rather than science.
	+ **Anti-Physics:** During his demonic powerup, Doom's presence alone was enough to slowly repeal the laws of physics around him, weakening their influence.
	+ **Crimson Bands of Cytorrak:** A spell that draws power from the god Cytorrak to create several red energy rings to bind an opponent.
	+ **Dreamtime:** Thanks to his research, Doom can access the Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime to communicate with others through their dreams.
	+ **Healing:** Doom can use his mystic abilities to heal himself and others, such as to repair his broken neck.
	+ **Spirit Reversal:** A spell that crippled The Sentry, but only due to his unstable mental state.
	+ **Summoning:** Doom can summon a variety of demons and monsters, calling upon entire hordes of demonic abominations to fight against his opponents, some of which are strong enough on their own to match the likes of the Thing.
	+ **Teleportation:** Doom's mystic abilities allow him to teleport, and he can even interfere with the teleportation spells of others, controlling and changing their destinations so they will arrive wherever he pleases, even on a far-off planet.
	+ **Temporal Banishment:** Doom was able to easily banish Morgan le Fay back in time, stranding her in 1,000,000 B.C.
