As unpopular as the decision to bring back Dr. Doom in human form may be- there is an obscure case of the Silver Surfer using the Power Cosmic to transforming a creature from metal to flesh.
It's complicated, but I'll try to sum up...
In his first ever solo story, "The Peerless Power of the Silver Surfer" from FF Annual #5, SS finds Quasimodo, the sentient computer after psychically sensing his anguish after being abandoned by the Mad Thinker.
Using his power to transform Quasimodo from an immobile computer into a mobile human-like form, SS grants Q's wish, but his new appearance is ugly (so SS can give life to computers but not a pretty face
).
This leads Q to seek revenge on SS, but thanks to his fancy surfboard- he splits, leaving Q to his misery.
OK, so I say that they will use this as a model and replace Q with Doom in FF2 so Julian can have some face time. My theory: he'll put on the mask only long enough to satisfy minimum requirements as in the last film (thanks Hollywood!)
So whaddya think?
