State Your Opinion on a Character!!!! (Reboot) - Part 2

[Duke]

Love Dr. Doom. He's my 2nd favorite Marvel villain second only to the Red Skull for me.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

yeah! like everybody has said Doom is Marvel's greatest Villain( though i like Thanos More!) i have yet to meet anybody who didnt think he was cool.i always loved how he would pull all his shenanigans and then be like "yeah! Ok you got me!.. but i call" Diplomatic immunity!" and they would have to let him go(which makes alot more sense than freaking letting the Joker escape from Arkham all the time!)
oh and Bah! DOOM cares not about you pitful opinions! Doom knows he is cool!

 

[Themanofbat]

In 1987, during the Fantastic Four Vs The X-Men mini series, there's a part in the story where Reed has to go over complex mathematical calculations in his head (to save Kitty's life) while Doom gloats over his shoulder... it's all kinds of awesome...

 

[scatterax]

He's the one villain that believably works well opposite every major marvel hero.

You want iron man to take him on? Perfect fit. Spider-Man? Perfect fit. Xmen? Good idea. Heck the only character that he would seem off against is the punisher. But I'm sure even then they could make a good story out of that show down.

I'm not much of a FF fan, but doom has it all. He outshines the FF to me. And he's a clear darth vader inspiration, as he had been a popular character years before Star Wars was made.

I think Punisher tried to take him down once, didn't end up well for Frank

What's with Kings in Marvel? They go as the ambassador in New York
Difference between Doom and T'Challa is; T'Challa is a bro, he hangs with you and you forget he's a king sometimes, all you think of is you are sitting next to one of the greatest fellas you could meet, and a terrific hero
The other one is paranoid, overprotective, show him a shred of disrespect in his country and you end up in his dungeons getting tortured. With that though, he is still willing to help when he finds it necessary, in his own way

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I think DOOM is due some spotlight time in Marvel. There needs to be some kind of story where he teams up with the heroes against a bigger menace because Reed or Iron Man are out of it in some way. When Thanos is scheming or Kang comes knocking I often wonder what Doom is planning to counter them should the heroes fail.

Well dang, I thought there should be an event where he's the main villain, but your idea is better

 

[WolfCypher]

Lame origins, awesome everything else. An all-time classic, and worthy of being a big bad to the entire Marvel Universe. His ego and arrogance is so heavy, and his look is one that needs no big updates, it still works to this day. He never settles for small, so you know whatever conflicts he initiates or instigates will be large-scale.

Lame origins...

Yep. Come at me, Hype

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

You're going to have to elaborate why Domm's origin is lamer than any other character's.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Doom is on my Marvel villain Mount Rushmore, along with Loki, Magneto, and Norman Osborn.

 

[KevanG]

Doom is awesome as he's the villain that everyone wants to see because he's just been built up as something awesome. He's like the Earth version of Thanos. Both have taken over their respective areas, both are rightly feared by pretty much anybody who knows about them and if you have them coming after you, you better hope the Avengers/FF/anyone else can protect you from them because nothing else can stop them.

Doom is just a fun character. He's an egomaniac like many supervillains but unlike 99% of them he's done what he's set out to do. Get Respect? Check. Be feared? Check. Rule a country? Check. Take over the world? Check. He even went to the future, retook Latveria then went on to take over the USA and take down the mega corps a few notches before he was done. His 2099 book was one of the few worth reading.

He invented a time machine by himself, has his own country, a nuclear arsenal, built Doombots that are as powerful as he is, is second to Strange as a master magician, fought the devil multiple times, took on everybody who opposed him and either figures out how to win ahead of time or gets enough info thanks to his suit to beat them next time. He's even beat the FF/Avengers/X-Men several times alone when teams of others who were far more powerful could barely hold their own.

He's not really an evil jerkhole like most of the villains are (Norman Osborn) or over confident in his abilities (99% of the rest of them), he just thinks he's right all the time and most of the time he can back it up. He cares for his people and if you hurt them them you're going down no matter what stands in the way.

The only problem I have with how they write him is how they characterize him. Sometimes they'll show him being a caring dictator who cares for his people and lets them live their lives as they would as long as they don't try to revolt. Other times they show him killing one or two just because then siccing Doombots on the rest for no reason.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Doom's awesome.

Nothing much else to say.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

DR. KAVITA RAO​

Wait, so Superman worships a Hindu icon?

 

[lost&forgotten]

Doom's great I don't like though when he's written too over the top and nothing much where he's pretty much a parody of himself like in Fraction's FF run I hated that Doom but when he's written like he should be he's the best villain in the marvel universe right next to Magneto.

I like dr. Rao as the X-Men's support cast wchich they dont really have anymore. She's great in X-Club. Oh and btw i can't wait till we do Dr. Nemesis =D.

 

[runawayboulder]

She's an OK supporting cast member.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't like her

 

[KevanG]

I liked her back with Dr Nemesis on the X-Mens Mad Scientist Squad on Utopia. They had great chemistry, what with him being totally bananas and her trying not to murder him.

 

[OriginalMiles]

She was the worst part of Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run. That's all I can say.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I think she's alright

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Have no idea who that is so my opinion is null and voided...NEXT!

 

[Manic]

I liked Rao. She was always the most stable member of the X-Men's science team, which balanced well with everyone else being completely effing insane.

But she's also incredibly naive. She developed the mutant cure to help mutants whose powers were uncontrollably dangerous, but it never once crossed her mind that someone might have ulterior motives behind aiding her research.

 

[random_havoc]

Hated the X Club and she is forgettable to me

 

[KevanG]

What? How can you hate this?

 

[lost&forgotten]

Agreed X-Club was pure awesomeness

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I stopped withh X-Men after Whedon's run, but the idea of the mutancy cure, with no ulterior motive has potential that's barely been tapped. I actually if I think hard about it actually agree with Roa's statement in her appearance early in Joss' eun. Mutants aren't a scourge. They arent the next step in evolution either. They aren't a separate race. They are people with abnormal genes. Full stop. And those that have mutantcy that makes life difficult should have the option of getting help. If your mutantcy consists of having a porn stars body and serious energy manipulation power or off the charts TK I'm sure you wouldn't get it, but if you are the parent of a child whose skin oozed acid or are a person that now looks like an insect and is forced to eat cat ****, you may think a cure aint that bad.
