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

[Anubis]

Ah the low level weirdos that make comics worth reading.

Heard of him once. Think he was on Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Think he was on Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

I don't remember him in that show either as a cameo or being mentioned

 

[Anubis]

That first ep with Luke Cage and Iron Fist. When they introduced Scott Lang. He was one of the Thugs working for Crossfire or whatever that dudes name was.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Have to check that episode again

 

[ObakeTora]

I'll say it again... There are a crap metric ton of villains that really should take a long hard look at themselves and ask what the bloody point is? If you just can't get away from the life, then up your game. Other wise, you really should be taking stock and wondering why you got into this profession in the first place?

I just became a recent Dr. Doom fan after reading Doom without armor. Lately I have been obsessed with the Monarch, and I ask myself this question, isn't it time for Doom to become a hero?

 

[Anubis]

He is a hero....in his eyes...and the eyes of the people he's brainwashed into believing he's a hero.

He's like if Kim Jong Un was a super genius/magus.....like for real for real not fake like Kim Jong Un is.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

uh yeah.. i remember reading that dude in Luke cage's book. he was one of his baddies and for the life i cant remember anything he ever did..
NEXT!!!

 

[OriginalMiles]

This guy...

I don't know who this guy is, but having a mace hand must not be easy.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

MRS. ARBOGAST​

 

[ObakeTora]

He is a hero....in his eyes...and the eyes of the people he's brainwashed into believing he's a hero.

He's like if Kim Jong Un was a super genius/magus.....like for real for real not fake like Kim Jong Un is.

Lets say I got arrested for sneaking into Latveria (I heard those Eastern European countries have some great hash)! I meet Doom, and after he's done yelling at me and bragging how smarter he is than Richards, what do you think he would do if I suddenly interrupted him and told him...

"That maybe so, but you could never be a better hero than him. Reed would never trade Susan for special magic power from Demons."

After being called a "primrose popinjay" and vaporized to atoms, do you think in his private moments he would take it to heart?"

~What the heck is a primose popinjay anyway?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't think I gave doom his turn yet

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I'm not actually all that familiar with the era of IM that Mrs. A was a part of, and I'm not all that big on IM's runs anyway. (I find that he's not had all that many great ones to be honest.)

 

[Spider-Aziz]

She's in the Michilline run, one of the best Iron Man runs

 

[runawayboulder]

Greatest character of all time.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

No one will make a comment on the her shock finding the Hulk in Tony's penthouse?

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Mrs A is cool!her role in the comics is like that of Pepper's in the movies. keeping track of Tony's Floozies and getting them a cab afterwards( you aint gotta go home, but you gotta get the HELL outta Mr. Stark's house!).. an occasionally sparring with super-villains like Whirlwind! She's cool though i have no idea how she didnt know Tony was IM after all those years!I like her

~What the heck is a primose popinjay anyway?

it's like a"dandy Highwayman" only with more lavender and lace.. kinda like prince!

 

[ObakeTora]

Hahahahahahaahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS KING VICTOR VON DOOM​

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Point blank: One of the best over the top super villains in comic books. And it works BECAUSE he's so over the top. The speaking in the third person, the ego, the quest for total control, genius, the vanity, the total badassery, the code of honor mixed with the willingness to do ANYTHING... Yeah, Victor is one of the all time greats. (And I love that Reed usually starts off with any meeting with Doom by calling him Victor. It's always come off as kind of passive aggressive to me. "Victor, it doesn't have to be this way" or "Victor, what do you hope to accomplish by this?" It's like Reed is saying "Yeah, I know... You are DOCTOR DOOM. Monarch and Super Villain supreme. But to me, you'll always be Victor, the dude that couldn't see how he'd screwed up his calculations in college.")

I really liked Kirby's take that Doom was actually the possessor of only one tiny scar under the mask. That he was such an egomaniac that simply one small flaw pushed him over the edge. That's the interesting thing about Doom to me. All that bluster an in reality he's just a guy with a fragile sense of self because of his obsession with perfection. I also am of the mind that his competition with Reed is totally one sided. I think that when Doom goes to sleep at night it's with the thoughts of how he can't stand that Reed might be smarter than him and is given plaudits and praise by the wider world. I think when Reed goes to sleep at night Doom is the farthest thing from his mind. (And seriously if I was going to bed with Sue, I wouldn't be thinking of a guy named Victor either.)

But Doom is also a force to be reckoned with and of all the villains of Marvel, I would take his assessment of the heroes more seriously than any other. He's just a great villain for any hero to go up against, and the more epic the hero the better, though there's also moments like when Spidey or Luke Cage cross paths with him and it turns out to be a winner of a story as well.

All in all DOCTOR DOOM is that rare old school super villain that's still got it in the 21st Century.

 

[The Hill]

^^ This x1000.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Doctor Doom is alright I guess. He's a good villain.

 

[runawayboulder]

Krypton Inc pretty much nailed it. He's the best villain at Marvel next to Thanos.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Doom is the goddamn best

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh man, KRYPTON, you just made my eyes tear


Anyone remembers that time in Mark Waid's run when Victor was walking with a mask only, he passed by a woman and her child crying, and apologized cause his look is an unpleasant sight, but the woman replied "the baby can't cry because of you, the baby is blind"?
I thought that was a cool moment with Doom having a heart

 

[random_havoc]

He's the best villain at Marvel next to Thanos.

Yep!
