Weapons: In his armor, Dr. Doom can lift about 2 tons. One of the world's most brilliant scientists, he has amassed a seemingly endless arsenal of high-tech weaponry. At the very least, his armor incorporates a forcefield and concussion beams. History: Victor von Doom was born to Werner von Doom, a gypsy healer, and Cynthia von Doom, a woman who practiced the arts of sorcery in the tiny European state of Latveria.
The gypsies were persecuted by the baron of Latveria, whose soldiers frequently punished and sometimes even killed members of their tribe. One night Cynthia's meditations were interrupted by the demon called Mephisto. The evil demon promised that if she surrendered her soul, Latveria would become a true homeland for her people, and her infant son would someday become its monarch. She agreed to Mephisto's pact and was granted tremendous mystical power. Cynthia found the baron's soldiers in a village tavern and destroyed them in a fit of anger. But Mephisto had deliberately given her no absolute control over her powers - the deadly spell continued to spread, and every child in the village died horribly. Cynthia was consumed with grief, and renounced her new power. Consequently, she was killed by one of the dying soldiers.
When Victor was a young child, his father was soon contacted by a Latverian Baron to use his gypsy skill and magic to heal his wife but Werner failed and the ailing wife died. Consequently the Baron vowed revenge on Werner and his troupe. The gypsy troupe fled the steppes of Latveria with the Baron's troops close behind them. Werner and Victor fled separately from the rest of the group, into the mountains. They were soon caught up in a cold and harsh winter, and both nearly froze to death when the gypsy band found them. Soon thereafter, Werner died, his last words being, "You must protect . . . protect . . . oohhh . ." Werner's close friend, Boris, fully realized that Werner did not mean to protect his son from the world, but to protect the world from his son and his vengeful heart. On his father's death bed, young Victor vowed revenge against the rest of humanity for the deaths of his parents.
After having losing his parents, Victor Von Doom was raised by Boris whom his father entrusted the care to. Victor began to study the mystic arts of magic with the help of his mother's belongings, a chest of magical potions and tomes. He had established a relationship with his childhood friend, Valeria but soon abondoned it. Finding he had an affinity for the mystic arts, he set to work on deciphering his mother's magical tomes. Soon, he determined the fault in his mother's logic - she sought power from another being when all that was needed was power from within. He also learned that his mother's soul had been trapped by Mephisto, and had not actually died. Doom grew up to travel the Balkans, tricking people to buy magical objects, such as golden statues, that turned to dust after he had left the area. He continued to con people until the dean of an American University heard of the young genius' talents. He was offered a full scholarship to State University in New York City and accepted. At the university, Doom encountered his roomate Reed Richards who repesented a threat to Doom's superiority and Ben Grimm.
Doom's ego prevented him from calculating properly in inventing a trans-dimensional projection device for the purpose of making contact with Mephisto's realm. The invention worked perfectly for two minutes, 37 seconds. It, however, resulted in an explosion. Ironically, Doom was disfigured by his own experiment which malfunctioned. Although Richards previously had warned his classmate of a miscalculation, Doom refused to acknowledge it. Instead, he blamed Richards for the accident. For Doom, it was easier to be convinced that Richards had sabotaged his work out of jealousy than admit to his own mistakes. Consequently the two scientists became mortal foes
Expelled from University for the accident, Doom bitterly traveled the world swathed in bandages, pursuing the study of mythical arts. Eventually, He sought a sorcerer called Aged Genghis in his voracious search for knowledge. Despite being threatened and brutally beaten, Genghis declined to teach Doom but recommended that he go seek a a group of Tibetan monks who will fullfill his destiny. On the advice of aged Genghis, he discovered a village of Tibetan monks who had cast his suit of body armor that concealed his scars to strike terror in his enemies. When the armor was finished, the anxious Doom placed the red-hot mask onto his face, forever disfiguring it.
He then went back to his homeland, planning to topple the previous Latverian king and usurp the throne of Latveria. He cleverly infiltrated King Vladimir's castle as his royal science advisor. He constructed a robotic duplicate of Prince Rudolpho while deceiving a rival of the King, a count of the Drassen family, that he would aid him in a coup for the throne. The count quickly assassinated King Vladimir, thus allowing the robotic doppelganger to ascend to the throne and attend the funeral of his "father". Having fulfilled its programming, the now-king robotic Rudolfo abdicated the throne to Doom. Doom immediately transformed Latveria into a peaceful and proseprous nation with an established complete dictatorship, which he dubbed an "enforced monarchy." The capital was renamed to Doomstadt, and many of the other Latverian cities took on names such as Doomton, Doomsburg, and Doomwood. Doom finally fullfilled his vow of revenge on the people who were responsible for deaths of his parents. Then Doom started his path to achieving his other dream of revenge...the revenge against Reed Richards.
Doctor Doom soon set his plans into motion by attacking the Fantastic Four in their own headquarters. Using a flame-resistant net, he covered the entire Baxter Building and captured the Fantastic Four. He forced them to go back in time, using his Time Platform device, and steal Blackbeard's treasure, which contained powerful, magical gems of Merlin which made the wielder invincible. However, the Fantastic Four captured the treasure and dumped it into the sea, replacing its contents with chains.
When they returned, Doom opened the chest and was outraged. The Thing then attacked and crushed Doom only to discover that he was actually the robot duplicate that Doom had created before his takeover of Latveria. The real Doctor Doom escaped. Doom, still desiring vengeance, swiftly attacked the Fantastic Four again, with the help of a new ally, Namor, the Prince of the underwater city of Atlantis. During the battle, Namor turned on Doom and destroyed his ship, leaving Doom stranded on a meteor adrift in space.
Doom was later picked up by an alien race called the Ovoids, who taught him a method to switch minds with another body. Doom, now returned by the benevolent Ovoids, used this power to switch minds with Reed Richards and trick the Fantastic Four to seal Doom's body, with Reed's mind, in an airtight chamber. Reed escaped and Doom lost control over his hated rival. Doom went on to have many more battles with the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and practically all other super heroes in the Marvel Universe.
Doom continued to rule Latveria, occassionally employing Doombots in his stead. Feeling a need for change, he began conducting cloning experiments to give himself an heir. While successful in cloning himself, he was forced into killing his clone on the day of Victor II's coronation. The ensuing battle left Victor incapacitated and Rudolfo's brother Zorba took control. Like his brother before him, Zorba was a poor king. Latveria quickly lost much of its previous prestige and wealth. Doom, having regained his sanity, was able to convince the Fantastic Four that he was a better monarch and Doom led a coup that resulted in Zorba's presumed death. It was during this uprising that Doom took a young Kristoff Vernard under his charge as an adopted ward and heir after Kristoff's mother was killed.
Doom's memories,which as his robots were instructed, was to be transferred in Kristoff if Doom were to die. In a major struggle between all super heroes and villains called the Secret Wars, Doom battled the Beyonder, a cosmic being of immense power, and defeated him, usurping his cosmic power. The power proved too great for Doom to control, and he was soon destroyed by the weakened Beyonder. As per instruction, his robots transferred all of his memories, which had been copied into a computer, into Kristoff, who assumed control of Latveria.
Due to his immense genius and resourcefulness, Doom even was able to steal the power of Silver Surfer, Galactus and The Beyonder. Doom's life has been shaped by the three goals, namely the ultimate destruction of his hated rival, Reed Richards and fabled Fantastic Four; world domination; and the liberation of his mother's soul from the demon Mephisto's realm which has been one of Doom's most sympathetic qualities. He has accomplished two of these objectives. Accompanied by Dr. Strange, Doom made contact with Mephisto and struck a bargain. Doom's deal included a limited lifespan for his damned mother in exchange for the soul of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme. But in fact Doom never intended to betray Strange so he slipped his device in Dr Strange's cloak, ensuring the sorcerer's freedom. By doublecrossing Mephisto, he succeeded in rescuing his mother's spirit from Mephisto's possession, besting the Devil at his own game, which is considered Doom's crown achievement. Doom also got Strange out of Hell.
And the next aim is world domination. Not satisfied with one nation, Doom begun preparing his schemes of conquest to claim the Earth. while the world's mightiest heroes returned from the alternate Earth after their last battle with the psionic being called Onslaught, Doom stayed behind and conquered that planet which he named "Planet Doom."
In spite of his repeated attempts, Doom has yet to defeat Richards physically or intellectually. He has, however, scored some psychological victories, of which one occured when Reed was forced to wear the armor inserted by the Dreaming Celestial while battling Doom. Unfortunately for Mr. Fantastic, he let himself to be influenced by the mystical properties of Doom's armor. Consequently, the longer Richards is trapped in Doom's armor, the more he becomes Doom. Only Reed's wife, Susan Storm Richards became aware of the fact that Richards is under the influence of Doom's armor, and was greatly disturbed by it. She concluded the only way to free her husband from the armor is to join forces with Doom. Then Susan Richards (Invisible Woman) helped transport Doom back to his Earth from Heroes Reborn Earth and managed to convince her teammates Ben Grimm (Thing) and Johnny Storm (Human Torch) to aid her. Richards battled the true Dr. Doom and lost. In the process, Doom reclaimed his armor triumphantly. The Fantastic Four returned home from Latveria to help Reed recover from the neural-interface withdrawal caused by Doom's reclaiming of his armor.
Doom earned another major psychological victory when he was asked by Human Torch to save the lives of Richards' wife Sue and their second child. The Human Torch was aware his sister and her baby would die without help. With Richards detained by outside forces, Doom was his best and only hope. Johnny Storm pleaded with his greatest enemy to put aside their past differences so Invisible Woman and her child would have even the smallest chance for survival. Seizing the opportunity, Doom was able to save both their lives through a combination of science and sorcery, sending his self-confidence soaring. Indebted to Doom, Sue agreed to let him name the child; he then placed Valeria under his royal protection. Now, whenever Reed looks at his daughter and wife, he will always remember that Doom saved them both when he could not.
Later on, Doom realized he was unnecessarily limiting himself by focusing on technology, and only occasionally his magical birthright. He sold his childhood sweetheart Valeria's soul to a trio of demons in exchange for unlimited magical ability and new leather armour made of her skin. As a direct result of this storyline, Doom was confined to Hell, but later recovered by Reed, who intended to trap him in a small Moebius strip dimension forever. To effect his escape, Doom's consciousness possessed Ben Grimm, forcing Richards to kill them both. Ben Grimm was later brought back from the dead, while Doom's consciousness returned to his imprisoned body.
