Badass Doctor Doom moments

[Watchman]

Dr. Doom after he watched Beaches for the first time.

Doom doesn't cry. That's obviously water running away from his eyes because they are so piercing.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Doom will erase that from existence.

...and now it never happened.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That grill over his mouth always looked weird to me.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I liked how the Manhunters in the JL cartoon sorta adopted Doom's grill.

Dr. Doom after he watched Beaches for the first time.

Damn, I remember that. That's from the 9/11 memorial special. It also has the Kingpin and a third big league villain I can't remember (Red Skull? Magneto?) mourning the causalities with incredibly tacky narration. Weird stuff.

 

[fifthfiend]

I wanted to hate that and then I realized 9/11 was exactly the kind of tragedy Doom would mourn. He would totally sit there being like IF THE WORLD WOULD ONLY SUBMIT TO BEING GROUND BENEATH DOOM'S IRON BOOT-HEEL, SUCH A TRAGEDY WOULD NEVER OCCUR!

I think it was Magento if memory serves. I appreciated the drive and idea behind that issue, but that whole scene really felt too heavy-handed and sentimental. I guess I can't really fault it for that since it was so close to the time it happened, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's pretty illogical, but I remember feeling it was touching at the time. Ultimately, you can just ignore it if it bugs you. It was clearly an issue that existed more as a memorial for 9/11 than as an important part of any character's canon.

Dunno... America has a different attitude to tragedy. For me, the whole issue was outright morbid and made me feel uncomfortable. It wasn't Superman slap a jap level propaganda but felt like it cheapened the whole event.

I'm a comic book fan, and I'm not sure I would want Doctor Doom mourning my violent death in a comic book.

Scratch that, I would love that. But not sure my gf would. Even if it's a free issue, it's still an effort to build a brand. From what I hear, Marvel was one of the least offenders, when it came to capitalizing on the tragedy, but still.

But you know, different countries, continents. Every nation mourns a little differently. If Marvel though Doctor Doom crying is the appropriate response, than they were probably right.

Well, to be fair, most of the 9/11 issues profits that Marvel and DC did (including the ASM one if memory serves) went to various benefits and charities related to 9/11.

 

[GyLocke]

Still brand building.

But enough of that. Doom kills Kiss.

and air latveria:

 

[Tron Bonne]

Still brand building.

I didn't say it wasn't, but that there was some positive there. Even if they were trying to capitalize and brand build, some were helped with the money they made.

[Obi-Ron]

Wow, Kiss, that's epic.

 

[bored]

Okay, fighting KISS. I need context.

Okay, fighting KISS. I need context.

From MARVEL COMICS SUPER SPECIAL #1, circa 1977.

In the comic, the four band members of KISS use magical talismans to assume superhuman form and gain mystical powers. Dr. Doom wanted their talismans.

[SuperFerret]

Are we just realizing this? That's not even Doom's best moment.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

When did Superman meet Doctor Doom? And drawn by a Buscema, by the looks of it...

 

[Franklin Richards]

In the second Superman / Spiderman team up. We had a vote on it in the MarvelVSDC thread about a month back or so.

I believe it was a giant comic.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And John Buscema drew it? I totally have to read that now.

 

[Franklin Richards]

It really wasn't bad. Parasite was still kinda new to me then but he was perfect for a Doom stooge.

It was a Tabloid size crossover . It also had A Hulk superman battle. Wonder Woman is also in the book. Just a great comic.
