“I Am Victor Von Beau, fear My Power, Insects!”
by beloved Smith
I can’t even discover him on Facebook or Twitter.
Due to time, a failing memory, as well as money, I can’t keep up with every marvel Comic that comes out, so my hunting of physician Doom is ending up like a “Where’s Waldo” book.
Correct me if I’m wrong, however to my recollection, Victor Von Doom hasn’t tried to dominate the world in a while. What the offer with that? has he retired, lost interest, or perhaps bought a condo in Florida?
“Doctor Doom’s Christmas Greeting.”
I miss the guy in the original iron mask making life a grind for each costumed marvel superhero on the roster. It utilized to be physician Doom was not only beating The great four liked a rented super mule, however he likewise took time to make sure the blue collar criminal offense fighters were getting knocked around as well. I miss that.
“I have Immunity, Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with them bringing back Thanos as well as Ultron, they’re competent poor guys. however let’s deal with facts, they don’t compare with Doom. Victor has tangled with every marvel hero as well as rival poor guys at one point or another. even though his fit was made from metal, he always bounced back like a ticked off, upset rubber ball. I always liked they method he would wave his diplomatic immunity card in everyone’s face, right after trying to strike them to smithereens. You have to like that.
“His plan is so simple…so genius!”
I was believing of Doom the other day when storing as well as going with my many notebooks of pitches as well as story ideas. I discovered my notes on a physician Doom story (very short version here) where Doom had been costs a great deal of his time just inventing as well as ruling over Latveria, taking a long time off, when a young, contemporary world dominator starts making things truly irritating for the world in general, including physician Doom’s homeland of Latveria. None of the usual superhero suspects seem to be able to defeat or even discover this contemporary age annoyance as well as bring him in. So Doom takes it upon himself to seek out this troublemaker out as well as mash his molecules. In the story, visitors old as well as new, get to see Doom’s brilliant in getting the task done. After all, who finest to stop a world dominator than the very best world dominator?
Doom manipulates, terminates, as well as frustrates great guys as well as poor guys alike as he utilizes his iron glove with brute force as well as with a velvet covering when he has to in his objective to spank the badness out of the upstart. This story would be a Doom appreciation story for not only the characters in the book, however for all readers. It would likewise bring Doom back to his rightful throne in the marvel world as the King of bad.
“I kill you now, however will respect you in the morning.”
The thing I’ve always liked as well as admired about Doom is that he’s not always a raving madman. He understands exactly how to work his foes as well as likewise ally himself with them when there is a higher goal to achieve. Doom may not “like” his enemies, however he never underestimates them as well as the most difficult ones, he always respects. Sure, he’d kill Reed Richards if he felt that was what was needed to get his task done, however Doom would likewise be the very first in line to lay a increased on Reed’s grave at the funeral since he aspects him as a foe.
I miss Doom. I believe I’m not alone in this moment of sentimentality. I believe a great deal of you would like to see more of the baddest guy on the planet. There might likewise be some visitors available that have never truly gotten to understand Victor Von Doom, as well as I’d like them to have the possibility to see the physician at work.
“Doom’s response when beloved Smith’s name comes up.”
I likewise miss the method Doom talks. The guy is the master of true villain talk, the “How attempt You’s” as well as the “I will crush you, Insects” stuff never grows old. NEVER!! (See, I can channel my inner-Doom when I have to.)
Will I get my possibility to compose this Doom story? I question it. I don’t truly understand that many editorial people at marvel anymore as well as I haven’t been on Brian Bendis’s speed dial since we worked together for Todd McFarlane, so I assumption we’ll have to depend upon somebody else to renew physician Doom’s permit of medical mayhem on marvel Comics. perhaps it’ll happen. perhaps it’ll take a new great four movie to be a hit as well as make it transpire. We’ll see.
“The biggest response to all questions.”
