The Many Moods of Doctor Doom

I’ve made no secret on this blog of my love of Doctor Doom. He is, in fact, the awesomest villain of all time. (This is a Fact. Don’t dispute me on it. You’ll be Wrong. All Hail Doom!)

One of the things that makes him so awesome? Even when wearing a mask made of solid metal, he can easily convey the depth of his emotions. Metal yields to the strength of his will!

And Doom? He is a man of many, many emotions. Some people make the mistake of thinking that his only emotions are anger, furor, and ire but that’s just not true. Our Once and Future Overlord is capable of of feeling feelings much, much deeper than that.

To get a glimpse into Doctor Doom’s soul, one needs to look no further than Fantastic Four #16 (July 1963)

See! It says he’s the “most amazing” right there on the cover. That makes it a FACT!

The Thing vs. Existential Despair

Meet…Doctor Doom!

As I stated in my intro post, I fucking love Doctor Doom. I would totally move to Latveria and let him become my evil overlord. (I hear that’s what all the kids are calling it these days…) If you knew the amount time I spent discussing Doctor Doom with my BFF, you may actually worry about my sanity. For reals. So it seemed fitting that this blog should include the classic The Fantastic Four #5. Before this comic, the world was cold, bleak, and Doom-less. But then, on that bright July day in 1962, the world finally knew the awesomeness that is Doom.
