Doctor Doom, a supervillain in Marvel Comics and the archenemy of the superhero team the Fantastic Four, has appeared in various forms of media and been featured in almost every adaptation of the Fantastic Four franchise, including films, television series, and video games.
Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom appears in The Fantastic Four (1994), portrayed by Joseph Culp. This version is a former college friend of Reed Richards who was nearly killed in an accident when they tried to capture the power of the Colossus comet.
Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom appears in Fantastic Four (2005), portrayed by Julian McMahon. This version is the billionaire CEO of Von Doom Industries who sponsors and accompanies the Fantastic Four on a space expedition, during which he is exposed to cosmic rays and gains metallic skin and electrokinesis. McMahon reprises the role in the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Victor von Doom, later known simply as "Doom", appears in Fantastic Four (2015), portrayed by Toby Kebbell.[7][8] This version is an anti-social computer programmer who works for the Baxter Foundation and is mentored by Franklin Storm. He accompanies the Fantastic Four on an unsanctioned voyage to the dimension Planet Zero, during which he is mutated by a green liquid substance and gains telekinesis.
Doctor Doom appears as unlockable cosmetic outfits in Fortnite Battle Royale. His standard appearance was released as part of Chapter 2's "Nexus War" season, while a second outfit was released for Chapter 5's "Absolute Doom" season, in which he serves as the central antagonist. Prior to the latter season, "The Wanderer" was teased throughout Chapter 5, which was later revealed to be Doom. He is also the villain of the "Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War" tie-in comics, allying with the Imagined Order to destroy the Zero Point.[18]
Doctor Doom and his 2099 counterpart appear as NPCs in Marvel Rivals, serving as the main villains after enacting an interdimensional war with each other. This results in the creation of the Timestream Entanglement, the inciting event of the game and the reason heroes across the multiverse are fighting one another.
Literature
Doctor Doom serves as the initial villain in the Chaos Engine trilogy, which opens with the revelation that Doom has rewritten history so that he is now the ruler of the world, having defeated other villains such as the Mandarin, married to Storm and hunting Magneto as his arch-enemy. Fortunately, a group of X-Men were outside reality when this rewrite occurred and are dispatched to investigate, which leads to them and the "local" Betsy Braddock (her memories restored by Jean Grey) learning that Doom created this reality through a Cosmic Cube. However, this cube turns out to be flawed in two ways; not only does use of it to maintain this new world drain the user's life-force so that Doom now appears to be in his eighties or older, but he didn't actually change the history of his world but just "superimposed" another Earth's history onto it. After Psylocke takes him out of reality after Magneto acquires the Cube, Doom is restored to his rightful age and attempts to stage a coup in the Starlight Citadel, only to be opposed by the X-Men and Magneto. He is ultimately returned to Earth with his knowledge of how to access the Citadel or create a new Cube removed so that he cannot attempt such a scheme again.[20]
Podcast
The Marvel's Wastelanders podcast series features a version of the Old Man Logan Dr. Doom and his Doombots, both voiced by Dylan Baker.[21] Doom is first mentioned in the 2021 Marvel's Wasterlanders: Star-Lord series, which takes place in Doomwood, a section of the American West under the control of Dr. Doom and heavily policed by Doombots. Doom himself makes an appearance in the series' final episode.[22] In September 2022, the 10-episode series Marvel's Wastelanders: Doom began, with Baker returning to voice Doom.[23] The series picks up where Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord ended and follows Doom as he teams up with Valeria Richards to seek revenge on those who betrayed him on V-Day.[24]
