>there's a mega autist in a castle who rules over his own country>supposedly a super genius that has hundreds of robots exactly like him>also a wizard on par with dr. strange>for some reason picks fights with heroes like the fantastic four and spider-manyou guys don't actually believe this, do you?
>>155438599He's spoken at the goddamn United Nations before. He has no inside voice and refers to himself in third-person, so yes, I 100% believe that a Eastern Euro micronation shit hole is run by this specific mega autist fixated on suits of armor, robots, and magic while seething at his old college roommate. He's also chuuni as fuck; von Doom is not an ethnically Laverian surname, it's not even German.
>Could just save the world by himself and fix society easily, which would prove he is better than Reed, but doesn't...Sort of like how Lex Luthor could do way more than Superman for society if he'd just stop focusing on Superman all the time.
>>155438946Lex Luthor is fiction, anon. He can’t fix the world or the story will end.Dr. Doom, on the other hand, has no excuse. Nor does Reed Richards. Why is Reed still considered a hero, again?
>>155438667>von Doom is not an ethnically Laverian surname, it's not even German.'Von' just means 'of' or 'from'. So apparently there's a fictional place in Latveria or surrounding nations called 'Doom' which Doom's father's family was from.In real life the word is just Old English meaning 'judgement'. But since it's a 'von' it's definitely just a place in the comics.
>>155438599Wasn't it sort of a big part of his character that he is a petty bitch that cannot get over little things that would normally be beneath anyone else. Thanos is basically everything Doom pretends to be and wants to be but Doom self sabotages way more than Thanos ever has, and does it consciously. Same for High Evolutionary, he basically is everything Doom aspires to be.Even guys like Apocalypse and Sinister are doing a little better than Doom in the mad science/seizing the power of the gods shtick.
>>155438599>>for some reason picks fights with heroes like the fantastic four and spider-man>you guys don't actually believe this, do you?it was the cold war, when americans had to insistently pretend the soviets were just days away from invading Britain and nuking france at all times
>>155440372>Doom self sabotages way more than Thanos ever hasMy dude. They have both had ultimate omnipotence and then decided to fuck themselves over for no good reason. If anything, Thanos is more self-sabotaging because his entire fucking Infinity War iconic story resolves with his self-doubt explicitly being the reason for his losing. At least sometimes with Doom he's just beaten up by Ben or something, but with Thanos it's a premier part of his essential character.
