Avengers Doomsday: 5 Comic Moments Anticipated To Feature in the Movie
Avengers Doomsday aims to bring thrilling comic book events to the big screen. Here are five comic scenes that fans eagerly await!
Marvel Studios is taking a bold step by casting Robert Downey Jr., known for his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man, as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers films. This choice has generated significant controversy due to the stark contrast between Downey's previous character and Doom.
To make this new Doctor Doom as impactful as Iron Man, Marvel Studios will need to carefully adapt key elements from the comics. The film should capture Doom's complex personality, brilliant intellect, tragic backstory, and commanding presence.
To stay true to the character, Doom must retain his mysterious and confident demeanor. If these elements are successfully integrated, the film could offer a nuanced portrayal that resonates with fans while honoring Doctor Doom's comic book legacy. Done right, this adaptation has the potential to redefine Doctor Doom for a new generation while respecting his rich history.
Diabolical Schemes
Doctor Doom is an expert at complex schemes, always plotting from his home in Latveria. His plans are frequently so complex that heroes only discover what is going on when it is too late. One notable example is his shady deal with Mephisto. In the graphic novel Doctor Strange/Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment, Doom tricked Doctor Strange into assisting him in rescuing his mother's soul from Hell.
In the end, Doom trades his own soul to Mephisto, demonstrating how far he will go to achieve his goals. However, Doom's most impressive plan was to save the Multiverse from the Beyonders, powerful beings bent on destroying everything.
Before the events of Secret Wars in 2015, Doom's goal for the Multiverse was to change it, not just preserve it. In Battleworld, a new reality he created by fusing fragments of other worlds, he briefly ruled over all existence.
Despite his initial success, Doom's reign was brief, ending when he was defeated by his greatest adversary, Reed Richards. Doom is one of the most dangerous villains, thanks to his intricate plans and unwavering ambition. He will go to extraordinary lengths to gain control and power.
The Mask
Doctor Doom’s mask, designed by the iconic Jack Kirby, is one of the most memorable and menacing images in comics. Although its design might seem simple, capturing its essence on screen has been a challenge for past Fantastic Four films.
The recent Marvel Studios reveal suggests a promising approach to Doctor Doom's appearance. The mask's design, with its unique alignment of plates and jaw, is difficult to render in three dimensions, but it remains an important part of Doom's iconic appearance when combined with his green cloak.
For Doom, the mask is more than just armor; it represents his true identity. After a failed experiment leaves him scarred, Doom donates the red-hot mask right after it is forged, symbolizing his rejection of his former self and vanity.
Sorcery and Superscience
Doctor Doom is often regarded as more intelligent than Reed Richards due to his proficiency in both technology and magic. While Richards is a genius in science, Doom excels in the mystical arts, which Richards struggles with. Doom has created advanced technology, such as a machine that steals the Silver Surfer's powers, as well as time travel technology that Kang the Conqueror uses. His magical abilities are so advanced that he persuades Doctor Strange to relinquish his title as Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.
Doom's mastery of magic demonstrates his exceptional intelligence. Unlike Richards, Doom combines magic and science. His magical abilities are so advanced that he persuades Doctor Strange to give up the title and become the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.
The 'Under the Skin/Unthinkable' storyline from the Fantastic Four comics delves into Doom's darker side. A chilling flashback reveals that Doom sacrificed his childhood sweetheart, transforming her into cursed magical armor.
The Rivalry with Reed Richards
In college, Victor Von Doom developed a strong animosity toward Reed Richards. They were both excellent students pursuing advanced science degrees. In an attempt to make contact with his mother's ghost, Doom constructed a machine.
Doctor Doom, formerly Victor Von Doom, was a brilliant scientist who committed a critical calculation error. When Reed Richards pointed out the error, Doom ignored him, resulting in a catastrophic explosion that left a bruise and a small scar on his face.
This incident prompted Doom's return to Latveria, where he adopted the name Doctor Doom. His rage and desire for vengeance against Richards and the Marvel Universe grew out of this personal humiliation.
Gravitas
Gravitas, the powerful presence and seriousness that make Doctor Doom a truly terrifying character in the Marvel Universe, is what distinguishes him from the others. Doom, the ruler of Latveria, inspires fear and reverence with his brutal commands and ingrained arrogance.
This was demonstrated in the 2015 Secret Wars event, when he rescued the Multiverse from the Beyonders, demonstrating that his menacing authority extends to cosmic beings.
Compared to Tony Stark, Doom's charm is colder and more manipulative. He once persuaded Stephen Strange to step down as Sorcerer Supreme, claiming that he was better suited to protect Earth from magical threats.
