Fukk your corny debates
Jonathan Hickman is doing him justice.I don't know, man. I actually think Doom hasn't been written about enough when it comes to being one of the top tier villains. I'm just glad they got him away from being mostly connected with the Reed bytchards and the Craptastic Four.
As far as over exaggerations and inconsistencies, and being the Superman of villains, just look at Apocalypse.
Before I get negged to Bolivia, I like Apocalypse, but dude can be a confusing Time traveling mess. One day he has the power of a God and the next day he's getting sonned by two Xmen.
I'd like to see Doom done right in the movies. Imagine if Marvel had the rights, you could have all this going on with Avengers, Guardians, Thor, Dr. Strange, and Black Panther and Doom could have his finger in each movie manipulating shyt.
Even Bendis wrote him well in The Siege prelude. That was vintage Doom. Norman Osborn was the top cop in the nation and had the Sentry in his pocket so he thought he could talk to Doom like a peer or equal. Doom was like "What...you??? " Then proceeded to attack him in his home then threaten his son.
He's a true master villain because he fears no one and doesn't view any living being to be on his level...not even gods.
He always seemed to have a grudging respect for Magneto though, if you can call it that. He doesn't talk to him like he's a peon at least like he does everyone else. Maybe because they're both eastern Europeans who started from the bottom in oppressed social classes who ended up being bosses. And they both hate Nazis for obvious reasons.
Namor too...maybe because his arrogance rivals Doom's.
