Most Marvel villains would be terrified at the sight of Doctor Doom<\/a>‘s most brutal feat. On one end of the villain spectrum are antagonists whose self-serving actions are born from complex motivations, like Magneto. On the other end lie the true embodiments of unfiltered evil, like Mephisto and Green Goblin.<\/p>\n

Standing at the apex of this hierarchy is Doctor Doom, Marvel\u2019s most famous and iconic villain<\/a>. Victor von Doom commands respect through a sophisticated veneer of authority and intellectual brilliance. Unlike many of his peers, Doom rarely appears visually evil in a traditional sense. Doom doesn’t cackle at suffering or delight in random destruction. However, his restraint makes his brand of villainy even more dangerous.<\/p>\n

Doctor Doom’s Most Brutal Armor Is Literally His Dead Girlfriend<\/p>\n

\n Doctor Doom wears his ex girlfriend’s skin as leather armor<\/p>\n

In the 2003 Fantastic Four storyline “Unthinkable,” Victor von Doom decides that his scientific genius is no longer enough. Doom seeks to master the mystic arts and turns to a trio of demons known as the Haazareth Three. The demons demand a sacrifice, and Doom complies. Doctor Doom tracks down his ex-girlfriend Valeria and murders her as a ritualistic offering.<\/p>\n

The demons accept the soul of his beloved and, in a gruesome display of supernatural craftsmanship, fashion her remains into a new suit of armor. Doom then wears this mystical leather armor made from Valeria\u2019s actual skin. Doom gains immense magical capabilities that allow him to cast physics-defying spells that match the power of the Fantastic Four\u2019s greatest strengths.<\/p>\n

Valeria’s death represents the total desecration of the final traces of Doctor Doom’s humanity. While Doom often views himself as a noble leader<\/a>, this act strips away the honor he usually claims to possess. Turning the woman he loves into a literal tool is a step too far, even for Doctor Doom. Beneath the regal cape and the metal mask lies a man willing to commit the unthinkable to prove he is superior to everyone else.<\/p>\n

Doctor Doom Is An Inexcusable Villain, Regardless Of How Charismatic He May Be<\/p>\n

Victor Von Doom Will Never Be Redeemed<\/p>\n

Doctor Doom often tries to paint his evil deeds as the harsh but noble actions of a wise hero. But while his unwavering confidence is captivating, it only serves as a sophisticated mask for a deeply narcissistic monster. Doom’s heroic posturing for integrity has nothing to do with seeking a better the world for others. Rather, he seeks only to prove his own superiority.<\/p>\n

The noble dictator myth falls apart pretty quickly. Although Doctor Doom has a soft spot for his goddaughter Valeria Richards<\/a>, there’s no sliver of kindness in his heart. Doom’s ambition outweighs any shred of human empathy. Crafting armor from his ex-girlfriend’s skin is a level of depravity that no amount of diplomatic immunity or orderly Latverian streets can justify. Few villains are willing to do anything remotely similar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most Marvel villains would be terrified at the sight of Doctor Doom‘s most brutal feat.
