Doctor Doom

Victor von Doom was a poor gypsy boy growing up in the poor country, Latveria. After his parents died, Doom came to the USA to become the vain, psychotic, genious he is today. While working on a lab experiment with Reed Richards, Reed pointed out an error Doom had made. Doom was ignorant to the fact that he could make such an error, and proceeded with the experiment. Reed was right about the error and it blew up in Doom's face, leaving facial scars.

Doom later left America, and returned to Latveria. Once there, he killed the former ruler of the nation and took the role as dictator for himself. Doom was dispised by his people, and they sent numerous assasins to eliminate him. This prompted Doom to create his guards, the Doombots.

With new resources at his disposle, Doom created an invicible armor to hide his hideous facial scars. Doom then attempted to launch an attack on the Fantastic Four many times, due to Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) being the team's leader. Each time he failed. Dr. Doom has also attempted several times to steal the powers of the Silver Surfer. Each time, the Fantastic Four have been able to defeat him and return the power to it's rightful owner.

Doom is not just and enemy of the Fantastic Four. In fact, he is often considered to be Marvel enemy number one. Thus, he has had battles against several other heroes including Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Storm, the Lizard, Black Cat, and Spider-Man. He at two points attempted to destroy Hulk, both times failed.

Doom also was a major player in the Secret Wars. In this event he, along with Red Skull, Smythe, Doc Ock, and Lizard, were transpored to Battleworld by the Beyonder to test Spider-Man. Spider-Man sought out the aid of many superheroes against Doom. At first, Doom seemed to be a kind ruler of the land he aquired, seeking only to make his people happy. He used the technology to cure his facial scarring and Ben Grimm's rock case of the Thing.

Doom later took a more villainous role. He took the power of the Beyonde, and used them for personal gain. The superheroes battled Doom and defeated him. This marked Doom's last appearance in the Marvel Animated Universe.
