"America Is The Enemy" – One World Under Doom, Past, Present & Future

"America Is The Enemy" - One World Under Doom, Past, Present & Future with Captain America, Red Hulk and Superior Avengers (Spoilers)

Last Wednesday saw the publication of One World Under Doom #7 by Ryan North and R.B. Silva as well as Red Hulk #8 by Benjamin Percy and Geoff Shaw and Superior Avengers #6 by Steve Foxe, Luca Maresca and Kyle Hotz both tying into the One World Under Doom event slightly more than some of the other crossovers. Doom Academy and Doctor Strange Of Asgard, hold your heads in shame.

But we also saw Captain America #3 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti, not part of the crossover, but telling the story anew of Captain America's first encounter with Doctor Doom, now part of an American military force.

Doom of course knows his history and while Captain America lays out his aggression, Doom seeks to undercut it.

With the longstanding observation that the people of Latveria generally lobe and appreciate their dictator.

In One World Under Doom, Emperor Doom has made the whole world his Latveria, so when it is exposed that the population of Latveria are fuelling his magical powers, Matrix-style…

… well plenty of folk are just fine with it. It's all Latveria, right?

And as the remains of the armed forces take on Doom…

Over in Red Hood #8, Doctor Doom has been doing his own deals with members of the US Army.

While in Superior Avengers, Doom is finding his own weapons rather than waiting for others to develop them.

Taking them from those around him…

And bringing them to bear.

Even though he is just relying on himself when going up against Reed Richards…

The Red Hulk is also quite good at finding weapons too…

… you know, just lying around…

While in Captain America, years previously, Doctor Doom has a different take on the USA.

And he lays out Latveria's role amongst the Allies of World War II, previously undiscussed in the Marvel Universe.

And revealing something in the heart of Latveria that may have been unexpected.

A monument to Captain America and Bucky, just waiting for him to visit it. But also underlining how the USA had changed since the days of World War II…

So as Superior Avengers shows a future where Doom always reigned…

…Red Hulk shows us another American political monument being wielded as a weapon.

Can you believe they made him President of the United States in that film?
