Doctor Doom Right To Condemn All Marvel Heroes (One World Spoilers)

Is Doctor Doom right to condemn all Marvel Comics superheroes? I mean, probably... (One World Under Doom #6 Spoilers)

It's Doctor Doom versus Reed Richards in One World Under Doom #6 by Ryan North and R.B. Silva, out today, but rather than a battle of fists, or science, or even magic, it's words. Well, to be fair, you can't spell without them…

That is until Doctor Doom mentions a name that always comes up in debates. No, not Adolf Hitler, the other one.

Winston Churchill, the knowledge of the Pearl Harbour attack, and the conspiracy theory about the deliberate withholding of information, for the greater good. Though GCHQ says, "The strategic situation in the Far East was such that war with Japan had become more likely. Rumours of a Japanese attack in South East Asia had been reported from Bletchley Park some days before the actual attacks, and, ironically, the report had been shared with US intelligence, but the report was vague and assumed that the Japanese would invade Thailand."

Doctor Doom's opinions about Adolf Hitler and those who defeated him also pop up in today's Captain America #2 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti, looking at an early mission after coming out of the ice to depose Victor Von Doom from Latveria, with an unexpected reception.

But it is Captain America's fellow Avengers that Doctor Doom is taking to task, amongst others… such as Iron Man, who could save the world, but does not.

Hank Pym, the same. The Villain doesn't so much have a point, as spells out the unsaid truth of the Marvel Universe.

Wakandans and X-Men as well, including the Arakko days of the Age Of Krakoa…

As well as the whole Krakoan situation itself. But is that fair?

I mean, they did bring Captain America back, and offered resurrection to the poorest and most vulnerable humans as well, alongside medicine that extended lifespan, cured cancer and dementia. But while Doctor Doom may not be bothered too much by all the facts…

…in principle, he is utterly right. The superheroes of the Marvel Universe have such powers that, Miracleman-style, they could change the world for the better. But don't. And Doctor Doom did, bringing in universal healthcare, education, open borders and peace. And he appears to be winning.

But the heroes appear to have a gotcha moment coming.

Invading Latveria itself through invisibility, magic and stealth, and discovering just how Doom is wielding so much magical power.

Matrix-style, he is taking them from the very people of Latveria, whose interests he has always fought to protect, and using them to fuel his world domination. Does this defeat Doctor Doom?

No, he doubles down. But as modern-day America knows, you can do almost anything to adults and people will accept it if they are getting free stuff. But maybe, just maybe, there's a line you don't cross.

Doctor Doom and Jeffrey Epstein, folks. While in other One World Under Doom news today, Superior Avengers has one lover's tiff turn into a Doctor Doom attention grab…

And Red Hulk, which seemed to be moving away from One World Under Doom in recent issues…

…heads right back into it.
