Hidden Xavier Secret At The Heart Of Doctor Doom's Dungeon (Spoilers)

Published Wed, 14 Jan 2026 08:59:09 -0600

Today sees the launch of Dungeons Of Doom #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy, Carlos Magno, Robert Gill, from Marvel Comics, following on from One World Under Doom and The Will Of Doom. With Doctor Doom departed from life, and Valeria Von Doom-Richards his sole heir, it seems that neither the US army, Latverian rebels, nor Hydra seem to want to respect such a transfer of ownership.

Quite a time for Marvel to be publishing a comic book about an uprising in a country, with US involvement and military crackdowns. But if it wasn't Iran, it would probably have been something else that would resonate almost as much…

And that's when soldiers uncover something underneath Doom Castle. A clockwork Frankenstein of a horror show.

With an eviscerated corpse, disembodied limbs and mechanical timepieces everywhere. And a message from Professor X. Whatever it is, that's never going to be good.

Accordingto upcoming solicits, his name is Whisper, a mutant creature so dangerous, even Charles Xavier knew it could never be set free. But, presumably, is just about to be. And talking of whispers, the Hydra soldiers also raiding the dungeons can hear something.

This looks like it will be the Hammer Of Treachery. Something most Hydra soldiers are more than able to wield in the right circumstances, such as these ones. And The Eye of Khonshu and the Skull Shaped Herb are yet to be found… Dungeons Of Doom #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy, Carlos Magno, Robert Gill is published by Marvel Comics today.
