Article Summary

  • New Ultimates #4 cover suggests deeper connections between Robert Downey Jr. and Doctor Doom's role in Doomsday.
  • Deniz Camp hints at the significance of Ultimates #4 for understanding Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
  • Cover art reveals Doctor Doom as The Maker, pointing to an intriguing twist involving Ultimate Reed Richards.
  • Explorations of Doom's experiments with replicating the Fantastic Four heightens anticipation for the comic's release.

The hype for The Ultimates #4 for the 4th of September and what it will mean for Robert Downey Jr playing Doctor Doom in the next Avengers movie, renamed Doomsday, continues. Previously, writer  Deniz Camp stated, "If you want to understand Robert Downey Jr. as Doom, you MUST read The Ultimates #4 on Sept 4th. (or whenever it comes out)". And now the previously hidden variant cover to the comic in question by Francesco Mobili has been posted, and it seems rather… revelatory. What do you think?

Featuring Doctor Doom lifting back a disguise as The Maker, the Ultimate Reed Richards. Maybe, it could well be symbolic. The Ultimates is part of the Ultimate line from Marvel Comics, that reimagines a Marvel universe if an evil version of Mister Fantastic from another universe had messed about with time and denied it of superheroes. And had taken that universe's version of Reed Richards, imprisoned him and turned him into Doctor Doom. We have seen, though, that this Doom has been experimenting with creating a Fantastic Four, using mice. And they seem to appear on the main cover of The Ultimates #4.

Marvel Writer Will Explain Robert Doney Jr as Doctor Doom in September
