General:
Born in the tiny
European nation Latveria, Victor Von Doom grew up the son of a peasant
farmer and a gypsy mother. Victor possessed a great intellect, though,
and earned a scholarship to a prestigious American university. There, he
met his intellectual equal in Reed Richards (who would later go on to become
Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four). Always trying to outdo Richards,
Victor began secretly experimenting with black magic. In one of his attempts
to fuse science and magic, one of his devices exploded, and Victor's face
was horribly scarred. He was expelled from the university and sent back
home to Latveria. Victor did not care, though, as he had now set his sights
on world domination. Donning a sophisticated robotic suit with a metallic
mask to hide his scarred visage, Victor became Dr. Doom. Using the mighty
weapons at his disposal, Dr. Doom conquered Latveria and then made several
attempts to take the world. His quest for power knows no end, and he is
now attempting to capture the mighty Infinity Gauntlet, currently in the
possession of Thanos.

Comment:
C'mon... He's "Dr.
Doom" afterall... Certainly one of the baddest and most well known Marvel
villains of all time. His appearance and style has always managed to stand
out in the Marvel world, and his fighting game transformation was flawless.
Capcom brilliantly captured many of his sinister mannerisms and moves!
But why, ohh why, did they make him SO laughable and pathetic in the Fantastic
4 movie?
