Doctor Doom Is Merely Trying To Save The World From Itself
Victor Von Doom knows what every villain before him has known. The world cannot be left to its own devices. It needs a steady guiding hand otherwise it will implode. He’s not wrong. Global warming, so many political crises, wars, and the rampart destruction and exploitation of life and property proves Doom’s theory right – humanity will doom itself if not controlled.
There is indeed an issue in Marvel Comics where doom won and conquered the world. It was a total utopia where crime didn’t exist and peace and harmony were the only religion you needed. Had Doom had his way, the world would’ve been a better place to live in.
