I missed the issue where Doom first showed up in Savage Avengers but when he started popping up on the covers I made sure to have Savage Avengers on my increasingly shorter pull list. Stephen and Victor are really a good team in this with a good measure of mutual respect.
I checked on Dimitri Fortunov's wiki and I see he was in issues 63-64 of the X-Force series from the 1990s. That appears to be his only major appearance. I remember when I returned to comics after a long hiatus I started looking up the Doom appearances. I recall picking up this in a back issue bin and it does have to do with the old Liddleville tech, which somehow was moved from the old castle in upstate New York to the catacombs of Doom's castle in Latveria. IIRC he used to trap people trying to sneak in the castle that way. I will have to look up those issues on Marvel Unlimited if they are there. I'm not sure if I kept those comics and I have a ton of things boxed up. I'm curious about Fortunov now because I don't remember much about his role in the story.
Another thing, that ninja woman that attacked Victorious? She is called Guillotine and is a character from one of the recent video games, I think Contest of Champions. I wiki'ed her too. So yeah, he's really digging things up. I wish Bendis had been more adventurous with his choice in cast in Infamous Iron Man.
I sure would like an update on Amara but it could be one of those things where Marvel deliberately lets it go and hopes readers forget about it.
