This is a post I've been meaning to make for a while, but I was waiting on getting hold of some comics, and also, Marvel has been keeping this comm busy with a flood of high quality Doom appearances. (Long may it continue!) But now I've had the chance to get my scans together, I present a little bit of a Marvel universe history lesson.



Doom's origin is sadly not as well known as it could be, since adaptations like the movies and the Ultimate comics have a bad tendency to chop the whole thing out to avoid bringing magic into the story. That really does his character a great disservice, since not only is magic an important part of Doom's powerset, but it's his backstory that makes it so impressive and even semi-sympathetic that he became the supervillain we know today.
