Doctor Doom’s comics legacy is so much bigger than his Iron Man connections

Marvel’s plan to introduce Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom could be a stroke of genius or a monumental misfire.

As San Diego Comic-Con attendees roared at the announcement of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the 59-year-old actor assured his fans that while he’ll be wearing a new mask in Avengers: Doomsday, his larger task would largely be the same. It was an interesting choice of words to describe Marvel’s new plan to introduce Victor von Doom with a twist, just as a fresh version of the Fantastic Four is scheduled to make its big screen debut.

That sense of animosity could also be felt in moments like the complicated birth of Valeria Richards — Reed and Sue Storm’s daughter whose delivery required Doom’s assistance and his becoming her godfather — and it has continued to keep the Fantastic Four’s family dynamic interesting in more recent years.
