Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo brothers are bringing Doctor Doom back to the forefront! Marvel's upcoming storyline, "One World Under Doom," promises a prolonged era of Doom's reign, akin to "Dark Reign," rather than a short-lived event. This means the Marvel Universe will continue throughout most of 2025, but under Doom's iron fist as World Emperor, Sorcerer Supreme, and leader of the Superior Avengers.
Predictably, the Superior Avengers will feature villains, but with a twist. Familiar names will belong to new characters:
- Abomination: Kristoff, Doom's adopted son and Reed Richards' half-brother.
- Dr. Octopus: A new, unnamed woman.
- Ghost: A nameless woman, similar to the one in Ant-Man.
- Killmonger: A reimagined portrayal.
- Malekith: The Black Elves remain on Earth.
- Onslaught: A significant addition to the team.
The six-issue Superior Avengers miniseries, written by Steve Fox and illustrated by Luca Maresca, launches in April.
This concept isn't entirely new. Previous Marvel storylines, such as "Dark Avengers" and "Secret Empire," featured villainous Avenger teams.
But how did Doom achieve this level of power? This guide explores the key events leading to "One World Under Doom":
Emperor Doom
While not the first instance of Doom's global dominance, the 1987 graphic novel Emperor Doom effectively portrays a world ruled by him.
President Doom 2099
In Doom 2099, a future Doom nearly conquers America, showcasing his ambition and unique perspective.
Secret Wars
Doom's role in Secret Wars (2015) highlights his relentless pursuit of power and immortality, even if his methods are questionable.
Blood Hunt
The 2024 Blood Hunt event is crucial. Doctor Strange enlists Doom to combat a vampire invasion, resulting in Doom retaining the title of Sorcerer Supreme.
As we anticipate the Russo/Downey Jr. collaboration, let's prepare for a world under the absolute control of Doctor Doom.
