Dr. Victor Von Doom (commonly known as Doctor Doom, or simply Doom) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The son of a Romani witch, Von Doom has been depicted as a supervillain, the archenemy of the Fantastic Four, and the leader of the fictional nation called Latveria. While his chief opponents have been the Fantastic Four, he has also come into conflict with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, and multiple others. Von Doom has also been depicted as a superhero, being the third character to take up the mantle of Iron Man and joining the Avengers.

Von Doom has made many appearances in video games, television series, and merchandise such as action figures and trading cards. He was ranked as the 4th Greatest Villain by Wizard on its 101 Greatest Villains of All Time list. IGN’s list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Doctor Doom as #3.

Von Doom has also been featured in licensed feature films such as Roger Corman’s unreleased 1994 The Fantastic Four played by Joseph Culp, and the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer played by Julian McMahon.

As the leader of the Marvel Super Villains, Doctor Doom was to play a significant role in the Secret Wars comic series. Unfortunately, the action figure incarnation was much less popular than his comic counterpart. The Doctor Doom figure was to linger on shelves long after most of the other figures had been sold.However, this was the first time that Victor Von Doom was made into a figure. The sculpting was generally pretty good in faithfully recreating the character that many comic fans grew up knowing as one of the most fearsome villains in all the Marvel Universe. One notable omission is the absence of a cape. Although Doctor Doom is sculpted with a hood, his trademarked cloak is noticeably absent. This omission does detract from the overall presentation of the figure.

The mechanical-looking detail paint on the chest is easily worn off as is the belt buckle. Doctor Doom came with the standard double-barrel blaster pistol used with many of the figures of the Secret Wars line. Interestingly, Doom came with another weapon: a blaster rifle. This rifle was only found with the Doctor Doom figure. Considering the frequency with which the blaster pistol was re-used, it is unusual that the rifle was only used with this one figure. Doom had holes to clip these weapons on his legband and on his back.
