Description
So, in the Fantastic Four 507 and 508 comics, Sue Storm gets possessed by Doctor Doom as he tries to pull himself out of hell. (Long story )
I'm just over here wondering why he would let go of having the strongest member of the FF's powers ontop of his own. Plus, this would totally be THE WAY to always piss off Reed Richards lol.
So here's my take on what Victor "moving in" to that body for keeps looks like.
All hail the new Queen of Latveria

The Fantastic Four approach Doom's castle, with the Thing and Human Torch flying in the front, followed by Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. Everything seems clear and quiet.
“This is going to be a piece of cake.” Torch says. The team could almost hear the exhausted expression forming on The Thing’s face, as if rocks were scraping against one another.
“Don't get too cocky, Johnny. This is Doom we're talkin' about.”
“Com’on Ben. Be positive.”
Mr. Fantastic hushes the group with a tempered response. “Everyone be on your guard. We don't know what kind of trap he's set for us.”
They near the entrance doors. The Invisible Woman is holding her palms at the ready if any constructs need be. She looks to her husband, “Reed, I still don't understand why Valeria wanted to visit him so badly. She was nearly begging to tagalong.”
He is calm. “Val’s always been fascinated by Doom, Sue. But we can't risk it. Not with the things he's capable of.”
“Yeah but this morning with Franklin and Valeria being…well..themselves..it did weird me out when the ‘Where’s Uncle Doom’ question was dropped.”
“Sue, I regret every day the memory of him tampering with Val’s birth. He had to have enchanted her, something. No one naturally flocks to him.”
Sue counters with “or maybe this is just normal parenting issues, not everything is laid at the feet of Victor von Doom. I just would like to avoid his name around the breakfast table.”
“Seconded.” Both Johnny and Ben say in tandem, eavesdropping.”
Suddenly, the castle gates open and Doom appears, standing on the ramparts. They can almost see him smiling under the metal mask.
“Welcome, Fantastic Four. I have been expecting you.”
The Fantastic Four are taken aback by Doom's hospitality, but they remain cautious.
You all came running at a simple silent alarm, adorable. Still, I need your help, Richards.” Doom pauses, the faux levity is gone. “I have a task for you, a heist of sorts.”
Reed raises a brow. “Heist? What kind of heist?”
“To steal my mother from hell. It is something that is long past needing resolved.”
Dr. Doom doesn’t admit he could never achieve it alone but only that it needs doing. He’s so somber, human. One shred of decency sort of thing.
Victor then posits the question to Reed to help build the rift to save Doom’s mother from damnation. Susan stabilizes the equipment as both men work and she aids in the fix. Johnny pulls Ben aside to tussle with Doombots because they are bored and it would help them not be completely overwhelmed if this somehow went sideways. Then have Victor skim his magical texts.
The machine is up and running, but Reed wants to do a safety trial to see if it maintains itself for an object going and coming through the rift. Doom says he has waited long enough to save the soul of his mother, no longer! My armor has been perfectly enchanted for such this task. Sue tries to explain how they can help, together. Victor counters, her seeing his sorrowful human eyes beneath his mask. He walks into it, she tries get through to him via shielding him in her powers.
We see into hell. The journey is ripping away at the magics and the bubble. Doom finds his mother on its fiery rim, they reunite somewhat and head to the gateway as the force wanes. She resents him for taking this long. The portal begins breaking down, mechanical error. Reed and Sue hurry to assess the problems but each fix causes new issues.
The tech mixed with magic bothers Reed. Johnny and Ben crush the last doom bot. They overhear the portal noises.
“Reed Richards! You have doomed us both!” Doom curses as the way back to the mortal realm shrivels. This was his one shot.
Doom’s mother lets out snide hate for Victor. Resents him. He is dejected but tries to double down on his vow. “Some man you are. Some king.”
“I will save you.” Left with no other option, Doom grabs at his heart through the armor and throws a green flash of soul energy from his body at the rift. The portal is the size of a hand and Doom’s astral self flings through. “It has taken years but I have amassed the knowledge and the-“
It quickly enters Sue as she is the closest to the gateway. “-strength” Doom overtakes her, rushing to enact the machinery in ways only he knows how to save both his mother and his own body.
“Interesting. My Doombots…destroyed. Susan will suffice.” But the rush of Sue’s potential is intoxicating. Her body ebbs in and out of visibility as a rippling wave of activity climbs up and down her form. Victor trying to handle the varied power set on the fly. His center of gravity was all off. These luxurious curves. These…assets. “An exquisite vessel..” Victor’s words are speaking in unison from Sue’s lips on this earthly plane and in the bowels of hell mutter like fleeting bits of wind from behind his charred metal mask. His mother notes an astral possession. “Quick thinking, child. Is the host worthwhile?”
“I knew we were a match. She is more powerful than I ever suspected.” Doom as Susan says in a calm tone.
“She?” His mother replies, bemused. Doom flexes the new womanly form turning it against the F4 to stop them from tampering, marveling at how “Susan really is the strongest of them all, and accomplishing these feats will be effortless with her cosmically gifted powers stacked atop my own mystic and technological acumen. I must have it.”
Cynthia von Doom, Victor’s mother, shrugs. “So be it. Finish what you started.” Victor begins working the rig with a set of summoned up constructs via her powers while in tandem using his/her other arm and reconstructing a few doombots.
Reed notices something is up. “Victor! Let go of my wife!” Reed screams, launching his daggered arms from a spring coil at this imposter. “After tasting such synchronization? Do not make me laugh.” Doom says. The gate isn’t responding to the codes, so Doom puts the powers to the test. Trying to use her abilities against the F4 quickly lessens the possession, beginning to phase and burn out Doom’s spell. Sue takes a bit of control as they trade positions. In hell, his corporeal body spasms, eyes fluttering as each bit wavers.
“Reed, he’s inside m-me.” Susan says starting to break free.
“R-rejecting my control.” Doom interjects, fighting for dominance. His voice is spoken across both voices and the thought of being trapped for eternity yet again...it brings a chill down his mother's spine.
“Not yet. Hold fast to your astral focus!” Cynthia shouts to her son's corpse.
The Fantastic Four engage Doom in a fierce second round. She uses both Susan's powers and her own magic to fight back, determined to keep her newfound power. The Fantastic Four, now aware of Doom's possession of Susan, work together to try and free her from his grasp. Reed works on a counter spell, while Johnny and Ben go on the offensive, trying to attack Doom and weaken his hold on Susan's body. However, Doom proves to be a formidable opponent, using both his own powers and Susan's to fend off the attacks.
“Release Susan!” Doom sees the anguish in Reed’s face, feels the power at his/her disposal, “it’s so close now.” The gateway slows and begins revering direction, reopening at a snails pace.
His mother sees the progress, and the battle on the other side of the basketball sized hole. It’s working. The F4 battle and land a few shots on Doom Sue, disrupting the new flow. Doom’s own eyes flicker, nearly awake in hell. “Take my armor. It will protect you.” Doom promises his mom.
“Root inward. Claim her.” Cynthia says back.
In a fleeting moment back with the Fantastic Four, Reed and Sue talk as she groggily shakes the possession. The portal continues to shrink. Victor’s vision is split between seeing from his own eyes and from Sue’s, something must be done. It’s now or never.
“She is mine!” Doom yells out, sending shockwaves across the floor as he rushes magic back into Sue’s body through the pinhole sized portal. The spell is a twist on the first attempt. Nearly twice the energy roots into her, the key life essence of Dr. Doom, injected into every orifice. Control tightens as within her as back with the armor, his original body loses its pinkish skin tone in favor of a washed out grey. The portal vanishes. In his cool rage, he tears the possession page from the book via an invisible construct then burns it in green flame.
Reed stands, hair whipping in the winds of powerful energy blasts and mystic force storms. “What are you doing, Victor?!”
“He’s…gnnn” The Invisible Woman doubles over in a slumped haze, shaking wildly as the page burns to ash, letting out breathy moans in faster and faster tempo. The battle rages on, with the Fantastic Four doing their best to break through Doom's castle defenses and reach Susan. Meanwhile, Doom continues to merge with Susan's memories and personality, rooting deeper and becoming more and more powerful with each passing moment. It is all building into a tantric white out of bliss, faster still.
Back in hell, his original body emulates the shift. From the moment the amplified spell began to take effect, Doom's body underwent a series of radical changes. At first, his skin began to soften and smooth out, losing the rough, leathery texture that had characterized his appearance for so long. His once-muscular frame oozes and shrinks to became more rounded and feminine, with delicate curves and a more graceful stance.
Through the mystical tether, Victor feels this sensational metamorphosis in perfect unison with the hyper stimulation of taking the blonde beauty’s body in the real world. Sue bucks, reacting with a coo of ecstasy.
Victor’s original body evolves further as he claims Sue’s essence. His hair grew longer, falling in soft waves down his back, and his face became more angular and delicate, with high cheekbones and a more refined jawline. He grunts, pushing in deeper, tightening the spell. Doom's hands and feet became smaller and more delicate, with elegant, tapered fingers and slender toes. The scars that had marred his face were smoothed away, revealing clear, unblemished skin. Doom’s vision is out of focus from sheer ecstasy as the final build peaks. He pushes an pushes until…bedrock. He becomes the core foundation.
Suddenly, she gasps, twisting round in a violent whirl before going silent. She rests right in time with the complete incineration of the page. Her original male body, now a doppelganger of Sue, crumbles to ash.
The act seals Doctor Doom’s soul in this new vessel permanently. All while Sue Storm’s soul is consumed, swallowed whole and her interests and passions are incorporated into his own, changing the once male Latverian dictator comfortably into her final form—Victoria.
As the battle reaches its climax, Doom unleashes a massive wave of energy, engulfing the Fantastic Four in a blinding light. When the light fades, they find themselves surrounded by the Doombots and Victoria von Doom.
“Ah.” She puffs. “That’s better.” Her hands explore her body joyously. Her legs. Her thighs. Breasts. And a beautiful face. “All mine.” Perfect. She feels exquisite. She quickly recalls her two children Franklin and Valeria, amused that now she has the memory of both having her daughter as Susan and delivering her as Doom, one of the few uneasy favors he once did for the Fantastic Family. Her marriage to Reed Richards clashes with their eternal feud as archenemies. All of the love, the hate, the history. What an interesting cocktail to explore. Yet. This wasn’t the time.
The Fantastic Four knew they had to act fast. They work together to find a way to defeat Victoria von Doom and free Susan, something in this castle had to work. Unfortunately the defenses were relentless, blocking the way. Reed remembers the book, of course, that had to be the only way to break the possession was to destroy the conduit that was his wife and archenemy together.
Ben follows Reed’s eyeline, noting the spellbook. “I'll do it. I'll be the one to destroy the damn thing.
Reed is deathly serious. “Are you sure, Ben? This could be dangerous. Disastrous.”
The orange golem of a man is resolute. “I'll do whatever it takes to save Suzy.”
Reed nods.
The team agreed and work together to create a plan. They ambush Victoria von Doom while she is distracted, Johnny firing off flames and Ben charging at her with all his strength. The impact was intense, and in the chaos the three are successful. The ancient tome was destroyed. Torch hits the ground with a thud and is knocked out of his Flame On mode. The Thing is embedded into the side of the castle and begins to shuffle his way out from under the crumbling crater.
But, in the middle of the courtyard, Susan stands up from the smoke and rubble. “Oh, thank goodness. I'm back.”
Reed stretches over and holds her. “Are you okay, Sue?”
“I'm fine,” She says through a tearful smile, “I—" Sue begins to laugh, then it changes into a darkly cruel cackle. She lifts her head from the feigned daze. “I can't believe you all. Sorry about that honey.” With a flick of her wrist, she opens a new hell rift from the sheer force of will of her amplified abilities.
“How are —what are you doing dear?” Reed says, hoping beyond hope this is his wife and she is okay. Through the new attempt the shambling form of Doom armored hide fumbles across the plane smoking and sizzling, notably not fitting quite right to the wearer.
“Saving my mother. Righting a wrong.” Victoria says, extremely focused on fending off hellfire escaping from the rift.
“Victor.” Mr. Fantastic clenched his jaw searching for a solution.
Johnny reignites. “Not for long! I’ve had enough of this guy!
Victoria bats the fireballs away with invisible deflectors. “Please, you're all still so naive. I've been preparing for this moment for years, building a system of defenses, dark arts, and doombots to fight the energies of hell. You think a little fire could stop me before?”
Ben grits his teeth and starts swinging at the villainess, “I'll take you down, I don't care how tough you think you are.” She side steps him and vanishes. Her voice encircles the three of them, there is a vile smile inside the tone.
“Imbeciles! I have the power of the strongest member of your group, coupled with my own. You don't stand a chance." She slows her speech to a threatening crawl. "Surrender now, and I will spare your lives.”
With that ultimatum, Victoria reappears.
Nearby, the metal face of Doom’s armor clangs to the ground, revealing his mother had slipped on the enchanted gear set to make her voyage out of hell. She breathes air for the first time in what feels like eons. In. Out. No twinge of sulfur or scalding inward burns. “I— Expertly done.” She hugs the former Susan Storm, now her newly made daughter Victoria.
Gently in her palm Doom’s mother holds Victoria’s cheek, scanning the familiar look in these crystal blue eyes. Her son’s determination and guile. “You look very adept dear, a fine choice.”
Doom smiles. It feels outstanding. The sync between the mystical and the cosmic rays is one thing but Susan is a spectacular woman and Victoria desperately wants to break in her new figure. “Latveria has been kind to me, I cannot wait to show you how it’s grown in your years away. But first let me introduce you to my, mhmmm, my husband.” Reed’s eyes widen in horror.
“I have all of your history, our history, right in here.” Taps side of her head. “It is nuanced.”
With a twist of her hand the would-be Invisible Woman pulls the armor from her mother’s figure and onto her own over top of the blue uniform, save the chest and face plates, returning as best she could to the role of Dr. Doom while emphasizing her new assets proudly. “Richards.” It comes out exactly as Doom has always said it, like a slap to the face. The blonde woman takes a beat and smiles rather kindly and grips his hand. “I mean, Reed. My mother, Cynthia von Doom.” Mr. Fantastic recoils at her touch. “You—you stole her life. Our life together. I- Victor why?”
“What’s done is done. You should be grateful that I have been kind so far.” She says coldly. “I will see you all come Christmas time. Brings the kids.”

As the days went on, Victoria's first order of business was to bring the kingdom of Latveria under her control, solidifying her rule as its monarch. Death to Doom. Long Live Doom. From there, she set her sights on the rest of the world. With her army of Doombots and her mastery of magic, she began to take on the world's most powerful heroes and villains, striking alliances and making deals where it suited her. She worked to eliminate any threats to her rule and to extend her reach, using her vast resources and cunning to bend others to her will. Despite her ruthless tactics and the fear she inspired, some heroes still saw hope in stopping her. A team of the world's most powerful heroes, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the X-Men, banded together to take her down. The two sides clashed in a massive battle, with Victoria unleashing all of her power against the heroes. Despite their best efforts, the heroes were no match for Victoria. She successfully created a border around Latveria the likes of which would never be broken unless she saw fit.
Yet, as Doom continued to rule Latveria with an iron fist, she found herself plagued by the urges of the body she now inhabited. Something felt…hollow. She had her new womanhood that yearned to be filled. Despite her best efforts to resist these carnal desires, she found herself drawn to the powerful and charismatic Namor, the Submariner. He was nothing more than a booty call for the dictator, but he was serviceable.
Namor, believing that the woman he was sleeping with was merely Susan Storm acting out, was unaware of the true nature of the entity inside her body. He thought she was in a spat with her husband and vacationing overseas. But for Victoria, the passion she felt was something new and completely unexpected. It scratched a deep void she had thought long gone, and for the first time, she truly felt like a woman. But it wasn’t enough.
News of Victoria's affair with Namor spread like wildfire, and Reed Richards was heartbroken. It was as if Susan was cheating on him, and the memory of their former love was a constant reminder of what he had lost. But things took a turn for the worse when Victoria divorced Reed and took their daughter, Valeria, to live with her in Latveria.
Victoria saw young Valeria as the heir to her throne and sought to train her in the ways of Doom, teaching her everything she knew about science, magic, and how to rule with an iron fist. Under Victoria's tutelage, Valeria grew to be a brilliant and formidable young woman in just a handful of months, fully committed to the cause of Doom.
Reed was heartbroken to lose both his wife and daughter, but he refused to give up. He continued to search for a way to defeat Doom and restore Susan to her former self. He poured all of his time and energy into finding a solution, even as the rest of Europe fell under Victoria's rule.
Despite his best efforts, Reed was unable to make any progress, and Victoria remained as powerful as ever. The Fantastic Four, now reduced to just three members, were forced to operate in secret, launching small-scale attacks on Victoria's forces over the ticking weeks and trying to gather intelligence that could help in their fight. But it seemed like the battle was a losing one, and the future looked bleak for the heroes. Meanwhile, Valeria continued to learn the ways of Doom, becoming more and more like her ‘mother’ with each passing day. Despite the odds stacked against him, Reed refused to give up. He knew that somewhere inside the body of Victoria von Doom was the woman he loved, and he was determined to find a way to bring her back. Even in his quiet moments he always calls the dictator “Susan”, knowing the truth but hoping for a miracle. He continued to search for a solution, even as the world around him changed and the forces of Doom grew stronger.
Suddenly, on the sixth month since losing Sue, a single highly-encrypted silent alert. A message, from …her. Doom had summoned him. Reed exhales, sitting alone in the Baxter Building penthouse, and stands up.
When he arrived in Latveria, she was waiting for him in her private chambers, dressed in a black and silver gown that accentuated her staggering curves. She was oiled and glistening in the amber setting sun of her nation-state.
"Do you still want this body, even if the woman you love is long gone?" she asked with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic glint.
Reed looked at her, his heart heavy with sorrow. She had made the face of his beloved ...cruel. Despite everything, he could not deny his feelings for her.
"Yes," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion.
She drops the dress to the floor, letting her ex-husband see her divine majesty.
“Exquisite.” With a triumphant smile, Doom approached Reed and took him into her arms, kissing him deeply. The kiss was soft and gentle, but filled with a deep yearning that Reed could feel all the way down to his soul. The two former enemies were now locked in a passionate embrace, their bodies entwined.
In the aftermath of their extended and vigorous lovemaking, Doom lay beside Reed, feeling a deeply troubling victory. She had succeeded in punishing Reed, but the victory was bittersweet. It felt good. Too good. Better than it ever should have. Despite the satisfying physical release, she could not shake the feeling that this was the something vital had been missing. This felt familiar.
“Damn you, Richards.” Victoria says it tenderly, betraying her embarrassment. In this moment she nearly resembled Sue with her body language. “I plan to see you here on my beck and call, a Doombot will give you a teleport platform on the way out. And… I will share the visiting hours with our kids on weekends.”
As she looked into Reed's eyes, he realized that the woman he loved was truly gone, and that the body she was now in would always belong to Doom but there was still something here, some spark of an old life. But that would never be enough. He stood to leave. "Good evening, Susan", from this day Reed would only use that name these hallowed bedchambers and the haughty villainess was unable to resist the muscle memory that took over her as they continued their forbidden love affair.
“It’s Victoria.” She says quietly, watching Reed depart home using the blue hologram squared time platform. The spell remained intact, and the two enemies remained locked in a complex and troubling relationship, unable to escape the pull of their deep and conflicting emotions.
