Biography
Victor von Doom was born to Cynthia von Doom, a witch who was killed in a dealing with the demon Mephisto gone wrong, and Werner von Doom, a gypsy healer who died from exposure. Raised by wandering gypsies, Doom dedicated his life to mastering all the sciences and the art of sorcery, but with intelligence came for him great arrogance. When reputation of his genius reached the United States, Doom was offered a scholarship at Empire State University. Taking an instant disliking to Reed Richards because he found a rival to his intellect within him, Doom scoffed at Richards when he pointed out a flaw in a machine he created to allow the user to project his mind into other dimensions. Doom's vanity got the better of him in the end, as the machine's imperfection caused it to explode, horribly scarring Doom and causing him to be expelled from the university. For a time Doom wandered the world. By the time Doom reached Tibet, he dominated an order of monks and forced them to mystically forge for him a full-body suit of titanium armor. After returning to his homeland of Latveria, Doom usurped the throne from the monarch and made himself dictator and absolute ruler. Now, all Doctor Doom desires is the total conquest of the world, for he believed that he would be better than anyone to rule it. Fortunately, Doom has been consistently thwarted by superheroes like the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, much to his chagrin. As the Latverian ambassador in the United Nations, Doctor Doom has diplomatic immunity in America, preventing him from being arrested by the country's authorities
