VICTOR VON DOOM AKA DR. DOOM Monarch of Latveria PB: Michael Fassbender Friend of Namor | Victor Von Doom was born of the Latverian Romani, colloquially known as the "gypsies". Growing up, he lived a life of relative poverty, and was orphaned at an early age, something Victor refused to allow. He devoted his time and energy into researching both mystical and scientific arts as a way to resurrect his mother. His obsessive pursuit honed his intellect, which flourished to nearly unparalleled genius. When the time came to apply for college, Doom sent out numerous applications. All of them were picked up, but Victor chose to go to school in America, where he crossed paths with Reed Richards. The two became dorm roommates, and immediately took a negative opinion of the other. Each found the other off-putting and arrogant. Leaving college early due to an "unethical" experiments, Doom traveled the world for a time before he came into contact with Tibetan Monks who helped him develop mystically attuned armor. Using the armor, he marched upon Latveria and took over his home country, becoming it's King, or dictator, depending on who you ask. In the time since, he's met Reed Richards several times over, and even done battle with his former roommate, furthering his contempt for the man. He's since met Namor, King of Atlantis. Despite their rather tumultuous relationship (each has betrayed the other when it suits them politically), the two are good friends. Each numbers among the few the other genuinely respects. |
