Background
Victor von Doom was born in a Romani camp outside Haasenstadt, Latveria. His mother, Cynthia, was killed in a bargain with Mephisto that went wrong. Doom sought to increase his knowledge of both science and magic in order to rescue his mother, whose death he blamed on Mephisto.
Victor then spent his years mastering the arts of both science and sorcery. One night, while Victor slept, he was visited by the 6th century mystic known as Morgan le Fay. Le Fay had travelled to this era to get revenge against Victor's future self who had wronged her, but before she could kill young Victor she decided against it, wanting his future self to know why he was being punished and also to prevent the potential of altering history in a way that would ill benefit her. Eventually, Victor became a master of both science and magic and vowed to use these skill to become master of the world.
Eventually, stories of Victor's scientific prowess reached the United States. Original accounts state that and a scout from State University and offered him a scholarship . However it has since been revealed that the man seeking Victor out was from the United States Army who sought to recruit Victor's talents before he was tapped by foreign nations that were hostile to the United States at the time. Victor was offered a full scholarship at State University on top of being using his skills to develop new weapons for the United States. Victor accepted the offer seeing this as a new challenge, but also as a means to escape what his life had become in Latveria.
He traveled to the United States to study, where he met Reed Richards and immediately disliked him. One day, Reed happened upon Doom's notes for his device to contact his mother. In most accounts it is said that Richards found that some of his calculations were off. However when Doom caught Richards looking at his notes, his pride, ego and anger prevented him from listening to Richard's warnings and he continued on with the experiment. However more recent accounts state that Richards was unable to fathom Doom's fusion of both science and magic to operate the device. The device worked for a few moments and Doom was briefly transported to Mephisto's realm where his mother begged him to turn back. However Mephisto reached out and touched Doom, chilling him to the bone.
It was at that moment the experiment literally blew up in his face, scarring it. For conducting the experiment in secret and without authorization from the university, Von Doom was expelled from State U and blamed Richards for his experiment going wrong.
With no information other than that this secret order of monks lived in the Himalayas, Victor travelled there and spent months climbing the mountains and searching for clues to the whereabouts of this hidden tribe. Victor utilized his technological skills to build devices that made travelling through the harsh winter climates of the mountains easier, but the treak was still one fraught with difficulty and danger.
Doom's evenings were still haunted by nightmares of his mother and the demon who took her. Eventually, Doom's resources were nearly exhausted and he faced starvation and hypothermia. However he found a minor repast from eventual death from the elements the day he was attacked by a Yeti which Victor slew. The creature's flesh gave him food, and his fur an extra coat to protect him from the elements. Eventually his supplies ran out again and after months of travel and on the brink of death he found the temple collapsing outside.
There, he was rescued by monks. Doom found that the monks were masters of both magic and technology and upon reaching full health he mastered all they knew and surpassed their abilities himself within five years. After creating himself a complex suit of power armor, complete with a mask to hide his badly scarred face, he named himself Doctor Doom.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Power Amor: A technological armor he magically forged at a Tibetan monastery and which he has extensively upgraded and modified over the years. It incorporates many systems, some optional and others almost always present, and Doom builds on it whenever necessary. These systems include jet systems, advanced sensory systems that can scan on all frequencies, many computers that allow it to automatically track and attack targets, a nearly self-aware AI that constantly works to improve Doom's defenses, supported by other adaptive technologies, and life support systems that produce air, water, food, and energy. Doom's armor also contains many weapons, such as grenades, lasers, missiles, plasma cannons, repulsor beams, and so on. It is also protected by an electrical current that shocks anyone who touches it, and a powerful forcefield. It has fail safes to make sure that only Doom can make full use of its abilities, to ensure his technology cannot be used against him. Additionally, if the armor is worn (or stolen) by someone else, it will slowly brainwash them and replace their personality with Doom's. A few of its systems and weapons includes:
- Infrared Vision: Infrared scanners in the helmet allow the wearer to detect heat sources, permitting night vision and the ability to see invisible targets.
- Sensor Systems: Optical scanners in the helmet allow the helmet's eyepieces to be used as high-powered telescopes, and parabolic ear amplifiers fitted inside the helmet allow Doom to detect extremely faint sounds and unusual frequencies within the audible range for humans.
- Instant Hypnotism Impulsers: Doom possess hypnotizers imbued within his metal gloves, which he can use to control or distort the minds of others by pointing at them.
- Refrigeration Gloves: Doom's gloves have a refrigerating device that allows him to freeze others with a touch.
- Time Cube: Doom has a Time Cube incorporated into his armor, which he can use to manipulate time, reversing it to reconstruct his destroyed castle.
- Nerve-Scrambler Ray: Using this weapon, Doom can scramble his opponents' nerve impulses to prevent them from properly controlling their body or coordinating their movements.
- Inhibitor Ray: Doom's inhibitor ray can be used to dampen the supernatural powers of others and subtly affect their minds to make it impossible for them to attack him
- Power Cosmic Siphon Harness: A device that Doom built that allows him to absorb the power of others. Originally a clunky harness, it has decreased in size over the years, eventually becoming a part of Doom's armor. It allows him to near-instantly drain the power of his targets and even cosmic beings such as Terrax, Silver Surfer, Watchers, Galactus, etc.
- Hypnosis: Doom has the power to hypnotize others through eye contact, dominating their minds with his overwhelming willpower.
- Ovoid Mind Transfer: A mental power that Doom learned from the alien Ovoids. By making eye contact with another being, he can transfer his consciousness into their body, switching places their original consciousness, and leaving them in his old body. He can even use it multiple times in quick succession while fighting.
Dr. Doom is one of Marvel's greatest sorcerers and he has a massive arcane library. He travels across time and space to learn dark arts from sorcerers throughout the ages, having mystical knowledge on par with that of Doctor Strange and mastering dark magics that Strange has never dared to risk.
- Dreamtime: Doom can access the Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime to travel and/or communicate with others through the dreams of people.
- Anti-Physics: During his demonic powerup, Doom's presence alone was enough to slowly repeal the laws of physics around him, weakening their influence.
- Crimson Bands of Cytorrak: A spell that draws power from the god Cytorrak to create several red energy rings to bind an opponent.
- Summoning: Doom can summon a variety of demons and monsters, calling upon entire hordes of demonic abominations to fight against his opponents.
- Teleportation: Doom's mystic abilities allow him to teleport, and he can even interfere with the teleportation of others, controlling and changing their destinations so they will arrive wherever he pleases, even on a far-off planet.
- Temporal Banishment: Doom is capable of banishing people through time, sending them to 1 million yers into the past.
