Week of Doom: Unthinkable Part II

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Dr. Doom shows why he's Marvel's TOP villain.

Doom begins his plan against the FF using his new mystic powers.

1st, he taps into his *familiar*, who happens to be the young Valeria Richards.
Talk about traumatizing the kid... strong grown men have fainted under the gaze of Doom's scarred face.

Using her as his mystic eyes and ears, he gets through their high-tech defenses.

He launches an assault on the FF headquarters.
Then he sends their eldest child Franklin to hell. Yup, just like the movie.


Since the Ghostbusters aren't available (and Reed never bothered to think about creating weapons and defenses against inter-dimensional threats).


The FF go to Latveria to force Doom to return Franklin back to them.




The FF throw everything they can at Doom. Nothing works.






Doom tortures the FF in particularly gruesome ways, then tortures Reed with the knowledge that as smart as Reed may be, he doesn't know enough to figure out how to stop Doom.

coming up... Reed gets humbled, and the villain gets his due.

*For the mods, FF Series 3, issues #68-70

Yes, but what did he actually *do* to her?

Nothing, because he got distracted in the next panel by Reed's magic. Doesn't change the fact he was obviously contemplating it.

Fair point. I haven't read the story since it first came out.

I'll point out, though, that Doom could easily have harmed her earlier, and it was his promise made during her birth that stays his hand.

I doubt that's what Waid was thinking, seeing as how he's said that "the truism that Victor Von Doom is, despite his villainy, a noble man is absolute crap" and that Doom "would tear the head off a newborn baby and eat it like an apple while his mother watched if it would somehow prove he were smarter than Reed."
