" It [is] an incalculable act of hate. "

Not surprising his superficial rhetoric played that angle, given his mention of Wakanda earlier in the same spread.

If anything he was too easy on Wakanda, he could have brought up them killing millions of people worldwide via withholding the cure for cancer.

Reed couldn't just remind Vic what he said on Battleworld.

Well..it's not like Doom isn't making the same point so many have. TV Tropes even has the "Reed Richards is useless" page.

(Does it hurt or help Doom's argument that Krakoa showed they could resurrect non-Mutants, as they did with Captain America in Judgment Day or not?
Or that he had dinner with Ororo on Mars, so he didn't seem too bothered about the whole terraforming at the time.)

Not surprisingly, Reed's secret advantage, given to him by Maria Hill... doesn't work properly.
And given there's... oh, cripes, three more issues of this to go, thinking that the big reveal at the end of the issue will be met by a resounding shrug from Marvel's civilians.
"Eh. No-one I know. Or care about."

It helps because it means that I some point, Xavier was like "Should I safeguard Stevie Hunter or maybe Sharon Friedlander? No, scratch that, they're not mutants. OK, so the order of the day: safeguard for the Von Strucker twins..."

Spoilers (maybe?)



The solicitations for the next issue indicate that this is the turning point when everyone else turns on Doom and he's trying to hold onto power.

[scorntx]

Oh.
That is a little bit of a surprise.

One bit I liked about this issue is that Reed is on his back heel debating Doom because he doesn't have easy access to the emotional arguments, until he sees the suffering kids and finds his righteous rage and you remember, Oh, yeah, this man's a dad.
