I don't know if anyone's posted or seen this already, but there are quite a few spoilers here for the upcoming issues of Avengers: the Children's Crusade.
I'm keeping out a few tags on purpose for those who wish for no spoilers.
Yet again, Doom proves that he's the greatest hero in the Marvel Universe!
Or, you know, he's done it for the same reason he agreed to help out Susan when she was giving birth to Valeria and Reed was busy doing something else. Namely to annoy Reed that he was able to do something good that Reed couldn't.
The problem or Doom is that all his trolling attempts won't work because Reed doesen't really care. He's just pleased that Doom is doing something useful rather than launching his house into space.
"Allan Heinberg: It's revived and transformed him, burning away his ego and his insecurity, leaving only what is true and noble about Victor Von Doom."
If the supposedly ego-less Doom immediately starts correcting his own past mistakes, it might be real. If he immediately starts correcting his enemies' past mistakes, it's 100% BS -- and quintessential Doom.
I'm not sure the resurrections there are actually 'real' as such; looking at the sequence of panels, it seems like what we're seeing could just be Doom doing a bit of a power demo:
Panel 1. Doom: "Look, see, I could be a benevolent god and do all this good stuff for you." Panel 2. *Doom waves a hand and makes the good stuff disappear* Panel 3. Doom: "Or, if you don't play nice, I could be the evil glowy eyed destructive kind of god instead." Panel 4. Everybody else: "...Soooo, who decided it was a good idea to let Doom have the keys to the 'godlike power' cabinet again?"
Oh, I think it's real. I just expect it to last about 2 months before someone decides they need him as a villain again, and has him consciously decide to go back to the way he was or something. Bonus points if:
1) This turns out to be a Doombot, or 2) He purposefully scars himself.

Anyways,
this sounds and looks too much like Blackest Night's conclusion all over again!

This is the part that bothers me...

And yeah, I doubt this will stick.
