"Dry your tears, child. You do not need Franklin -Richards-. I can build you a far superior sibling... Franklin von DOOM! He will do all your chores for you, and never pulls your hair, and always want to play the games YOU want to play! Doesn't that sound so much better? Just say the words and I can have him built within the hour."
It's weird to see Doom using first person pronouns instead of shouting in the third person. It fits with the way he's treating Valeria, but it's still a bit odd.
Just curious; is Valeria aware that Doom once sent Franklin to Hell? Or that he used to use her to spy on Reed? Or that Doom used to bake dissidents in ovens?
Has Reed told Valeria any of this? It's like letting your kid hang out with Joe Stalin or Gaddafi.
Ugh I wish they had retconned Waid's abomination of a storyline like they did with Grant Morrison's Planet X, but it seems that they're just happy to ignore it.
Anyway, Valeria said in her letter that she wants to help him become a better person.
It was briefly shown in a montage with the other stuff Doom's done, but overall it hasn't been personally brought up in any of Doom's interactions with the FF since then (besides the issue where JMS brought him back, though Reed and Sue just asked him how he escaped from Hell), AFAIK.
Though who knows, maybe will Robinson will deal with it more.
