- MEDIA INTERVIEWSELECTED6 Nov 2024All Hail Doom! The supreme ruler of Latveria has successfully defeated The Fantastic Four and The Avengers.

He is one of the most complex characters in Marvel history. I talk with comic book writers Mark Waid, Brian Michael Bendis and Ryan North about the ways they’ve depicted Doctor Doom, from noble intensions gone away to horrific acts of selfishness.
