While we wait for the New Avengers: One World Under Doom should blow your mind

Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo brothers are back, and this time, Doctor Doom is taking center stage! Marvel's upcoming storyline promises a "Doom era," akin to "Dark Reign," rather than a short-lived event. This means Doom's reign as World Emperor and Sorcerer Supreme will dominate the Marvel universe for much of 2025. Expect the familiar, but with a twist.

The Superior Avengers will feature villainous characters, but with a new cast of players:

• Abomination: Kristoff, Doom's adopted son and Reed Richards' half-brother.
• Dr. Octopus: A new, unnamed woman.
• Ghost: A nameless woman, reminiscent of the Ant-Man version.
• Killmonger: A reimagined portrayal.
• Malekith: The Black Elves remain on Earth.
• Onslaught: A significant addition to the team.

The 6-issue Superior Avengers miniseries, written by Steve Fox and illustrated by Luca Maresca, launches in April.

This isn't a novel concept. Remember Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers in 2009, or Hydra's Avengers in Secret Empire? Doom's takeover builds upon this precedent.

But how did Doom achieve this unprecedented level of power? Let's examine the key events leading to "One World Under Doom":

• Emperor Doom
• President Doom 2099
• Secret Wars
• Blood Hunt

Emperor Doom:

While not the first instance of Doom's global dominance, Emperor Doom (1987) perfectly encapsulates the concept of a world ruled by Doom. The story's strength lies in its simple, yet powerful premise.

President Doom 2099:

In Doom 2099, a future Doom nearly conquers America. Warren Ellis and Pat Broderick's series features a memorable 90s-style Doom declaring, "America is the greatest threat to the planet. I'll save the world by protecting America." A compelling portrayal of Doom's ambition.

Secret Wars:

Doom's role in Secret Wars (2015) showcases his relentless pursuit of power and immortality, all under the guise of benevolent governance. His actions, including marrying Sue Storm and transforming Johnny Storm, are driven by personal motivations. A fascinating look at Doom's potential with ultimate power.

Blood Hunt:

The 2024 Blood Hunt event, a crucial stepping stone to "One World Under Doom," sees Doctor Strange entrusting Doom with the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to combat a vampire invasion. Doom retains this power, setting the stage for his ultimate triumph.

As we await further details from Downey Jr. and the Russos, let's prepare for a world under the absolute rule of Doctor Doom.
