The Big Picture The world has buzzed with questions since Marvel Studios took to San Diego Comic Con's Hall H stage. Not only did studio president Kevin Feige reveal Doctor Doom as the primary villain for both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars , but returning franchise directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo dropped what might be 2024's bombshell: Robert Downey Jr., the MCU’s real-life Anchor Being if there is one, will be donning the green cloak.

Doomquest establishes Doctor Doom as one of Tony's recurring enemies. Two direct sequels followed, one where the pair visits a futuristic Camelot and another taking them to Hell. Otherwise, What If? #33 captures Doomquest's spirit by positing "What If Iron Man Was Trapped in the Time of King Arthur?" In 2007, issues 10 and 11 of The Mighty Avengers, created byBrian Michael Bendisand artist Mark Bagley, toss Tony and Victor into the 1970s.

3 ​​Specific arcs blur those lines and originate multiple instances where these men switch places. On the heels of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic's Secret Wars, where Doom finally achieves galactic domination only for it to be a short-lived victory, Doom insinuates himself into Tony's life . Between losing to Reed Richards and Reed healing his facial scars, Doom's gained a more altruistic perspective.

A less sinister version of this plot unfolds in Bendis and penciler Alex Maleev's Infamous Iron Man. After Tony's temporary death in the Civil War II event, Doom takes one of his occasional swings at redemption by assuming Tony's title and purpose . Determined to protect the world, he faces legitimate foes as well as old enemies who can't trust his change of heart. Sadly, our heroes' instincts aren't misplaced.
