Doctor Doom
Doctor Doom is a supervillain from Marvel Comics, the archenemy of the Fantastic Four.
He is Victor Von Doom, a genius scientist and sorcerer who rules the fictional Eastern European nation of Latveria.
His iconic metal mask and green cloak make him one of comics' most recognizable characters.
The name serves as shorthand for any grandiose, melodramatic villain: He announced the layoffs like Doctor Doom addressing his subjects.
