I, Victor Von Doom, was introduced by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]] as the [[Arch Enemy]] of the [[Fantastic Four]], and one of the smartest men...no, the ''unquestioned smartest man'' on Earth. I was born in a Romani family in the [[Fictional Country]] of Latveria, as the son of a witch and a herbalist. When my beloved mother Cynthia was killed by the demons she had summoned to fight Latverian soldiers, I swore revenge, and the death of my father because of a Latverian tyrant only fueled my desire.

I then joined a mysterious order which taught me secret knowledge, including metallurgy. I used it to create a suit of [[Power Armor]] I have used (with some modifications) since that day. From that moment, and forever more, I have been known as '''Doctor Doom'''. I overthrew the previous ruler of Latveria and claimed it as my own, becoming the new dicta- ruler of my country. Quickly my path crossed with the [[Fantastic Four]], who became my sworn enemies. However, I have also fought with almost every superhero in the [[Marvel Universe]] - [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]], [[X Men|X-Men]], [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]], [[The Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Incredible Hulk]], [[Iron Man]], [[The Mighty Thor]], [[Luke Cage Hero for Hire|Luke Cage]] - all have contested me, and some have even succeeded in temporarily arresting my plans<ref>Doom's charity is so great, he condescends to mention [[Squirrel Girl]] in a foot note for managing to best a [[Body Double|Doombot]].

On that account, I have had more serious setbacks such as when that cursed Richards enabled me to be deposed in favor of [[Evil Prince|Prince Zorba]]. However, I eventually regained the throne with the help of Richards and his compatriots when I showed them that Zorba was laying waste to Latveria in his murderous madness. True, in their eyes they were participating in my retaking of the throne entirely for the sake of the oppressed people of Latveria, and that was good enough for me.

I also partook in several of the electronic entertainment devices that you call video games. I even starred in many as the main "villain." However Doom was greatly disappointed by Richards and his ilk not appearing in fighting games [[Marvel Super Heroes (Video Game)|made]] [[Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Video Game)|by]] [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Capcom]] (so that Doom could best them yet again) and the indignity of being second fiddle to the deluded Titan Thanos. Bah! Even with [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|the third game]], they used the Super Skrull (along with Doom, naturally) because Richards was too cowardly to participate. Doom is greatly disappointed, but rest assured that Doom WILL strike down [[Street Fighter|Ryu]] and his [[Capcom]] ilk in Richards' stead. Doom also looks forward to working with [[Resident Evil|Albert Wesker]], and hopes that Mr. Wesker does not disappoint or [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|foolishy attempt to betray Doom.]] And yes, that is a Doombot in any video in which Doom loses. Doom would ''never'' put himself in that much harm on purpose.

Rumor even has it that the film-maker, [[George Lucas]], took inspiration from myself to create that cultural icon, [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]]. How fortunate for him that Doom has better things to do than indulge in petty litigation or more direct means with him.
