'''MF DOOM''' (also known as DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) |
'''MF DOOM''' (January 9, 1971 – October 31, 2020; also known as DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) was a particularly [[Troperiffic]] [[Rap|rapper]]. |

DOOM, born [[Alliterative Name|Daniel Dumile]], had some success as a rapper in the early '90s under the name Zev Love X. However, the [[Death by Origin Story|tragic loss of his brother in a car accident]] in 1994 caused him to retreat from the hip-hop world and sink into a deep depression. He eventually became homeless on the streets of New York; in interviews, he describes himself in this period as "recovering from his wounds" and swearing revenge "against the industry that so badly deformed him." If this sounds like a [[Super Villain]] [[Super-Hero Origin|origin story]], well, the similarity didn't escape him either. When he recovered and returned to the world of hip-hop he adopted the identity of MF DOOM, an [[Expy]] of the [[Fantastic Four]] villain [[Doctor Doom]]. DOOM has consistently worn a [[Cool Mask]] since he returned to performing; it is nearly impossible to find pictures of him from after 1998 or so in which he shows his face. |
