Line 11:
I began to master both magic and technology, and when my fame reached the United States, I gained the opportunity to study in America. There I met Reed Richards, one of the few men on the planet whose intelligence can even approach my own (and then not by much, I can assure you). Wishing to resurrect my dead mother, I manipulated the fool into helping me construct a portal to hell; however, whether due to Reed's incompetence or intentional sabotage on his part out of jealousy for my genius (perhaps both), the device exploded and [[Scars Are Forever|damaged my face]] <ref> Due to [[Unreliable Narrator|source bias]], it should be noted that not only did Reed not have anything to do with the portal's explosion, he actually ''warned'' Doom that it would- [[Killed Mid-Sentence|ACK]]!.</ref>. I rightfully blamed Richards for the accident and [[Minor Injury Overreaction|withdrew from society for some time]].
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]], [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]], [[Incredible Hulk
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.
