Line 36:
* If Dr. Doom still has his time machine laying around, why doesn't he just use to kill Reed Richards before he got his powers?
** He probably sees that as too 'lowly' for someone like himself. Odds are he wants to kill him in a grand fight, or execute him in Latveria.
** Also, time travel in the Marvel Universe operates on the "many worlds" principle, where changing an event in the past merely splits off an alternate timeline. Doom could kill Reed in the past fifty times over -- all he'd do is create fifty timelines where Reed didn't live, but Reed would still be alive in ''his'' timeline when he went back to the present. IOW, there's really no point.
*** You might ask 'but can't Doom invent a new type of time machine that gets around this problem?' And you'd be right: at one point, Doom discovered a method of time travel that would sidestep the "many worlds" problem. And then Reed Richards immediately countered by building a "a time traveler is trying to kill me at some point in the past" alarm device, sending them both right back to their original stalemate.
