Line 8:
**** Watch it again. He does get metal skin from the first movie, though it never covers his entire skin.
**** The point is that the Silver Surfer cured Doom of his mutation when they first confronted each other.
* Yeah... Why has nobody revoked [[Diplomatic Impunity|Dr. Doom's diplomatic immunity]]? Or made an attempt to invade Latveria and remove him from power? I know there's the excuse, [[Depending Onon the Writer]], that Doom is a great leader and takes care of his own people, but the man is constantly attempting to kill certain private American citizens and openly conspires to conquor the world. There's no arguing it- the man makes long, hammy speeches about these things. The UN isn't the least bit bothered about granting this man diplomatic immunity even after he's used it to commit crimes while avoiding arrest on foreign soil multiple times? SHIELD never sits down and decides to invade Latveria to arrest Doom? Reed Richards can't just go to both groups and ask them to just do this as a favor for all those times he and his family fought off Galactus?
** Not at the same scale, but... war criminal, drug trafficker, twice dictator [http://www.salon.com/wires/world/2010/08/12/D9HI4QFG1_cb_suriname_dictator_s_return/index.html Desi Bouterse was elected president of Surinam]. The Netherlands, which previously convicted him of these crimes in absentia, ''[http://www.rnw.nl/english/bulletin/dutch-visa-bouterse is obligated to give him a visa]'' if he goes to an international organization for a state matter.
** The same reason other nations with nuclear weapons aren't invaded: deterrence. Only in Doom's case, the potential threat level includes things next to which the contemporary nuclear arsenal of the United States looks like popguns. Reed Richards & SHIELD both ran simulations/projections once of the maximum amount of firepower Doom could unleash if he stopped fighting like a supervillain and instead devoted his resources to an actual full-on war: it ''began'' with light-speed anti-matter city-killers fired from orbit and went up from there. It's entirely comprehensible why the US government takes no official objection to Doom's ongoing vendetta vs. the Fantastic Four; that is, quite literally, one of the least dangerous things Doom could be doing with his time.
