Doom's primary weakness is his arrogance, which often blinds him to his own role in his failures. [[Layla Miller]] noted that he refuses to accept responsibility for the accident that scarred his face, instead blaming Reed Richards. While Doom typically views himself as superior, he occasionally listens to heroes like [[Mister Fantastic]] when it benefits him. Even when allied with others, he often seeks personal gain, as seen when he attempted to steal Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet during a confrontation with the Titan. Doom adheres to a strict code of honor, keeping his word but often interpreting promises in a self-serving way. For instance, while he may not harm someone directly, he won't stop others from doing so. His sense of honor has led him to save Captain America and spare Spider-Man's life, but he refuses to attack weakened opponents, preferring that any victory over the Fantastic Four come solely from him. Despite his flaws, Doom is devoted to his subjects. When judged by the [[Bast (Marvel Comics)|Panther God]] of [[Wakanda]], it is revealed that Doom truly wished for a utopian future where humanity thrived, albeit one where he was in power.<ref>''Doomwar'' #3</ref>
