Currently he's been taken in by Layla Miller and Madrox who hope that he can aid them in traveling back to their present.<ref>''X-Factor'' #47</ref> After finding and reactivating a time machine provided by the future X-Men, Doom, while in another lucid moment, betrays them, ordering the time traveling "Cortex" to use his abilities to "Destroy all the mutants".<ref>''X-Factor'' #49</ref> Doom also is able to take control of the heavily cyberized Cyclops though his cybernetic implants, forcing Cyclops' daughter Ruby to take him down.

He eventually comes face to face with Rancor, a descendant of Wolverine, and offers to become her ally, though he secretly intended to use her as a pawn for his own gain, while she intends to slay him on her quest to determine what happened to Wolverine. During their battle, Doom reveals himself to be in control of Wolverine's skeleton, heavily modified with cybernetics and missing half of one of the claws, which had eventually come into the possession of Rancor. Rancor manages to strike at one of Doom's robotic eyes, forcing him to retreat. Doom is not seen again in this reality. ===Earth-X=== In the dystopian future of [[Earth-X]], Doctor Doom has killed the Invisible Woman and Human Torch, but died in the process. Reed Richards took his place as ruler of Latveria and also wears his armor. ===Heroes Reborn (2021)=== In the 2021 "[[Heroes Reborn (2021 comic)|Heroes Reborn]]" reality, a variation of Doctor Doom appears as a member of the Masters of Doom and can turn into '''Doctor Juggernaut''' using the Gem of [[Cyttorak]]. After escaping from the Negative Zone, Doctor Juggernaut attacked the front lawn of the White House and fought [[Hyperion (comics)|Hyperion]].<ref>''Heroes Reborn'' vol. 2 #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> ===House of M=== {{Main|House of M}} In the ''[[House of M]]'' continuity, Doom rules Latveria, with his mother alive, married to Valeria, and having adopted [[Kristoff Vernard|Kristoff]]. After Reed Richards's test flight results in the deaths of Reed, Sue, and [[John Jameson (comics)|John Jameson]] from cosmic radiation, Ben Grimm survives but loses his intelligence. This prompts Doom to form the Fearsome Four with himself, the It (Grimm), the Invincible Woman (Valeria), and the Inhuman Torch (Kristoff). However, due to Doom's arrogance and brutality, the It betrays the team, leading to the deaths of Valeria and Kristoff, and his mother's kidnapping. Left broken, Doom genetically mutates himself, transforming his skin into liquid metal and gaining the ability to form weapons from his hands as he prepares for revenge.<ref>''House of M'' #5</ref> ===Iron Man 2093=== In an alternative future set in 2093, where a reborn [[King Arthur]] rules a renewed Camelot, Doom and Iron Man are drawn to stop a plan to destroy most of Earth's population. While Iron Man battles his descendant wielding [[Excalibur]], Doom confronts his future self, who has allied with the future Iron Man to complete a sinister plan. Rejecting his future counterpart, Doom asserts that no amount of power justifies such an affront to his dignity, then kills the older Doom, suggesting a stable time loop where the younger Doom will always defeat his future self.<ref>''[[Iron Man]]'' #250</ref> === Marvel Mangaverse === In ''[[Marvel Mangaverse]]'', Doom makes [[T'Channa]], T'Challa's sister, his disciple, she banishes him to another dimension and assumes the identity of Doctor Doom.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Doom (Earth-2301, Mangaverse character) |url=http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix7/doomtchanna-2301.htm |access-date=2023-05-17 |website=www.marvunapp.com}}</ref> ===Marvel Two-In-One (2017)=== When the Thing and the Human Torch search the multiverse for the missing Richards' family, their first new universe visited is a world where the Thing died in the Fantastic Four's first battle with Galactus. This universe's Doctor Doom saved Earth by transferring his mind into Galactus, with the result that Earth has been spared but Doom's hunger for power has led him to devour every other planet in the universe. With the help of alternate counterparts of Reed Richards and Emma Frost from an undesignated universe, they are able to defeat him by transferring his mind into Emma Frost's body, while she becomes the Life Bringer.<ref>''Marvel Two-In-One'' #5-6</ref> ===Marvel Universe vs the Avengers=== Weeks after a pathogen has turned most of Earth's population into homicidal cannibals, Dr. Doom aids the Avengers in repelling the infected and offers them Doom Stones to prevent further transformations, but demands absolute loyalty in return. Most Avengers reluctantly accept, while Thor returns to Asgard; however, they later discover that the stones do not halt the infection but enhance cognitive function in the cannibals and accelerate the transformation process. Hawkeye uncovers Doom's infection and, after Doom activates the stones' harmful effects, he is ultimately killed by Hawkeye with an arrow tipped with Wolverine's severed adamantium claws. ===Marvel Zombies vs. The Army Of Darkness=== {{Main|Marvel Zombies vs. The Army Of Darkness|Marvel Zombies}} In more of an anti-hero role, the Earth-2149 version of Doom is still ruler of Latveria. Doom has fortified his castle to defend against the infected superheroes and refuses help from [[Nick Fury]], and takes in refugees for the purpose of repopulating the planet once the situation is resolved. To the disgust of his allies, it is revealed Doom has only chosen the hardiest breeding stock of the Latverian survivors; there are no elderly people or children.<ref name="mzvtaod4">[[Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness]] #4</ref> He creates a makeshift portal that will allow escape into other dimensions, should the zombie plague doom the planet. Doom is forced to vaporize the mutant [[Dazzler (Marvel Comics)|Dazzler]] and the zombified [[Enchantress (Marvel Comics)|Enchantress]] after the latter infects the former, but is then attacked by the zombified Marvel superheroes and infected by Reed Richards, who had infected himself and his teammates on purpose.<ref name="mzvtaod5">''[[Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness]]'' #5</ref> Shortly before he turns, a "dying" Doom heroically uses his portal to allow the refugees escape to another reality. Despite his defenses, the zombies breaks through once more. With only himself and [[Ash Williams]] remaining, he reveals he has been infected by the virus, and cannot go through the portal himself. Though tempted to eat Ash, he resists, as he considers Ash to have allowed him revenge against Reed Richards, allowing the man to escape, even giving him the ability to choose one of many realities. As Ash escapes through it, Doom ultimately destroys the device, trapping himself with the zombies. Having witnessed Doom saving the refugees by using his portal for their escape, the zombified [[Thing (comics)|Thing]] suddenly attacked Doom.<ref name="mzvtaod5" /> He is later seen in New York, as a zombie who attempts to devour [[Galactus]] before engaging in battle with the zombified superheroes who succeeded in absorbing Galactus' cosmic powers before him, presumably being killed by them off-screen.<ref>''Marvel Zombies'' #1 - 5 (2006)</ref> ===MC2=== {{Main|Fantastic Five}} In the [[Fantastic Five]] series set in the [[Marvel Comics 2|MC2]], Doom is revealed to be held captive by the Sub-Mariner for ten years, after the destruction of Atlantis. Doom manages to escape, and uses the same device he once employed to imbue [[Terrax]] with the [[Power Cosmic]] on his Doombots- unable to use it on himself as his human body would be destroyed from the strain-, and attempts to take over the world. Taking advantage of Doom's desire to prove himself superior, Reed Richards challenges Doom to a psychic duel, using a device that will send the loser's mind to the Crossroads of Infinity. The two are so evenly matched that both are sent to the Crossroads - although Namor notes that it is possible that Reed sacrificed himself to try to save Doom - leaving their bodies as empty shells, although Reed's teammates note that there is always a possibility that the two shall return so long as their bodies remain alive.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} ===Mini-Marvels=== Doctor Doom makes shortly cameos in Mini-Marvels. In the "Classic Mini Marvels" section, there's a short story about him in which he tries to read Marvel's comics.

The Avengers also have a photo of Doom in their house, as shown in "World War Hulk".{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} ===Mutant X=== In the [[Mutant X (comics)|Mutant X]] universe, Doom leads the United Nations in battle against the [[Goblin Queen|Goblyn Queen]] and later the Beyonder.<ref>''Mutant X'' #12</ref> An alternate of Doom with the powers of [[Charles Xavier]] is a superhero and leader of his own [[X-Men]].<ref>''Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four'' #47</ref> ===Old Man Logan=== In the alternative [[Old Man Logan|Wolverine-centric future]] shown on Earth-807128, the supervillains of the Marvel universe finally won and divided America (later renamed Amerika) up amongst themselves. Doctor Doom has his own area of land called New Latveria (also called Doom's Lair). He is seen for only a few panels dressed in all gray standing atop a cliff watching a now old Logan and [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)#Old Man Logan|Hawkeye]] driving the Spider Buggy built by the [[Human Torch]]. It is revealed that '''[[Clyde Wyncham]]''' has taken on the role of Doom.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://marvel.com/catalog/?id=12981 |title=Wolverine #72 |access-date=November 23, 2020 |date=October 12, 2010}}</ref> On Earth-21923 that was similar to Earth-807128, Doctor Doom's history is still the same. After Old Man Logan killed [[Red Skull#Old Man Logan|Red Skull]] and [[Alternative versions of the Hulk#Old Man Logan|Hulk]], a power vacuum was caused in Amerika which led to Doctor Doom taking over the Presidential Quarter.<ref>''[[Old Man Quill]]'' #2. [[Marvel Comics]].</ref> At one point during his takeover of the Presidential Quarter, he came across a village that was established by [[Baron Mordo#Wastelanders|Baron Mordo]]. When Doctor Doom cut off Baron Mordo's access to [[Agatha Harkness#Wastelanders|Agatha Harkness]], he killed Baron Mordo, took the Darkhold that was in his possession, and freed Sofia Strange and those enslaved to Mordo.

Marvel Comics.</ref> ===Old Woman Laura=== In an alternate timeline, Doom gathered most of the supervillains on Earth into an army, attempting to conquer the world. When his "soldiers" were defeated and imprisoned, Doom retreated to Latveria, creating an impenetrable forcefield over the whole country. Decades later, [[X-23|Wolverine]] receives word that Doom is holding her clone sister Bellona prisoner, and leads a covert attack to take Doom out once and for all. Doom manages to capture Laura, revealing that he deliberately leaked the intel that drove her to attack. He attempts to transfer his mind into Laura's body in order to escape his own decrepit form, only to discover that Laura is herself dying. Doom returns to his own body, but is killed by Laura immediately after.<ref>''All-New Wolverine'' #33-35. Marvel Comics.</ref> ===Spider-Man: Life Story=== In ''Spider-Man: Life Story'' a reality in which the Marvel superheroes aged in real time and started their careers the same year as their publication, Doctor Doom has taken over [[Earth]] as a result of [[Civil War (comics)|the Civil War between Captain America and Iron Man]] and a resistance being formed to combat him composed of those that didn't die or disappear entirely.<ref>''Spider-Man Life Story'' #6</ref> ===''The End''=== {{Main|Fantastic Four: The End}} In [[Alan Davis]]' mini-series, [[Fantastic Four: The End]], Dr. Doom appears as a four-armed cyborg with little of his humanity left. Doom breaks during the "mutant wars" and is now a killing machine, focused on the deaths of the Fantastic Four. He engages in a final battle with the Four and is seemingly killed in an explosion when his powers react with those of Franklin and Valeria Richards. Doom is later revealed to be alive and conquers the Negative Zone after killing Annihilus and obtaining his power rod and immortality.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} ===''The Last Fantastic Four Story''=== {{Main|The Last Fantastic Four Story}} Dr. Doom is seen trying to destroy the Adjudicator, however he and his robotic planes are shown to disintegrate and he is last seen cheering the Fantastic Four (even though he will find a way to destroy them).

He secretly reprograms a teleporter's coordinates, causing the accident that gives the Ultimate Fantastic Four their powers and transforms him into a metallic-skinned figure with clawed hands and goat-hooved legs. When he learns of their transformation, he derides Reed as a "freak," believing himself to be the only one worthy of such power.<ref>''Ultimate Fantastic Four'' #7–12</ref>[[File:Ultimate Doctor Doom.jpg|thumb|upright|Doctor Victor von Doom's Earth 1610 doppelgänger, Victor van Damme. {{Descript-cvr-art|[[Ultimate Fantastic Four]]|1|12|October 2004|pub=Marvel|art=Stuart Immonen}}]] For a time, Doom leads a micronation in [[Copenhagen]] known as "Free State," where citizens live rent-free in exchange for loyalty and receive dragon tattoos that serve as mind control devices. The Fantastic Four eventually liberate the citizens during their first battle, but they cannot imprison Doom due to his diplomatic immunity.<ref>''Ultimate Fantastic Four'' #12</ref> During the Namor fiasco, it was revealed that the mother of Sue and Johnny Storm possesses a similar dragon tattoo.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} After the collapse of the Keep, Doom returned to Latveria and transformed it from a Third World nation into the ninth-richest country in the world within six months. Although the citizens, now bearing Doom's dragon tattoos, revere him as "the good doctor," their loyalty comes at a cost.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} Meanwhile, Doom switches bodies with Reed Richards to claim a life he believes is rightfully his, leaving Reed in control of Latveria while he seeks recognition by saving Johnny Storm from an alien parasite. Despite Reed's efforts to combat the zombie Fantastic Four, Doom ultimately reverts their bodies and defeats the threat himself.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} Doom seems to reappear in issue six of ''Ultimate Power'', seeking control over the Supremeverse, but is revealed in issue eight to be a Doombot.

This was who The Thing unknowingly killed.<ref>''Ultimate FF'' #5</ref> The Ultimate version of Reed Richards appears to have taken over the role of Doctor Doom.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} More recently, the Parliament of Doom (an organization constituted by numerous Doctor Dooms of alternative universes led by the Victor von Doom of [[Earth-616]]) fought the Fantastic Four in an alternative past of Earth-616, being one of the Doctor Dooms present very similar to Ultimate Doctor Doom, with features such as goat-hooved legs. It is yet unknown if that Doctor Doom is in fact from the Ultimate Universe or an alternative version of that reality.<ref>{{cite comic|writer=Fraction, Matt|penciller=Bagley, Mark|inker=|story=Nativity|title=Fantastic Four|issue=9|volume=4|publisher=Marvel Comics|date=June 2013}}</ref> Following the events of ''Cataclysm'', [[Phil Coulson]] and [[Danny Ketch]] reveal that the real Victor (who once again has his goat-hooved legs) was being held captive by [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] before it disbanded.

However, Miles unexpectedly taps into a hidden power, defeating Doom and Hydra, just as another Earth's image appears in the sky.<ref>''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'' #12</ref> Ultimate Doom is a scientific genius who views science as an art, having transformed his body into solid metal and gained powers similar to Colossus, including the ability to expel his internal organs as poisonous gas and regenerate, though he cannot heal wounds inflicted by his own spikes. He exhibits super strength and can launch metal spikes from his forearms, making him formidable enough to break the arms of a zombie version of Ben Grimm.<ref name="Ultimate Fantastic Four #30-31">''Ultimate Fantastic Four'' #30-31</ref> The Ultimate Universe's Doom is also an accomplished sorcerer.<ref name="Ultimate Fantastic Four #30-31" /> ===Venomverse=== In [[Venomverse]], Doom was consumed by the [[List of alien races in Marvel Comics#P|Poisons]] and became their second in command after [[Thanos#Venomverse|Poison Thanos]].

In ''Warlock'' #6, it is told how von Doom and Richards had been roommates, friends and lab partners in college. After von Doom's disfiguring accident, Richards' emotional support prevented him from becoming a villain. When Richards and his three companions hijacked a spaceship in order to be the first humans in space, von Doom unsuccessfully attempted to talk him out of it. Though all of the counter "fantastic four" were exposed to cosmic radiation, it was only Richards that was affected due to the interference of [[Man-Beast]] though the effects only became apparent ten years later when he became the [[Brute (Reed Richards)|Brute]] due to "latent cosmic radiation - and a mysterious guiding hand".{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} In ''Warlock'' #5-7, Victor von Doom was employed at the Livermore Valley Lab in California where he worked on "Earth-Corer-1", a vehicle designed to tunnel into the Earth. He warned the president of a massive earthquake that would be caused by a nuclear bomb test. The resulting earthquake accidentally activated "Antipersonnel missiles, nicknamed deathbirds"<ref name="Warlock #5"/> which began killing people indiscriminately.
