Victor von Doom (also known as Doctor Doom) is a fictional character who appears in publications published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Fantastic Four #5 (July 1962). A recurring supervillain, he is the arch enemy of the Fantastic Four and also the leader of the nation of Latveria. Doctor Doom is both a genius inventor and a sorcerer, and has fought numerous other superheroes in various plots for power and/or revenge over the years. His most prominent opponents include the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, the Avengers, the X-Men, Punisher, Blade, Iron Man, and even Superman in a crossover comic Superman & Spider-Man #2. A frequent plot device is to reveal at a story's end that the heroes were actually fighting one of Doom's many robot doubles, either working on his behalf, or a Doombot gone rogue impersonating him.
The Doctor Doom character has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as feature films; video games; television series and merchandise such as action figures and trading cards. Doom was ranked as the 4th greatest villain by Wizard on its "100 Greatest Villains of All Time" list.[1] IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Doom as #3.[2]
