Doctor Doom Conquers the Marvel Universe on New Variant Cover Series

Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Doom conquers the Marvel Universe in 2025.

August 7, 2024, 6:30pm

Marvel is doomed. Following news out of San Diego Comic-Con 2024 that Robert Downey Jr. is playing Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Marvel Comics Universe is positioning the supervillain for his supreme reign in 2025. First, having replaced Doctor Strange as the new Sorcerer Supreme during the events of Blood Hunt, the leader of Latveria will give Spider-Man a Doom-inspired suit in the 10-issue “8 Deaths of Spider-Man” arc in Amazing Spider-Man this November. Next year, the Marvel Universe submits to Victor Von Doom in the Doom-centric event One World Under Doom.

The relaunched Iron Man #1 by Spencer Ackerman and Julius Ohta and writer Zeb Wells’ Amazing Spider-Man finale are among the titles that will feature Doctor Doom defeating the heroes of the Marvel Universe.
