Doctor Doom isn’t always a villain and in several instances has had to team-up with the heroes to reach a common goal. In this way there is a sense that Doctor Doom is still a sympathetic character and many storylines to backup this assertion. Which might prove to be his most cunning trait having history with Reed Richards a powerfully sad backstory and a desire to communicate with his diseased mother.

There is much to suggest that Doctor Doom aims aren’t always merely about total domination, in fact it is precisely because Dr. Doom is a fully realized character with his own wants, desires, weaknesses, and strengths that he is hard to pin down and not so easily dismissed as another in the long line of Marvel villains.
