World Domination by Doctor Doom”

In 2025, the much-anticipated Marvel crossover event will be “World Domination by Doctor Doom,” which is part of Marvel’s extensive promotional push for Doctor Doom since 2024. Written by Ryan North and illustrated by R.B. Silva, this storyline shows Doctor Doom successfully taking over the world, with global leaders voluntarily handing over leadership to him, transforming the world into a part of Latveria.

In this narrative, Doom is portrayed as a savior, offering improved healthcare and education worldwide while eliminating Hydra. However, his actions raise suspicions among the heroes who suspect something amiss, only to find themselves outsmarted by Doom. The second issue of “World Domination by Doctor Doom” begins with the Fantastic Four grappling with how to handle this new world order. Not all members of the Fantastic Four’s family share their anti-Doom sentiments, as one decides to visit Doom for a discussion – Valeria Richards.

Doctor Doom and Valeria Richards share a unique bond that significantly influences their interactions not only with each other but also with the Fantastic Four. Valeria’s intelligence, in part due to her connection with Doom, is among the highest in the entire cosmos. In an intriguing twist, Doom now has an accomplice from the very team he despises the most, which could become a pivotal plot point as the story unfolds over the next few months.

Valeria and Doom Consider Each Other to be Family

It was Doctor Doom who ensured a safe delivery for Valeria, given that she was conceived in the perilous Negative Zone and faced risks due to the radiation-filled systems of the Richards’ household, which had previously led to a miscarriage. With his exceptional intelligence and technology at hand, Doom acted as a midwife, ensuring a complication-free birth for Valeria Richards. However, in exchange for his services, Doom requested naming rights and the role of godfather for the child. Reed and Sue consented, and thus, Valeria was named by Doctor Doom.

In the course of Doctor Doom’s life, Valeria holds a significant position. As a child, Victor Von Doom shared his days with a girl named Valeria while residing among fellow Romani in the woodlands of Latveria. Their bond developed into love, but the misfortunes that marked Doom’s journey forced him to part ways with Valeria, leading to his conquest of Latveria and transformation into Doctor Doom. Despite their reunion, Doom’s heinous actions were driven by a desire to annihilate the Fantastic Four, a sacrifice that cost him Valeria, who was offered to demons in exchange for enchanted leather armor made from her own skin. In his quest for power, Doom chose hate over love, ultimately losing his ability to vanquish the FF and the woman he adored in an instant. Over time, Doom and Valeria Richards developed a complex relationship, with Doom treating her as his beloved niece. He values her intellect immensely, often seeking her counsel on his plans. Valeria, despite being aware of Doom’s villainy, perceives the decent man hidden beneath, which prompts her to question his motives frequently.

Doom Has a History of Betraying Women Named Valeria

In the course of his life, Doom’s relationship with Valeria stands out as exceptionally distinct. He appears deeply affectionate towards Valeria, often collaborating with her whenever the opportunity arises. Their bond is quite endearing, yet it’s common knowledge that Doom manipulates people to achieve his objectives. Valeria places unwavering trust in Doom, but she isn’t the only ‘Valeria’ who has trusted him in this manner.

The unique dynamics of their relationship offer Doom an unprecedented glimpse into the realm of the Fantastic Four, a perspective he lacked before; this time around, Valeria even deceives her parents about her whereabouts to visit Doom in this particular issue. This act speaks volumes about her connection with Doom and hints at potentially risky paths ahead.

Readers have pondered if Victor Von Doom, in his vendetta against the Fantastic Four, might exploit his relationship with Valeria to inflict harm. Despite being a skilled ruler with admirable qualities, Doom is fundamentally malevolent. If he finds an opportunity to manipulate Valeria to cause pain to the Fantastic Four, it’s highly likely that he will seize it. Although their current encounter concludes positively for now, there’s a looming threat that in “One World Under Doom”, Doom might ultimately resort to misusing his cherished ally in the most detrimental ways possible.
