Am I alone in the thought that Dr. Doom would have made a much better iron man villain than a F4 villain?

Fuck you, Bendis, nobody cares about your shitty opinions.
iron man already has 10 different villains that are just dudes in some sort of robot suit
>>93642708
Fuck you Bendis
>>93642708
No. they've tried it a hundred times
Dr Doom is a much better villain for ANY heroes period.
Hell he even deserved his own ongoing, but, well, you know, Fox.

Limiting Doom's scope is a bad idea. He's best used as robustly an antagonist or force of change as possible.
I will concede though that the threads tying him to the FF have started to wane, outside of the association with Valeria there's seldom enough done dynamically with him and the others to make it feel substantial.

He has one atm senpai

Doom is a Richards and Marvel U villain.

Thank God, somebody else who agrees. Doom and Stak are perfect mirrors of one another. Stark grew up in wealth with negletful parents and was an emotional child that turned into a playboy alpha with emotional problems. Doom grew up around a loving community but in poverty, and grew up to be a bitter man with no time for "fun". Both have a view for the world and don't trust anyone but themselves.
Before "Bendis", the Doom/Tony relationship goes way back, but /co/ doesn't read comics, so...

No, among heroes only the F4 is to scale to Doom when it comes to being well... fantastic and bigger than life. Being anyone else's rival diminishes him as a villain.
Doctor Doom once fell in love with a woman because if he didn't he couldn't make mystical leather armor out of her skin.
Doctor Doom once fought his way out of hell with naught but the strength of his will and his arms.
Doctor Doom produces clones of superheroes for shits and giggles.
He is a mad wizard scientist and the only people capable of fighting him are the kind of people versed in both absolute absurdity and high concept sci-fi rigamarole.
Reed Richards setting aside he core belief in the absolute power of science and reason so he can build a machine that channels magic to fight Doctor Doom's newly bolstered magical skills is not a moment anyone will ever take away from me.
Doom kills Ben Grimm and the rest of the team uses his failed afterlife traversal machine to not only save him from untimely death but LITERALLY knock on God's door!
THAT is called motherfucking synergy.
