If he's a king, why does he go by "black?"

>why would a man obsessed with his intelligence go out of the way to reinforce the point that he's a scientist?

That's just his super hero name. His title is T'

>>93989041
Because you don't question the great and honorable dr doom

He's obsessed with proving his superiority to his archenemy DOCTOR Reed Richards.

Also he technically didn't finish his PhD in America and just awarded himself a Latverian doctorate when he returned, so.

Alliteration. Doom has a flare for theatrics and linguistics. Dr. Doom sounds way better than King Doom.

>>93989041
He worked damn hard for that Communications degree

So...he's Mister T?

The last doctor king got shot famo

>>93989041
doctor comes before king in alphabetical order

>>93989271
I can't tell if you don't understand the joke or if you are just bad at making your own

>>93989041
Americans forget this but doctor doesn't only mean hospital doctor. In some places lawyers are also called doctors.
Doctor is someone with a doctoral degree, nothing more, and for someone into medieval shit like doom it makes sense

King Doom sounds kinda strangely african.
King Victor van Doom or King Victor would be his real title because as king you are always adressed by your first name.
Just Doom is the thing!
THE THING I SAY!

because doctors are fucking assholes that need to be acknowledged. Had some swanky company party and one of our clients consisted of a medical office. The fuckers picking up their name tags through the biggest bitch fit over the fact that DR. wasnt before their name. Had to Sharpie that crap on just to please them. Best part of the night though was when the guy I hated got shit faced and groped one of the CEO's. they forgave him and told him to leave and he came back in to do it again
