Finally, the secret genius of Doctor Doom is revealed and may surprise some fans. This Fantastic Four villain has had the world of Marvel almost at his fingertips many times, but has always been outwitted by the comics’ most iconic heroes. Often praised as the most brilliant villain of all time, it looks like he may be getting help in his brilliant plans after all.
In a preview for Venom War: Fantastic Four #1 by Adam Warren and Joey Vazquez, Kang and Doom are at war again, and the war is shown over the years – but the most prominent aspect is the revelation of Doctor Doom’s nefarious plots.
It appears Doctor Doom isn’t the exact mastermind behind his own schemes, as he created a network of doombots to act as a kind of Artificial Intelligence who are the true authors of his plans. To save time, these doombots constantly improve Doctor Doom’s own schemes and solve every problem so that he can be free to achieve world domination.
Doctor Doom’s Doombots are the brains behind the Marvel villain
Victor Von Doom’s famous Doombots
Doctor Doom’s doombots are a key piece of his lore, often used as soldiers in his crusade against the world or even as decoys. Just when the Fantastic Four think they have finally defeated Doom, they discover that he was just a destroyer after all. However, it has now been revealed that these doombots do more than just take your place as a punching bag – They are the ones who plan all of Doctor Doom’s most famous plans.
Doom spread his intelligence among a collective mind to more quickly arrive at a solution.
It is not yet known whether these doombots are behind all the plans or if they are a recent addition. It would be possible that all of Victor Von Doom’s greatest achievements, even becoming the newest Sorcerer Supreme, were the work of his own Artificial Intelligence program. If that were the case, then The true brilliance of this Fantastic Four archenemy isn’t in his own mind but in the minds of their creations.

In the preview, the doombots work like real-life artificial intelligence that criticizes itself until it reaches a possible solution. They do the same work as Doctor Doom’s genius but much faster than he could do alone. However, it should not be forgotten that they are the intelligence of Doom himself, seeing as he created these glowing doombots in the first place. While it may seem like Doctor Doom is just the dictator of the show, he has spread his intelligence among a collective mind to more quickly arrive at a solution. That’s how smart Doctor Doom is.
Doombots may be intelligent, but as seen in the preview, even when they finally reach a consensus on the best course of action, they take it to the powerful Doctor Doom for approval. He is the brilliant mind that reigns over all his creations, and these destroyers could not exist without him. Although this secret genius shows how Doctor Doom has so many brilliant schemes, he reveals that Doctor Doom is the only Marvel genius to think of such a plan.
