Doctor Doom is the monarch of Latveria. He is an enemy of the Avengers and the archenemy of the Fantastic Four.
History[]
Victor Von Doom was born to a group of Latvian gypsys who were Romani pagans. With a thirst of knowledge, he educated himself vigorously. He eventually took over the nation of Latveria and became it's absolute monarch as Doctor Doom and has fought against the Fantastic Four many times. He was also among the select villains to receive an invitation into Iron Skull's Cabal, a joint effort between supervillains to destroy the Avengers.[1]
Doom recovered Ulik's weapon Codgel after a fight with the Avengers. The team tracked the weapons energy signature to the Latverian Embassy and battled Doom and his Doombots. Doctor Doom, with a little modification, used the weapon to release the Midgard Serpent with hopes of using it to conquer the globe. After a battle with the Avengers, he and the creature were banished to the Realm Below using the extra-dimensional portal used by Ulik.[2]
Traveling through the Nine Realms, Doom reached Nidavellir, realm of the dwarves. Here, he not only managed to tame the Midgard Serpent, but somehow managed to attain remote control of the Destroyer. He used it to defend Latveria against HYDRA and A.I.M. However, it increased his aggression to the point where he did not care who or what he was destroying. His threat was so great that Thor had to summon Loki for help. The two Asgardians, along with Captain America and Falcon, fought trolls, but the tamed Midgard Serpent. On Earth, Iron Man managed to break Doom's control by showing him he was destroying the country he wanted to protect. Doom then gave up control of both the Serpent and the Destroyer. He returned to Latveria and calmly went inside his castle, warning the Avengers that they had bigger problems.
Unlike the others, it is revealed that Doom denied the invitation, so Red Skull claimed war on his head. He called for Captain America's help, but as a package deal, he received the Avengers. While trying to protect Doom, although still skeptical, the avengers engaged with the Cabal. To at least some trust points, Doom saved Captain America from Hyperion.

Doom is an incredibly proud and arrogant man, unwilling to work with anyone whom he considers beneath him or those he deems are too insane, such as the Red Skull. However, he is also extremely protective of his lands, and according to Black Widow, he would do whatever it takes to defend Latveria.
