RUMOR: Surprising, Controversial Details About Doctor Doom's AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Backstory Revealed - SPOILERS

@SteviesRightFoo - It does but that makes it a more understandable motive for the GA thus if we're talking offscreen headcanon RDJ wrote to get into the role it need not be an issue IF any of this is true at all. It ultimately comes down to what he does as a result of his past, how well the actor sells the villainy of it all, how the heroes respond etc etc. The REASON why Doom does what he does is only ever realy gonna be a nitpick for nerds who are going to compare and cotrast to his comic origins.

@Matchesz - Which is kinda ironic since Darth Vader was based off of Doom

@CrimsonComet40 - true? That’s interesting if so

@Fogs - I have an entire storyline written about they could have pulled that out using the one who remains (Kang) as the tool for the retcon while also not needing to show any Kang again. It would have been the intro for the Next Avengers: God Loki would reach out to Thor to explain to him that something worse than Kang is coming. The while council of Kangs is found dead. Then we see a flashback of Dr. Strange and Clea finding a diying Mordo at the Dormmamnu dimension whose robes have been taken from him, his wounds too severe to heal. Turns out he had been lured out by Kaecilius, who remained a mindless one until the events of Loki S2. When Loki took control of the multiverse and allowed free will, he inadvertedly give some universes/timelines the chance to reshape as they would, should Kang not have previously erased them. That means four singularities matching the four basic elements appear in every universe (the F4), as in, that's a canon event in every timeline, it was meant to happen, and avoiding it was the real goal of the He Who Remains (and every other Kang, for the matter), for it would also mean the creation of its counterpart: DOOM. In every universe, four avatars of the force of creation, and one that balances them.

In the main MCU/Sacred Timeline, every trimmed branche was meant to avoid it.

So, the ultimate retcon is that the man destined to become Doom, who has studied both science and Mystic arts to master both had traveled to Kamar Taj, seeking wisdom from the Ancient One. The Ancient One used the Time Stone to see the posible futures: she took the less evil path. Had she gived him that kind of power would only make him an all powerful tyrant. Denying him of the knowledge he seeked would have caused Doom to start a world mystic war. The lesser of all the evils was to trick him, making him forget his identity and goals, and giving him a new personality as Kaecilius. So turns out, the Kaecilius of Dr. Stangre was Doom, Who even not knowing who he was, seeked power anyway. His while background as Kaecilius a lie created by the Ancient One so the events of Doctor Strange would come to happen. He Who Remains allowing this Timeline to existe as the Sacred one for it somehow prevented Doom from existing.

But after Loki S2, the ripple effects of free will undid everything, and the mindless one in Dormammu's dimensión, previously known as Kaecilius, suddenly remembers everything. He remembers his true purpose and his true name: Doom.

Enraged, his mind and ego hurt beyond comprehension, the mindless one gathered enought resources to hurt Dormmamnu himself, but he remained trapped in the Dark Dimensión. This event set up two other things - Clea went to the MCU looking for help (hence, the post-credit scene of DS:MM) while Mordo, learning about this on his hunt of people who use energy from the Dark Dimension, travelled there by himself. His mistake, for that way he created a bridge for Kaecilius/Doom to come back. He was severely wounded by Doom, who took his Green cloak and boots (and this, along with the scarring from his time as mindless one, sets up his starting physiscal appearance as classic Dr. Doom), who then leaves him and comes back to reclamin the political power of Sokovia (which we learn, was named Latveria before democracy came in and HYDRA settled in). And circling back, that's when Clea and Dr.Strange arrive to learn of this from the diying Mordo.

Somewhere else, in a different universe, the four elements that had been avoided all this time finally are allowed to exist, destined to face this Doom. These are the Fantastic Four from First Steps.

And that's it. Kang's gone, Kaecilius is retconed into Doom, the rivalry between Strange and Doom could be explored (alas, Doom & Triumph), Latveria and his political conections to Doom suddenly are a thing, and there is a coherente explanation as for why the F4 have not existed in the Sacred Timeline, and why Doom is now scarred and looking for revenge and control of the whole Multiverse.

Sorry I didn't writte in more detail, but it's kind of a long story, it would have taken a good chunk of a movie to put everything in its place. Hope you guys like it.

P.S: I also made some fan concept art of this Doom V1. based on the looks of Kaecilius, Mordo's wardrove, the scarring made from the Dark Dimension, and a rough script for all the events.

@JayBarrick - Nice one. To me it could be simpler: he's Doom all along and infiltrated Kamar Taj to have the powers to rescue his mother from hell. Since the Ancient One didn't see the future beyond her death, she thought she could've saved him from himself and ignored his imperfections and lies (just as she acted in DS1 after all).

They should've released a Triumph and Torment story before Doomsday to explain that.

Mikkelsen would've been a great Victor.

@DiegoMD - It’s an amazing backstory that’s being wasted.

@Feralwookiee - DINO

Doom In Name Only

@Feralwookiee - well Thanos wasn't a simp for Lady Death so.......
