When it come to supervillain class , nobody beats the Fantastic Four ’s arch - scourge Doctor Doom . But despite his imperviable metallic element suit and weapons - level lordliness , Doom has been knocked down a peg more time than he ’d like to admit . Here are 10 of the Latverian dictator - for - life ’s most embarrassing moment — they involve squirrels , afters , and witching trumpets .
10 . ) Doom gives toys to tots
In 1969 , Jack Kirby drew upthis sketchof a vacation prayer poster for Toys For Tots . As you may see on the right hand , that ’s Victor Von Doom venerably patting some unsuspicious nestling on the shoulder .
Was he infect the stupid moppet with a nanotech computer virus that will transubstantiate his Little League squad into mandrill - similar abominations ? Indubitably . The autocrat was excised from the net draught .
9 . ) Doom is lecture while eating lima bean chowder
1977’sMighty Marvel Superhero Cookbookfeatured this jarring tableau of the Scarlet Witch scream at Doom before a bowling ball of steaming legumes . Nobody interrupt Doom ’s soup ! on occasion he forces his subjects to have parfaits , but that ’s neither here nor there .
8 . ) Doom hides behind Henry Kissinger
In 1976 , Doom got so damn old-hat of the Fantastic Four mucking up his plans that he invoked the powers ofinternational realpolitik .
For a guy rope who ’s wielded the powers of the immortal space gods , this seems like an awfully otiose machination . And he did n’t even transmute Kissinger into some genus of mutant snake hominid , a conundrum Ronald Reagan once weathered .

Sure , that day of the month ended with her being trapped inside a chrome statue and being replaced with a robotic clone , but they stayed on speak term afterwards . That says a lot .
So yes , it was a shade bizarre to see the supervillain reenact the opening minutes of Braveheart inSuper - Villain Team - Up # 7 . When Doom ’s not forcing tiramisu down their throats , it ’s all jus primae nocti . Latveria ’s a weird place .
6 . ) Doom shine off a drop-off with a large number of wolves in tow
Incidentally , this is how Super - Villain Team - Up # 7 ends . Given the way superhero comic strip workplace , I ’m pretty sure those smushed wolves are due for a hologram - overcompensate resurrection issue .
5 . ) Doom gets a cupcake to the font
In 1991 ’s Avengers # 333 , Doom invaded the Avengers home base and held the superteam surety with a neutron bomb .

Fortunately for Rage ( and all of his stunned 1990s extremity ) , he had pastry - assaulted a menial Doombot .
4 . ) Namor hat Doom ’s euphony
In the seventies , Spidey Super Stories were a children ’s line of comicstied in with the World Wide Web - slinger ’s appearing on the Electric Company .

Here ’s a sample distribution of Doom ’s indignity ( viahereandhere ) .

When Doom pass over town on the $ 200 fee , Cage borrows the Fantastic Four ’s jet , flies to Latveria , and beats the know perdition out of Doom . All together now , “ Where ’s my money , honey ? ”
