I can see Marvel Studios opting to use some other Fantastic Four Foes at first, like Annihilus or the Frightful Four, as Doom has had multiple chances in the movies already. They have to get to him eventually though, he's too big of a character in the Marvel Universe to not include. Then they will have to face the problem of how to feature a character that has an unmoving mask that is never removed. - no head's up display cheat for Doom, I'd imagine.
Doom can be done by a no name actor like Vader was. Someone who will be happy to work for the credit.
ReplyDeleteFirestorm's comment here was beautiful. He can't change organics, but he can change Doom's armor to tin or paper! Maybe a helium balloon? And forget the ray gun.
Doom would use that as a prop while a remote weapon would attack FS.
On a different note, anyone who missed the season's end on Stargirl: Shiv found the Eclipso diamond and the Shade came in.
At least Firestorm looks to have the upper hand here. Von Doom could easily have the room filled with a virus as a safeguard against intruders who don't have their own breathing apparatus.
ReplyDeleteNice cover design.
I don't know, Fish. That's not a broom-handle Mauser Doom's wielding. In fact, it looks more like Mr. Element's trademark weapon! Which makes me wonder how it would affect someone who can transmute molecules? "Adversely," is the first word that springs to my mind.
ReplyDeleteClearly, Ross, you decided to "have fun" with the title.
ReplyDelete@Tobor: Don't forget that Syl Pemberton's back, looking for Pat.
An unmoving mask was no handicap for Hugo Weaving in "V for Vendetta".
ReplyDeleteProf. Stein's mind vs Doom's...
ReplyDeleteWow, yet another great cover! I’d buy this today...
ReplyDeleteThe dialogue captures Firestorm's personality perfectly. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd although I DID see that episode, not sure I'm liking all the spoilers, guys. Just saying.
Hey, how about Dr. Doom vs. the Klingons?
ReplyDeleteKorax: "And I thought KIRK was a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood!"
@emsley: Not to mention Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian.
ReplyDelete@Bob, we don't know if that's the real Sly.
ReplyDeleteRoss, I know Firestorm has met the X-Men, but what about Ororo by herself?
It could be a night of Storm Warnings! No oreo?
@Bob Greenwade: who's Pedro Pascal? And why shouldn't we mention him? Is he a bigger temperamental egomaniac than Ellen DeGeneres or something?
ReplyDelete@Cary: Pedro Pascal plays the title character on The Mandalorian, and does so without ever removing his face-covering helmet. I was adding him to emsley's point about Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta.
ReplyDelete(Pedro also plays Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984, with no mask at all.)
Haven't seen that one, yet. Will they (DC/WB) be releasing it this Xmas?
ReplyDelete@Cary: The current release date for WW84 is 2 October (that may change depending on developments with COVID-19).
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwaded: finally found out who you mean! I saw him on TV this past weekend as "Tovar" in THE GREAT WALL. Pretty good with twin swords. So, yeah, I can see him as an anti-Jedi butt-whupper.
