Doctor Doom Vs. The Legion of Doom

 

This is a match up that I have been meaning to get to for a while now, it was just a matter of finding the right images. That's a pretty powerful Legion line up, but if there's anyone who can give them a challenge, it's Victor Von Doom.

And as the writings state it, the spoils go to the Victor! Great bit of story telling.

Great artistry, too! Francis Manapul and Rod Reis, huh? I would've sworn this was the handiwork of Dan Brereton and your near-namesake Alex Ross. The images are that life-like.

Well done, Mr. Pearsall! :-)

A great match!

And another idea. Spider-Man and Elliot (Pete's Dragon)

What they all said. :-D

Grodd, Luthor, Cheetah, and Sinestro? "Powerful line-up" is right! All that's missing would be a formidable, scheming Bat-villain like the Penguin or Ra's al Ghul.

And when it comes to finding the right images, this is also a home run. This cover looks like it was drawn as a single piece. Congratulations on a job extremely well done, Ross! It surely belongs in your Top 10.

You would think that Lex would give Victor a run for his money, but then you remember Lex likes to hide his misdeeds in the shadows. Not Victor.

"Who dares?"
"DOOM dares!"

Looks genuine!

Excellent rendering! Makes me wonder how these artists might handle Kamandi meeting the elves of ELFQUEST.

Bob Greenwade said...

What I think would be interesting would be a meeting of Canada's two more contrasted heroes: Wolverine and Dudley Do-Right.

@Anon358: sorry, dude! You'll have to shell out sixty cents; same as the rest of us.

;-D

Doctor Doom is a master of both magic and science so Luthor would have more trouble than some would think.

Glenn said...

Will part 2 be the Doom Patrol "who also took his name" bailing our the Legion of Doom?

Ross said...

That clash happened in 2014: https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2014/06/dr-doom-conquers-doom-patrol.html

Carycomic said...

In that case, the only near-namesake he has left to take on is...Doomsday!

Joseph said...

I’ve always wanted to see a sequel to “Dr. Doom Conquers the Doom Patrol” cover. Imagine Victor sending “Doom’s Patrol” to take on the Fantastic Four.

Carycomic said...

@Anon821: which dragon? The animated original voiced by Charlie Callas? Or the CGI version that looks more like a giant chia pet?

Bobbo said...

Also, there is a Doctor Doom that fought Batman in the 1950’s.

Not to mention Mad Doctor Doom from Archie Comics.

How about Cheetah vs. Cheetara from the Thundercats?
