Character Bio - After years of failing to best Reed Richards by means of science, Doctor Doom struck a bargain with a trio of demons known as the Hazareth Three and sacrificed the one woman who loved him in exchange for increased mystical abilities. Taking advantage of Reed's difficulty understanding magic, Doom tormented the Fantastic Four and even went so far as trapping Reed's son, Franklin, in Hell. Doom finally lost the upper hand when Reed tricked him into angering the Hazareth Three, who stripped Doom of the powers they had granted him and kept him prisoner in Hell.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Doctor Doom is a high-risk/high-reward unit. He can elevate himself to truly astonishing power levels, but be careful not to overreach.
• Doom has few direct synergies, aside from the obvious Doombots. Doom is a bit of an OM hog, since he can only get extra Mystic Domination turns if OMs are revealed on his own card. Thus, he prefers the company of support units that require few OMs to function. Judge Fear, Angel (Liam), Angel (Warren), and Jason Voorhees are of particular interest, but tie-down and turn-denial units could also be explored. Anything to bog down the opponent while Doom blasts away.
• One or two Doombots is never a bad choice for Doom. More than two is pushing your luck; eventually, Doom will get burned and lose all his powers, and at that point any remaining Doombots probably aren't worth the 95 points each you allotted them. Reviving a powerless Doom just isn't as helpful or satisfying as bringing him back at the peak of his abilities.
• Think carefully about how quickly you want to stack up Invocation Markers on Doom's card. Taking one early is probably a good idea, but you may want to wait until later on, when Doom is in danger, to take the third and final marker.
