Welcome to another 30 day challenge which in honor of spooky season will cover the topic of Pop Culture Villains!

We’re gonna go back and forth between various villain-associated tropes and archetypes and specific character spotlights, and today is a case of the latter as we discuss the ruler of Latveria and eternal Reeds Richards obsessive, the man who Toots As He Pleases, one Victor von Doom.
So for today, the main prompt is what do you think of Dr. Doom? What makes him work or not? What are his best/worst comic appearances?

Bonus prompt: Best and worst animated/live action adaptations?

Maniacal prompt: How should Robert Downey Jrs MCU Doom be handled?

Machiavellian Prompt: How evil should Doom be, and how powerful? How much should he be used?
