What is Dr. Doom now? A villain or a hero?

In this Superhero Hype article on Yahoo, they talk about where Marvel's been going with the Fantastic Four's leading adversary in the One World Under Doom event, now making him look like a hero, based on how he's depicted leading at least a few teams in battle:
As filming for Avengers: Doomsday continues, a new preview of the comic book event One World Under Doom has revealed Doctor Doom leading the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, marking a major shift in Marvel’s current comics. As Doom battles Dormammu, the event sets the stage for unexpected alliances and power moves that could reshape the Marvel Universe.

Ahead of Doomsday, Doctor Doom is leading the Avengers in Marvel comics

Doctor Doom commands Earth’s greatest heroes in Marvel’s One World Under Doom, as shown in ComicBook’s exclusive preview of issue #5.

The event series depicts Doom as the declared ruler of the world, recognized by all global leaders. Though the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men initially oppose him, Doom eventually frees them from Dormammu’s trap. He then becomes Earth’s only defense against the invasion from the Dark Dimension.
And we're supposed to admire that Doom's somehow a good guy here? Sorry, but this is yet another insult to the intellect, and a story that muddles Doom's background as a villain for the sake of a story where we're apparently supposed to overlook how he's no different from Dormammu as somebody with world conquest designs on the mind.

It's just another sad excuse for portraying a villain who was depicted killing people before as somebody who all of a sudden becomes a hero, as if nothing ever happened. While here, the actual heroes, if anybody, are turned into second fiddles to his "leadership". Anybody who actually spends their money on this intellect-insulter has only made the "joke" so much worse.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
