That\u2019s the question that ends up on the table \u2014 and nobody has a clean answer.\r\n\r\nJason, Scott, and Steven dig into what makes Doom work as a character (and what breaks him). They get into *One World Under Doom*, Hickman\u2019s Fantastic Four run, Doom\u2019s unlikely relationship with Valeria Richards, his alliance with Namor, the \"Doom would never strike a woman\" John Byrne moment, and why RDJ has a lot to prove. They also make the case for why Doom sits somewhere between villain, despot, and reluctant hero \u2014 and why that\u2019s exactly what makes him dangerous to get wrong in the MCU.\r\n\r\nGrab the books they talked about at multiverse.shop.
