Robert Downey Jr. is coming back to the MCU, just not as Iron Man. The actor revealed during San Diego Comic-Con that he would be going from hero to villain when he debuts as Victor von Doom in 2026’s Avengers Doomsday. You may know Doctor Doom from his appearances in the Fox Fantastic Four movies, and for his usual role as that team’s biggest antagonist, but he’s much more than that in the comics.
Doom has starred in a long list of amazing stories that have fleshed out, redefined, and rebuilt the character as one of Marvel’s best players on the grandest universal scale. If the MCU’s version is anything like the Doom in the comics, moviegoers are in for a treat. But 2026 is a long way away, so until then get to know Doom with these seven comics.
