Summary
Warning : Spoilers for X - military personnel # 29!For now at least , Doctor Doomis leading his mutant squad better than Professor Xavier led theX - Menin the past tense . Doctor Doom was never much of a team player in his lifetime , very seldom being uncoerced to share the spotlight with anyone . More recently , though , he has taken to playing mentor to a young grouping of mutants , not too different from the humble beginnings of Charles Xavier ’s X - Men .
go - Men#29 – by Gerry Duggan , Joshua Cassara , Marte Gracia , VC ’s Clayton Cowles – revealed the origin taradiddle for Doctor Doom ’s Modern squad of variation . When it is discover that there were variation unaccounted for in Latveria , Wolverine , Ms. Marvel , and Shadowkat make a trip-up to get them , lead to a tense exchange with Doctor Doom .
As they find out , Doom takes an approach to nurturing his students not unlike Xavier , though Doom does one affair that Xavier could not : give these mutants a estate to roam free . In this particular signified , the Latverian body politic is succeeding for Doctor Doom ’s variation whereProfessor Xavier ’s Krakoa failed .
Doctor Doom Nurtures Mutants like Xavier Couldn’t
When the X - Men arrive to Latveria , they fulfil Doctor Doom ’s equivalent to the X - Men , which he acknowledges as hisDaggers of Latveria , including Nerium , Volta , Slag , Ironcloak , and Dreamer . Doom ’s mutant put their powers on full presentation in as they battle the X - trio . Nerium is shown to have plant - like ability , say to be the definition of Latveria in body and thinker . Slag is made out of Latverian molten lava rock , making him virtually unkillable . Sibling refugee Dreamer and Ironcloak were the only single not to engage , as Doom seemed to require a fair three - on - three fight , depriving a vitrine of their powers for now .
Interspersed with the fight are flashback of how Doctor Doom recruited each member of his mutant squad . The run away theme of each enlisting is that Doom just offers love , care , a home to live in , and a space to hone their abilities . His approach is not unlike that of Charles Xavier ’s during the early day of the X - Men , back when he still had a schooling . The critical difference is that Xavier no longer has a schooltime nor a nation to house any of his mutants under . By direct contrast , Doctor Doom taps into his best science as a villain to make an X - Men of his own design .
Doctor Doom Showcases His Best Asset As a Complex Villain
Doctor Doom was never an over - the - top scoundrel with one grand , ludicrous plot after another . or else , Doom ’s plans have often found him going out of his way to be better than the hero , but out of spitefulness , such as when he forced his mode intobecoming Valeria Richards ' godfather , word it as a retaliation against Reed . The retaliation was n’t Doom incorporating Val into his schema , but rather being a good parental image than Reed ; one who , sometimes , Val likes more than her old serviceman . His paternalistic coming to his mutant enforcers is n’t much unlike . In this sentiency , it would come out as thoughDoctor Doom’sX - Menwere created to prove he can lead a teambetter than Xavier .
