Marvel may have made the bold decision to cast Robert Downey Jr. as the new Doctor Doom in the cinematic universe after his tremendous run as the Iron Man who‘had a heart’, but the reception his Doom would receive remains as uncertain as ever. One of the reasons behind this, of course, is his tragic transition from a fan-beloved superhero role into a supervillain one.

But that’s not all. As fans already know, Doom is one of the most vicious villains in the history of the MCU, and the perfect example of this is depicted inFortnitewith utmost accuracy. That said, if Downey Jr. decides to replicate all the horrors that his big baddie does to theFantastic Fourand other heroes in the game, then fans might as well be in for an ugly cry in the theatres.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Doom Has Some Really Heinous Crimes Up His Sleeve inFortnite
The perfect mixture of super-genius and megalomaniac, Victor von Doom is one of the most feared and formidable supervillains in the entirety of Marvel’s super-verse. While his works in the comics areenough to leave just anyone terrified of himto the core, his version shown inFortnitesurpasses even that level of terror and cruelty as it shows trophies of every hero he has killed.
As shared in tweet threads by@ScyanYT on X, Doom doesn’t hesitate to mold his arch-enemies into whichever form he deems fit. While the Fortnite Story Content Creator claims Doom couldn’t collect Thor’s hammer as a trophy as he’s“not worthy to move it,”the others faced far worse fates, especially the iconicFantastic Foursuperheroes.
For one, he turned Ben’s The Thing quite literally into a stone throne, with the poor thing’s arms serving as arm-rests by his side. Thenthere was Johnny’s Human Torch, who was met with an even more gruesome fate: His heart, snatched right from his chest and set ablaze in fire, served as the personal heater for“heating up Doom’s personal room.”

Then there was Sue’s Invisible girl who wasn’t shown any mercy either. Apparently, she is either“locked up”in a glass box that only has enough space to fit a chair in the middle, or that box is only there to“show off [that] she[‘s] dead.”As forReed’s Mr Elastic: He has been transformed into a ball, with his entire body stretched and tied in an incredibly torturous way.
Besides these 4, there’s Doctor Strange, who has his Eye of Agamotto necklace resting in a glass case to showcase Doom’s excellence in defeating him as well. Ultron’s there too, with his ruptured, hollow metal skull depicting the rough fate he faced. Adding to these are theSilver Surfer’ssurfboard and Magneto’s helmet, both seen broken in the most brutal manner possible.
Last but not least, hints of Moon Light getting defeated at the hands of Doom were also there as his badly battered crescent-shaped boomerang rested in a glass case with the supervillain. Even Galactus wasn’t spared by him, as his half-protruding badly damaged head confirmed. And, of course, Thanos’ crushed helmet also rested in a showcase with Doom.
Needless to say, all of these are enough proof of just why Victor von Doom is treated as such an intimidating and foreboding character in the MCU. That said, seeingRobert Downey Jr.—whose former superhero, ironically, sacrificed himself just to save his universe—in his role and committing such heinous crimes might as well leave fans bawling in those dark cinema halls.
Marvel Fans React to Doctor Doom’s Crimes inFortnite
As expected, fans have some of the most shocked reactions tothis series of revelationsof all the brutal crimes Doom holds up his sleeve inFortnite. To say the least, they are finding it all“morbid”to even deal with, coupled with all the other grim stuff the supervillain has done throughout his character arc.
All in all, here’s what those fans have to say on X:
Yeah ik, but honestly thats worst than death😭 hes a football now
Morbid… but then, Victor DID once wear his true love’s skin as magical armor, soooo…🤔
To be honest, that’s the most morbid and fucked up one (aside from Johnny’s 💀). Because you KNOW she’s there, because of her main ability of turning invisible. So she just slowly rotting on the fucking chair, it would honestly be more worse to SEE the corpse but your mind is…
Doom is morbid
yall Think he gone do it in the new movies? Imma be sick if he get Dr.Strange
Damn. That’s Grimm.
oh bro if it’s revealed to be RDJ under the mask for the skin MCU is going to be cremated (literally)
Jesus Christ Doom.I was NOT familiar with your game

To put it in a nutshell, these“trophies”are proof enough to confirm that Doctor Doom isn’t really a force to be reckoned with. With his crimes surpassing terror and ferocity by such massive margins, fans might as well brace themselves for some really heart-wrenching stuff ifKevin Feigeis really planning to bring this side of the supervillain out through Downey Jr.
