Welcome back to The Doctor Doom Cast! We continue our journey through the world of all things related to the greatest supervillain of ALL TIME, the legendary Doctor Victor Von Doom!
In this episode, we review "Fantastic Four #23, The Master Plan of Doctor Doom!" and the great two part origin story of the man himself in "Fantastic Four Annual #2, The Origin of Doctor Doom" and "The Final Victory of Dr. Doom".
Join us on a journey that looks at more Doom greatness and classic insults! We discuss the good doctor's humble beginnings in Latveria, his time at college (Was Doom a "Seinfeld" fan? Will Jerry Seinfeld come on to give his views on that?) and his first encounters with Reed Richards and Ben Grimm.
From there, we cover the under-appreciated Bull Brogan, Handsome Harry Phillips, and Yogi Dakor (We want spinoffs dedicated to these three!), more examples of Reed Richards' casual sexism, the chance that the Torch needs one of those daytime lawyers for mesothelioma, the odd recruiting tactics of American colleges when it comes to European science students, and the lessons we learned about diplomatic immunity and South Africa from the 1989 Mel Gibson action classic, "Lethal Weapon 2".
Listen now! Doom commands it!
