Doom is rarely seen outside his iconic armor, so his appearance is mostly a mystery. What is known is that he is horribly disfigured, to the point of inspiring nightmares upon gazing at his ugly visage.

His classic appearance is that of a man clad entirely in iron. A brutal, Inquisitorial executioner. His brutal armor design, combined with his flowing green cape, invokes the image of death itself.

Victor von Doom was born in a Romani camp outside Haasenstadt, Latveria. His mother, Cynthia, was killed in a bargain with Mephisto gone wrong. His father, a brilliant medical doctor, was left to raise young Victor. Despite his father's attempts to care for her, a noblewoman died under his care and Werner von Doom fled with a young Victor on a cold winter's night. Victor survived the cold, but unfortunately his father did not. Doom sought to increase his knowledge of both science and magic in order to rescue his mother, whose death he blamed on Mephisto. And he did! By secretly combining technology and sorcery, Victor made a name for himself with a number of miraculous inventions, including a robotic duplicate of himself dubbed a Doombot. Eventually his shenanigans ripping off people with his inventions got him arrested, and he was slated to be killed. However, he escaped his own execution by replacing himself with a Doombot. Fleeing to the states, he pursued a college education. This is where he met his friend and eventual arch-nemesis, Reed Richards.

He eventually developed a machine designed to take him to and from Hell itself to rescue his mother. Reed pointed out a flaw in Doom's calculations, but Doom arrogantly ignored his warnings, feeling Reed was trying to upstage him. The machine exploded, scarring Doom's face. After the accident, despite his only injury being a single scar, Victor was horrified that his always perfect face had been "tainted". He was soon expelled for conducting unethical experiments. From then on, he blamed Reed Richards for the destruction of his face as well as his expulsion. Victor then ran away to the Himalayan mountains, and ended up joining a group of Tibetan monks. He soon put them to work building him an awesome suit of armor to enhance his power and hide his face. He was so eager to get the damn thing on, that he put on the metal mask before it cooled down, messing up his face even more.

This armor magically severed his physical connection to the world, shielding him from the nightmares and transforming him into a cold engine of logic, thus he took the name: Dr. Doom.

#1. Supergenius level intellect- Doom is one of the smartest men on the planet. He is a master strategist, inventor, and holds multiple PHD’s. Doom specializes in physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, biochemistry, and time travel. He also has natural talents for leadership, strategy, politics, and manipulation.

#2. Peak Human Conditioning- Doom has trained his body to the level of the finest human athlete. He is well-built, fast and agile. He has also displayed great reflexes and equilibrium. His physical strength and durability surpass even those of Daredevil.

#3. Master Martial Artist- During his time in Tibet, Doom was trained in martial arts by the monks. He is vastly skilled in many combat techniques, both armed and unarmed, and can achieve very powerful nerve strikes. His combat skills are so great that he managed to kill a lion with his bare hands, to beat Daredevil in hand-to-hand combat and to wield Captain America's Shield as proficiently as Steven Rogers himself.

#4. Indomitable Will- Doom has a great willpower. He was able to resist psychic attacks from Emma Frost and the Purple Man using only his will, to reject the mystical armor that the Soulsword provides the wielder on sheer willpower alone and while he was tortured in hell, he refused to let a single audible indication of pain exit his mouth.

#5. Highly Influential Connections- As Monarch of Latveria, Doctor Doom has access to technological and military hardware. Also has command of conventional military forces; see Doctor Doom's Generals.

#6. Diplomatic Immunity- As the leader of a sovereign nation, Doctor Doom often visits the United States or the United Nations for political reasons. He enjoys diplomatic immunity during these trips, and his embassy is considered foreign soil. He has even been escorted by Captain America himself.

#7. Artist- Doom has shown himself to be a talented artist. He painted a duplicate of the Mona Lisa while using Layla Miller as his model.

#8. Pianist- Doom has shown himself to be a talented pianist. He has played various compositions of his own creation.

Mystical Blasts
Mystical Force-fields
Invoke Entities
Spell Casting
Summoning
Teleportation
Dimensional Travel
Mystical Ensnaring
Mystical Portals
Mind Transference: By training with an alien race, Doom has gained the ability to switch his mind with that of another nearby human being with whom he has made eye contact, a process which he learned from the alien Ovoids. However, Doom prefers his own body and only uses this transference power as a last resort.
Hypnotism:

#1. Powered armor- Doom's armor is one of the craziest pieces of personal protection in the world. Powered by a micro nuclear reactor and built of high strength titanium, it easily matches the iron man armor and in some cases, exceeds it. With it, he's strong enough to lift buildings, survive blows from Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, and one-shot the Incredible Hulk. It is also equipped with a force field, jet boosters, and various energy blasters. Its magical barriers and separation from the physical world also give him immense resistance to reality warping and telekinetic attacks. The suit even has pieces of the true cross embedded within to protect him from Dracula and other undead enemies.

#2. Molecular expander. Via unknown methods, this device can enlarge objects doom keeps with him. Useful for turning tiny pebbles into humongous boulders.

Personality: Jimmy is very reticent, keeping things close to the vest. He prefers to maintain a professional appearance removing himself from any potential drama that may surround a particular subject. Jimmy is able to control his emotions so that they do not carry him away. He can be very pensive, but believes that right will always triumph over evil. He believes in the goals of S.H.I.E.L.D. and its leaders, Mr. Coulson and Colonel Fury. It is rare to get a rise out of Jimmy Wu. His combat sports training keeps him placid, focused.

Backstory:
Wu's mother, Lijuan, is a Fu Style Wudangquan (Wu Tang; Wu Shu style) and Tai Chi grandmaster, while his father, Bing Wu, is a newspaper editor. Wu was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. When he was two years old, his family moved to Hong Kong, and then to Boston, Massachusetts, United States, when he was 11. His younger sister, Nicole Wu, is also a martial artist.

At a young age, under the influence of his mother, Wu developed an interest in martial arts and began experimenting with various styles, including Tai Chi and other traditional Chinese martial arts. Wu then started karate when he was nine. He focused on practicing Wushu seriously at the age of fourteen after dropping out of school. His parents were concerned that he was spending too much time in the Boston Combat Zone where he was constantly getting into fights, so they sent him to Beijing on a two-year training program with the Beijing Wushu Team. Wu decided to return to the United States at the conclusion of his training program, and started training in taekwondo around the age of sixteen.

Wu also came from a family of musicians. His mother is a soprano, in addition to being a martial arts teacher in Boston, while his father is a violinist. From a young age, he was taught by his parents to play musical instruments, including the piano. He excelled at the keyboard and still plays to this day.

Jimmy considers himself a mixed martial artist, competing in various MMA competitions around the world, both in the US and in Asia. In his late teens and for many years later, he focused on his taekwondo, earning a 6th Dan. Jimmy Wu won gold medals in Wushu competitions both in the US and in China.

Wu later went on to discover and to seek knowledge on other martial arts styles; obtaining black and purple belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu respectively. He studied the art of Parkour, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing under various trainers. Having the ability to train in both the United States and in China helped to diversify his talents and round out his skills in the various martial art forms. His MMA experience helped him to become one of the world's best fighters.

At age 30, Wu had the opportunity to add a new martial arts system to his arsenal. He worked hard and studied Wing Chun under Ip Man's eldest son, Ip Chun, for 9 months. Ip Chun has since praised Wu for his effort, and complimented that Wu is a great martial artist and a fast learner, managing to grasp the full concept of Wing Chun much faster than anyone else he has taught.

Jimmy Wu believes combining many martial arts together will produce the most effective and harmonious style. He believes in practical combat, and in his opinion, MMA is the most authentic type of practical combat.

At the age of 34, while training on Kowaloon Peak, Jimmy Wu made a discovery that would forever alter the direction of his life. He finished running the trails up and down the mountain, a routine he uses for conditioning and discovered an abandoned cave. He entered the cave out of curiosity. In the deep dark recesses of the cave, he discovered three clay pots. One such pot smashed open revealing an ancient Chinese relic that may have lain dormant for a few millennia. When he opened what can only be described as a very ornate jewel box, it released a yellow opaque mist that Jimmy could not avoid breathing in. The mist knocked him unconscious for several hours. When he awoke, it was very dark. He was still holding the ancient relic in his hands, leaving the cave to return home. He later realized he had been asleep for eight hours.

Within a week, he began to discover a new ability, teleportation. While viewing a photograph of himself taken on Boston Common, in the state of Massachusetts on the other side of the planet, he got lost in his thoughts and without intentions found himself sitting on the grass in the capital city of the Bay State. Naturally, he was astonished recognizing the State House rising in front of him with its golden dome and statues of John F. Kennedy and Civil War General Joseph Hooker. Standing in Boston only a second after sitting on the floor of his residence in Hong Kong made him question reality and try desperately to figure out how he had traveled to the other side of the world in less time than it takes to blink.

He spent the next year testing his teleportation ability and found himself traveling all over the world, never having to use public transportation again. He even experimented with implementing this ability into his mixed martial arts fighting style. He has trained himself to teleport in short distances in order to obtain an advantageous position on an opponent. This method works well for getting out of a disadvantageous position. He includes his teleportation ability in his daily training regimen.

Two years after discovering his teleportation ability, Jimmy Wu found that he also has the ability to summon a person, creature or object from any location in the world to his current location. This is an ability that is quite taxing on his energy. He is fatigued whenever he uses this ability and has successfully only summoned six people continuously before passing out. He practices summoning when able, but he has not determined how to increase his stamina during the summoning process.

At the age of 39, Jimmy found himself in a peculiar position where he did not want to be seen. He wished himself hidden and slowly discovered that he was able to change his appearance to that of his background. Regardless of what attire he wore or where he was, he could mentally alter his appearance to that of the surrounding terrain; natural or man-made. This dynamic camouflage has enabled him to hide himself successfully in any open air environment. The risk with this ability is, anyone who can see or detect infrared signatures will be able to see Jimmy's body heat even if he appears something other than what he is.

For the past eight years, Jimmy has been employed as a member of Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) working with Phil Coulson and Colonel Nick Fury. Jimmy continues to train in Martial Arts, even competing from time to time in UFC title bouts. He includes his special abilities in his training; hoping to improve or unlock additional abilities that may have come from the ancient Chinese Relic he found that day on the mountain in Hong Kong.

Skills:
Training and experience in several martial arts styles to include: Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Wrestling, Wushu, Tai Chi, Karate, and Hung Ga. He holds a 6th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo (6th Dan), black belt in Judo, Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Gold Medals in Wushu Competitions.

Jimmy Wu is also an experienced Pianist, able to play even the most challenging of pieces. He does enjoy playing more modern forms of music rather than classical compositions from Franz Schubert, Frederic Chopin, Wolfgang Beethoven or pieces of similar quality.

His martial arts training has enabled him to acquire a refined skill in several martial arts weapons including the Katana, Kamas, Bō Staff, Nunchakus and the tonfa.

Powers/Abilities:

* Teleportation - Jimmy can teleport, or transfer matter, including themselves or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them or consuming an unnecessary amount of time by using quantum superposition by replacing and restocking energy in a spatial behavior. Jimmy can teleport to any place that he can currently see or to any place he has ever been to. Viewing a photograph of a location on the planet he has been to will help him move to that location if it has been a long time since he has teleported there. Jimmy has learned to u se this teleportation ability to create Flash Step, which is the ability to use small bursts of speed combined with his teleportation ability to move to random places rapidly in the same area or stretched out over a distance to give the appearance of flying.

* Summoning - Jimmy can transport a person, creature, or object of choice by means of teleportation. This ability creates an immediate connection between the summoned and summoner. Jimmy is fatigued every time he uses this particular ability. After summoning six people or objects, he is completely exhausted and must rest or risk dropping into unconsciousness.

* Dynamic Camouflage - Jimmy has the ability to alter his appearance in order to blend in with the coloration and form of his background to avoid optical perception. He can affect his attire by means of "static camouflage." He cannot alter the heat his body emits and would be detected by anyone with the ability to see heat signatures as in thermal based night vision devices.

HYDRA during WW2, in an independent project attempted to create their own super-soldier in a project only a few select individuals knew about. The project named NEMEAN for the Lion Hercules battled in his first labor. The soldier was created using DNA from Red Skull himself and Julia Koenig (Warrior Woman). Grown in a test tube what emerged was a child with limitless lethal potential.

At age 8 the project took a dark turn, typical hypnosis wasn't working on the boy. Due to a side-effect from the super-soldier serum. The scientists raising him up to that point began trying to control the boy through logical methods. Such as reading the boy Mein Kampf, and trying to trigger his potentially evil genes. It was at this same time they started installing discipline in the boy through The Hand. They had brought in outside help to train the boy in martial arts and various weapon use.

At age 10 they gave the boy an identity, Leo, very fitting for the project. His first encounter with Red Skull went as well as could be hoped. In a sparring match with the boy Red Skull resorted to pummeling the child after being humiliated in fair combat. Leo never forgot the experience. Even without knowing he was his biological father he was drawn to Johann and requested to get accounts on all the man did thereafter.

When his idol fell to the hands of Captain America, Leo began taking his training more seriously. The HYDRA division that still stood intensified training finding more outlets than just The Hand and themselves to train Leo. It was at this time in his life he began taking a special liking to the bow. He had one custom made that had a custom draw weight of 275 lbs, and he began training more exclusively with the bow.

When Leo became 18 he had a total of 77 confirmed kills with his bow alone. All of them officers for the allies, however before his latest and greatest mission to assassinate Nick Fury Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker stepped in. Seeing Leo as a threat to his revenge and redemption he had the young man frozen in cryo-stasis. However quickly after the decision to freeze him was made the Baron's plans were thwarted leaving Leo abandoned in a forgotten lab. Without aging a day he remained there for nearly 70 years.

SHIELD discovered the abandoned base and was able to successfully defrost Leo, who due to the primitivity of the containment had no recollection of his HYDRA mission to assassinate Fury. He only remembered being in HYDRA and the beliefs instilled in him. Due to their being no hypnosis, it was easy to make him see the error of his ways. After going through rehabilitation similar to what Steve Rogers went through he was able to adjust the best he could to society. Even with the soulless genes instilled in him Leo still had no heart for hurting people, he was just doing what he thought was for the greater good during his original time.Leo was assigned the alias "The Scarlet Arrow" by SHIELD operatives, it seemed fitting due to his attire and skills.
