Alias:[B] Baron Doom
[B]Gender: Male
Age: 55 years old
Appearance (description/picture):[B]
[B]Costume:Hero/Villain: Unpredictable|Anti-Hero, or at worst, Anti-Villain
Personality/motives:History He sees himself as needing to be the most powerful inhabitant of the entire world, not just for personal gain, although that sure is nice, but so he can protect the people in the world. He is arrogant, a braggart and prideful. Sometimes, he has even forgotten his virtues altogether and has gone on petty quests for revenge. He has expanded Latveria from a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean into a much larger country, and has been a very competent and benevolent leader, causing the country to thrive even more than the nations of Qatar, Japan and the United States.
Powers: Baron Von Doom is an extremely powerful magic-user and super humanly intelligent scientist. He can fight with both technological innovation and extremely potent spells that can make even most renowned and famous sorcerers cringe at the thought of face him. He is enormously good at planning and manipulation. Far less important, but still very important is the fact he can lift up to 2 tons in his armor. (His armor, by the way, is enormously durable, and guards him against many mundane and magical/cosmic assaults, but is far from invulnerable).
Baron Doom is an extremely powerful Sorcerer and an indescribably intelligent scientist. He was a competitor in science with Reed Richards and a competitor in Sorcery with Doctor Stephen Strange. Victor Von Doom had a science experiment which he attempted to launch despite Dr. Richard's protests that it wasn't safe. In the aftermath, his face was scarred, and unable to be restored with facial reconstructive surgery. Later he journeyed to the Himalayas and made his way with Stephen Strange to the top of the mountain where the Ancient One taught magical secrets. Victor learned magical powers that he thought was impossible, and he earned much praise from the Ancient One for his magical genius. Stephen Strange, however, proved to be highly more powerful and skilled with the magical arts. Stephen Strange earned the title of Sorcerer Supreme even though Doom thought he was a better sorcerer.
At first Doom was not too disappointed. He had thought that he could at least finally learn how to restore his face with the right magical spell. The Ancient One sadly informed him that because of the Cosmic nature of his experiment, and the energy that had wounded him, it would take until Doom was a very old man until he could restore his image. Victor Von Doom thought that the Ancient One had been deceiving him and leading him into a false hope, toying with him for amusement. As a result, Victor Von Doom murdered him, despite the Ancient One's far superior experience and magical powers, through the use of an artifact, called the Sceptre of Dormammu. As a result, Victor Von Doom had weakened the Earth Dimension's defenses against Dormammu, allowing the alien god access into the world.
Doctor Strange took the artifact from Victor Von Doom, and defeated him in a duel of Sorcery. Doom was cast out of the Ancient One's dwelling on the mountain top.
For the next few years Baron Von Doom had a staunch rivalry with both Stephen Strange and Reed Richards. He feigned a peaceful gesture and invited them both to a Complex on the island that would become the Kingdom of Latveria in later times. His ruse was so well put on, acted and charming, that it worked. When Stephen and Reed had both arrived on the shores of Latveria, they were welcomed by hospitable people and enjoyed themselves, at first. Unfortunately the fun times were not to last. After the first hours on the island, they found themselves unconscious, and in the presence of a gloating Baron Von Doom. Doom planned to scar them both as revenge for their opposition, and nearly succeeded. Fortunately for Doctor Fantastic (Reed Richards), and Doctor Strange, Zatanna, Clea, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch and Thing all arrived and defeated the Sorcerer.
For the past handful of years Victor Von Doom has proven to be significantly more well behaved and honest. He has protected the world against Galactus during his last asault on Earth, and has been looked on as less of a threat than previously. He merely wants to be a great ruler, sorcerer and man of knowledge now. Petty revenge is no longer in his interests.
