Preview of One World Under Doom #1 Sets the Stage…

For months, Doctor Doom has loomed quietly as Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme. His moves have been cloaked, with Latveria shrouded under a magical veil. Now, Doom steps into the spotlight, unveiling his grand scheme for world domination. In an unexpected twist, the first glimpse of One World Under Doom #1 reveals surprising alliances and strategies by the notorious Victor Von Doom.

The Rise of Doom’s Ambitious Plan

Crafted by the hands of Ryan North and illustrated by R.B. Silva, this tumultuous tale follows the Avengers and Fantastic Four. They struggle to penetrate Latveria but find their efforts stalled by a sudden press conference. This is where the real shocker drops: Doom has teamed with HYDRA. Baron Zemo, bowing to Doom’s will, pledges HYDRA’s support for his vision, promising to construct hospitals and schools.

Naturally, such announcements do little to ease the heroes’ suspicions. They’re convinced Doom has ulterior motives. Yet, he strides forward with his plan to reshape the globe under his rule.

Marshalling Resources and Allies

Doctor Doom is no stranger to world conquest ambitions. One World Under Doom, however, marks his most overt attempt yet. While he harnesses the might of the Sorcerer Supreme, he’s also utilizing his prowess as a diplomat. Building infrastructure seems benevolent, but the underlying game remains enigmatic.

In past schemes, Doom has relied on tactics like mass hypnosis. This time, he’s blending sorcery and politics. Combining powers and prestige, he aims to transform his rule into a global reality.

Navigating the Public’s Perception

It’s hard to mark a leader who builds schools and medical centers as the bad guy. Conversely, heroes threatening those institutions face significant public relations challenges. Doom’s strategy shows cunning, effectively dampening resistance. Defeating him in battle is one thing; swaying public opinion is another. When faced with shiny new hospitals, societies might hesitate to rally against One World Under Doom.

One World Under Doom #1 hits shelves on February 12, 2025. The saga continues, poised to challenge Marvel’s mightiest heroes with new trials and moral dilemmas. As Doom’s designs unfold, the lines between villain and ruler blur, promising a riveting chapter in the Marvel universe.
