The Latverian Embassy

Welcome to the Latverian Embassy. On this Webpage, you will learn all there is to know about our humble monarch, Doctor Victor von Doom: His humble beginnings, his rise to power, and his landmark battles against the evil Fantastic Four and other likeminded scum of the planet. He is a man whose brilliance knows no limit and can break the seemingly unbreakable barrier of time. He is a man who has fought the evils of Hell and lived to talk about it. But most of all, He is a man dedicated to world peace; a world where all people live equally under the iron fist of a loving Master… Doom of course. At the Latverian Embassy, Doom receives the respect he so rightfully has earned. This site will take you into the mind of Doom; the journey will be that of immense pleasure. You will dabble in the mystic arts, seize the power cosmic, and most importantly, learn all there is to know about our gracious monarch Doctor Victor von Doom.


Doctor Doom is the greatest hero ever to grace the pages of Marvel Comics. Ever since his first appearance in Fantastic Four vol.1 #5 in 1962, readers have been enthralled by his brilliant nature and quest to rule the world. Doom's unpredictable nature makes him one of the most interesting and well-written characters in the Marvel Universe. Doom, over his 40 years in Marvel Comics, has encountered the best villains Marvel has to offer, and Doom always keeps them guessing.

FANTASTIC FOUR #567
Written by Millar
Cover and Art by Hitch

Did you read this issue? Seriously, before you read this write-up, did you read this? If you didn't, don't. Just go to your kitchen, pick up a melon baller, fill it full of salt, and place it to the side. Proceed to take out a steak knife and cut a tiny hole into your nipple (there is already one there technically, so this should be easy). Now, retrieve the melon baller full of salt and dip your nipple in it. That, amongst other things will leave you more satisfied than wasting you time on this abortion of a comic. Okay, If you did read this issue, I went down and lit a candle for you at the local Catholic church. Hopefully God will have mercy and not drive you to the point of insanity as he has me. I read this issue and now I can taste colors. I find George Lopez funny. Celine Dion is an angel. I am literally trying to think of a joke... and it isn't there. There is nothing funny about this issue. I would be less distraught if I walked in on Mark Millar and my grandmother having "relations." At least then I would have a new grandpa to play catch with. What did I get for reading this? I'm poorer, and now I watch Ben Affleck movies and think Well, it isn't that bad now that I've read FF 567. I do know this though. There will be a "Deus Ex Machina" moment to save us from this storyline. But it won't erase it from my brain... and that's the real tragedy. I mean, a megalodon? Really?

FANTASTIC FOUR #566
Written by Millar
Cover and Art by Hitch

So, he's wearing this bowling uniform, you know, like the kind they wear on 80's sitcoms when the dad goes out for bowling night. It's completely silly because not only can he not partake in the wonderful breakfast cereal his visage adorns, but he also shouldn't be able to bowl due to his lack of opposable thumbs . But I'll be darned if that's gonna stop him. The important thing to remember is that you can't play his little game if you consume the whole box of delicious fruity shapes. They are impertinent to the game. It's the random draw that makes Trix Fruitalicious Bowling the next big thing in food related sports. You will however have to supply your own scorecard after using up the initial one. Of course, you could always have a parent make copies. And remember, Trix is not for silly rabbits... it's for kids.

Okay, so I haven't been describing this issue of Fantastic Four. I've been describing the back of a Trix cereal box. This may leave you disappointed, but trust me, what I have described is not only more entertaining than FF 566, it is also more true to Doom's character. Seriously, this issue makes me sick to my stomach... or is that the ungodly amount of Trix I've been consuming as I type this? Either way, this issue sucked. Silly, Millar.

DOCTOR DOOM AND THE MASTERS OF EVIL #4 (of 4)
Written by PAUL TOBIN
Penciled by PATRICK SCHERBERGER
Cover by ROGER CRUZ

Well, this series couldn't have been more fun. Awww, who am I kidding? It could have been ten times more fun, but it was really good... and it is always fun to see Magneto get thrown around a bit. He's so freakin' overrated it sickens me. I mean, just because his movie character was well written and played by an actual actor, allofthesudden he's the "greatest" villain out there. He picks up metal, folks. Metal. A naked dude with a plastic shiv owns him 9 times out of 10.

I don't wanna ruin this issue for anyone, but have you ever seen the show Scrubs? It is exactly the same... but more comical.

DARK AVENGERS #4
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Pencils & Cover by MIKE DEODATO
Young Gun Variant Cover by STEFANO CASELLI

Didn't like this issue? Obviously you folks don't understand time travel. I myself, having just seen the new Star Trek movie, understand it completely. Let me break it down for you. You can't kill someone in the past or it will seriously affect the future... you can however throw them back to the time of dinosaurs where they are unable to do the things in the past they would have done otherwise (basically the same as killing them) without repercussions. Of course if you are Writer A, you can alter the past and it doesn't affect the future, it just starts an alternate timeline. And if you are Writer B, you can alter the past to change the current future. It really just depends on how you need to use time travel in your particular story. Consistency be damned!

 

 

 

Coming Soon!!
**Possible Spoilers**
(Anytime you read about future issues, the plot of current issues might be spoiled. Anybody who loves Doom knows about time travel... plus, sometimes I just straight up spoil it for ya. Read new issues the day they come out and you won't have this problem. So yeah, it's your fault.)

The biographies go into detail about The Master and other characters in close relation to him. Even if you are gifted with the knowledge of Doom, the history of Doom is still a great story.

Dr. Doom has made many Appearances in the Marvel Universe. Whether Doom is fighting for world peace against The Fantastic Four, or trying to free his mother's soul from Mephisto, Doom is always popping up in one title or another.

Doom rules! Yeah, we've all said it, but did you know that you are not just making a statement of how awesome Doom is? He actually does rule. He is the monarch of a small Balkan nation known as Latveria. Sure, it's small, but we all know it's not the size of your country; it's how you rule it.
