::Personality:
-As much of a villain Doom may be, he is also a man of his word. He tends to show a sense of morality which many wouldn't believe he would considering the things he's done. One example of Doom's honor was shown years ago, when he wanted to steal the cosmic cube from M.O.D.O.K. When he realized that he would need Namor's help, he kidnapped his girlfriend. While she was held prisoner, one of Doom's soldiers attempted to rape her, but Doom prevented it and killed the soldier. He also risked his own life to save Namor when M.O.D.O.K. captured his pawn, because Doom respected the Sub-Mariner.

Short Bio:
-Victor Von Doom was born to noted healer Werner Von Doom and his wife Cynthia Von Doom, a witch. The Von Dooms were members of a gypsy tribe, traveling by caravan through various countries in Eastern Europe, including the country of Latveria. As gypsies, they were often harassed by the locals, accused of thievery and witchcraft, and were constantly on the move. Cynthia Von Doom grew tired of their status and longed for a homeland for her people. She made a pact with Mephisto for the power to protect her people. But Mephisto had tricked her, and when she couldn't control the power she was murdered by the Baron's soldiers, and Mephisto trapped her soul in his hellish dimension. Cynthia was buried in an unmarked grave, and Werner and his young son escaped with the tribe.

Werner Von Doom raised his son on his own for some years and avoided undue detection, but when he was called upon to heal the ailing wife of the Baron of Latveria he was forced to comply. Knowing that the Baron's wife would soon die despite his best efforts, he returned to the gypsy camp and was forced to flee into the mountains to save his life, taking his young son with him. Werner and Victor evaded capture by the Baron's men, but were forced ever higher into the snowy range. Shielding young Victor in his own meager clothing, Werner Von Doom collapsed but was found by his tribe some time later. Werner Von Doom would not survive, and entrusted his friend Boris to protect his son. Victor Von Doom was left embittered by this experience, swearing he'd make the whole human race pay someday for killing off his father, as they did with his mother when he was still a child.

After his father died, Victor discovered his mother's magical artifacts and began his studies into the occult as well as developing his innate scientific abilities. Either due to tales of his sheer brilliance or due to the technical sophistication of an insurgency campaign against the Baron led by Doom, his astounding reputation came to the attention of the dean of science at Empire State University in America, and Von Doom was offered a full scholarship. At Empire State, Von Doom first met both Reed Richards and Ben Grimm, two men who would go on to become his enemies in later years as Mister Fantastic and the Thing, respectively. Richards, in particular, represented a substantial threat to Von Doom's self-perceived superiority. Von Doom began conducting hazardous extra-dimensional experiments.

The focus of Von Doom's research was to construct a trans-dimensional projection device with which he could communicate with his dead mother. There was a flaw in the design which Richards pointed out to him, but Von Doom's pride prevented him from accepting Richards' advice and fixing the device before testing it. The machine worked perfectly for two minutes and 37 seconds, in which time Von Doom discovered that his mother was trapped in Mephisto's Hell. Then the device exploded, temporarily damaging Von Doom's face; the most recent retelling of Doom's origin attests that this was the work of Mephisto striking at him, and by some accounts, the facial damage amounted only to one cheek being marked with a small scar, a scar that Von Doom's incredible vanity magnified into a hideous disfigurement. Refusing to acknowledge his own fault in the matter, Von Doom blamed Richards for the accident, finding it easier to believe that Richards had sabotaged his work out of jealousy than to admit to his own imperfection.

Von Doom was expelled from school afterward, and traveled the world searching for a cure for his scarred face, which he viewed as a symbol of his failure. Eventually Von Doom discovered a village of Tibetan monks amongst whom he lived for a number of years. Mastering their sorcerous disciplines, he soon took control of the monastery and had the monks assist him in crafting a suit of body armor. In his eagerness to finish donning the suit and begin his new life as "Doctor Doom," however, he donned the armor's freshly-cast mask before it had been properly cooled, ensuring that if his face had not been seriously damaged before, it now most certainly was. This suit would become his trademark, and thanks to his technological enhancements, it puts him on par in terms of personal power with most superheroes in the Marvel Universe. After this, Doom returned to his homeland, overthrew the standing government, and crowned himself king. Ruling with an iron fist and an equally strong will, Doom began to redirect the small nation's resources to help him realize his goals. He also brought to the country of Latveria a renewed vigor and prosperity, unlike any of their neighboring countries.
