Doom’s Plan in the MCU Has Allegedly Been Revealed – and It’s Something That Comics Fans Have Been Expecting
The last few weeks have been massive for the fans of the MCU. ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ has been released, which Feige teased is the start of the “mutant era” in the MCU. There was also Marvel Studios’ SDCC panel which revealed the title of ‘Avengers 5’ and presented Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
Considering everything that’s been teased in the last few weeks, and everything we know regarding scoops and leaks, we think we have a pretty good idea with ‘Secret Wars’ and everything preceding it will be about.
MyTimeToShineHello shared an interesting scoop/theory on social media and it pretty much explains why Robert Downey Jr. said “same task, different mask” when he revealed himself as Doctor Doom.
Doom isn’t truly evil; he believes he’s saving the Multiverse from incursions. According to his twisted logic, the only way for the Multiverse to survive is to unify all universes in one place (Battleworld) under his rule. He sees this as the sole path to ensuring survival for everyone.
In the comics, during the ‘Time Runs Out’ event the Earth is threatened by the so-called Incursions, the events which set up Earth-616 on a collision course with alternate realities. These Incursions are the result of Beyonders’ attempts to destroy the multiverse. The Illuminati, who at this point are forbidden from existing, form a series of highly unethical plans to destroy the worlds that were about to collide with Earth-616. These plans included using Infinity Gauntlet, and several highly destructive weapons designed by the members of the factions.
Ultimately, Doctor Doom “saves” the day by stealing the power of Beyonders and recreating one reality from a patchwork of several different realities and naming it Battleworld. He starts ruling Battleworld as God-Emperor Doom, and the storyline ties directly into ‘Secret Wars.’
Plenty of fans are excited about this prospect, naming the proposed character arc as accurate and something they have been expecting:
