A recent Marvel comic, One World Under Doom #8, depicts Doctor Doom using a powerful new spell. Interestingly, this spell could foreshadow his tactics in the upcoming MCU film Avengers: Doomsday. In the story, Doom wields the full power of the Sorcerer Supreme. Furthermore, he faces a united army of heroes, including the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four.
To decisively end the battle, Doom creates a new spell specifically targeting the X-Men. As a result, this move demonstrates both his magical skill and strategic thinking. Additionally, this storyline hints at the kind of threat he may pose in the MCU.
Doctor Doom’s New Spell and Its Impact
Drawing on the chaos magic formerly used by the Scarlet Witch, Doctor Doom casts a spell that temporarily rewrites the genetics of every X-Men on the battlefield. As a result, this action denies them access to their mutant powers, thereby effectively sidelining them during combat. Moreover, it highlights Doom’s tactical ingenuity and dangerous potential.
The story notes that the Scarlet Witch’s similar feat during the House of M event inspired Doom. Consequently, by using this tactic, Doom demonstrates unprecedented magical ingenuity and, as a result, the ability to neutralize even the most powerful heroes..
Potential MCU Application in Avengers: Doomsday
This tactic could be adapted by the MCU’s Doctor Doom to even the odds against the confirmed lineup of heroes. Even without being the Sorcerer Supreme, a spell that rewrites mutant DNA could give him a decisive advantage, as the report highlights,
“if only for a moment.”
In addition, bringing this concept to the MCU could create dramatic battles that emphasize both Doom’s intelligence and magical abilities, providing thrilling moments for fans.
