Victor Von Doom AKA Doctor Doom:
Smartest man in comics. I’m happy to argue. Reed Richards, Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Hank Pym . simply can’t hold a candle to this guy. Another misunderstood character who I don’t consider to be a villain, whose whole character development revolves around his rivalry with the Fantastic Four. He has a great relationship with the daughter of Susan Storm and Reed Richards, Valeria Richards. She views him as an UNCLE rather than a villain. That is the viewpoint through which us Marvel fans should try and understand Doom’s character, rather than just writing him off as another villain. He was able to cure Ben Grimm of his ‘Thing’ condition, despite Reed Richards failing to do so, and runs a COUNTRY. Multi-talented and relatable. Fantastic character.
