Ten of a Kind: Doom Triumphant

Comics Shall Bow Down Before Doom!
Attention, lackeys! Doom is informed by the tiny bovine that Sundays are "Ten of a Kind" Day, and while Doom would normally honor this committment by publicly displaying the shackled, helpless bodies of the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, the Silver Surfer, the traitorous dog Hauptmann, and that whelp who calls herself "Squirrel Girl," he has given his word that he shall in fact display ten comics covers on a single theme. That theme is hereby declared as "Doom Triumphant!" Each of these covers display my mighty hand in besting those inferior to me! And to prove that Doom is not bound by the limits of ordinary man or bull, there shall be not ten, but eleven covers displayed for you to cower in fear at the power of Doom!

Let us begin!
























“What if?” ”What if”? What matter of effrontery is this that postulates Doom is not a hero to his native land in this and every other universe? Mark my words, the base microbes behind this so called “funny book” shall be hunted down and made to pay for the gall of daring to insult Doom! Quake in fear, Don Glut and Fred Kida! Ink your last, Dave Simons, for your time on this Earth is soon at an end! Carl Gafford, you shall taste the vengeance of Victor von Doom and rue the day you colored this insult with anything other than your own blood! Tom Orzechowski, you shall live as an example to those who come after you that Doom can be both ruthless and merciful. But most of all I shall destroy Richards! Richards! I shall destroy you! Destroy you!

(Bah! More Ten of a Kind here.)

  1. Now wait a minute. Dazzler vs Galactus I can buy, but CAGE vs DOOM?

    Cage is the man, but he must have had his ass handed to him.

  2. Lord Doom grudgingly admitted that Luke Cage is one of the few who bested him, Mr. Mills! There's a good paraphrasing of the issue here and one of the best Dr. Doom panels of the story--oh, heck, the best Dr. Doom panel, ever--is right here.

    It's all in the Essential Luke Cage volume. Sweet Christmas, it's fun!

  3. Doom's pose on the first cover is awesome:

    "Awwww yeah! You chumps are soooburned! Boo-yah!"

    Thanks for this series. I clearly wasn't paying attention, and they popped up on me all of a sudden!
