Doctor Doom is an Expert on One Subject Disney Wouldn't Approve of
Marvel's Doctor Doom has dangerous super-abilities, but his true power lies in his knowledge of magic and the occult...including one particular subject which might get him in major trouble with Disney. Victor Von Doom is incredibly dangerous to all who face him, even magic users like Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch. But Doom even exceeds Spider-Man's knowledge when it comes to Star Trek trivia...something shocking to fans of the wallcrawler (and custodians of the Mouse).
Doom does not appear to be a villain invested in pop culture at first glance. Although he holds tremendous power, he has few actual friends (if any) and the citizens of Latveria obey him out of a complicated mixture of fear, love, and indoctrination brought on by his total control of all Latverian media. Doom has never wanted to destroy the world — but he has always desired to rule it, and as such he might familiarize himself with lesser forms of entertainment (at least in his eyes). But in Avengers & the Infinity Gauntlet #2, Doom proves just how much he knows.
