Never Mess with Doctor Doom

Never mess with Doctor Doom,unless you want your homeworld to be destroyed

In the other hand I love that Zombie Doom has not been consumed by the cannibalism,thus remaining the sinister sovereign that he is

Aside from wanting to see Baboon Von Doom in a one-shot NOW, (and also know why Doom has caterpillars crawling across his mask), I'm impressed that Doom was able to shut down a Speedball's powers so effortlessly, say what you like about Speedball, his powers were always pretty overwhelming. But I suppose that Doom did have time to analyse Penance when he visited Latveria looking for Nitro.

	Thats Zombieverse Doom so I'd imagine those are supposed to be maggots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow, if only artists had something at their fingertips that would allow them to find pictures of what maggots actually look like. That would be awesome! Can't imagine what such a resource would be called, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Actually, Speedy was choked out in his first series. It's more common sense than cunning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Interesting... It surprises me a little since I'd have thought that anyone grabbing him is automatically giving him kinetic energy to work with which usually means "that's all she wrote". (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Does anyone else read this Doom with James Earl Jones' voice? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	taggerung301 2009-11-09 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	hm, I've always imagined Doom speaking in a higher pitched (but still very evil) voice than good old Jones interesting voice choice though (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sherkahn 2009-11-09 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	As opposed to who? I always hear/read Doom with James Earl's voice, with an Eastern European accent and rusty metallic echo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James Earl Jones, why not? Since everything else about Vader was copied from Doom. Alan Rickman is good. I also think of Tony Jay and Keith David as worthy of Doom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	box_in_the_box 2009-11-10 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Doom, like Alan Oppenheimer's Skeletor, needs that edge of nasal screech when he's screaming his hated arch-enemy's name. Jones and David's booming bass voices are much better suited to Darkseid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could also see David Warner. "Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warner as Evil from Time Bandits would be an awesome Doom. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I first caught on to Doom from "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends," so I always tend to associate -that- voice with the character. Specifically from the episode "The Fantastic Mr. Frump." I couldn't tell you the voice actor's name, but I remember the filter they added to it gave it this mechanical echo which I always thought was really cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I tend to imagine doom speaking like Kevin Michael Richardson, actually. I guess it's the "armored figure" thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I can't say just what ACTOR would be perfect for Doom's voice, but I have a fair idea of what he should sound like - deep, slightly grating, with a slight mechanical echo to his tones, the height of arrogance, of course, but with a certain charismatic edge, and a hint of a European accent. Actually, you know who could pull it off? Ian McKellen. Take the voice he did for the Toad in 'Flushed Away', make it a teensy bit higher-pitched, add a bit of a Germanic grate in place of the English accent, and run it through a computer to make it sound like it's echoing from inside Doom's armor. It'd be perfect.

	I can't, actually, because I don't think I've ever seen anything with him in it. I understand that he's supposed to be a huge ham, but I don't know what he looks or sounds like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-11-14 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Been a while since I've seen anything with him in it. I know he can sound very raspy, but if I'm remembering his voice correctly, he's just too American-sounding to play Doom. I mean, of course he could put on an accent, but that sort of thing is tricky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unknownscribler 2009-11-15 09:35 am UTC (link)
	He's played the Kurgan, Lex Luthor & Mr Freeze. But to be honest I've never heard Doom's voice in my heard with an accent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-11-15 10:02 am UTC (link)
	Ohhhhh, I know what he sounds like, then. Yeah, he's got a good voice. I haven't really heard Doom with an accent, either, but it makes sense that he'd have one. After all, he grew up as a European gypsy, and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Latveria is supposed to be located somewhere near Germany. It makes sense that he'd have at least the trace of an accent. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	He evacuated Latveria and Ash Williams into a dimensional portal before destroying it and getting bitten. Thats about it really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	espanolbot 2009-11-10 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	I thought that he was bitten first, but managed to avoid going all "Rarrr! Doom Eat Peoples!", at least for a while, due to his force of will power? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, by then the only people to eat were Latverians and Ash Willaims and neither were acceptable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
