Another WEEK OF DOOM post! Naked Doom vs. Lion.
Greetings True Believers! I am sooo excited that people have embraced the WEEK OF DOOM! (Yes, all caps. Love it.)

Have you ever asked yourself, "Gee, I wonder if Dr. Doom can kill a lion with his bare hands?"

Wonder no more! These scans are from the 2000 DOOM mini-series. It's about Doom's reconquest of Planet Doom (a.k.a Franklin Richard's Counter-Earth.) But this post is mostly about the awesomeness of Doom. Enjoy!

The beginning, Doom arrives on this war-torn planet.

Doom goes on his walkabout back to Doomcenter (This earth's Baxter Building) and he ends fighting and getting captured by a band of marauder-miners. Doom is not impressed and begins to plot to use them and their tech. Doom is put with the slaves and one big fella tries to push Doom around. Doom ends it with one neck-strike and assumes leadership of the slaves. Bad-ass dialogue time.

Ahh, Doom.

	So that's how Doom got his look for near the end of that whole Reed in Doom's armor plot. When Doom beat Reed. Oooo.. you gonna scan that? (Reply to this)

	Victor... your saying it wrong. The "D" should be two font sizes bigger than the rest of the capital letters in DOOM. The Almighty gets the capital "a". You get ALL CAPS + Larger font size onthe first letter because you are DOOM/ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sadly these days, you say something like "I am DooM!" to the kids, they'll ask "Yeah? What was YOUR high score grandpa? And when IS Doom 4 coming out?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ah, I'd forgotten that Doom was that well versed in unarmed combat, to kill the lion like that. Guess those monks were good for something other than chanting and clamping hot metal to your face. Imagine if they'd actually been focused on kung fu...

This makes me want to see a "What If Doom Had Found the Hidden City of K'un Lun and Become the Iron Fist" story now. Much as I love Danny Rand, the very idea of Doom becoming an Iron Fist in an iron mask, taking over Latveria purely by kicking the bejesus out of everybody personally, then forming the Gypsies and the peasantry into a martial arts army of extraordinary magnitude is too cool for school. Heck, the color schemes even match...

	You are a motherfucking genius. DOOM orders you to write this immediately. I also have to ask for permission to steal, this is too damned awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By all means, feel free to write it up as fanfic. Just be sure to post a link in a reply here or somehow get word to me. Ideas are free; it's their particular expression that constitutes intellectual property. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This would one of the most awesome things that ever awesomed. Can you picture Doom hitting Ben Grimm with a Bastard's Black Heart-Crusher? Glorious. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is an awesome idea, and bonus points for "martial arts army of extraordinary magnitude." Kentucky Fried Movie is awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I didn't realize that Doom was supposed to be bald. I always thought he had hair. But yeah, this is pretty cool stuff. It's good to make the point that Doom is not badass because of his armor, or his magic, or the fact that he's leader of a country, or ANY of that. They're contributing factors, sure, but take it all away, and he's still a dangerous man to cross. Doom is badass because he is DOOM - you break the man's arms and legs and stick him in a bodycast, he'll STILL find a way to kick your ass.
One question - who is the cloven-footed robot/cyborg thing with the goat horns that Doom is seeing in that flashback? I've seen him before, but I can't for the life of me remember who he is.
