What always bugs me about this story is the same thing that bugged me when Hudlin presented Doom as a racist, or when Bendis had Doom direct a juvenile and sexist tirade at Ms. Marvel. Inevitably when Doom fans argue that this kind of thing is out of character for him, there comes the reply, "But Doom is EVIL! Why shouldn't be be a racist/sexist/child-torturing complete monster?"
Thing is, you can be evil without being evil ALL THE TIME about EVERY GODDAMN THING. It is entirely possible to be a very bad person while still having some good characteristics, or at least not having some bad characteristics. How many times has a murderer been captured, and his neighbors say "but he seemed like such a nice guy?"
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of writers out there who simply can't seem to grasp the fact that a person (or character) can be "evil" without being completely vile in every single detail. And so, my basic problem with this story is that it seems like an obvious attempt to present a Dr. Doom of the later sort of villain, who has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
And a Doom with NO redeeming qualities... IS NOT DOOM.
