He's up there, but he's not even the best Marvel villain (that'd be Magneto).
The best overall comic villain is Joker.
How many good movies has Doom starred in? How many awards have they won?
How about Joker? I rest my case :0
Having his real name literally be Victor Von Doom is definitely a throwback to a pulpier era of comics, but I honestly prefer when writers simply embrace the absurdly operatic elements of the charactet rather then trying to come up with tortured workarounds or explanations like the Ultimate Universe or the last FF movie tried to.
To be fair, that book in general probably wasn't the most well thought out piece of storytelling in the world.Getting emotional thinking about what a great villain Dr. Doom is. So many great and not-at-all stupid moments in comic book history attributed to him.

But his cousin Dr.Doom DDS

But then you rob Doom of the ability to refer to himself in third person as Doom, a key component of his character.Have you seen this nutjob from Latveria? The press are calling him Doctor Doom. Ain't that sumthin'.
Easy.
I guess we'll see about that in October!The Joker is great in short bursts but you can't make a compelling narrative with him as the protagonist. The same isn't true about Doom.
Why so serious lmao?
Joker?
Which books are people reading where Joker is rated higher than Dr Doom?
But we are talking about the characters as comic book characters.
Doom stomps Joker in pretty much every way.
As a character with depth....his actual feats....his design.
Joker defeat Doom?
Well, if Dr. Doom has such resilience and range, why haven't we seen any good films of this comic book character?

Joker is chaotic, unreadable, smart, and lethally dangerous.
Dr. Doom is an evil Iron Man who talks in third person. And I actually like Dr. Doom.
I just don't think he holds a candle to the type of fear and danger generated by a Joker.
Are you seriously judging how good a character is written based off if there's movies about them or not? LmaoWell, if Dr. Doom has such resilience and range, why haven't we seen any good films of this comic book character?

Joker definitely has greater mainstream relevancy, and he's also an extremely versatile villain, as these pictures show, but that extreme versatility basically comes at the expense of having a real, defined character. To me it's telling that only two versions of the character shown here have an actual history or backstory. Joker is a great conceptual villain, Doom has greater all around depth.
He is still considered Spidey's mortal enemy/greatest villain. But people like jumping to Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.Depth doesn't mean much when it comes to quality. For most of his appearances up until Superior Spiderman. Doctor Octopus was the simplest supervillain ever and yet he is easily one of the greatest in execution.
I will agree with anything you say about comics ever again, just so long as you never post anything so ugly ever again. It's offensively bad.

It's always been a fight between the two.
Ocks better. Norman lost the title when they brought him back and they retconned all the stuff with Gwen and stuff. He used to be the guy who caused Gwen's death and robbed Peter of revenge by accidentally impaling himself. Now he's just Marvels attempt to have a more off kilter Lex Luthor. Resurrected Osborn is trash.He is still considered Spidey's mortal enemy/greatest villain. But people like jumping to Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.

Nobody talks about him and only the most hardcore comic nerds seem to know who he is, at least in my experience. He doesn't even come close to Joker.
The joker is trash, kill people and being so crazy. Shit got old in the 80s. Doom actually makes you cheer for him while he is doing his dirt
arguments in favor of joker in here remind me how boring he is. i wouldn't have put doom as greatest of all time but if this is what the competition mounts...
