Doctor Doom--Secretary Of Agriculture?!?

Y'all know, Doom isn't just about smashing the Fantastic Four. Nope, he's got some long-term goals:


Cabinet position? Really? Snort!!

See, this was about a year before Stan and Jack came up with the "Doom is ruler of Latveria" idea. And let's face it, in some U.S. administrations, Doom would fit in just fine in the cabinet!

Anyhow, a certain president receives the threat...

...but stands firm!!

Well, Doom doesn't take rejection well!



Great, the new Microsoft 10 update is really buggy!! (Feel free to insert your own topical "technology sucks" reference here...Y2K, anyone? Russian hacking?)

Well, not Russian hacking, because...

...until "Comrade K" points out the obvious!

Don't worry, soon enough Doom have his own embassy and everything...

From Fantastic Four #17 (1963)

Youd'a thought that, given Doom's ego, Reed could have stopped him cold by just saying, "So you're doing all this - just to be JFK's lackey?"

"BAH! DOOM is NO MAN'S LACKEY!"


Maybe that's what did happen, and why Doom took over Latveria?

George--FF Annual #2, about a year after this tale, was essentially a minor retcon, establishing Doom's history in Latveria, and that he was (at that time) the secret ruler of the nation.
