Fantastic Five #1 vol. 2

 



Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciller: Ron Lim

Synopsis: Dr. Doom returns to face the Fantastic Five. 

Comments: Namor keeping Doom alive all these years just so he could torture him wasn't a good idea. 




The password "Valeria" Doom uses on his robots is a reference to his childhood love, Valeria. Doom meeting his robots in the snowy mountains calls back to his origin when he was found by monks in the mountain after he got expelled from university. Also, Doom's robots putting his armor on calls back to his origin as well. 

 





Doom references two famous Fantastic Four story arcs. Fantastic Four #57-60 is where he stole the Silver Surfer's cosmic power and Fantastic Four #258-260 is where he gave Terrax (calling himself Tyros at the time) the power cosmic after Galactus had stripped Terrax of it. 




Another plug for Universal Studios Islands of Adventure! 



Doom ambushes the Thing in Central park holding a mace. The mace is a duplicate of the one the Silver Surfer made for him to demonstrate his power in Fantastic Four #57 and Doom attacked the Thing in Central Park in Fantastic Four #58.
