Finally, the secret genius ofDoctor Doomis revealed, and it may surprise some fans. This Fantastic Four villain has had the Marvel world nearly within his grasp many times, but he’s always been outsmarted by comics' most iconic heroes. Often lauded as the most brilliant villain of all time, it appears he might be getting some help with his brilliant schemes after all.
In a preview forVenom War: Fantastic Four#1 by Adam Warren and Joey Vazquez, Kang and Doom are at war again, and the war is shown over the span of years - but the most prominent aspect is the reveal ofDoctor Doom’s nefarious plots.

It appears that Doctor Doom isn’t the exact mastermind behind his own schemes,as he has created a network of doombots to act as a sort of Artificial Intelligence that is the true authors of his plans.To save him time, these doombots constantly hone Doctor Doom’s own schemes and work out all the kinks so that he can be free to achieve world domination.
