Julian McMahon as Dr. Victor von Doom in The Fantastic Four

Whoever was the casting director for this movie deserves all the awards. Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, and this guy?! Fantastic indeed.

Victor von Doom, how does one begin to describe you? The brilliant CEO of the eponymous Von Doom Industries, you covet Susan Storm, Reed Richard’s ex girlfriend. You attempt to drive a wedge between Ben and Reed by claiming that Reed never intends to work on a way to change back. This allows you to become more powerful, by being encased in metal.

Sexy.

Unfortunately, you are defeated by the Fantastic Four and sent back to your home of Latveria in a containment unit. (We assume your country is located somewhere on the Baltic Sea? We hold B.A.s in history and we’re geography nerds. Deal with it) Thankfully for us, you appear in the sequel.

And before we depart, let us give a moment of silence for the Loki/Dr. Doom/Magneto movie that can never be.
