Doomquotes [from Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil #1]-4

Doom- You will do exactly as I say. Follow my orders without question. There will be rewards such as MEN LIKE YOU CANNOT DREAM OF.
Chameleon [to Sandman]- Kinda arrogant. Don't you think?
Sandman-The man calls himself Dr. Doom. He don't play subtle.
-------------------------
Brute force is strength, not power. Peasants wield clubs. Rulers have blades. Remember the lesson.
-------------------------
RadioactiveMan-My powers can disrupt machinery such as your armor! You were a fool to face me head on.
Doom [as RadioactiveMan goes down]-And you were a fool to think facing you head-on was my intent.
-------------------------
Doom, as ever, does only what needs to be done.
-------------------------
Princess Python-And then there was one.
Doom-But a powerful one. Her magical abilities are formidable.
Enchantress-They are unmatched. Try me and see.
Doom-False bravado does not become you. I could name a dozen sorcerors more powerful than you. ... Two of them are even human.
Enchantress-Impressive. And now you have joined the ranks of we immortals?
Doom-Briefly. My immortality is a coin I must soon spend.
Enchantress-You would throw away eternal life?
Doom-Of course. And gladly. My years already feel like eons. I fear the eons themselves cannot be endured.
Enchantress-Wise, for a mortal.
Doom-Enchantress. If you will, a transport to my Latverian castle.
Enchantress-Sure. I'll play along. You--interest me.
-------------------
Princess Python-When Doom asked me to come along, I thought, I don't know--
Baron Zemo- that he liked you?
Princess Python-Yes. I suppose. Is that so wrong?
Zemo-Ordinarily, no. With Doom, it's laughable.
-------------------
Selene [an old witch] Interesting. A man who uses his intelligence rather than his brute force. Oh, however could you tell [the location]?
Doom-My armor has a built-in GPS system that pinpoints my every location...
Selene-You're a clever man Doom. I confess I find myself intrigued.
Doom-I thought I might show you an actual man, as opposed to the countless spineless creatures with whom you've been linked over the millennia.
-------------------
Doom-I wish...Richards...I...I wish never to be bothered by any sense of guilt.
Selene-What? I thought Reed Richards?
Doom-Richards? Bah! This was never about Richards. My own conscience is my greatest enemy. Richards is, in fact, a near necessity for my existence. There can be no great heros like myself, without a great villain such as Richards to push me to my limits.

Doomquotes [from Astonishing Tales 6]


Silence! You witless fool! Do you think me a savage? Release the prisoner at once or you will take his place!

[hunter mistaking Doom's robotic hawk for a real one] Hawks are a vanishing species. It is against the law to slay them!...But... to me all living things are fair game!
[editor] But unfortunately for the poacher, he is not alone in that ruthless sentiment!
[Doom] When the lord of Latveria builds something... he does not leave it unprotected! [Robotic hawk disintegrates the hunter] Thus do I dispose of those who would thwart my plan!

Doomquotes [from Astonishing Tales 5]


[Krushki] Bah! We lose because you rely on weapons! But Krushki needs no weapons! I am the greatest wrestler of all! No man can withstand my grip!
[Doom] But I am not a man, lout! I am Doom!

...but an illusion that could have been conceived-- --only by one supreme intellect! The most powerful brain on earth! The brain of Doctor Doom!

Doomquotes [from Astonishing Tales 4]


[Latverian citizen] None may defy the will of Doom! Even to try means death!

[at a hotel on the Riviera] I require accomodations for a few days! Nothing too elaborate! The royal suite will suffice!
[Registrar] B-but Excellency... it's occupied!
[Doom] Do you know why men call me Doom?
[Registrar] T-the suite will be vacated at once!

[in a casino] So this is how the idle rich amuse themselves! How banal... how unimaginative! Of what importance is mere money... when there are worlds to be conquered-- people to be enslaved?!

What?!! You dare to impugn my honesty? I, the lord of Latveria? The mightiest of monarchs? Dolts! Such insolence will not go unpunished!

Doomquotes [from Astonishing Tales 1, 3]


I cannot-- will not, live a lie!

The final victory, as always, is Doom's!

You utter truth, my dear... but far too late! None may defy me with impunity!

Doomquotes [taken from the ill-named "The Villainy of Doctor Doom"]




Have I not told you how I dearly love my subjects? Did you think I would allow a single one to leave this realm? The welfare of my people is ever closest to my heart! What a pity that I am so often forced to save you from yourselves! That is why my invincible robot army stands guard both night and day! FOR NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU... EXCEPT YOUR MIGHTY SOVEREIGN ... DOCTOR DOOM! ... How ungrateful are those who will not accept the rule of Doctor Doom! Do I not give them shelter... provide them with food? And all that I ask is total, blind obedience!

Though Dr. Doom is capable of many things-- the Master of Latveria does not lie!

Doom is ready for every contingency.

[Latverian woman] But they told us you were dead! They told us the Fantastic Four had slain you in battle.
[Doom] Then they lied. Doctor Doom is not so easily destroyed.
[woman] It is you! It is you! You have come back! Oh, Master! How we have prayed you might return to us!

[Reed Richards- facing a relentless army of mechanical soldiers] To save the lives and homes of innocent Latverians... we must now ally ourselves with Doom!
[Ben Grimm "the thing"] This ain't no time for speeches Stretcho. What yer tryin' ta say is... IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!
[Doom] I cannot agree with your terminology, Ben Grimm-- but I applaud your sentiments... DESTROY THEM!

[later]
You are in no position to bargain Richards. My inhibitor ray is still affecting you, as you must know. But, to destroy you thus would be a petty victory indeed-- and Doom is never petty. But mark you well my words-- the ultimate destruction of the Fantastic Four is ever my most cherished goal. When next we meet it shall be achieved!

BURKE'S LAWS


From the first season and first disc:

Never box with a senior citizen. Burke's Law.

Never eat nice little round pancakes when you're in a hurry. Burke's Law.

In cases of homicide- check out the facts, one by one, slow and easy. Burke's Law.

Always punctual where beautiful girls are concerned. Burke's Law.

When the bell rings. Keep on your feet. Burke's Law.

Never confuse the improbable with the impossible. Burke's Law.

Got to get the facts first, theories later. Sometimes if you're lucky it will work the other way around but not often. Burke's Law

Doomquotes [taken from Iron Man Vs. Doctor Doom]


YOU DARE LAY HANDS ON ME? YOU HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR YOUR LIFE, FOOL! AND I HAVE EVEN LESS! - Doom to Sir Gareth

An open drawbridge, and no guards. I've researched Morgana for months, and carelessness is not her way. But then neither-- is it the way-- of Von Doom!

[at Tony Stark's home]
[Doom] Ah. A Renoir. I have three myself. I had four. But I ordered one burned.
[Stark] What--? You had a priceless work of art destroyed?! In Heaven's name, WHY?
[Doom] It displeased me.

Doom has arrived


Having perceived a lack of proper cultural analysis and content in the blogosphere Doom has decided to fill that void. Who better than Doom? After all, next to Doom, Lex Luthor is a mentally deficient uncultured kindergarten drop-out while Darth Vader is nothing more than a blatant rip-off of yours truly- a matter which will be dealt with later.

One feature will be a listing of Burke's Laws [even if Doom does not agree with them all- they will be listed faithfully]. You don't know who Captain Amos Burke is? Then this blog is more necessary than even Doom had contemplated!

Now if we can just get rid of that blasted Richards...
