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!
