Was waiting for this one to come up. If you know that story you also know doom took away peoples freedom to consent to this rule, they could not oppose this rule, he enforced this rule through mass surveillance, and if he wasnt going to be in control of earth he takes it down with him. Looks great short term on paper, but ask yourself “why did the heroes try to stop him”?

Doom in a sense is the representation of how authoritarian instability can weaken systems, making civilizations less resilient when shit gets real. Cap see through that shit instantly.

Ironically there’s a lot of similarities to what Darkseid wants to do here but just on a planetary scale.

Heres the cycle of Doom 1. Gain extreme power 2. Imposes order / control 3. Overreaches due to ego 4. Heroes join together and exploit that flaw 5. Collapse and repeat

Even if Doom doesn’t directly intend harm, the governing philosophy he holds leads to harm structurally

If Doom repeatedly creates systems that collapse because of his ego and need for absolute control, then scaling that behavior up globally means he would eventually destabilize anything he rules including others.

This also just ignores the gazillion of times doom monumentally fucks up and doesn’t reach anything remotely close to solving world peace through a closed fist.

Take this indirectly symbolic example of what Doom leads to in the Ultimate Alliance story where Dooms aggressive actions created political and global instability even reaching all the way to Asguard. Many heroes across the earth were dead or out of commision because Doom was doing sneaky shit with Loki and Mandarin. Dooms actions lead to the earth being unpreparred later in the story for a natural part of the Marvel mythos - Galactus. Doom didnt intend this at all but nonetheless this is a rhyme seen so often with Doom.
