1.
Did Dr. Doom put in his eating mouth before inviting the gang over for dinner? Is that what that is?

2.
The candles really should be lit before the guests are seated.

3.
Do you think Doom insists that everyone eat Latverian cuisine, which is known for its similarities to shoe leather dipped in beet juice, or does he bring in a Thomas Keller or Ferran Adrià for the evening?

4.
I really hope there’s not a soup course.

    “This meal is getting worse all the time!”

    Then Batroc steps out from behind the curtain, smirking.

    Hot Pockets…I’m thinking, Hot Pockets…

    There is no possible way that Doom is not a serious gourmand. Maybe he has to make the effort to cut up his meat into tiny little slivers and drink his soup through a straw, but that is just how Doom rolls, and are you seriously going to tell Dr. Doom how to eat his food?

    But yeah, Doom knows his Zagat guide and Michelin ratings, and his personal chef is some former king shit who made a deal with the Wrong People at one point.

    Will there be a cheese course? For some reason, the idea of Doom! discoursing on a tray of rare cheeses from southern Spain and recommending the fig paste makes me laugh.

    Reading any old Doom panel actually kind of makes me miss his far wackier sixties persona despite him being my favorite villain of all time. Like someone on scans_daily posted a full issue of Thor from the sixties that had him luring Donald Blake to Latveria to fix his face and Blake nearly pukes when he sees it and says “No, science can do nothing for something THAT hideous.”

    On your second point: Doom will light candles at a time he deems appropriate, and no sooner. Plus when else does he get to show off an invention like self-lighting candles?

    34 Years and the earth isn’t destroyed yet?! Get a move on Doomsie. I’m sure you’ve had plenty of time choke down that fine Latverian spread. I thought I was a procrastinator.

    @Bully: The Empire Strikes Back was my first thought, too.

    Look at his huge, happy eyes – Doom’s just blown out the candles with his breath. I think certain Latverian Monarch is having a birthday! That, or maybe just had a wee bit too much of the cooking sherry again. Or both.

    Now that’s a happy Doom.

    Of course he has a chef…a chef who makes FABULOUS meals. He dare not do otherwise,as Doom once remarked to Storm. Nothing like the threat of disintegration to keep you on your culinary toes.
