Doom finds his consciousness inside the body of someone with no power, no standing and without anything beyond what this poor orphaned boy can scrounge on his own… which is to say, Doom finds his consciousness within his CHILDHOOD SELF. But now, with the knowledge of what is to come, Doom has a chance to do things differently — and BETTER. He can make different choices — win different battles. Rather than travel an ocean to study — in America, where he would meet his hated rival, Reed Richards, and become disfigured… he can stay in his home country, with his first and only love: a beautiful and clever young Latverian woman named Valeria. It’s a journey to the center of Victor Von Doom himself as he discovers how wildly differently his life could’ve gone… and the price he must pay to keep such victories!

CAPTAIN AMERICA #15 MUPPETS VARIANT COVER BY NICOLETTA BALDARI – 75960621146301531
Doom has escaped the Titanic and now finds himself in a strange new body, in a strange new world: America, at the start of the Revolutionary War. The world is about to change, and a young nation is about to take on the British Empire: the single most powerful military in the history of the world. But Doom has other plans — and sees an opportunity here to give history a better form. Can one man, acting alone, truly change the course of history? And does the answer change if that one man, acting alone, creates a laser Gatling gun centuries ahead of schedule?
DOOM IS UNSINKABLE! Doctor Doom has been sent back in time — without his armor, and without any technology, but with the only thing he’s ever needed: his MIND. Unfortunately, the date he’s been sent to is April 15th, 1912. The place he’s been sent to is the North Atlantic. And the name of the ship he now finds himself on is the RMS Titanic. But Doom will not allow himself to be caught, and Doom will not allow himself to be destroyed. He rails against fate, determined to rewrite history — no matter what it costs him or anyone else. And now Doctor Doom faces his greatest challenge yet — and he refuses to go down with the ship.

IRON MAN #8 MARVEL TŌKON: FIGHTING SOULS VARIANT COVER
Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer, and the ruler of his own nation. He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards — Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival — is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.
Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended — across all of time and space!
