WTF? Because he wasn't!
Vader was influeneced by Flash Gordon villains, space suits and old Samurai. Lucas has never expressed any admiration for The Fantastic Four. Doom has nothing to do with Vader other than pure coincidence.
As for the show, I saw the villains one.
Some I agreed with - but Dr. Evil making the cut? And no Predator? No Emperor Palpatine? What the hell's that all about? It was so MTV and dumbed down. The Joker and Darth Vader receiveing 1st and 2nd places is totally deserving, and as long as they got 1st and 2nd, it doesn't matter, because they are my fave villains of all time. I'm so glad they gave recognition to Mark Hamills Joker (when he did the voice I was like "thats such an awesome voice"
The "comedians" that were talking about it were annoying. That one guy who was trying so desperately to be funny was just failing. He reminded me of an even more annoying and even less funny Ashton Kutcher. Stop trying to make fun. Yeah, make fun of Vaders breathing, make fun of his mask, it's soooooo original.
I thought it was funny how they completely dodged the fact the movie Dr Doom wasn't at all like the comic book original.
