Originally posted by PlacidityDoom has become god-like in less than a month in the storyline, Fantastic Four: The World's Greatest Comic Magazine. The links in the Dr. Doom respect thread are broken for this particular adventure of his. Back in 2001, Marvel decided to pay homage to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and create a story where Doom and the FF and really, all of Marvel Earth got involved. Over two dozen writers and artists collaborated to produce the 12-issue miniseries. It's canon, and according to the authors and editors in the letter columns, takes place right before Fantastic Four #100:
Doom and Richards may be very impressive "prepmasters", but having to face-off against Metron?Metron is pretty much god-like.
I'd think Team 1 takes it mainly due to Metron, Brainiac is definately not a slouch either and probably much smarter than Richards and Doom.
Doom knew about Cap's first battle with the Red Skull and the Cosmic Cube and retrieves it via Time Platform:

He then goes on to steal the Sacred Helix of Randac which powers the Terrigen Crystals from Attilan:

Picking up information from Human Torch, he confronts the Watcher and steals his Ultimate Machine, which is a repository of the Watchers' entire accumulated knowledge:

He then travels to the Negative Zone to steal Annihilus' Cosmic Control Rod:

He combines the Cosmic Control Rod, the Cosmic Cube and his Power Cosmic Siphon Harness and confronts Galactus and takes his power by force:

Here, Reed explains that Doom used the Sacred Helix of Randac to alter himself to withstand the overwhelming effects of using the Ultimate Machine. The Leader's mind had been completely overwhelmed when he tried to access it. Using the knowledge gained from it, he was able to figure out that the Cosmic Control Rod + Cosmic Cube + Power Cosmic Siphon Harness would be enough to drain Galactus of his power. And Doom finally starts the fighting:

The American military, SHIELD, Avengers, X-Men, Thor, Asgard and Odin, Namor and Atlantis:

Where's Reed during all this? Using Doom's own invention, an ionic inanimate matter converter, powered by the Silver Surfer, Reed summons classic Marvel monsters to fight Doom. Black Bolt and the Inhumans join the fight as well:

That blasted Reed Richards takes advantage of Doom's distraction with his newfound hunger and his arrogance to retrieve the Cosmic Cube and undo his transformation:

Reed goes on to erase the events from the entire world's memory with the Cosmic Cube. Only Galactus, Uatu and Reed remember what happened. Not bad for a few week's work. The above scans don't chronicle even a third of the things Doom did during the entire mini-series, but they ought to convey the spirit of the adventure. The epic dialogue from the last five scans comes from Stan Lee himself who penned the 12th issue.

just some of examples of what thanos has achieved with prep,and for the record im not doubting or dismissin metrons capabilies,imo he's not as good as thanos

HOTU does not count.
The IG cannot be acquired again.
T&A helped with the imprisonment.
how come you didnt mention the hunger feat?has metron ever taken down multiversal entity as powerful as that with prep?
Originally posted by Mindset
No, if they had similar knowledge and Thanos outmaneuvered Doom than he would have out prepped him.Doom > All
You know this is canon.
sorry,but i disagree the reason they didnt have similar knowledge is because thanos was prepped for dooms actions by his keeping tabs on him.thanduros
