Magneto vs Doom, whos the better leader?

I was saying that to Red who said that Doom should win if it was a nation against nation.

I still say Magneto would own Doom in a war. What is stopping him from turning his own country on him and crushing it with all of the metal around there. Would Doom even want to challenge him after the embarassment and ownage Magneto served him last time?

Magneto. Doom seems more of a despot who makes Latveria love him through Doombots and fear than a good leader. Magneto, however, is seen as an inspiration to mutants everywhere, and was the the beloved leader of Genosha.

If Doom had prep he would crush Mags, you are aware Doom has beaten Mags I believe twice, right?

Yeah with prep he stands more of a chance, but even while he is prepping Mags could still crush his bots and destroy his cities. You are aware that Magneto has beaten him before too and in the worst possible way ever?

Sorry its just that I always repeat myself 100 times because I feel as if no one really cares about me...my doctor says that I should work on that. 🙁

Didnt Doom once turn off Magneto's powers with the touch of a button? Just a side note.

Magneto is certainly a more inspiring leader, but Doom might be more effective.

I think the question should be redefined... as in.. whos the better leader:

If you want your army to win a war? Doom
If you want to lead your people in peaceful times? Magneto

Magneto may have the respect of his people.. but so do a lot of terrorists.... He's also failed in a lot of his... i'm taking over the world... projects... or asteroid m.. or genosha.. or... f it.. anything he does is pretty much a failure.

Doom has maintained control of Latveria for how many decades now?....

What are you talking about? He has been dethroned many times. He has risen back to power pretty easily each time but still.

When were these many times he was dethroned?

True.. but being displaced from power... is not the same as being without power.

Magneto tends to either run rogue... or have small bands called the brotherhood.. he finally got ahold of asteroid m after.. what... 20 years? and genosha... about 15 years after that?

even considering the brief periods where he cloned himself.. put his mind into another person.. etc.. he still ruled his own kingdom for the majority of time consecutivity since like.. the 60's.

That Zorba dude took over once. Everytime Doom either died or got banished from Earth counts as him losing control of Latveria.

yeah no doubt that Doom has showed that he has had better control over his nation.

yah, but when he died, or got banished, it wasn't by the people of the country. he wasn't overthrown from the inside the majority of those times.

Magneto for the majority fights civil wars... and even has many attempts from within his own acolytes to overthrow him as leader.

Doom is a more rare situation.

The question is how doom is as a leader. Okay, so in continuity, you have maybe... 6 years since the 60's where doom did not have control of latveria.

magneto has been around since about then. He's had control of a country for what... how long.. 4 years? ands its been in civil war... destroyed.. a cesspool... for what? 3 years?...

yah....

I would die for Magneto.

Not really, but you know what I mean or something like that.

One thing that comes to mind, the secret wars. You had some of the most egostistical, renegade, loner types of villains all in a room together and Doom was pretty much default leader just because hes Doom.

That doesn't count as him losing Latveria.
