Compassion for a child from Villians

The Juggernaut might not be as evil as the others, but it's hard to see him go out of his way, because why would he? He's been involved in plots where the end result would of been huge amounts of destruction. Maybe not specifically at his hand, but at the hand of those he has teamed up with in the past.

This is of course why Doom and Magneto showing up to cry over 9/11 was disturbingly hilarious.

Its a RL logic you're applying quite well.
Armies routinely wreak havoc in a general sense, on each other's countries, but if a soldier personally kills a single child/old person/woman, he can get in all sorts of trouble, even executed.

The Mandarin actually saved a kid once.

She later grew to be a villain of Hank Pym and Janet.

So again, Doom flat out murdered a woman he loved for magic armor. Why is he saving a random child? Why didn't his love of children ever stop his trying to destroy NYC? You know when he tried to destroy the city his only regret was he never saw "Cats" not "all the dead kids".

Maybe if Doom was walking down the street holding a cup of water and passed by a kid that was on fire he might dump the water on him, but some have actually implied Doom would do "anything" to save a random child.

I don't know why people even mention Thanos on the list of people who would do this. He saved Gamora so he could use her. That is not saving a child via "compassion". That is called being a super villain.

Even Magneto..it depends on when you pluck him from his time in comics. Not all versions would care. Sometimes his personality was essentially "mutant Hitler" with all the irony that comes with it apparently lost on him.
