So I assume you mean Doom with the board, considering you specifically mention it being the 2nd film's version? If that is the case, I don't see how Spiderman would even get close enough to mount an offense. It took Johnny wielding the combined powers of the FF, while knowing what he was up against, to defeat that Doom.

Normal Doom is too much indeed. Thing level stats, or close enough to them. As well as the ability to spam lightning indefinitely.
Would have been interesting if the filmmakers had let him develop those powers in the story more. Based on how he was also affecting metal objects initially, it appears that with practice, he might have been able to get a mini Magneto thing going. But that would have made him a bit too overpowered.
One thing that was always odd to me about that first film was that Doom seemed so afraid to make sure Ben was out of the picture, but when they actually fought one-on-one he kicked Thing's ass. 😆
Well, they never fought beforehand that I can recall. But yeah, Reed first tries the machine, but it goes wrong and he becomes like a wet noodle. Doom convinces Thing to help him and amps himself in the process. So might be that the amp, like you said, that did it. But that actually begs the question, how the hell did Ben re-Thing himself after the rest went after Doom? Doom himself had to pour some of his power into the machine initially before it started working on Thing the first time IIRC. But one moment he was sad Ben sitting on a knocked over shelf, next he is busting through Doom's walls.

Maybe it was only temporary in taking away/dampening powers?
If it was, it was the most convenient timing ever. 😆
I admit I am still a bit thrown by the OP. There is no way in hell Spiderman was going to win this. Hell, you could throw in all of his rogues and it wouldn't make a difference against cosmic Doom.
Yeah, I don't think Electro would do anything other than amp Doom up. He seemed to have some kind of lightning/electricity immunity along with his absorbing abilities, or his powers should actually have messed himself up badly, considering Torch's nova flames was the only thing that damaged him, and lightning bolts can reach temperatures of up to roughly 5 times the surface temperature of the sun.
Doom never amped himself with the machine. He powered it for Ben by shooting lightning into it because Reed was never able to find a power source strong enough (which also says much about how much energy Doom can generate).

Likely he didn't know about his own strength. He has seen however what Ben could do, so better safe than sorry. Ben is also the one Doom probably wasn't sure how to take out due to his high durability.
I haven't watched the film in a while, so I am going to take your word for it. But yeah, that then is actually a really decent feat showing how much power Doom can generate.
That makes sense. If you get past the flames and shields/invisibility, Johnny and Sue are still just human, and Doom showed that he knew exactly what needed to be done to counter Reed. But it is hard to plan for the giant rock man that can trash compact a Porsche with his bare hands in a few seconds.
