why is doom sucking in his gut?

How would Doom beat Apoc?

redhotrash
In a straight, unprepped, 1 on 1, spontaneous fight Apocalypse should be able to overwhelm Doom assuming Doom is wearing his standard gear. Give Doom... hell 10 minutes of prep to grab some more specialized equipment he has laying around and its another story.

horrorwolf
Apocalypse >>>>>>>>>>> Doom in any type of typical skirmish.

Give Dr. Doom some prep time (or even both equal amounts) and I guarantee that Dr. Doom would utterly pwn Apoc 10/10.

redhotrash
Agreed, Apocalypse tends to need years of prep, and even then it rarely turns out the way he wants it to.

BatmanOfGotham
Apocalypse will win. If the two fight without any prep, the winner is Apocalypse. If Doom gets prep, so should En Sabah Nur.
Therefore, Apocalypse wins in both scenarios.

Priest
Hmm, how would Apoc over come Dooms magic?

When has Apocalypse used magic exactly? As far as Doom's magic, its more prep based. You dont often see him leave the house and just decide to start flinging spells. Maybe he could, but he hasnt shown it. Matter of fact when stripped naked, Dr. Doom killed a lion with his bare hands, rather than use any spells.

Mr. Slippyfist
Did you even read the latest Mighty Avengers arc?

Doom wins.

Yea, you haven't read anything recent with Doom, have you?

tkitna
If they just bumped into each other out of nowhere, as much as I want to say Doom,,,,I cant. Apocalypse would probably take this.

The Illuminati
There is nothing that APOC has that DOOM hasn't seen a 1000x, APOC can't say the same. Doom 10/10 prep/or no prep makes no difference.

norrinradd43
I think Apocalypse takes doom down pretty hard.

redhotrash
I gave up on Mighty Avengers when it became clear the writers didnt know wtf they were doing. Through the bulk of Doom's career he has never relied heavily on magic. And regardless, if we are talking a non-jobbing Apocalypse, he should win. Apocalypse isnt meant to be harmed through convential means (physical blows, energy blasts). People seem to forget he has total control over his body's molecular structure, has telepathic abilities, and has celestial tech.
Like I said, give Doom a few minutes of prep to get his proper gear and he wins, wearing his standard armor he shouldnt be able to beat Apocalypse

Granted Apocalypse has some bad showings but when you get down to the grassroots of what his powers are supposed to be and go off that, he is well above Doom.

Apocalypse is a genius in all, but it seems more in the field of general Intelligence rather than actually implementing an ingenious plan/strategy.

Normally Apoc is more powerful than Dr Doom however DD relies more on his Mind than Apocalypse does, and has proved far more adept at accomplishing his goals.

non-prep Apoc wins 8.5/10

w/ prep "The Good Doctor" takes 9.9/10


PS- I think DD would use Celestial Tech a lot more effectively than Apoc.

redhotrash
Doom would definately do more with celestial tech, and hes a better loser than Apocalypse. When Doom spends maybe 6 months on a plan that nearly takes over the world but fails when the entire Avengers roster gets involved, he just pulls a Dr. Claw "NEXT TIME!" and chaulks it up as a loss and moves on. Apocalypse will spend 300+ years on a plan just to be foiled by teenaged mutants and will try to save face claiming it was all intentional (yeah.. right).
Either way Apocalypse suffers from a terrible case of misuse. The guy is class 100 strength, can grow to enormous sizes, can form his limbs into all sorts of weapons, has telepathy, alien technology, can teleport, etc etc, but KMC'ers still put in him fights against streetlevelers. Apocalypse should be a team buster. Again, blame Marvel.

Apocalypse trashes Doom without prep. I am also not too sure that Doom even with prep could have faught High Evolutionary as well as Nur did.

Doom vs the Fantastic four is different. Your talking about a team with a member who can match Doom in intelligence. Not one member of the X-men should be smart enough to take on Apocalypse but it happens alot. Lets be real the x-men are a great team but the pinnacle of intelligence they are not.
Doom wins against 616 Apocalypse. Even without prep he always has weapons and abilities that make him dangerous. Even the last issue of Mighty is testament to that.

Happens a lot? When has Apoc been outsmarted by the X-Men?

llagrok
As far as I can recall, Apocalypse was defeated when Cyclops "Drew upon the strength of the Grey lineage" which is as PIS as it can get.

And he was killed by the Psimitar after his psychic essence had been separated from Cyclops' body? Another plot weapon.

And recently he was beaten thanks to Pulse further depowering an Apocalypse that had already drained enough blood from himself to fill several huge tanks.

So you're trying to say Apoc should win, right?

I wouldn't doubt for a second that Doom could take 3 or 4/10, but with no time to prepare for this battle I believe Apocalypse has the power to win the majority, if written properly.

No no, just that the methods the x-men have used to beat him won't hold on KMC.

There's no psimitar, no summers/grey bloodline and Apocalypse hasn't been drained of blood.

A. AOA just attack his and hes defeated
B. BOA Attack him
C. Stryfe loss
Each time hes beaten, he just looses. They have no plan at all. For a prep guy direct physical confrontation should already have a counter. As far as a him being as smart as reed? "Hell No".

Doom usually has access to magic, and his doom bots via his suite.

His plan with Onslaught was bad as well and didn't work. Hes no where near on an equal field of intellect as Doom who even Thanos acknowledges as a big threat.

Apocalypse went toe to toe against High Evolutionary, actually got the better of him, schooled him and than you say Apocalypse intelligence is not even comparable to Reed Richards. Everything Richards can comprehend, I don't see why Apocalypse wouldn't. He would.
It's been said Richards cannot close comprehend Galactus technology, Apocalypse has good knowledge of Celestial technology and understands it, what he got. Look what he also made of Hulk (Reed couldn't even came up with something to stop World War Hulk and not even WWH couldn't do to Juggernaut what War Hulk did).
We know Apocalypse isn't close written in all departments as what he is capable and what he has.
Originally, he was the one to conquer and rule the Earth. Remember what Cable said to Thor and others. He said they don't even realize the threat of Apocalypse. Apocalypse made like they never even existed.
And if you remember, genius Kang the Conqueror (Nathaniel Richards) among all other Earth powerful beings, went after Apocalypse (because Apocalypse ruled the Earth) and failed with all his smartness and future technology to get him.
And are Celestials really so much below Galactus?
Don't tell me he can't even compare to Reed. It's the writing that can't compare because of Reed being generally much better written than Apocalypse and also being constant in writing.

He has beaten better men with less.

For a guy the time and resources that he had Apocalypse is a pretty big disapointment . The guy had 1000s of years to work wirk with and Celestial tech and he still failed.

Doom is a mrtal man with only his intellect magic and guts to back him up and he did much much better then apocalypse ever did.

if all there doing is using their powers to storm the pyramid and attack apocalypse. Thats not a plan thats storming the pyramid to use their mutant powers on Apocalypse and thats a plan beneath the likes of even Spiderman. I mena seriously I wonder if the avengers will run straight in and battle the villian in the next issue, sounds like a plan.


The worst part was that he announced on television his plan knowing they would storm his pyramid afterword. What countermeasures does he have for this

Kill the majority of the population but wait in a huge pyramid without counter measures for any of the teams but a cliche bomb . Thats it. Thats not a plan, thats waiting for an ass-beating. Doom always has a plan whether its political, magical, or otherwise. To even put their intelligence in the same league is a little ridiculous.

also, I said Doom is smarter He learned everything he could from Strange in two weeks. He's also grown more powerful, and more powerful over the years. Not saying he's Strange level (although he'd fukken own current), but he's not what you're saying... not even close.

Plus, I never said anything about any power levels. You're logic is that:

Apoc is stronger - well, Doom is way closer to Apoc's strength, than Strange is (although, I feel I have to say that he's not close... because I can see you misinterpreting what I'm throwing down).

Apoc is more durable - Doom is closer than Apoc's durability, than Strange is.

Apoc is more versatile - This isn't even correct... but, I guess he's more versatile than Strange as well... confused

Using your incredibly awesomtastic logic. Doom would stand a better chance against Apoc, than Strange would. As you only picked elements of fighting that you feel would win Apoc the fight. You never said anything about magic abilities. You never said anything about blasting power. You never said anything about effectiveness... etc.

Doom whips out his anti-matter canon, and blows Apoc out of the fight. smile

The Avengers were actually having trouble with Apoc's pyramid. And Cap said that they could wait a couple of days for the Fantastic Four to help.

Then the X-Men shows up with two new Sentinels.

Alternate futures? Doom is the Sorcerer Supreme in one of his futures.

And in canon... he's stolen Galactus's power. Galactus's power/Cosmic Cube/Other artifacts (although it may not be canon... not sure yet). He's stolen Beyonder's power. He's stolen Silver Surfer's power. He's stolen a Watcher's power.
All through a little bit of planning. Doom is a cosmic villain when he's in the mood for power.

However, this battle isn't about what one has done with prep... is it? Or what they have accomplished in that aspect. Hell, if you want to compare... Thanos keeps an eye on Doom at all times.

all of those things he has lost right.

they are somewhat equal in the tech biz and the point about tech was secondary, the meat of the matter is apocalypse being the greater of the two villains by far (imo)

they are somewhat equal in the tech biz and the point about tech was secondary, the meat of the matter is apocalypse being the greater of the two villains by far (imo) Of course. Beyonder reclaimed his power (through plot).
Black Bolt shouted a full scream x whatever the machine Reed gave him amplified it by.
And he ran into Galactus's forcefield.

They aren't even close in tech... while Apoc may have assy Celestial tech (as it's assy to what Celestials can do)... he hasn't accomplished what Doom has.
Doom has actually blown apart Meph in his own realm (although he reformed because he's Meph).
He's stolen Galactus's power with a mechanism he built in like 10 minutes of planning/building.
He can steal Surfer's power with his tech.
He redirected Thor's hammer with a field.
He's one shotted Adam Warlock twice with his own blasts in his suit.
Etc.

Secondary maybe... but it's still wrong.

Heh... comics go against that.

with tech, it may be a toss up victory that leads to a bfr.

Apocalypse conquered ancient civilizations in 616 timeline, not that much of a feat.

several cultures, he is known as a god in tombs and tablets.

he concurred at least: china, north america, mexico, south america, upper africa to the middle east to india, the inhumans moon base (sort of) and various other countries in different time lines.

Anyway, Doom has ran his own country for years.

What does Apoc rule now?

Plus, that speaks as though it's a "I don't know what they've done, but Apoc has a cool title!" to me. erm
And I don't even know where that came from. Wiki, Marvel, handbooks? Either way, it's irrelevant.


May I be so bold, as to ask what this is based on?

Plus, sans tech, Apoc is a mutant, without Celestial armor. Doom is a pimp with a scar on his face... with very potent magic skills. Doom would assrape Apoc sans tech.

What the hell are you talking about.


Accomplishing WHAT? Doom has actually conquered the world before but gave it up in an old fantatic four. Hes taken the powers of the SS, Galactus and the Beyonder. Hes fought several teams and fought quite well. His track record is great even by villian standards. Your arguement against Dooms counter measures is a fight with Squirrel girl, whose reputation has always been to take down huge villians as an inside joke? Dooms built his own time machine. Apoc has what? celestial tech? Big deal, he almost never usues it properly. His intellect is also a cause for concern considering I rarely see him do anything above average for a supposed evil genius.

Alternate futures? Doom is the Sorcerer Supreme in one of his futures.

And in canon... he's stolen Galactus's power. Galactus's power/Cosmic Cube/Other artifacts (although it may not be canon... not sure yet). He's stolen Beyonder's power. He's stolen Silver Surfer's power. He's stolen a Watcher's power.
All through a little bit of planning. Doom is a cosmic villain when he's in the mood for power.

However, this battle isn't about what one has done with prep... is it? Or what they have accomplished in that aspect. Hell, if you want to compare... Thanos keeps an eye on Doom at all times.

Loki is also the sorcerer supreme in one future.

redhotrash
Are we really using alternate futures as a reference on KMC? Didnt Punisher kill everyone in 1 alternate future?
On a more realistic (comic book speaking) note, Apocalypse has had how long to study celestial tech? Dont get me wrong, I love the character, but they have dropped the ball on him big time. It just seems like the best thing to come from Apocalypse has been Mr. Sinister, who while being weaker and operating on a smaller scale than the big guy, has been at least equally as sucessful.
Dr. Doom on the other hand is one of the most respected villains on comics for a reason. He does awesome things with less resources than some other badguys, and always does them with style.
Still, like I said before, using standard gear hes outmatched here. Through his character's history he hasnt used magic consistantly like some people on here would lead you to believe.

Apocalypse's goal isn't as easy to accomplish, he wants to separate the weak from the strong, it's not as easily accomplished as simply gaining more powers.

Apocalypse also had reality altering powers after the twelve, so it's not like he has never gotten any proper power.

apoc never conquered earth 616 bcuz he never saw the opportunity to for 1 for 2 in the reality in which apoc conquers the earth he thoroughly owns the world to were u can honestly say he had his own era or "age" however on another note doom is cunning enough to create his own scenario in which he could take over honestly i m gonna honestly have to say this is gonna be a stalemate apoc's got battle experience dooms got the cunning and there power levels r too close to call it

It's not mind control. They are brainwashed, though others might follow him willingly.

Angel was tricked into believing he had killed Iceman. This 'shocked' him back to his senses. The same happened to Hulk when he thought he killed Rick Jones. And Wolverine returned to his former self thanks to Shadow King.

Apoc's other Horsemen (not main characters like Angel, Gambit, Wolverine or Hulk) have remained at his side, mostly for a very long time.

Apocalypse didn't really try to brainwash Gambit, that was the whole idea. Gambit thought he was still fully in control. It's not like his technology failed to grant them powers.

Actually the Secret Wars IS valid for mainstream Doom. See the Beyonder pulled Doom from the 1990's back to the time period of the Secret Wars, and then restored Doom's memories to him later on after he'd been brought back to life. That mean that Doom's current self has actually experienced(and remembers) the entire Secret War saga.

While I agree SW (84) is valid for 616 Doom,
because he was re-introduced into the SW saga (84) by Beyonder in 85' (not 90)
we mustn't forget that the original version of Doom that "stole" B's power,
was not the real, or original Doom,
but an impossible alternate from a non-existent future courtesy of the Beyonder.

It once again proves that Doom stealing Beyonder's power is a farce,
for Beyonder actually allowed Doom to steal his power again during that re-introduction,
this solidifies Beyonder's absolute manipulation of the entire event,
but beyond this,
we later learn that Beyonder unconsciously gave Doom what he wanted,
because it was in Beyonder's nature to give others what they desired,
I mean,
that was the whole point of SW I in the first place, to grant insects their dreams.

For Doom, that dream was Beyonder's power:
