And if that sounds ominous to you, Marvel’s heroes all agree, as they’ll be organizing to deal with Doom’s machinations, which include taking over Earth’s broadcast channels to send his messages, and potentially even manipulating world leaders for his own ends.
But now, with Doom’s schemes starting to come to fruition, the heroes of the Marvel Universe will unite to take him on - at least until some of them start falling under his spell.
“One World Under Doom sees Doctor Doom coming out of [Latveria], and overnight, taking over the world,” writer Ryan North said in Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic Con, where the series was announced. “Every country is a province of a united Latveria, and everyone answers to Doom, and he is going to make some changes … He gets to show the world that he’s the greatest at what he does, and that might not be great for people not named Victor Von Doom.”

“Luckily, whether it’s mind control or Doombots, whatever’s affecting them hasn’t affected Earth’s heroes - and so they quickly form a strike team to stop Doom’s machinations,” it continues. “But will they succeed? And what happens when some begin to welcome their new Emperor with open arms, clamoring for One World Under Doom? Marvel’s biggest and most shocking event ever begins right here, with The Rise Of Emperor Doom #1.”
