Doom was his apprentice, got his heart turned to stone and sent back to the dinosaur's, came back millions of years later to kill a watcher and his master... Dr Doom is one bad ass motherfucker 😎

This storyline gives this quote a whole new meaning: “It was, is, and always will be Doom who pulls the strings.” - Victor Von Doom

So the Marquis of Death is what happens when a fan gets involved in the Marvel Universe? Since it's clear that the One Above All is the writers themselves.

Doom at the end “I’m going home, if you bother me you’ll cease to exist” Everyone else “uhhh okay Victor.....want some welcome home presents ?”

I feel like the Marquis of Death is a metaphor for the bloodlust of the fans

Hes more powerful than himself He literally caught himself in a paradox that turned his own ego into his death

maybe the living tribunal saw how powerful he was and was like "yo i like my life"

"I've seen demensions where your gods are insects."

I love how passionate this guy is about comics. Does a great job with his videos, and isn't obnoxious like most KZfaq stars.

Proof that Doctor Doom is still one of the Ultimate Badasses out there. Props man.

But can he beat farmer with shotgun

The Living Tribunal didn't intervene because The Marquis of Death doesn't use magic. His powers are mutagenic. They came to him naturally.

Kills a god of gods, and then tells his enemies: “I’m tired. I think I’m going home.”

Hold up. If doom was the apprentice, right? Then that means he was impersonating susan storm, yeah? And they were expecting a kid...so basically doom *fucked himself*.

10:31 WHAT A TWIST.

“Man let me tell you something” it always gets me 😂😂😂

So, Marquis of death is The One Below One

One of the best Doom entries. Such a complex character. It seems that with more power acquired, the less personality an entity expresses, such as the Marquis. They became more akin to a force of nature, an abstraction, or a concept than personable. Then there’s Doom. Given that he’s motivated by his own ego, it makes sense he’d retain his personal will. Dr. Doom probably possesses the most powerful ego in any medium of entertainment.

marqui of death: *does all these things* rogue: *hugs him* marqui of death: *dies*

Doom gets all the good stories lol

Is nobody going to talk about how Doom lived through all that, waited tens of millions of years to trick his killer into training him, and then got revenge by dealing the final blow? Or is that just par for the course for him?

The idea of Dr.Doom at the end saying: _"A'ight, I'm heading to the crib. Act up and get smacked up"_ has me rolling 🤣😭

To be honest he sounds cool on paper but this is another storywhere my main question is why did he not just erase them from existence..... How was there really even a "battle"

Marquis of Death was only there to make Doom look even more badass.

Beyond omega level: Stan lee

He's so powerful that theonly person who can stand against him is his younger self

People that can defeat -Thanos(even with the gauntlet)- Marquis of Death: 1- Dr. Doom 2. One Above All 3. Hawkeye (After Stretching) 4. Bruce Banner(After Assembling all 7 PHDs) 5. Shaggy 6. Duolingo Bird 7. Squirrel Girl 8. Some dude with a rocket launcher

This marquis of death looks badass

It's weird that you never heard about this story until now. I've never read comics but this was the first Doctor Doom story I heard about. A dude that gets sent back in time 65 million years, teaches himself magic and how to survive, and literally waits millions of years to get back to the present day so he can kill the person who sent him there. Truly the most badass character I've read about. I've been fascinated by Doom for the last couple years.

Makes sense, when you think about how he's from a world that's outside of the frame of the marvel universe, and even has the power to alter the reality of *that* world. He basically has author status. It's really not being powerful in the traditional sense, so much as it is authority over existence itself.

Marquis of Death appears to be the Marvel equivalent to OG Superboy, in that he's a author self-insert from the real world with limitless power over creation.

Interestingly enough...a duke is the highest noble rank...followed by marquis. If you see it in terms of power he could be seen as second to the one above all and the living tribunal being the earl (the rank beneath marquis)

I remember this one too, it was insane- especially the Doom twist. I thought that was very unique.. it shows Doom is a true tactician; methodical.

Ignited all the stars in the universes and killed absolutely everyone...............and Doom stood up to the Marquis.................. 👀

Marquis of Death is stupid powerful, but this story is ridiculous as hell.

Doom is badass.

This guy is madness. But this comic shows how powerful dr. Doom is as well

I love the dark side of the comics when they start killing off heros. It's a nice break from the regular mundane hero saves the day stuff.

this whole story is like wtf

Wait - so....Dr. Doom from the past (disguised as the apprentice disguised as Susan Storm) fake married Dr. Doom from the future....? Is this good writing?

So, Clyde Winchem = Comic Book Writter Marquis of Death = Writter writting himself into a corner.

It infuriates me having to wait 30 minutes in traffic or having my girlfriend shop for a few hours... but Dr. Fucking Doom waited *millions* of years for revenge. I don't even read comics and the only anime/cartoon I've ever watched and enjoyed is Berserk. Yet I give my respects to Marvel for making this thugnificent being.

Take a shot every time he says “What we find out.”

Doom is an inspiration for everyone!. No matter how much he loses, how much he fails to achieve his goals due to his rivals: he keeps going and trying again and again.

*Marquis humiliates doom and throws him into the past* *Doom survives to tell the story and takes over Marquis body than seperates him from Marquis and destroys him* SEE, THIS IS THE REASON WHY DOCTOR DOOM IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VILLAIN IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. NOT ONLY DID HE ONCE BECAME THE RULER OF THE MULTIVERSE, BUT HE HAS BEATEN A MULTIVERSE LEVEL THREAT! CONSIDER THANOS A PUSSYCAT COMPARED TO DOOM.

He's EXTREMELY Powerful Because He Can Actually Manipulate Reality In The "Real" World (Our Universe) So Being In The Marvel Multiverse Is Like 3 Dimensional Being On A 2 Dimensional Plane.

Marvel: we need to make someone even more powerful. Employee 1: what about god. But the god of Stan Lee. Employee 2: that’s over powered. Employee 1: well... we have doom

The Marquis of Death used Tsukiyomi with no Sharingan... this guy is easily on par/above The Living Tribunal

Rob i kno you might not see this but your videos have legit got me threw some long hard days!! i seriously appreciate what you do for us!! Rob Corps. for life

The Marquis of Death made Galactus Hawkeye

This is what annoys me about Marvel. You've got characters like the Marquis of Death, who are these insanely powerful cosmic entities, and yet, a lot of them are basically just Humans... HUMANS!? I mean ffs, the Marquis of Death sounds almost like Nyarlathotep from the Cthulhu Mythos, and he's a HUMAN?!!? No. just... no. Awesome vid tho dude, keep it up!

Okay but can the Marquis of Death see why kids love the taste cinnamon toast crunch??

Weak, squirrel girl would totally obliderate him

I love how excited Rob gets talking about these topics. It's infectious. For me, I never find the power levels that impressive because they have no organic nature to them. It's just written, this person killed that one and blew everything up etc... So it's almost watered down like when children play and constantly just keep changing the rules to make themselves win. A difference, for example, is World Breaker Hulk. He has a descriptive power source so it's easier to understand his power level increasing in a realistic (if fantastical) way that doesn't just seem tacked on. But they never have a good description for the source of power, so it just makes everyone seem weak. Like Odin, being an All-Father, but then... nope he's just not because someone is just stronger. Well you already used the word "almighty" so now the sense of power in that word is lost. It's kinda like printing money, where it no longer matters if you say you have $10 billion. It's cool when they describe immense powers, but it's so clearly just to create excitement, and then it will never ever make sense when the person is defeated. So far to date, it never has, so it also deflates the interest in the story. That's why God-level powers are hard for stories because if God is involved it's GG. Literally, that's what the word means. I would love to see something explain how the reality-warp power manipulators struggle against each other, gain energy, and lose energy. That would help give the characters and story weight and drama.

14:13 We actually do have the answer. The Ivory Kings decreed That each and every Molecule Man would be alike.

So no ones mentioned that rob kind of looks like the comic book guy who was talking to Toby behind the counter at 1:57? lol

so R. Richard is even worse than the worst villain because of his stupid sense of justice? multiverses got destroyed because he couldnt perform a task with 3 choices to save the multiverse. doesnt that make him the worst villain?

Seen this video 4-5 times now over the years. Still my favorite Comics Explained video. Awesome story.

Huh, so real world in the comic is 12-18? That's satisfying since Stan Lee was born in December, and also passed away on Nov. 12th 2018 (Twelfth day & the year ending in eighteen.) That lines up almost too perfect. Rest easy Stan.

I just realized something; this is pretty much what happens when someone from our actual universe goes to any comic universe. They are immediately the most powerful ever, with the ability to retcon, write and make comics. Same thing that happened with Superboy Prime....who came from our universe, the universe of no super heroes. Pretty much he is just a comic book fan/writer.

Pretty sure the most powerful mutant ever is Squirrel Girl. There's nothing more powerful than plot armour.

So at one point Doom married himself right? Even if it was in his mind

I love how excited you sound whenever you talk about this stuff.

In Marvel, every other character can warp reality.

So the real question is is The Marquis of Death truly dead or is he just testing Dr Doom and the world?

It always puts a smile on my face to hear you so elated when talking about comic media you love. It’s great to hear someone truly happy with their job and excited to meet fans. Stay safe during COVID and all the best brother.

1:56 Cool how King Gidorah and Jet Jaguar from the Godzilla franchise are in the background.

Marvel has too many of these characters that exhibit power beyond the cosmic level Aspects that them dying should be impossible.

Weird thing is the Marvel Multiverse has an infinite amount of universes, which means that SOMEWHERE, theres an alternate Marquis of Death thats still alive

This also tells me how powerful Doctor Doom ACTUALLY IS himself .

Rob...this guy is insane and this story is by far one of the best I've read. As usual, Great job, Rob.

best version of dr.doom ever

Thank you to the person who told Rob about this character, very cool to learn about this.

Sounds like all the Marquis of Death just needed a hug but on a serious note this needs to be a movie

I subbed simply because I love how excited you get in your videos. It gets me going 😂

i recomended this guy like 2 months ago, i tought he never do it, im really glad he did

Marquis of death pulling out the infinite tsukuyomi on em😂😂😂

Bro. I just found your videos. You're so hype. I love it. Keep explaining!

i'll bet as a comic reader you finding this hidden gem was GREAT! probably not too many characters you have not heard of. i could hear the excitement in your voice.

Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that the maquis of death and superboy prime are from realities that are suppose to be our earth and have zero weaknesses and super powerful?

Bro can we PLEASE get an in depth study on DOOM? Please! Please! Please!

I like your videos man, helps fill in gas of series I couldn't read and connecting old comics I have. Keep up the great content man!

i dont know how to ever retell this to others😂😂 so complex

Seeing that the marquis of death didn't know dr doom was his secret apprentice i bet he dosen't have omniscience

So the Marquis of Death is a version of Matthew Malloy with a billion years of developing his powers.

I could be wrong, but I feel like there was a nod to the Marquis of Death in Multiverse of Madness, there was a single shot of a statue at mount wundagore that looked suspiciously like him...

Man. I keep rewatching this video. Absolutely love this guy since you made video.

The Marquis being Doom's master Is a stupid idea to me. Doom doesn't bow to no one.

Powerful as he was, Doom kicked his ass. Thats why Doom has always been my favorite villain along with Thanos. I love these master strategists.

Bud I just wanna say, Your videos are high quality and the explanations you but together are even more so! I don't read Marvel comics, but I feel as though I wouldn't enjoy them as much as your videos about them!

Fantastic! Keep up the good work Rob!

Bro he so powerful he had to kill himself & Doom took the cheap finishing shot

I've always found the idea of characters like Franklin Richards and the Marquis of Death completely asinine. Not because of their power, but because of why they have that power. They are mutants, and that's all the explanation we are given. Why is this an issue? Because mutants are the result of the Celestials experimenting with the genes of humanity. Why is THIS an issue? Because they are way too powerful for that explanation. Being planet level and even galaxy level is acceptable to an extent. But to be such massive multi-versal threats like Franklin Richards and the Marquis of Death is so ridiculous because that power is so far above the Celestials it's not even funny. The Marquis of Death may even be able to take down the Living Tribunal. The power of these guys being so far above the cosmic entities when they are simply the result of the Celestials experimenting with humans thousands of years ago is just dumb in my opinion. TL;DR Guys being this powerful simply by being mutants is dumb to me.

Bruh, I could watch your videos all day. I love how passionate you get.

And all this started because he just wanted his comics.

He's back with the character explanations! F**k yeah! It's a good time to be in the Rob core! 💪 Keep up the good work Rob! You are EASILY my favorite comic channel / KZfaq channel!

So I decided to look into the alternate realities shown in this video: Earth-1219: Where the 1985 story takes place. Similar to our world, with the exception of Clyde Wyncham Jr: the only mutant in that world. Earth-807128: The Marquis Of Death originated from this reality. Earth-93563: Mr. Fantastic & The Human Torch (Jack Storm) got married. The Marquis Of Death & his apprentice killed every superhero and villain on Earth, and made the sun go supernova. One of the many realities visited by the Marquis.

I keep coming back to this video! I love this one

Two of my favorite story lines and I had no clue they were conected. Time to reread them. Thanks Brotha!

I'm so glad you covered this, lol. This was my favorite Fantastic Four arc cause I love Doctor Doom so much.
