Let us take a look at Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2 Episode 8 The Might of Doom. As you may expect from the title, this episode features Iron Man going up against Doctor Doom, who is working with Obadiah Stane on Project Iron Monger in exchange for the Iron Man armor specifications. Yet a battle with Doom is rarely what it seems and even a deal with Doom is not.

 Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2 Episode 8 the Might of Doom

Doctor Doom is a hard villain to get right. The primary villain of the Fantastic Four and he’s been in many animated adaptions of the show. Also he’s fought  pretty much everyone in the Marvel Universe from Spider-Man to the X-Men to of course Iron Man. He’s a rather difficult character to get right as he’s been hit or miss in many animated adaptations of his character. Even in the comic books, Doctor Doom has been hit or miss. Granted the worst moments of poor characterization can be white washed into…a doombot did it. That’s really the catch all explanation.

Needless to say, they got Doom rather right in this episode. He was a rather menacing and dangerous villain. And he was more than a threat. The more magical element of Doom was also kept, but it wasn’t really magic. Rather super science, the bending of quantum energy to maintain the illusion of magic. Granted, I’m not the smartest at science, so I’m sure it may have bugged someone more knowledgeable, but it really did work for me.

Doom’s armor, which I found interesting, is that the technology used to base the armor, was based off of a similar design of the Makulan rings. That was rather fascinating. Speaking of which, after a few episodes away from it, we find that the seventh ring has been found.

I did enjoy Stane’s toadying to Doom and Doom not taking any of it. Doom is above these sorrid affairs. That’s why he is in fact Doom. And everyone should have seen Doom double crossing Stane.

So yes this was a good episode. Action packed with good characterization and a good plot. I really thought this was one of the better versions of Doctor Doom. I’ll give this episode a 9/10.
