However what if Unusual wasn’t revealing the entire fact? What if, when he was taking a look at all these variations of the long run, he went past their run-in with Thanos and noticed Doom carrying the acquainted face of Tony Stark? Within the blur of 4,000,605 futures, couldn’t Stark nonetheless very a lot stand out as the person in steel armor destroying actuality? Wouldn’t he have thought the one method to save actuality as we all know it was to information Stark into killing himself as a substitute?
Unusual was by no means the most important fan of Stark, however he might have felt he wanted to do every thing in his energy to keep away from the long run Doom is heading towards. Not but having actually grasped the nuances of the multiverse, Unusual might have assumed that in some unspecified time in the future, Stark fully loses it and turns into the last word model of his worldview in Age of Ultron, however as a substitute of making an attempt to manage every thing by constructing a swimsuit of armor all over the world, he may try to manage the multiverse, with catastrophic outcomes. Unusual might not have absolutely understood Doom’s unfamiliar armor, however his greatest wager might have been to discover a method to take Stark out of the equation regardless. These are the sorts of chilly selections Unusual has typically needed to make within the pages of Marvel Comics.
Although there’s lots to dissuade us from shopping for into this principle, like assuming Unusual wouldn’t have on a regular basis on the earth to discover these 4 million plus futures and set up the true distinction between Stark and Doom, there’s additionally a lot we don’t find out about how every thing comes collectively in Doomsday, and why Doom seems to be similar to Stark. We didn’t even get to see Doom’s face in The Incredible 4: First Steps, and we nonetheless don’t know the way Loki’s function because the steward of the multiverse impacts the unfolding of occasions.
Fan theories are simply that: theories. Most of them become nonsense. They’re enjoyable to speak about and poke holes in, however they’re all we’ve received till Marvel unveils extra of what Doomsday will deliver audiences later this 12 months. What we do know is that Downey Jr. has agreed to play Doom following his lengthy tenure as Iron Man for a really particular motive, and our present set of superheroes seems to be as much as Iron Man as a power for good. That could be their undoing.
