Doctor Doom is the mythic legendary creature at collector number 394 in Marvel Super Heroes, arriving on June 26, 2026. The Fantastic Four's greatest enemy takes his place in Magic.
Fun fact
Doom did not get his backstory right away. He made his debut in The Fantastic Four #5, and his full origin followed roughly two years later in Fantastic Four Annual #2 (1964). For a character who now feels inseparable from his armor and his tragic past, that is a long stretch of mystery behind the mask.
Its story in Marvel Comics
Doctor Doom was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. He quickly became the archenemy of the Fantastic Four, and within his first decade he had turned up in titles well beyond their own, including The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man and Daredevil. That reach made him one of Marvel's most widely used villains. He has since appeared in almost every adaptation of the Fantastic Four franchise, across films, television series and video games.
Its legend among collectors
A Doom card carries weight before anyone reads the rules text. This one is a mythic, and the art is credited to Larry Lieber and Vince Colletta, a pairing that gives the card a classic comic-page pedigree. For fans who collect Magic and Marvel alike, a headline villain sits at the crossover of both hobbies.
In the game
Doom brings his own army: when he enters, he creates two 3/3 colorless Doombot artifact creature tokens. Those robots help keep him sturdy, since he gains indestructible while you control an artifact creature or a Plan. At the beginning of your end step he draws you a card at the cost of 1 life, a fitting deal for a man who never gives anything away for free.
