6 Avengers: Doomsday Characters Who Can Fight Doctor Doom, Ranked By Their Chances Of Winning

by

The ultimate showdown with Doctor Doom will likely involve a massive battle, and the fate of everything may rest on the shoulders of the heroes and villains already confirmed for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. It appears that characters from different realities throughout the multiverse will unite to fight Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom in the new Avengers film.

When Doctor Doom arrives in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’ll face a united front of heroes including Sam Wilson’s Thunderbolts team, the X-Men (from the previous Fox films), the Fantastic Four, and heroes from Wakanda. While Marvel hasn’t revealed much about their plans for Doom, the large number of heroes assembled suggests he’ll be a powerful and significant threat.

Defeating him will likely take a combination of factors – things like Mr. Fantastic’s cleverness, Captain America’s strong leadership, and the high-tech resources of Wakanda. However, sheer strength and power will also be a critical element.

Most of the characters in the movie wouldn’t pose a significant threat to Doctor Doom. While heroes like Yelena Belova, Captain America (Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers), Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and the Human Torch are all powerful, they likely wouldn’t be enough to defeat him. However, there are a few characters in Avengers: Doomsday who could give him a real fight.

6. Magneto

Magneto, a major Marvel villain and the X-Men’s greatest enemy, will appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Ian McKellan will reprise his role as the character. Having previously fought alongside and against Professor X and the X-Men, it’s unclear if he’ll be an ally or enemy in the film. Given his complex history with both Namor and Doctor Doom – sometimes helping them, sometimes fighting them – a confrontation with either is definitely possible. He could end up teaming up with the Avengers, or potentially betraying them.

Magneto could be a hidden advantage in the fight against Doctor Doom. His ability to control metal is a powerful weapon that Doom might not anticipate, making him a potentially effective way to defeat Doom’s strong armor in the Avengers: Doomsday scenario.

Despite Magneto’s powerful abilities, comics have shown they aren’t always effective against him. His armor is incredibly advanced – he’s even been able to flip its magnetic field to block Magneto’s powers. He could potentially use this same strategy in Avengers: Doomsday.

5. Namor The Sub-Mariner

In Avengers: Doomsday, Namor the Sub-Mariner might have the best chance of initially gaining an advantage over Doctor Doom. Unlike traditional heroes, Namor isn’t a full-fledged superhero, making him a potential ally in Doom’s eyes. Beyond commanding a powerful army, Namor is incredibly strong, which is why Doom respects him.

These two are constantly switching between working together and betraying each other, so a fight between them is very likely – potentially giving Namor the chance to use his incredible power against Doom. While Namor could seriously injure Doom, it’s important to remember that Doom is a brilliant strategist and will almost certainly know Namor’s weaknesses and have a counter-plan ready if they clash.

4. The Thing

The Thing, a remarkably strong member of the Fantastic Four, is a major threat even to powerful villains like Doctor Doom. Throughout the classic comics, his incredible strength has been key to many of Doom’s defeats, allowing him to deliver powerful attacks.

In recent years, Doom has become much better at handling brute strength thanks to his growing mastery of magic and the improvements to his armor. Still, even with his armor boosting his power, he generally isn’t as strong as the Thing.

While the Thing likely wouldn’t win a direct fight against Doom in Avengers: Doomsday due to Doom’s powerful weapons, he could still significantly impact the battle.

3. Invisible Woman

While raw power isn’t the only way to defeat Doctor Doom, Sue Storm proves she’s one of Marvel’s most dangerous heroes, even without being incredibly strong. The comic Fantastic Four: First Steps highlights this well. Her ability to create force fields allowed her to actually harm Galactus – something almost no other Marvel character could do.

Doctor Doom has good reason to be worried about anyone powerful enough to challenge beings like Silver Surfer and Galactus. The comics demonstrate this, showing Invisible Woman successfully using force fields to penetrate his armor.

If Doctor Doom were to battle all the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’d likely target the Invisible Woman early on. If he can catch her off guard, he could quickly disable her before she can activate her protective force fields.

2. Thor

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is actually a bigger threat to Doctor Doom than the Thing. While both are powerful, Thor stands out because he’s one of Marvel’s strongest heroes, and he wields the incredibly powerful hammer Mjolnir along with the ability to control lightning.

Doctor Doom and Thor are evenly matched. While Doom has beaten Thor at his strongest, Thor is equally capable of defeating Doom. In a direct fight, Thor would likely win unless Doom can tap into an additional power source, similar to when he transforms into ‘Emperor Doom’.

1. Sentry

Sentry, a recent addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, could be a game-changer in a fight against Doctor Doom, especially if Yelena’s team faces him directly. Like his comic book counterpart, the MCU version of Sentry is considered one of the most powerful and dangerous beings on Earth.

Sentry is incredibly powerful, arguably the closest thing the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to Superman. He’s strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Marvel’s strongest heroes, like Thor and Hulk. While he’d be a huge help against a threat like Doctor Doom, using his power could potentially reawaken his dangerous alter ego, the Void.

Sentry’s darker side is actually a bigger danger than his heroic persona, Bob Reynolds. Some theories even suggest that Sentry might be unknowingly manipulated as part of Doctor Doom’s scheme in the Avengers: Doomsday storyline.
