The first fiat is the Pax Victoris , declare that war between country is now criminalize , demanding a lasting pacification between his raw provinces . Doctor Doom’ssecond decree establishes that every citizen of Earth will be reach devoid universal health care and access to high-pitched pedagogy , which are non - negotiable .

Doctor Doom’s Global Takeover Feels Like A Good Thing (So Far)
There’s Gotta Be A Catch, Right? Right??
thing sure enough get more fantastical asOne World Under Doom # 1continues . guinea pig in point , Doom wipes out Hydra ride a T - Rex variant of himself while confirm he ’d already killed both Baron Zemo and Red Skull . Doom was unwilling to tolerate the ongoing bigotry and hate from these Nazi leaders who take an organization of terrorists and racist Marvel ’s hero had been unable to in full overcome since WWII … and the world ’s novel emperor butterfly did it in a unmarried day .
It ’s also worth noting that Doom had Hydra clearing land mines and construction schools and hospitals by instal a Doombot written matter of Zemo to give them orders , at least until the Avengers expose the truth , call up they ’d found evidence that Doom might have also replaced world leaders . Having been betray , Hydra lashes out at the public , forcing Doom to take them out completely .
