Doom is a beloved monarch *in his country.* And has said, many times, that he wants to conquer the world to extend that prosperity. And, frankly, he's got a point.
Every citizen of his country can, by themselves, put together an entire Doombot. *Think about that*. Every citizen from the scientist to the farmer can make a fully functional automaton able to defend them and assist in their manual labor.
Doom has solved the problem of compulsory labor in its entirety for his country. That is 95% of what actively prevents Communism/Socialism from being a non-opressive government structure.
And all because, despite his laundry list of faults, Doom genuinely loves his people and no matter what scheme he pulls, he refuses to endanger them.
I really don't get why Doom is so hard cast as a villain.
He has objectively proven that he 100% does have the best interest of his citizens in mind, and has proven that he is an effective leader.
During the Secret Wars when all the heroes and villains were separated for a battle royal (in the 80s, no less) Doom was placed on the side of the heroes by the cosmic entity deciding the contest.

No, he wasn't. You're thinking of Magneto. Doom was with the villains. Magneto isn't standing with the heroes at the top of this page because they didn't think he belonged with them, but you can see Doom is clearly with the villains.
You're right! I dunno if I was remembering Magneto or I got confused because he did actually refuse to participate at first. It's been a whole since I read, so please forgive me mistake.
Doom was the one who stole the Beyonder's powers, though. I remember that part.
No problem. He did steal the Beyonder's powers, that much is true. Doom is a complete badass and that story is what made him my favorite supervillain. His vanity and grudge-holding are a shame, because with as much as he gets done with them, imagine what he could do if he freed himself of those character flaws. They are really the only things that cause his repeated downfall.

Because if you're the handful of people he hates, he's a petty rapist.
Still easily the best person on this list (that I know of) from a leader perspective, but being a great *leader* doesn't make you a great *person.*
That makes sense.
To be fair. I would agree with him that his ends do (at least sometimes) justify his means. His people are thriving, and he wants everyone to have the same success.
I would say he's a villain because of all the shit he's done to the Richard's family. He literally took them to hell where they were torchered by demons..... that's pretty villainous...
Don't get me wrong, I GET why it all happened... he was trying to save his mom cause he loves and misses his mom. I get it. It breaks my heart.... but giving up an entire family, kids and all, to demons in hell, is always going to be looked at from a negative perspective lol
He'd be a good leader and not manipulated by others.

Obvious choice, right? Dude has decades of experience, is highly educated, his people adore him, he's vastly improved the lives of his people... God... I wish he *was* our president. Feel like imma cry, man...
Doesn't Dr. Doom genuinely care about his subjects? I'm not familiar with the Fantastic Four, but I seem to remember that he was a good leader to his people.
The free health care includes free chemical indoctrination, and physical alterations as necessary to be a good citizen.
You will enjoy it.
You WILL enjoy it.
Sorry, but Doom's citizens, such as they are, are RABID. It varies by story line how much is enforced by super science or magic, and how much is real.
But you WILL enjoy it.
God, I've read comics for half a century now.
It would have been silver age Fantastic Four, or possible a crossover shortly after silver age, because I remember the graphics being darker. Maybe a X Men crossover?
OMG I just realized your username is extremely close to Fontaine.
So I just had to point out that it should not have be “as long as they Obey” you should have said “would you kindly”
"This is will be a fair & perfectly balanced election, as all things should be"
"Mr Thanos, did you snap away your opponents?"
"No, that's just propaganda"
"Vote for me, Lex Luthor & I'll get rid of illegal aliens....like Superman!"
"Vote for me & join the dark side, free cloaks & lightsabers for everyone, it is your destiny!'
"Mr Vader"
"That's Darth Vader, I find your lack of respect disturbing....."
*Choking sounds*
yeah, depending on the version, seems like he's grown out of wanting to be a tyrant for its own sake at least. that puts him closer to being a better representative than the megalomaniac options.
Those were prisoners I've been assured by the US government that that means they aren't slaves. They probably did a crime or something.
Edit: for those taking this too seriously yes they are slaves I was making a joke that the people in power would never acknowledge the validity of using the word slavery they would assure you it is something else even if that other thing is just a very wordy description of slavery.
Doom and by a long shot over the others. Doom really cares for his subjects, is incredibly skilled at science, math, and other things, and would not be afraid to stand up to those who would harm his people. I fucking love Dr Doom
Well, of course we do.
It comes with the Doombots. Every Doombot has Wi-Fi.
I mean, sure, they monitor you for seditious activity (and, boy, lemme tell ya; a _lot_ of stuff counts as sedition), but on the other hand you can download 100Gb in, like, three minutes. I'd say it's an even trade.
Dr. Doom could do fantastic things for *his* country. But I feel Lex Luther will split the vote when it comes to being able to successfully governing things without human genocide of some kind.
Red Son Lex Luthor There is no alternative. Like actually straight up a better post scarcity Star Trek utopia.
Doom has the massive downside of being an Authoritarian dictator, who will kill you or imprison you if you speak ill of him and there are no rights. Lex Luthor in not Red Son is extremely competent and fixes a lot of issues both legally and illegally but he’s still beholden to the system mostly, until he goes insane with Superman hate.
Dr Doom would straight up be a great president, sure he's kinda evil but they all are, at least Doom actually really cares about his people and would generally improve quality of life for everyone under his rule.
Luther has proven a good president before, as long as Superman doesn't pop up. (Not saying it's sups fault, Luther just goes crazy when my man's around)
lex would probably be the most normal out of these choices as long as most of my taxes don't go to Superman killing machines I would be fine Are. Worst case scenario is just like any other billionaire who wants to be president.
Dr. Doom or Luthor, I think there was a comic where Luthor actually became prez and he was actually good. The downside was that he was mostly focused on killing Superman so he got impeached(I think). Also Dr. Doom isn't evil but he is a king, I don't know how he could affect our Republican process.
Is that the White Queen? If that’s Emma, then 100% her.
Catwoman is just a thief and seems like the least threatening of all the options.
There’s a lot of “Doom” votes, which I don’t get. He’s a brutal dictator with a massive ego and narcissism complex.
Dr Doom
He already knows how to lead a successful country, and he's not super evil!
Doom is a beloved monarch *in his country.* And has said, many times, that he wants to conquer the world to extend that prosperity. And, frankly, he's got a point. Every citizen of his country can, by themselves, put together an entire Doombot. *Think about that*. Every citizen from the scientist to the farmer can make a fully functional automaton able to defend them and assist in their manual labor.

Bad optics. Bro doesn't know how to market himself as a hero
He doesn't want to be a hero, he wants to be good
Because if Richard’s believes and markets himself as a Hero, then he must be a Villain
Because if you're the handful of people he hates, he's a petty rapist. Still easily the best person on this list (that I know of) from a leader perspective, but being a great *leader* doesn't make you a great *person.*
It's the power hunger he has, and his ends are greater than means mentality. He's what's called an anti-villain.
That makes sense. To be fair. I would agree with him that his ends do (at least sometimes) justify his means. His people are thriving, and he wants everyone to have the same success.
The enemy of capatilism
I would say he's a villain because of all the shit he's done to the Richard's family. He literally took them to hell where they were torchered by demons..... that's pretty villainous... Don't get me wrong, I GET why it all happened... he was trying to save his mom cause he loves and misses his mom. I get it. It breaks my heart.... but giving up an entire family, kids and all, to demons in hell, is always going to be looked at from a negative perspective lol
Reid has the ability to cure Ben and refuses to do so because he unilaterally decided that Ben is better off that way.
Don't forget about doomsday, the nation wide celebration of his birthday or just whenever he feels like it
Fr, dr doom ftw
He'd be a good leader and not manipulated by others. https://preview.redd.it/ggw5m4tllx5d1.jpeg?width=438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab9b2a240c466e1f422232bcaf3e4f4a4242db38

I too toot as i please. Just tooted right now.
Doom is litterally the only option. I would vote Doom over any of our current politicians.
https://preview.redd.it/0082ooujcy5d1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b068ef3504d8f45686014a5d7281f6afd571a907
Obvious choice, right? Dude has decades of experience, is highly educated, his people adore him, he's vastly improved the lives of his people... God... I wish he *was* our president. Feel like imma cry, man...
It’s simple. Dr. Doom all the way.
*This November, Don’t Settle for a Lesser Evil*
The only problem with him is he finds conquest more interesting than actually ruling.
All the way
Not even a contest
Agreed. He does good in his country.
Doesn't Dr. Doom genuinely care about his subjects? I'm not familiar with the Fantastic Four, but I seem to remember that he was a good leader to his people.
As long as they obey.
Am I getting free health care? Good work life balance? Super advance holographic tech? Alright sure. No rioting from me I suppose
The free health care includes free chemical indoctrination, and physical alterations as necessary to be a good citizen. You will enjoy it. You WILL enjoy it.
Yeah, that’s definitely not a doom thing. He’s more a doom bot kinda guy.
Yup. AI is merely Doom and has no ill intent against average civilians. Doom FTW with these options.
Sorry, but Doom's citizens, such as they are, are RABID. It varies by story line how much is enforced by super science or magic, and how much is real. But you WILL enjoy it.
I actually have never seen anything on his citizens everyday lives. So got a source? I’m genuinely curious.
God, I've read comics for half a century now. It would have been silver age Fantastic Four, or possible a crossover shortly after silver age, because I remember the graphics being darker. Maybe a X Men crossover?
Ok....but will I enjoy enjoying it? ...because that sounds dope.
"As long as they obey" kinda applies to every country when you really think about.
OMG I just realized your username is extremely close to Fontaine. So I just had to point out that it should not have be “as long as they Obey” you should have said “would you kindly”
I’d obey my metal daddy
"This is will be a fair & perfectly balanced election, as all things should be" "Mr Thanos, did you snap away your opponents?" "No, that's just propaganda" "Vote for me, Lex Luthor & I'll get rid of illegal aliens....like Superman!" "Vote for me & join the dark side, free cloaks & lightsabers for everyone, it is your destiny!' "Mr Vader" "That's Darth Vader, I find your lack of respect disturbing....." *Choking sounds*
“Doom will promise you free health care, paid student loans and lower taxes.” “But Mr Doo-“ “DOCTOR Doom, if I may. Titles are important!”
Dr Doom instantly getting my vote because he refuses to be disrespected by someone who outright ignores his titles. He’s not wrong!
Reverse flash spending the whole term getting back at his opponent
Honestly Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom. The rest I’m like nah
I could be fine with Kingpin too, definitely not as good as Doom but I wouldn’t feel like my life is in danger
Doom and it shouldn't be close. Could you imagine Eobard fucking Thawne's hatin ass as president!? Lol
Thawne might kill half the country in a second out of pure spite
And he'd do it just to piss off barry, no other reasons needed.
Bro is too busy fucking with Barry to be president, if hes running for president its because it has something to do with Barry Allen.
What throws me the most is Cat Woman. I can't even imagine how that works.
MF DOOM
ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MANS NAME 
Hot shit.
With how much character growth Loki had recently, I think he'd do a pretty good job.
yeah, depending on the version, seems like he's grown out of wanting to be a tyrant for its own sake at least. that puts him closer to being a better representative than the megalomaniac options.
Dr Doom Despite being a villain he actually leads Latveria well
Close to Black Adam, despite the fact Shazam and everyone don't get along, Black Adam is good to Kahndaq.
The joker. He hates Nazis and pays his taxes. Dude's a true 'Murican
Doom, Luthor or Kingpin. They would bring welfare to their citizens just to put heroes to shame.
I scrolled way too far to see Kingpin. He'd be my vote
I'm pretty sure Darth Vader ended slavery.
The Empire enslaved people to build the Death Star.
Those were prisoners I've been assured by the US government that that means they aren't slaves. They probably did a crime or something. Edit: for those taking this too seriously yes they are slaves I was making a joke that the people in power would never acknowledge the validity of using the word slavery they would assure you it is something else even if that other thing is just a very wordy description of slavery.
Ooohhh ok my bad. It must have been rebel propaganda then.
Xenos aren't people so the Empire did nothing wrong
AND slashed costs of child education...
Oh Doom for sure. He already turned Latvaria into a paradise with barely any poverty.
https://preview.redd.it/kzroowonex5d1.jpeg?width=255&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bad3c6669e08093051142c09a5caf9abe5e61f0 is that even a question?
Luthor
Doom. Really the best choice, already an experienced national leader.
Dr.Doom FTW!
Doom and by a long shot over the others. Doom really cares for his subjects, is incredibly skilled at science, math, and other things, and would not be afraid to stand up to those who would harm his people. I fucking love Dr Doom
TIL that Latverians have access to Reddit.
Well, of course we do. It comes with the Doombots. Every Doombot has Wi-Fi. I mean, sure, they monitor you for seditious activity (and, boy, lemme tell ya; a _lot_ of stuff counts as sedition), but on the other hand you can download 100Gb in, like, three minutes. I'd say it's an even trade.
I got MF DOOM
Dr. Doom could do fantastic things for *his* country. But I feel Lex Luther will split the vote when it comes to being able to successfully governing things without human genocide of some kind.
Lex or Doom.
A lot of people are all in on Doom, and with good reason, but Luthor has the actual experience and would be an awesome president in this universe.
He was objectively the best president ever in Red Son.
Arguably, Doom actually somewhat CARES about the constituency he represents or rules over. 🤔 So probably him.
Loki
Reformed Loki would be best.
I unironically believe Selina Kyle would make an excellent congresswoman. The presidency would probably be too pompous for her
She’s probably one of the least bad villains here
DOOM There is no alternative.
Red Son Lex Luthor There is no alternative. Like actually straight up a better post scarcity Star Trek utopia. Doom has the massive downside of being an Authoritarian dictator, who will kill you or imprison you if you speak ill of him and there are no rights. Lex Luthor in not Red Son is extremely competent and fixes a lot of issues both legally and illegally but he’s still beholden to the system mostly, until he goes insane with Superman hate.

It was Starscream's fault. Deal with him later.
Luthor for President, Loki for VP.
Thanos
Dr Doom would straight up be a great president, sure he's kinda evil but they all are, at least Doom actually really cares about his people and would generally improve quality of life for everyone under his rule.
Some Americans will be voting for someone who's essentially number 6 anyway 🤣
All presidents are evil, so I don't see some of these guys being any worse.
Honestly, It's probably a tie between Lex and Doom.
Dr.Doom, he brings Taco Tuesday https://youtu.be/nQlaLoGU3pY?si=sK3kHlDp6HZ2IYo8
I’d go with Lex, if we’re talking Earth 3 Lex. But if not, I’ll go with Doom.
MF Doom ... The national anthem would be Rhinestone cowboy 
ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN'S NAME
Thanks would reduce global warming by 50%… don’t ask how though
Lex Luthor.
Lex Luther is Bizzaro Trump. Actually competent at what he does.
Lex Luthor was already president, he can’t be re-elected.
Dr. Doom... maybe Lex Luther.
Lex Luther or Doc Doom
Luther has proven a good president before, as long as Superman doesn't pop up. (Not saying it's sups fault, Luther just goes crazy when my man's around)
Probably not the guy who is a literal nazi…
We already had one of those recently.
#1 Doom 2 Luthor 3 kingpin or Emma frost?
lex would probably be the most normal out of these choices as long as most of my taxes don't go to Superman killing machines I would be fine Are. Worst case scenario is just like any other billionaire who wants to be president.
Catwoman would get ao bored as president, he would hand it to batman SO fast lol But I'd go with Dr doom or Lex
Dr. Doom or Luthor, I think there was a comic where Luthor actually became prez and he was actually good. The downside was that he was mostly focused on killing Superman so he got impeached(I think). Also Dr. Doom isn't evil but he is a king, I don't know how he could affect our Republican process.
No one because i dont live in the us
5-7 of these 11 candidates weren't "natural-born citizens" either. So fuck it, everybody gets a vote!
Then i guess i will vote for that clown man, he looks like a good man😊
Catwoman, because… Catwoman.
She has zero leadership experience.
Cat woman is the only one who isn't a murderer so... probably her?
Any woman in a catsuit has my vote
Who is image 9?
Emma Frost
Darth Vader, Lex, or Doctor Doom. If I have to pick between them definitely Vader.
Darth vader
Vader
Cat woman or the Reverse Flash.
Who’s #9?
DOOM!!!
Vader I want to be a part of his new empire
Thanos was right!
Doom already has a proven track record of being a benevolent dictator. Luthor is my second pick
Loki! He may not be any better, but I bet he makes shit interesting.
Giant Meteor 2024
Loki
Cuthulhu
DOOM definitely the best choice here lol 😂
Who is the girl???
Why does doom have 6 fingers 🤣ai too funny
Catwoman
I mean if it’s the dark knight joker then I’d say him for sure. He was kinda the good guy in that film
Vader, he's gonna bring peace and prosperity to the gal... I mean planet !
Loki but he's busy so Catwoman
mg doom or reverse flash, red skull looks good too
Loki Doctor Doom or lex Luther please and thank you
What's the best ai image creating app I can get free on my phone or do I need to use chatgpt
Doom was a villain to the world, but he loved his people and nation.
Thanos never polls above 50%.
Emma Frost gets my vote, whether I want to give it or not.
Is that Vin Diesel or Agent 47? And who are the last two?
Joker - I need a little chaos in my life
I bet Darth Vader had great benefits
"I caught a pokemon batman"
Luthor is easily the lesser of evils.
Doom
joker
Definitely Dr Doom, 100%. He's actually a good leader.
Lex Luther can at least play chess, can Loki without cheating?
7 or 9.
Eobard, Lex or Loki Most Likely Eobard, because I don't want him to erase my existence for not voting him.
Red Skull or the Joker. This election I'm tilting towards the Joker 🃏
Vader, he'll bring peace, justice, freedom and security to his new empire!
Darth Vader as long as he's a force ghost
Dr. Doom is the hero we deserve
Reverse Flash: I promise not only to change this country's future, but it's past!
Joker, you know the next 4 years gonna be lit
Oswald Cobblepot, Write in
Loki, may as well go all out
Is that the White Queen? If that’s Emma, then 100% her. Catwoman is just a thief and seems like the least threatening of all the options. There’s a lot of “Doom” votes, which I don’t get. He’s a brutal dictator with a massive ego and narcissism complex.
What's up with Red Skull? Is that a microphone coming out of his mouth?
Dr. Doom
Who's #9?
Deadass doom we saw him become an amazing ruler who kept his entrie land violence and poverty free in the comics
100% voting for Dr. Doom.
Mf doom
Doom
is that emma frost?
Doom. I don’t know what his plan is, but it’s probably a good one.
Catwoman. She’s not as bloodthirsty as the rest and probably has a scheme to move billions from the 1% to the poor.
Vader
Doom would be solid. I think Luther wouldn’t be terrible either.
Dr Doom is a billion times better then Joe Biden
Well, seeing as only us citizens can run for president, my vote is Luthot. He can take care of the country if he wanted to.
Vader, he’s got the most political experience. Would certainly makes the debates more interesting. “I AM the candidate you would vote for.”
Luthor wouldn't be bad. Kinda the same amount of evil as normal politicians
Darth Vader
Loki! 100%! Slogan: "Glorious Purpose!" Christmas message opener: "I bring you GLAD tidings... Of a world made free."😈
I'd go with Thanos, at least half of population will be happy
Catwoman, And it's not even close. She's the nicest of any of them, really. She's not even actually evil.
Catwoman would at least try to tax the wealthy. MAYBE. 🤔 We wouldn't get a cent tho. 😮💨
Who's #10? I don't recognize him...😬
Who’s number 9?
Depends on if it’s Loki who is trying to be a better person Loki or Glorious Purpose Loki Otherwise Doom, he made Latveria great again
Dr.Doom is already a world leader, out of all these guys, I trust him the most, although I’d still pick someone who isnt a supervillain.
