*Victor von Doom had everything a man could want: wealth, power and good looks. But the insecure man also wanted to finally get out of the shadow of his old college rival, Reed Richards. Funding Reed's space mission with an unfair deal, von Doom finally had power over Reed. As part of the agreement, von Doom insisted he go along for the ride and came home with much more than he had bargained. The destructive cosmic rays that hit Reed's craft caused von Doom's skin to turn to a steely armor and give him superhuman strength and the ability to shoot lethal electrical blasts. Doctor Doom has sworn revenge against Reed, and the Fantastic Four, with a hatred more fierce than any ever known to man. *Source: Back of card
