One World Under Doom (2025 series) #3

The Avengers meet with the Masters of Evil in their Impossible City headquarters. After some bickering and exchange of insults, they get down to business: Trying to bring down Doctor Doom, ruler of Earth. Captain Marvel outlines a plan to fight Doom but Mysterio points out that they have already failed to overthrow Doom twice, why would this third attempt work? Because this one is merely a distraction: while the bulk of the combined team are fighting Doom in Latveria, the three magical ones, Scarlet Witch, Baron Mordo, and Madelyne Pryor, will be investigating the world’s leaders, to find out what hold Doom has over them and to free them from it, thus destroying Doom’s hold over them….

And so the combined team arrives at the Latverian border and tries to break through the magical shield surrounding it. Doom arrives atop his Doomified T Rex and the hidden members of the team are revealed, Arcade shooting a radioactive bullet and Mysterio unveiling a big metal shredder. And then the combined Avengers and Masters of Evil hit Doom with everything they’ve got—and it doesn’t move him. Then Wanda contacts the Avengers to tell them what they have discovered: that Doom was not mind controlling world leaders or replacing them with Doombots; he merely negotiated to give them what they most wanted in exchange for their support. Doom’s only use of magic was to be in multiple places at once to carry out these negotiations efficiently. Then Doom has some news for them: there is a mass breakout at the Raft, the prison for supervillains So they have a choice: continue fighting Doom or do something that actually helps people. He then teleports them all to the Raft….

The news media reports on how the combined Avengers and Masters of Evil defeated the mass escape—which would not have happened had they not been in Europe trying to overthrow Doctor Doom. Doom makes a statement, thanking the heroes and villains for their service to the world and to Doom….

Dormammu watches from his realm and realizes that Doom is not maintaining the spells that bind Dormammu to his Dark Dimension…so he causes the Avengers to vanish and sets out to claim the Earth as his….
