Doctor Doomsday (aka: Victor Von Doom) is a supervillain in the Amalgam Comics world, who fought against the Challengers of the Fantastic, Magnetic Men, Judgement League Avengers and the X-Patrol, and has appeared more times than any other Amalgam Comics supervillain. His first appearance was in a battle against the X-Patrol in X-Patrol #1.
Doctor Doomsday's appearance constantly changes between each series, but is always portrayed as a muscular Doctor Doom with spikes on his bio-armour. His attempts of conquest appear to be to conquer only the Amalgam Comics Universe by forcing the Marvel and DC universes into a battle to help him seize power.
On more than one occasion, Dr. Doomsday has been mentioned as an ally to Thanoseid, and is described by various Amalgam Comics superheroes as something close to evil incarnate. He also assisted Thanoseid during the unpublished Secret Crisis of the Infinity Hour.
During the Challengers of the Fantastic comic, Dr. Doomsday stole the powers of the Silver Racer to use to attack the Challengers immediately after a battle with Galactiac (As Doctor Doom had done with the Silver Surfer), but was defeated single-handedly by Sue Storm.
Dr. Doomsday is an amalgamation of Marvel Comics' Doctor Doom and Doomsday of DC Comics.

[edit] Origins
Victor von Doom was Proyect Cadmus Chief Scientist. He assisted in experimenting with cosmic-ray shielding from a secure base on Earth while the future Challengers of the Fantastic monitored progress from a space shuttle. Not content for his friends to steal all the glory, von Doom deactivated the shielding and fled as the shuttle crashed on Earth.
Doctor Doom was obsessed with unlocking the genetic secrets within the fallen alien creature called Doomsday (who was defeated by Speed Demon). During Doom's examination, a bone fragment from the monster exploded in his face. The swiftly replicating DNA of the warlike monster transformed the handsome genius into the grotesque Doctor Doomsday.
[edit] Powers
Superstrength, supergenius-level intellect and the power of the rencarnation. If slain, he will return to life immune to whatever killed him.
[edit] Latkovia
Doctor Doomsday is the ruler of the island nation of Latkovia, situated somewhere in Europe, where he rules it from Castle Doomsday in the Capitol. It is described by Beastling as an unpopular tourist destination. In appearance, it is covered largely by forests, with buildings reminiscent of Romanian architecture.
Latkovia is also home to a group of villains known as the Tyrannoids, but it is unclear if they have any link to Dr. Doomsday himself. The only time Latkovia is ever seen is in X-Patrol #1.
Latkovia is a combination of Marvel Comics' Latveria and Markovia of DC Comics.
