Party!

>>25092431
Watch Lyja and Jonnhy interact. Should be highly entertaining. Should the pair of them wander off. Apear behind the thing say "That went well" and proceed to ask his opinion of using magic and technology to create a fly by mind system for fighter planes.

I really liked when we went on the daily show. Excellent bit of Quest there. Any other TV shows we could go on?

>>25092431

Is Logan attending for Laura? If not, then we shall go in his stead...

>>25092515
Lyja is in the courtyard, sir. Is she to go in disguise, or as herself?

>>25092519
Mr Logan and Mr Xavier will be attending privately in case of any anti mutant sentiment they may experience. Latveria isn't known for it's mutant populace, so may not be too accepting

Lucia, the 700 million should have procured us an additional 583 doombots, on top od our existing 100. We should have a total of 683.

We should leave most of parents evening to La Fey as we do not want to undermine her authority, though we might make an appearance. We should monitor RICHARDS as he is not to be trusted.

Additionally, please make the relevant inquiries into the financial status of Oscorp and Norman Osbourne as per my last post on yesterdays thread.

>>25092567

Lyja is a free citizen. She may do as she pleases. DOOM only requires her to conform to office standards during work hours. What she does 'off the clock' does not concern DOOM, assuming that it does not contradict DOOMS plans or intentions...

>>25092567
DOOM recommends that she go as herself. If Johhny were to discover that you had been dating him in an alternate form while working for DOOM he is likely to draw the wrong conclusion.

>>25092638
>>25092611
Of course, sir. She shouldn't draw too much attention, with the attempts to intergrate the other skrulls in Doomstadt

>>25092516
You have offers from Good morning America and the View, but I may be able to get a place on the Colbert report if you so desired

>>25092601
I know, sir. Some are still under construction
Good catch, sorry

Can we perform a population search of countries?
If not, I'd like to hire a PI for less than 1k to find one "Kamijou Touma"

>>25092601
I'd prefer to hobnob where appropriate

Keep an eye on the proceedings at LITT, to make sure that nothing untoward happens, as well as at the tavern that Storm and Grimm are at.

Meanwhile, now that our worldwide Skrull purge is complete, bring the Silent Stalkers back for regular maintenance and prepared to deploy on other missions.

Rolled 4, 20 = 24

Richards seems somewhat distracted throughout the meeting, though Susan seems very attentive.

Lyja heads down to Johnny's location. The old camera equipment has no sound, but they go to a booth to talk. Grimm keeps accidentally breaking glasses

>>25092601
Oscorp's stock is currently trading at $112.14 at a volume of 10 million. A recent slew of innovation in anti aging serum has interested investors

>>25092601
Why do they only have 3 different adverts?

>>25092895
We have scrying magic right? That has sound

>>25092516
Whilst it was fun, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. Though, others might. Who knows?

Lucia really does seem to have some media pull though. Guess Prime ministers get what they want

>>25092895
How go the efforts to get Octavius a TED Talk?

See to purchasing 100,000 shares of Oscorp for $112,140,000.

As for going on another television show, neither of them seem very palatable. Does the BBC wish an interview? Or perhaps the Times?

>>25092660
>You have offers from Good morning America and the View
Both sound adequate. Is Oprah still on the air in this timeline? If so, see if we can get a spot there as well. Lucia herself may be a better choice for The View, since they're more female-centric. Colbert report... maybe.

>>25092895
Begin buying up stock of Oscorp through Porsche and other subsidiaries.

Did we get those stock-photos of Iron Man I asked about at the end of last thread? The ones to use as part of an ad campaign for Victor's Fine Clothing?

>>25092998
You want to buy one percent of the company?

>>25093021
It's a start. The dividends from that should help finance further purchases.

>>25093018
Lucia still has 5th degree burns, though

Lurker assorted Notes 1/2:
Have "Namor's Pillow" painted into the side of one of Starks red ships

ship names - like Doom's Might, though as that was not a given choice, would support those names that have "Victory" in them.

spend Parker's charity money, either we never did or I missed the post - Lucia may have taken care of this.

keep an eye on/out for Nova and the current Ghost Rider

Attain Uru

ask Magneto about Asteroid M

Compare the Shi'ar Adamantium to known Earth Variants

take a look at those materials Blackbolt requested

>>25092895
Let's make a note to review whatever "break through" they've made. If its a flop we can publish our findings, tank the stock price, and take over the company on the cheap. If it shows promise we can get in on the ground floor.

I assume it is because Oscorp's marketing department is severely underfunded. Or incompetent. Either one.

She has just told him of her involvement in his life for the past few months. He ordered something strong. Grimm appears to be trying to play darts

Cameras are picking up a sudden change in the population of one classroom, sir. I'll investigate further

>>25093018
Of course, sir. This should be relatively under the radar, so to speak. You now own 1% of Oscorp

>>25093115
Ah well whatever.
Was it so wrong to want to see Touma punch the shit out of someone?

>>25093021
Unless we're going all in and spending billions. Even then, I think Osborn still holds enough controlling shares to not lose his company; he's insane but not stupid.

>>25093146
>Cameras are picking up a sudden change in the population of one classroom, sir.
No, we will investigate this personally. If anyone asks, we are merely inspecting LITT's facilities as one of our holdings.

>>25093146
Make sure to give us regular reports on how lyja is doing.

>>25093179
Of course, sir. Classroom 12a. It may have something to do with the dispel wards in the doors.
You have a portal in Ms le Fey's office already

>>25092998
He's set to do a talk on the implications of unlimited energy in a few weeks, sir

>>25093198
Yes, sir.
I could attempt to get you one of these, if you wish, sir

>>25093236
one of what?

>>25093236
We will not use the portal in Morgana's office; it is both impolite and will disrupt her parent-teacher meetings.
Instead, we will create a new DoomPortal, to just outside Classroom 12a.

Lucia, have Doombot, Doomknight, and Timebot teams on standby in case this spreads to other classrooms.

Some demon thinks that it can insult DOOM by attacking his school? Deadpool will have much material for his Christmas and New Year's Specials.

Still, better to have a DoomPortal right next to the classroom; less chance of being seen, and more surprising to whatever is in the classroom.
We shall enter with a protection spell active.
We will step through the portal as soon as it is ready.

Not that I wish to make a habit of correcting your eminence, but surely this spell would be dispelled by the dispelling wards in the doorway?

>>25093422
Yes, it will. The question remains if whatever is inside will throw a projectile before or after we enter.
There will be a second between the opening of the door (if it is closed), before we step through, that we shall be framed in the doorway and be an inviting target.

Well then we should keep this quiet and done through an anonymous holding corporation. Our castle doesn't need pumpkin bombing.

>>25093468
You step through the portal, arriving in front of the Demonology classroom. The dispel wards around the room prevent you from seeing what's inside, but from what you can hear it doesn't sound like too many
You order the doomknights through the door ahead of you, then step through after them.
Doctor Steven Strange is stood before you, looking through a textbook

"Ah."

>>25093588
Me, I only seem to notice at the last second

>>25093588
Hello Steve.

>>25093544
True. If we can trigger a blatent psychotic episode and their research turns out to be a dead end, we could get a real bargain.

Easiest way to trigger is via Spider-Man, but we would have to give consideration on how to trigger it publicly.

>>25093588
"Dr. Strange. How do you find the textbook?
"Forgive the heavy-handedness of the greeting; unexpected magical activity and a sudden lack of people set off an alarm."

>>25093604
pretty much this.

>>25093629
We could use scrying magic to take a look at their research.
Osbourne is unlikely to have magical defenses around his labs, allowing us to see if there's anything of real value.

>>25093588
"Steven. Late, but not unwelcome. Forgive the show of force. Had you announced yourself, I would have known you were a guest and not an intruder. The security charms, and sensors, are rather sensitive. Especially in this room. Is the text to your satisfaction? I believe I covered the proper protective and precautionary measures well enough.

>>25093604
>>25093632
"Ah, yes, it's... Good. Very informative. About demons, which is why I checked in here. It's a long story, actually"

>>25093629
That would of course, devalue the stock you own, of course. Shall I sell it on?
>>25093662
I'll have your equipment ready for your return, sir

>>25093712
This. But a mention that a phone call or warning first is customary.

Welcome to my school Steven. Would you be interested in a tour or is there something else.your here for?

>>25093778
"Yes, well. Er, I was at the Baxter building, you see, and Reed was working on some kind of portal. But it must have backfired on me, as I was immediately transported to your headmaster's office. Now she was changing, but hadn't noticed me. I was wandering round the school and happened upon this room, which must have dispelled my invisibility spells. Yes. That's what happened. "

He probably also wouldn't screw up something DOOM has already accomplished months ago that badly. Otherwise DOOM would have defeated him years ago.

>>25093910
"Alright. Reed brought me here to make sure everything was above board, and that Valeria wasn't in any danger. I thought it best to ask you directly, but he said that'd just give you time to cover up any problems

Is it alright if I take some of these to review?"

He indicates to the books at the back of the room

>>25094043
"sure" (also scan/scry him for a glamor/ being skrull)

>>25094043
"Of course, Strange. DOOM has been using your recommendations for required reading for magical classes. If the texts are inadequate, then inform Headmistress la Fey, and we shall have the curriculum updated.
"And next time, use the front door."

>>25094043
Of course. As Sorcerer Supreme your insight is invaluable in such matters.

>>25094043
Check if our Skrull detector is getting any signal from him.
"Doom dose not enjoy when one 'borrows' with out asking BUT Doom feels VERY forgiving today and is willing to allow this to happen...if you are willing to allow Doom access to some of your books from yours own personal library"
This is a bit of dick move BUT Strange have a lotts of unique stuff and am sure he wouldn't want to be in conflict with us

>>25093991
I'm more shocked by Strange's voyeristic behavior. Him, we respect and expect better of. Richards' foolish attempts to duplicate technology beyond his petty understanding... That's to be expected. Planned for.

>>25094043
"Steven, I really expected better of you. You have had an open invitation to visit the school at your leisure since its inception. I thought I had made that clear. And yes, you may peruse the texts. They are hardly 'The Book of the Vishanti', but they are adequate introductory texts. While I have you here, I am considering a 'trade school' approach to some of the higher levels of this institution. Would you be averse to taking on interns? I'm sure poor Wong would appreciate the assistance, and I do not have the time to devote to individual lessons on the structure of the planar pathways or the optimal healing spells in emergency situations. Aside from myself, you are the only sorcerer on the planet I would trust to impart such skill and wisdom without bias or ulterior motive. I assure you, it will not be nearly as onerous as dealing with medical interns back when you were a practicing doctor."

>>25094143
>Doom dose not enjoy when one 'borrows' with out asking
But he IS asking. And Strange's name is on the curriculum as endorsing it; checking to make sure that the textbooks are up to his standards when it's his name and reputation on the line is a reasonable request.

>>25094177
He wasn't going to unless we showed up, though

>>25094177
agreed. Lets not be a prick.

>>25094177
well he is only asking now because we discovered him wondering around, plus as i say swapping ancient text between us could be very useful in future

>>25094171
>I'm more shocked by Strange's voyeristic behavior
In his defense, Morgana is quite the beauty.
But really, that was an obvious lie; he just hitched a ride with Richards, and used an invisibility spell to walk about unseen.

>>25094220
Doesn't mean why can't tease him about it and threaten to tell Morgan Le Fay. And Clea

>>25094099
"Of course. Thank you for your understanding. I suppose I'll go, then. And if I find anything appropriate amongst my own belongings, then I'll send it over right away"

>>25094215
Actually, this is the second time that someone, against their better judgement, allowed themselves to be talked into some crazy scheme by Reed and breaking into our home/workplace.

This is actually good, because soon Richards will run out of people willing to break into someone's home who is actually not doing any of the nefarious things that Richards says we are.
He's burning all of his own social bridges in his paranoid delusions of DOOM's evil, which is better than anything Doom's actually gotten done in the past.

>>25094305
>that dude was STEALING and we did catch him red handed
Well no. He was reading the textbook. He wasn't making any attempts to grab it and run, even though he obviously could have as soon as his invisibility was dispelled.
So no, he wasn't stealing it, and we didn't catch him at anything apart from trespassing.

>>25094282
You sense something out of place in the pile of books he's now picking up
You grab it with telekinesis, despite it being reasonably well buried, and grab it
Your suspicions are confirmed, it's a scroll that would summon a demon far more powerful than you would want in a school. It certainly doesn't belong in here

For those who don't know, Clea is a powerful sorreress who is at various time Strange's wife, apprentice, both, ex-wife and ruler of the dark dimension. Trapping him in a room with the pair of them would end extremely badly for him.

"Well, firstly, It wasn't my idea, but if there was something wrong, I was supposed to summon that, Bind it then send it into the Main hall so Richards could make everyone think it was unsafe. Nobody would be hurt, of course. Susan would make sure of it, and Richards would get Ben and Johnny in, so they could save the day. Awful Idea. I wasn't going to do it. Don't blame the others, they didn't know"

>>25094507
Richards again....
Why were you working with him, Strange?
Do you not trust me?

We should tell Susan about this. Her husband's plot to plant that scroll could have resulted in many students' deaths/injuries, including Valeria's. Also, can we ban him from future meetings?

>>25094507
"then why did you hide this from me? and why didn't you just explain straight out that richards was going to attempt to undermine me here?"

>>25094507
(burn the scroll), (then face palm so hard we dent our mask) (walk away and mumble "I am too old for this shit")

>>25094507
What kind of demon was it?

>>25094391
Strange. Steven. This is most disconcerting. I know for a fact that this is not an article allowed in this room, or on this campus. And it's not the sort of thing you usually carry on your person, or deal with at all. I'm hoping you have a very good explanation for this very unusual behavior. The Strange I know would never stoop so low as to plant false evidence against a colleague, or risk the lives of innocents by invoking such a beast in an area populated by civilians."

>>25094507
"That idiot. there is always the chance that the binding would fail, especially when teleported through a building with as many wards as the school has.

>>25094507
>but if there was something wrong
Something wrong. Like, say a demon summoning scroll appearing in the hands of a student after these textbooks were handed out?

Why don't you tell Richards to build a school and invite me in, so I can kill the students there by sneaking in an unstable science experiment?

>>25094507
>summon a Greater Demon
>in a school full of budding wizards and talented sorcerors
>not expect everything to go tits up with all that magic being flung around
This calls for a DOOM facepalm.
"Strange, it was Richards' idea, wasn't it. You know how dangerous that would have been, and you still even brought it along?"

>>25094507
"Strange , DOOM expects this foolishness from Richards, but DOOM has a higher opinion of you. Don't follow along in his schemes to undermine me."

>>25094507
"Mr Strange, are you saying that both you and Richard where planing an terrorist attack in the capital of foreign country? How highly illegal BUT DOOM is willing to forgive this..outrageous behaviour for an...favour, YES an favour that you will help Doom with something in the future and Doom will be willing to forgive you this...incident"
We are going to use him to get our mother soul from hell

>>25094507
"Richards...

I've been playing Very Nice lately Strange, yet Richards keeps trying to play hardball., he's alienating his friends, growing more and more crazed with his accusations, and..."

"He's beating his son." Cue up a feed of the video, Richard's wants to play rough, we can play it. "I've held my tongue when i learned this, but if he wants to try to sully my good name and put Children's lives in jeopardy..."

>>25094507
"Steven, even my first year students would be able to tell you how incredibly stupid that plan is. I expect as much from Richards, but for you to even entertain such a notion? You should be ashamed of yourself. Especially with the number of emergency dispelling wards placed around. If the demon was summoned without flaw and the wards didn't send it away, there's a chance they would weaken your bindings instead. The school is a place of learning, not intended to handle a siege or terrorist strike. This kind of reckless and disrespectful behavior has to stop. We both know Richards is too petty to admit his fault, but you, at least, should have told him how dangerous the plan was and put a stop to it. You may take the texts and study them at your leisure, but I'm afraid I'll have to revoke your open invitation to the school, and my country, until further notice. You may visit by conventional channels if you wish, I will keep you off the 'no fly list', but you will enter and visit as a private citizen, not my guest."

>>25094565
"I wasn't actually going to summon it! He wouldn't let me on the shuttle unless I had it with me. There are too many dispel wards in this place too, it'd barely get out of this room. They're very powerful. I'm sure Reed will hate to hear this but it's a tight ship you've got here

>>25094607
Yes, of course. It's the least I can do."

>>25094653
Why did you do it, Strange?

We need to work on our RICHARDS YOU IDIOT! speech.

>>25094653
"DOOM will overlook this...lapse of propriety. In the future, Strange, DOOM suggests that you let your own judgement in matters magical override the plans of someone who does not even rank as an amateur in the arts. Good night, Strange."

Well, that was eventful. Perhaps we should walk back to the castle, in case we bump into Richards.

>>25094653
"but why did you allow him to get away with doing the stuff that he did? i can't imagine you rolling over and letting him tell you what to do. if you wanted to know about this school and what it is like you could have simply asked."
reasonable doom is reasonable.

>>25094653
Lets get the doombots to start cleaning the mess he made
"Doctor Strange you are free to join Mr Ben and Mr Storm, if you feel like it of course"
When Richards finish to talk to all of the teachers we will get one of our postman to give him hand writen letter from us "I KNOW - Victor Von Doom"

>>25094507
"RICHARDS has clearly lost his feeble grasp on reality. Stephen, perhaps it is time to start reconsidering how much your group trusts him. He is sounding more like Moriarty than Holmes."

Guys do we tell him about the child abuse? We should at least bring up how he seems to have found the drinking problem Stark seems to have misplaced.

>>25094750

>>25094762
Agreed.

"Guess who just got un-invited to our birthday!"

>>25094653
"Strange, I need you to deliver a message to Richards for me. I would do it myself, but I do not want to upset Valeria or interrupt Parent/Teacher night. When you have his ear, away from others, I would like you to inform him that the ~only~ reason I have not yet alerted the US State Department to his actions and had him declared an international terrorist is because I do not wish to sully ~your~ name and those of his wife and daughter. But my beneficence has a limit which I am fast approaching. Twice now he has plotted dangerous terrorist strikes against my home. If it happens again, I will speak to his government directly, and he will spend the next half century in chains. I have neither the time nor the patience to indulge his antics anymore."

The problem with the child abuse is that we only have evidence of one incident, and we've sat on it for so long that it's obvious we were saving it for some form of manipulation, rather than us releasing the information out of concern for Franklin.
Now, if Richards strikes Franklin AGAIN, and we have it on video, that should be shown to Sue immediately.

>>25094762

>Perhaps he thought you taught here and would be distracted
"Teaching here is to be my retirement, in a century or two. As much as I would enjoy it now, I cannot leave the Earth unguarded or my people leaderless. Once my successor is prepared to replace me, I may consider it. Tell me, Strange, have you given any thought as to who will succeed you?"

>>25095042
I think it would be better to leave all of that awkwardness after they leave the country, we don't want to fight him in front of his won daughter

>>25095042
No, confronting him would be detrimental.

But the honest chance to sit him down and rake him over the coals. How could DOOM resist?

>>25095133
Valeria.

>>25094653
Now you see the treachery of RICHARDS! Next time you have a grievance against DOOM, then let us settle it like men of honor.

For now. you may leave with Richards or by any other means as you wish. DOOM expects your continued cooperation with the defense of earth, and for ignoring this breach of honor, we will call upon you at a later time.

(DOOM casts a simple scry lock on Strange so we can monitor his actions within Lateriva)

>>25095133
the letter from >>25094748
is more classy

>>25095133
Because we are Doom and we are aware that Richards may not be in too stable mental conditions after we tell him that his plans where foiled again, also we don't want to embarrass his family.

>>25095133
Because we have an even bigger and better plan in progress.
We are gradually alienating him from among the Illuminati, all of Sue's fears about the school are being assuaged, and we should begin talks with the US State Department about Richards actions.

Besides, we don't want to bring the fight to Richards in front of his daughter. We want him to bring the fight to us in front of his son and daughter. World-wide audience optional.
Like what happened on the Daily Show.

Am I to understand you wish to send this as a letter, sir?

Just as a thought in passing, has anyone thought about telling Franklin (or perhaps more usefully Valeria) that we know about RICHARDS violence?

Children who suffer from abuse from someone they looked up to often find themselves losing trust in all authority figures, and reaffirming our promise to be a safe haven come Hell or Atlantean invasion might go down well. Uncle Doom to the rescue, so to speak.

>>25095513

>>25095429
You approach Richards and Susan just as their final meeting has concludes
"Richards, how are you finding the school? I understand you have some concerns about its safety, I hope today has allayed your fears."

"Good. I suppose. Valeria seems to be doing well, as expected. I assume you have no issues with her coming home for the half term? No trips to spring on us all of a sudden?"

>>25095513
I am voting against all of this interaction with Richards. I want him to stew in his paranoia with nothing to let it out on except his friends and family.

Instead, we should look through our grimoires and research a transformation amulet that Grimm can use to switch between a human form and the Thing.

>>25095642
"Nope."

>>25095642
"Valeria is free to go as she wishes. If a school trip is in the works, then you should direct your question to Headmistress la Fey, as she is in charge of the school."

>>25095642
Doom has no unusual travel plans but should you take another unplanned vacation and leave your children I may offer them entertainment and education.

"This is no issue at all. As a ruler of Latveria Doom hopes you and you family have an splendid time here"

Sir, you are a very good Doom

If Franklin is in attendance we should give him a knowing look and tell him if he ever feels unsafe that he should call us.

>>25095642
At the end of our conversation, we should notify him we've pinpointed the Skrull wormhole.

>>25095686
"Another concerning point, but she seemed amicable enough earlier. I suppose you couldn't find anyone less knowingly evil?"

>>25095689

"I am sure Ms. le Faye would certainly enjoy hearing your abbreviations of her character. Also, while I am somewhat fond of Ben Grimm, I fear his academical interests lay far behind his ailment. How is work on that going, by the way?" DOOM stare, "But that aside, thank you for coming in support of Valeria's wishes. DOOM is glad that despite misgivings you have made a fair effort to trust DOOM with bettering her life."

Bam, suck it, Richards, DOOM thinks to himself.

>>25095814
No no no, we don't wont to hint that we know about his plans, we where going to send him the letter after they get out of the country

>>25095772
You're doing a really good job of making me want to tell him to fuck off

Nah, They wouldn't take Grimm or Johnny on a family holiday. Too much stuff would get broken

I guess Lucia could clear it up for us

>>25096396
It was a verbal trap he was ambiguous so he could call us out if we assumed ether or clarified he is a foll not an idiot.

Lucia, please take time to repair the damage caused by your burns. As the party tomorrow night will be a widely attended social function, you need to be presentable to the masses.

"Hmm... Perhaps once the war with the skrulls is over, Mister Grimm would be interested in a teaching position. He has more experience in piloting craft outside Earth's atmosphere than any other human. Once the war is over I will begin phasing out the servi-guards crewing and piloting m mining vessels and open them up for use by humans, both in my employ and leased by other terrestrial interests. Grimm's experience makes him an ideal instructor."

>>25096453
Well, Grimm isn't family by name and blood, so it's only fair that Richards attempt at verbal tomfoolery end badly. Again.
>>25096558
DOOM is on board with this. Our new M.O. Has worked so far, and DOOM will not pass up a chance to further spite people by being a generous and kind person. The comedy involved brings a smile even to DOOM's fateful visage.

>>25096270
They both leave. Susan has a collection of papers with her, and some of Valeria's A+ reports, presumably to put on the fridge

Strange arrives at the Tavern, and is pleased to hear a scotch only costs half a Victor, and then is subsequently shocked again to learn that a Victor is nearly $5

Lyja's left at this point, and Grimm, Johnny and Strange are all talking about their various experiences in Latveria, and how none of them have really stayed all that long

>>25096557
Yes, sir. They were becoming quite distressing, and I can only hope that you enjoy the gift, so that it was worth it

And that about wraps up another thread, I think. Sorry for not getting that far. I'll be back wednesday. Anyway, have a good day! Or night, depending on where you live.

>>25096677
Ale and whores, Doctor Strange. Ale and whores.

Of course, the whores are well paid and taken care of courtesans and not simple tarts. Latveria is prouder than that.

>>25096677
Good day/night to you too op, you made a glorious thread today

Reminder for next thread in case DOOM misses it. We should also send a letter to Susan apologizing for acting a fool, and again reiterate our gratitude for her coming to Valeria's schooling as well as giving us a chance to be her god father. It has put much in perspective.

Honestly, how has RICHARDS not been called out as a Terrorist at this point?

He was going to summon a greater demon into a school for children. You have Strange's testimony, You have his violence against his own child, you have his drunken ramblings against you on the Daily Show.

Seriously, go to the UN and have RICHARDS! answer for testimony for plotting acts of Terrorism.

Shit, Call on strange, Wolverine, Xavier, etc. Have them testify that RICHARDS! used his friends to break into the home of a official of a Sovereign Nation to steal technology, and has even placed his own children in danger multiple times for a petty vendetta.

What will happen.. You know what, we should let RICHARDS! get away with something like this. Actually get away with an act of sabotage. We SHOULD let the demon get summoned, and the wards put in place around the castle magically attune only to Strange's magic. Then, when the demon runs through a goddamn building, immediately stop it and then accuse RICHARDS! of plotting the crime. Then we get Strange to testify that RICHARDS! plotted this all along.

Then we accuse RICHARDS! of terrorism, and boom get him locked away. He wants his shithole plans to succeed? Fine, they will work beyond imagining.

>>25097163
We could get Laura to help, too. A mentally unstable teenage girl was used by him, and we even took her under our proverb wings

>>25097163
Nah, lets give him more rope.

>>25097335
But he's got a stretchy neck

>>25097335

Make his neck into a rope, then hang him with it.

>>25097335
Agrees. The constant failure seems to only keep driving him closer to madness.

>>25097430
more ammo for the firing squads then?

>>25097163
It's just that plan is... a bit overt, it stinks of megalomania, and could be disrupted in so many different ways. While our Nice Guy DOOM persona is starting to sink in, it's not at the point where throwing accusations around will work.

Whereas the current plan is a masterfully crafted death of a thousand cuts, which doesn't hinge on any one action succeeding or being disrupted. Reed is driving himself into insanity and psychological meltdown, and the more he tries to dig up our "plotting", the more the he simply buries himself alive in the fruitless wastes of time and energy. Let him tie his mind in knots: when he is exposed to his family for the madman he is, when he brought as low as a man can be brought by his own hand, we shall be there waiting. With a straight jacket.

The truest irony: DOOM is not Richards' greatest enemy: Richards is. He has done more damage to his own cause then we have ever tried to inflict. All through his presumption that his knowledge of DOOM is greater than anything: our promises, his friend's statements, even the evidence of his own eyes. And Doom's greatest foe? Our presumption that he was a foe we should stoop to fighting. A foe we have conquered

>>25098422
exactly we will carry on and allow Richards to hang himself.

>>25097163
This isn't a UN matter. This is a US State Department matter. We go to them with testimony from Strange, Xavier, Laura, Logan, even Namor. Demand that all those who took part in terrorist plots against latveria be handed over to our State Department (which consists if Lucia and ourself). The only reason I hesitate to put this forth immediately is that it also involves dragging Susan, Johnathan, Benjamin, Logan, Steven (Strange), Charles, and Scott to Latveria in chains. We'd let them all go, of course, but it would be a media circus and neither Steven nor the mutants need that kind of publicity. It undercuts the efforts we've made towards bringing them out if the shadows.

Let him try one more time. Third strike rule. He has twice compromised the security of a sovereign nation. This month. Worse, he has risked severe damage to civilian populations. If this was merely an issue of attempted assassination, we would handle it ourselves. But for risking civilian lives? That is unacceptable. He has alienated Strange and Xavier from his little tea party. We should make preparations for who else he could send. Blackagon Boltigar, T'Challa, and Tony Stark are most likely. Stark i think is most likely as he has had access to our computer networks before. He may send Stark to attempt espionage or sabotage. We should also go over he redesigned cruisers and robots with a fine toothed comb to make sure he cannot wrest control from us or force a self-destruct. We can't have him staging 'attacks' in our name to discredit us.

>>25101916
>all those who took part in terrorist plots against latveria be handed over to our State Department
even if we call Richards on this BS to the US government we can demand the ringleader and say we have personalty pardoned his accomplices but his instigation is unacceptable and we demand that he is turned over for his danger to civilian populations.

The chorus of Doom voices I hear in my head as I read this is wonderful and pleases Doom's ears.


Continue to let Richards traipse down the path of Self-destruction. Doom is now living proof that living well is the best revenge after all

can not understand why this hasn't been posted

>>25102029
I'm cool with this, but only AFTER his next attempt. Three strikes, and all that. But we want to make sure he is extradited here, not dealt with in the US. If we leave it to them they'll lock him in a lab and have him building weapons for the rest of his life. That's unacceptably irresponsible. And give America an unfair advantage over the rest of the world, AND isn't that big a punishment to Richards.

If we get him, we can rebuild that power-drainer we once used on The Beyonder and Silver Surfer. Siphon his cosmic power right out, store it in a battery, and put the glowing battery on our mantle somewhere. Then keep him as an indentured worker in one of our minor labs, sweeping floors or something. Let him out to visit Valeria or Franklin on important days, arrange family visits for the rest of the 4. But he'll return every night to a 10'x10' cell, his only companion a doombot guard and the latest magazines singing our praises.

>>25103270
or lock him in a lab/library tower that will only open when he masters magic,then fight as equals

>>25103506
His recent actions prove he cannot be trusted not to endanger civilians. We cannot risk him selling his soul to Dormammu and conjuring a horde of Mindless Ones to rampage through Doomstadt. He shall be brought low, stripped of power, and made menial.

>>25103668
speaking of mindless ones we should really get a few dozen

make a celestial grade mining ship .

have them mine a dwarf star for some sweet super heavy elements.

if we can study the Ultimate Nullifier we could probable get a good start

>>25103863
I wouldn't trust them, personally. Knowing that they can be summoned or subverted.

>>25103040
I was unaware that this was a thing, but I suppose no commoner could be faulted for such a reaction. Power, authority, confidence. Such things have always been the strongest aphrodisiacs. While Doom would never stoop to encouraging or condoning lascivious behavior, he understands that commoners are not so iron-willed and forgives your indiscretion.

>>25103270
Eh, DOOM would be satisfied with revoking of his powers and granted clemency. Again, Richards is on the verge of defeat, and it shall be sweet ironic victory indeed. But wasting all that time on Richards? Why? DOOM is clearly superior to him at this stage in time. Let him free without his powers after he has burned all his bridges and wasted innumerable amounts of money.

To live, that is Richards' punishment. DOOM stands in awe of DOOM's magnanimous and majestic genius.
