History

Origin

The Doom Squad was formed by Doctor Doom. Four of the best soldiers in the Latverian Army were provided with high-tech armors, designed by Doom himself "to defeat the Fantastic Four." Only one Doom Squad was formed, with supposedly fearless troopers which were trained and familiarized with the armors. They even were known in Latveria.

The armors were first used in Doom's Adirondack Mountains castle, New York State. The Squad fought with Wolverine, Colossus, Angel and Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler tricked two members of the Squad so that they defeated each other, and Wolverine ripped away the armor of the third member. The last survivor decided to retreat, but Doom (or more probably a Doombot) noticed that and decided to punish him.

The armors were never tested against the Fantastic Four, as was intended.
