Origin
Origin
Doombots are a title given to various series of robots originally created by Doctor Doom.

Originally the term "Doombot" applied to various different robots all created by Doctor Doom for various functions. The term "Doombot" was originally given to most of the robots created by Von Doom including the series that was later termed as "Servo-Guards"[1]

The title of "Doombot" was later specifically listed to only to his armored duplicate robots. The title of "Doombot" does NOT include his look-alike unmasked Victor Von Doom robots[2] though these unmasked robots perform the same function of standing in for Von Doom when he deems it necesseary to be substituted.(Robots)

History

`All robots that are now identified as "Doombots" are exact physical and mental replicas of the original Victor Von Doom in his armored form. The robots are designed with psionic disguising circuitry that is capable of fooling low level telepaths into accepting that the robots are the real person. The Doombot's advanced A.I. program makes them believe to be the real Doom, except when they are in the presence of Doom or another Doombot. They were created to replace Doom whenever he cannot be present at a situation, or whenever he does not want to risk his own life.

There are presently two different class of Doombot models negating all of the earlier inclusive robots now given different names such as Servo-Guards. The Doombot duplicates exist in "Fighting" and "Diplomat" classes. Both of them have the same base A.I. and systems, differentiating only in their primary classification.

  • Fighting Doombots are enhanced with super strength and reinforced for direct combat even being able to hold its own temporarily with Ben Grimm. Doom sends a fighting Doombot whenever he considers there is a probable fight, because they use heavier weaponry, and sometimes even additional weapon systems to make enemies think they are fighting Doom's real armor.
  • Diplomat Doombots have a higher intelligence instead, and normal armor levels and do not have the strength and reinforcement that the fighting Doombots possess. Diplomats will be used in diplomatic meetings such as the United Nations and when dealing and/or seducing with potential allies such as the X-Men's Storm[3].

Doom has at least 10 diplomats and 50 fighting Doombots at any given moment.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Robotic construction providing them an armor and general immunity to mental, emotional and illusion attacks - although they are susceptible to machinery-affecting and psionic attacks that can disrupt their logic functions.
  • Force Lightning: All the Doombots can shoot lightning from their gauntlets similar to Doom's atack.
  • Jetpack: All the Doombots have jetpacks allowing them flight.
  • Parabolic Hear Aidings: Some Doombots, specially fighting Doombots, have been seen using this device to detect unusual frequencies and very weak sounds.
  • Self-Repair: Small mechanic limbs and tools in the head of every Doombot allow them to re-construct the rest of their body. This allows the robot to infiltrate in enemy fortresses: The pieces are sent through a different way, and the head builds the body in minutes.
  • Electricity Discharge: Each Fighting Doombot can generate an electric shock that can only be used at point-blank range. Enemies are usually knocked down with this attack.
  • Infrarred scanner: This allows Doombots to detect heat sources, including invisible humans. Only fighting Doombots have been seen using this.
  • Self-destruct: Doombots self-destruct whenever they are in risk of being captured or defeated, or even at Doom's whim[4] when a diplomat Doombot allowed Arcade to strike a match on that Diplomat Doombot and was not killed for that affront). The explosion damages near enemies.

    Abilities

Leadership (only to Latverians) and other A.I.-produced skills to emulate the real Doom.

Strength level

Doombots have a strength comparable to Doom's. Diplomat doombots are slightly weaker that their fighting counterparts.

Appearances in Other Media

Television

In the 1981 Spider-Man cartoon, while they are never referred to as "Doombots", Doctor Doom made use of robot doubles on more than one occasion. In one of his first battles with the wall-crawler, after his plan to replace the U.N. security council with robot doubles was thwarted, Doom himself escaped capture by replacing himself with a robot. Much later, when he had finally gained firm control of the world (for the moment), an array of Doombots took the place of all the world's leaders. It was also on this occasion that Boris escaped his master's wrath using a robot version of himself. When the real Doom was destroyed, all of his robots shut down.

Although they do not hold the same role, Doom's robot minions in Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes are referred to as "Doombots."
