If you think the Robert Downey Jr reveal broke the internet, there’s a Doctor Doom kill that could do tenfold the online damage, according to Marvel fans.
It’s been a few days sinceDowney’s return as Doctor Doom in Avengers 5was revealed, now aptly titledAvengers: Doomsday, but the world is still reeling.
Now that Avengers 5 has officially pivoted fromKang the Conquerorto Doctor Doom, attention has turned to what we can see in Doomsday andSecret Wars– and there’s a particular death scene that would send them into overdrive.
InMarvel comicSecret Wars #8, Doom is seen asking Thanos if he has the Infinity Gauntlet, which he replies that he doesn’t – not that it matters, because he’s still Thanos the Great. Unfortunately, Doom reduces him to a skeleton with one flick of the wrist.

A second agreed, “God Emperor Doom appearing in the MCU would be the PEAK,” with a third weighing in, “This would break the internet.”
“Now come on bro, you know an RDJ Tony Stark version of Doom doing this to Thanos in the MCU would be a full circle and bad*ss moment,” another stated.

A few details would need to be addressed – includingThanos’ potential return to the MCUafter Endgame – before the scene can air. But, given Doomsday will pave the way for Secret Wars, nothing can be ruled out.
“Being that it’s a PG-13 movie the skeletal part of the scene most likely wouldn’t be shown,” one fan argued, while another wrote: “I pray not. I want the real Doctor Doom to do this. Not a Variant,” another added.
