How Awesome is Doctor Doom?

People always talk about Dr. Doom and how he is one of, if not the, most badass mofos in the marvel universe, but what are his greatest feats? I know he resisted Purple Man's telepathy by sheer will, and his will is always touted as one of the strongest in the world, so what are some of his other feats?

Nuff said.
 
He has pieces of the True Cross that Christ was crucified on, in his armor in order to be immune to Dracula whom was residing on the moon....

Something like that lol but yeah thats what made me think damn... Doom thought of everything.

My favorite Villain of all time.
 
He's the comic book epitome of the "my dad is stronger than yours"-arguing. Any discussion about him boils down to someone insisting he's so powerful and awesome. Magic, robots, etc. So, he's so awesome.
 
I know we have this discussion all the time but I'm too lazy to go post stuff from previous threads.

Doom is awesome because he's evil but goes about it with a very principled and gentlemanly approach.
 
Doom's awesomeness comes down to a few things.

His name ("Doom" is a great name for a villain. And making it alliterative by using the title of "Doctor" works well.)

His stature (he already has his own country.)

His look (he was Darth Vader before Darth Vader).

His over the top personality leads to him dominating whatever story he is in, whether its meant to be comedic or serious, no matter what other characters may or may not appear in said story.

Basically, he's a very successful comic book character. That the movies so far have failed to really drive home the greatness of Doom are a failure on their parts.
 
His whole angle during Secret Wars ( original) is endearing.

Much like Thanos, he is the best.

Like the part about his mom as well.

Not a villain, an anti-hero.
