History
A friend of Sir Richard Reed, Otto Von Doom, called the Handsome, was the ruler of Latveria. Doom's father engaged in breeding studies, which were condemned as heretical by some, such as the Grand Inquisitor. These studies yielded humanoid creatures that served Doom. When the Four from the Fantastik came to his country, he captured them and imprisoned them. He would often go to the dungeon to speak with Sir Reed of scientific ideas (most often he wanted to speak of explosives, poisons and machines) and use what he learned for his own purposes. He sent three assassins to England; one to kill Sir Nicholas Fury, one to kill Virginia Dare, and one, his ambassador, to kill Queen Elizabeth I. read more
