MCU’s Biggest Current Iron Man Theory Would Mean Thanos Was Right About Tony Stark
Summary
Doctor Doom needs to emerge as one of the strongest MCU villains from his first appearance, both physically and intellectually. The franchise received criticism for its treatment of Kang, who was beaten by Loki and then by Ant-Man without much effort, and this lesson must be learned for Avengers: Doomsday. It is a difficult thing to create a compelling villain quickly; however, using the context attached to Robert Downey Jr.'s performances in the universe, and following speculation on how the performer may play Victor von Doom, it appears there will be some great depth to the villain.

1 MCU's Doctor Doom Variant Theories Make Thanos Look A Lot More Right About Tony Stark The Infinity Saga Villain And The Multiverse Saga Villain May Have Much In Common Close In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos tells Tony Stark "You’re not the only one cursed with knowledge,” which reflects forebodingly on the potential future of Doctor Doom's complicated casting as a Tony Stark variant. A refrain from the fanbase through the years has been that "Thanos was right," and in some cases he was. While the reality is far more complicated and morally dubious, The Mad Titan clearly has great wisdom and insight. Him and Stark alike are burdened with knowledge, and it is how they choose to use that knowledge that differentiates them.
If Doctor Doom is a Tony Stark variant, as he is theorized to be in the MCU, it is certain that he, too, will be cursed with that knowledge. Relatable villains who have believable and understandable goals are integral to Marvel storytelling, and the knowledge and insight that Tony Stark possessed has served as a blessing and a curse in the MCU. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man nearly destroyed the world with that knowledge. As such, it would be compelling to see how that knowledge resonates with a version of the character who is more amenable to destruction.

1 How Thanos' Line Could Foreshadow The MCU's Doctor Doom Story Victor Von Doom Is Set To Struggle With The Same Responsibility As Tony Stark Close If Doctor Doom is a Tony Stark variant, this line could foreshadow how Doom sees the world. Like Tony Stark and Thanos before him, Doctor Doom's goal will likely be in support of a realistic and sustainable vision for the world. While the Latverian ruler is generally on the side of villainy, he does so in support of beliefs and ideals. Cursed with knowledge on a level so few on Earth have and the wisdom to navigate it, this line foreshadows the path of the morally dubious and how that can be used in the MCU.
Doctor Doom promises to be a relatable and compelling villain, as with a performer like Robert Downey Jr., this is all but assured. However, it is the deeper character details and motivations that will make Doom the most effective antagonist. In a way, Ultron was an evil Tony Stark, with the same programmed ideals and motivations. Seeing someone with that same outlook but with more realistic ways to accomplish it, anchored in a brilliant human, could make for the most terrifying villain that the Avengers have yet faced.

Details for Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, and it is certainly possible that Doctor Doom will not be a Tony Stark variant. However, while the theory Doom is a Stark variant breaks from most comic book lore, it is important to consider the efficacy of turning Tony Stark into a villain.
