The Fortnite community has been overcome with chaos and excitement ever since Dr. Doom was revealed as the star of the next season. The trailer for Absolute Doom was packed with action, teasing the arrival of some Marvel heroes and villains to the battle royale.
That’s not the only thing to be shocked about, however. After some pictures have been revealed about Doom’s conquests, it’s his dark and twisted nature that’s been stealing the show, as he’s setting new records for villainy in the game’s universe.
Fortnite’s Heroes Are in for a Ride of Doom and Despair
Previously, we learned that Doctor Doom’s throne is fashioned from the broken body of The Thing. It’s a disturbing display of cruelty that had fans reeling and slightly impressed. Who knew Epic Games would go to such lengths in a game that looks pretty bright, bubbly, and cartoony?
As it turns out, that’s just the beginning of his twisted trophy collection. A new image shared by a lore account on X/Twitter reveals that Doom has been keeping mementos from the heroes (and villains) he’s vanquished.
Doom's eliminated a SHIT TON of heroes & villains already 🤯

He's got trophies for each slain figure, including:
– Sue Storm
– Mr Fantastic
– The Thing
– Wastelander Magneto
– Thanos
– Silver Surfer
– Doctor Strange
– Ultron
– Moon Knight

Among the trophies displayed around his lair are items and remnants from Sue Storm, Mr. Fantastic, Wastelander Magneto, Thanos, Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, Ultron, and Moon Knight.
Each trophy is a reminder of Doom’s relentless quest for power, and how far he’s willing to go to take it.
He also has Johnny Storm's heart as his fire place 💀 pic.twitter.com/wonegS8vAi

Just in case that wasn’t enough to send chills down your spine, he’s got something else up his sleeve. He’s using Johnny Storm’s heart to fuel his fireplace.
There’s Enough Doom to Go Around
Long story short, if you’ve got a special power in Fortnite, you probably want to stay far away from Doom’s path. Judging from his trophy collection, he might just find you anyway.
The revelation about the villain’s actions has sparked not just despair but excitement and a whole new wave of memes. First of all, it’s okay to forgive him because he makes some great bread, right?

Others mourn the loss of Wastelander Magneto, who was introduced just a season ago.
We got Magneto last season and he's already dead 💀

One of the biggest wishes to come from the new lore drops, however, is the possibility of an Ultron skin being added in-game. It wasn’t in the trailer, but maybe it’ll be a surprise addition in the future.
I am hoping that is the first look at an Ultron skin.

Whatever the case might be, it’s clear that Doom isn’t a villain to be underestimated.
His mere presence in the game is shaking things up quite a bit. It’ll be interesting to see how the plot progresses with him involved as his true self and not as The Wanderer.
