Doctor Doom is highly skilled in magic, and has been a perennial runner-up for the title of Sorcerer Supreme–and now at long last the mantle is his. Merely using his magic to bend others to his will is not in Doom’s playbook, meaning he will get the heroes to submit to him another way. It is possible that Doom saves the day in Blood Hunt. The goodwill this would generate among both Earth’s heroes and the general population may be enough to sway opinion in Doctor Doom’s favor, leading to One World Under Doom.
