New Theory Connects Doctor Doom’s MCU Origin to ‘Captain America: Civil War’!

Captain America: Civil War is really an Avengers movie at heart, with the main story focusing on two groups of Avengers. After Avengers: Age of Ultron, the government creates the Sokovia Accords, which want to control superheroes, but Captain America refuses to sign them.

Iron Man supports the Accords, believing superheroes need rules and oversight to keep people safe. This disagreement splits the Avengers, causing a big fight, as each side has different ideas about freedom and responsibility.

In many ways, Civil War is a battle between Iron Man and Captain America. Although they are close friends, they have very different views on how to protect the world. Iron Man believes in following rules and working with the government, while Captain America values freedom and doing what’s right without restrictions.

By the end of Endgame, both Tony Stark and Steve Rogers said goodbye to the Avengers. Tony sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos and save the universe, while Steve chose to stay in an alternate timeline with Peggy. He appears at the end of the movie, now old, having lived a fulfilling life on his own terms.

However, both Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans will return to the franchise. RDJ was announced this summer to play Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s most famous villains. Evans’ role in the upcoming movie is still unknown, but rumors suggest he might play an alternate version of Captain America.

Since RDJ was cast as Doom, fans have been wondering how the MCU will handle this and how Doom’s and Iron Man’s physical similarities will be explained.

One interesting theory suggests that the relationship between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers could lead to Tony becoming Doctor Doom in an alternate timeline.

Imagine this: In an alternate universe similar to the MCU’s, the only big difference is that during the Civil War fight, Iron Man ends up killing Captain America.

In the original movie, Tony holds back during the fight because he doesn’t want to lose his morals, but he realizes that the only way to win is to kill Steve. Tony decides to lose so Steve can live, but what if the fight went the other way? It’s easy to picture a scenario where Tony kills Steve and the Sokovia Accords pass without issue.

The theory suggests that if Iron Man were responsible for Steve Rogers’ death, it would deeply affect him, causing guilt, anger, and madness. Over time, this emotional pain could lead him to seek more power to stop future tragedies, possibly turning him into a villain.

He might try to control superheroes and the world, thinking that only by having full control could he stop chaos and protect people. This could mean controlling powerful technology, governments, or even the future of the planet.

Driven by guilt and the need to fix things, Iron Man might believe that controlling everything is the only way to prevent more suffering, much like Doctor Doom, who wants to rule to bring order and safety to the world.

When RDJ announced his return, he said, “Different mask, same task,” suggesting he will try to save the world again, but this time under a different “Iron Mask.”

It’s possible that the Doctor Doom we’ll soon see is just a case of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

This fits with the original story that the MCU might loosely adapt. In the comics, Doom used the Beyonder’s powers to try to save reality, which created Battleworld, where he ruled as a God Emperor. He believed that only by having total control could he keep reality safe.
