Doctor Doom is Immune to the Purple Man’s Mind-Control Powers (for 1 Reason)

When Doctor Doom kidnapped Killgrave to set him in the Psycho - Prism , the Purple Man tried to use his mightiness of influence to resist him off . However , Killgrave ’s power had no effect on Doom , and the rationality why was actually quite simple : Doom ’s will is too strong . Doom ’s willpower has always been strong , but find it on presentation to undermine Killgrave ’s thinker - mastery big businessman is truly something else . Doom even says himself that the Purple Man is inviolable enough to take over the world single - handedly if he wanted to , which speaks to how irresistible Killgrave ’s influence really is .

Doctor Doom ’s willpower is in truth another world power , and resisting Killgrave ’s influence proves it .

Not only that , but Doom prise the power Killgrave handle so much that he assay to use it for himself . Doom does not covet the abilities of others very often ( save for extradimensional entity and genuine deity ) , as - in his mind - he is stronger , sassy , and by and large good than any mortal alive .

Robert Downey Jr. NEEDS to Bring Doctor Doom’s Unparalleled Willpower to the Big Screen

Doctor Doom resisting Killgrave ’s influence is impressive , but it ’s merely a admonisher of a ‘ big businessman ’ Doom has possess all along , which shows itself in much every story he ’s in . Doom ’s strength of will is one of his defining characteristics . Doom does not bend , he does not break , and he does n’t adjust himself with anyone unless it is a part of his plan . That ’s why Doom could be angling to inhibit the planet one twenty-four hours , and working with Reed Richards or the Avengers to save it the next - and that is what RDJ needs to make for to the big blind .

Doctor Doom ’s unassailable and unbreakable willpower , and the sense that he ’s always playing his own biz , and is ten steps ahead of his opponent , is the main affair that Robert Downey Jr. has to get right about the theatrical role . And that ’s why the fact thatRobert Downey Jr.is playing the eccentric is so exciting , because - based on what fans have escort from him before - it ’s safe to say that he ’s perfectly going to deliver withDoctor Doom .
