Inside The DISTURBING Mind of Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom is Marvel's greatest villain, but underneath the armor is a boy who lost everything. In this deconstruction, we break down Victor Von Doom's psychology through the lens of complex post traumatic stress disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and Alfred Adler's inferiority complex theory. From the loss of his parents in Latveria to the accident at State University that scarred his face and his ego, we trace exactly how trauma built the world's most brilliant, and most tragic, tyrant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Waynes Health."What Does It Really Mean To Have An “Inferiority Complex?"
