And This Is One Way To Make Dr. Doom Scarier...

I thought this would be a fun post. I want to thank my friend, Mark at Cross Planes, for posting Numenara stats which introduced me to this version of Dr. Doom. Also, check out Mark's 5e Doombot stats. I used them as inspiration for this. Also, while I still gave him the Arcana skill, I don’t think  this Doom used magic, so I didn't give him any spellcasting. If I stat a more traditional take on Dr. Doom, I'll definitely give him spellcasting abilities.

Powerful Build: Dr. Doom can carry/lift twice the weight of a normal creature its size. Additionally, he can wield heavy weapons with one hand.

Background
On Earth-691 (the Earth of the future Guardians of the Galaxy), Dr. Doom fought alongside the heroes against the Martian Masters invasion of Earth. Unlike most of Earth's defenders, Doom survived the war. At some point he killed Wolverine and created a cybernetic body using Logan's adamantium skeleton and has his brain transferred to it.
