Doom is rarely seen outside his iconic armor, so his appearance is mostly a mystery. What is known is that he is horribly disfigured, to the point of inspiring nightmares upon gazing at his ugly visage.
His classic appearance is that of a man clad entirely in iron. A brutal, Inquisitorial executioner. His brutal armor design, combined with his flowing green cape, invokes the image of death itself.

Victor von Doom was born in a Romani camp outside Haasenstadt, Latveria. His mother, Cynthia, was killed in a bargain with Mephisto gone wrong. His father, a brilliant medical doctor, was left to raise young Victor. Despite his father's attempts to care for her, a noblewoman died under his care and Werner von Doom fled with a young Victor on a cold winter's night. Victor survived the cold, but unfortunately his father did not. Doom sought to increase his knowledge of both science and magic in order to rescue his mother, whose death he blamed on Mephisto. And he did! By secretly combining technology and sorcery, Victor made a name for himself with a number of miraculous inventions, including a robotic duplicate of himself dubbed a Doombot. Eventually his shenanigans ripping off people with his inventions got him arrested, and he was slated to be killed. However, he escaped his own execution by replacing himself with a Doombot. Fleeing to the states, he pursued a college education. This is where he met his friend and eventual arch-nemesis, Reed Richards.
He eventually developed a machine designed to take him to and from Hell itself to rescue his mother. Reed pointed out a flaw in Doom's calculations, but Doom arrogantly ignored his warnings, feeling Reed was trying to upstage him. The machine exploded, scarring Doom's face. After the accident, despite his only injury being a single scar, Victor was horrified that his always perfect face had been "tainted". He was soon expelled for conducting unethical experiments. From then on, he blamed Reed Richards for the destruction of his face as well as his expulsion. Victor then ran away to the Himalayan mountains, and ended up joining a group of Tibetan monks. He soon put them to work building him an awesome suit of armor to enhance his power and hide his face. He was so eager to get the damn thing on, that he put on the metal mask before it cooled down, messing up his face even more.
This armor magically severed his physical connection to the world, shielding him from the nightmares and transforming him into a cold engine of logic, thus he took the name: Dr. Doom.

#1. Powered armor- Doom's armor is one of the craziest pieces of personal protection in the world. Powered by a micro nuclear reactor and built of high strength titanium, it easily matches the iron man armor and in some cases, exceeds it. With it, he's strong enough to lift buildings, survive blows from Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, and one-shot the Incredible Hulk. It is also equipped with a force field, jet boosters, and various energy blasters. Its magical barriers and separation from the physical world also give him immense resistance to reality warping and telekinetic attacks. The suit even has pieces of the true cross embedded within to protect him from Dracula and other undead enemies.
#2. Molecular expander. Via unknown methods, this device can enlarge objects doom keeps with him. Useful for turning tiny pebbles into humongous boulders.
