Doom's admission that Richards is his superior is the most character-defining moment in 60 years of Doctor Doom stories. It reveals that beneath the armor, the godhood, and the tyranny, Doom knows the truth about himself.
Historical Context
Hickman's finale is considered one of the greatest endings in comic book history. Doom's admission humanizes him in a way no previous writer achieved. This moment is expected to be the emotional climax of the MCU's Doomsday saga.
