Victor von Doom ancestry and family relationships - Part 3
Time to resume an examination of the family and ancestry of Victor Von Doom
In previous entries Werner and Cynthia von Doom have been discussed. There was also a mention of a grandfather who made marionettes in Doom 2099. We have no clue as to whether this was a maternal or paternal grandfather. I don't think there's ever been mention of Cynthia von Doom's family name.
But there was a brief mention of a grandmother from a rather unusual source.....a Doombot. But not just any Doombot. This is one of Doom's creations that has a life of his own outside of Latveria and took up residence with the Runaways. His origin really goes back to Avengers A.I. where he was forced to become one of the team when Hank Pym put a black hole in it's chest. And Tony Stark thought he had problems.

His friendship with Victor Mancha in A.I. carried over into the Runaways title where he joined the group in their home as a sort of Mr Belevedere, if you're old enough to remember the TV show or the earlier films starring Clifton Webb. Here he joins them for some holiday festivities bringing a dish that his (?)/ Doom's paternal grandmother would make. Since Doombot comes equipped with Doom's memories I would have to assume this is Doom's memory of her.
One has to wonder why Doom let's such personal memories become part of the Doombot A.I Could it have been a mistake? I suppose it's to help confuse the enemy into guessing whether or not they are confronting Doom or a Doombot.
