Of course, I have a different perspective but I think Waid came perilously close to making Doom so toxic as to be unusable. To do that ,Waid takes a radical swerve once again with Doom as he did with Johnny. There had been a sort of truce between Doom and the FF ever since he came back from Franklin's HR planet. Sue and the others depended on his help to get Reed out of Doom's armor. Then he famously (and notoriously I suppose ) assisted in baby Valeria's birth when both Sue and her baby could have both died. Then, out of the blue came the most vicious series attacks. It seems like it may have been somewhat unpopular among writers down the line since it seldom gets referenced afterwards. Authoritative Action that follows was almost like Waid was getting rid of Doom forever.
