I still need to work on that character... Thanks for the info, MichaelC! I love the pulp influences on Doom - and on every comics. It's not so easy to get Fu Manchu books in comic book stores... (I also have to seriously read Steranko's SHIELD... IIRC he uses Fu Manchu in a story featuring also Doom - and some symbols related to Shiva - the Creator and the Destroyer - something related to Doom's ambiguity...? Jules Verne's Nemo, in my confused memories is not exactly a villain, but those are childhood memories... I love those old histories of tropes! When literature and popular culture interact in the better way!)
