What if these Marvel and DC comic book characters switched universes?
By Mark Lynch
Dr. Doom
If Dr. Doom made his way to the comic book world of DC Comics, he would most likely end up fighting Superman and the Justice League on a regular basis. As we’ve seen, the League doesn’t take kindly to would-be despots.
He may fare better against them than most. Unlike Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom has magic on top of his machines. And magic is one of the things that can weaken Superman. That gives him a slight advantage.
It would be interesting to see how the Green Lanterns would fight him. Doom would probably become fascinated by their rings and try to steal one. Even money says he takes Guy Gardner’s. He was the same guy who went head-to-head against Dr. Manhattan. This hubris, however, would ultimately be his downfall.
Loki
The God of Mischief would annoy the heck out of anyone and everyone in DC, especially Wonder Woman. He’d see that she was too serious and try to destroy her. Wonder Woman has a strength advantage over Loki, but he has his tricks. However, Wonder Woman is smarter than Thor, so it’s doubtful a lot of Loki’s tricks would work on her.
At some point, Wonder Woman may get tired of his games and cut his head off. But, as we’ve seen, death is just another game for Loki to conquer. He’d live to fight and annoy another day. Loki should pray he never runs into Constantine. That’s a fight he doesn’t want. Constantine has his own tricks and plays dirtier than Loki.
