Dr Doom is best when he's just the embodiment of "the ends justify the means", and a extremely harsh perfectionist. He's more interesting to me when he actually has good intentions, but does horrible things to accomplish his goals, which end up tainting everything. He also has to be really arrogant, but one of his flaws is that he treats himself as harshly as other people. He has such high standards for himself, that it drives him insane. He has intellect and power, but no compassion or empathy. He's a brain without heart, while Richards, Stark, and Banner are heroes when they let their heart lead their intellect. I also like it when he's actually a pretty good leader of his country, like no one goes hungry, the schools are excellent and free, but obviously the people lack freedom and he's cruel to those who rock the boat a little. When they write Doom without anything for you to sympathize with him over, he's just a cartoon like Darkseid.
3:57 A better example of Dr. Doom's pettiness is 616 Doom visiting an alternate Earth . He is given a tour by the other Earth's Dr Doom. He finds that in that alternate Earth, the Doom of that alternate Earth has solved all the world's problems and he's much beloved. He leaves. However the knowledge that, that alternate Earth's Doom is better than him and is friends with Reed bugs him so much that he comes back kills that doom and destroys that Earth and that whole universe . The way he does it is so mind blowing...and almost hilarious.
No. The most unbelievable part is victors scholarship is about to be void.the man conscious swapped himself through a machine he built in a university. He should already be a trillionaire.
The fact that Tony just followed Doom's instructions like an assistant and not tried to take over or improvise like he has done in every single project he has worked on
Spoiler for Loki Loki ended it by taking control of the entire time stream/ multiverse. He basically prevented Kang from starting time travel technology
@@kawaka4432Literally the definition of Doctor Doom’s character right there. Ok maybe not so much for humor, but pettiness? Absolutely Victor would do that to the counsel of kangs. And it would be awesome to see
Interesting that Doom Stark calls himself 'Antony' whereas Original Stark calls himself 'Tony' - that feels quite a nice tell which makes you think 'why hasn't anyone at Stark Industries noticed that subtle change before?'
By Tony starting again from nothing he proved the only person stopping Victor was Victor, not some student loans. Victor is just too proud to realize that
This was fun to listen to again I love how it's always the moral difference that makes Doom number two; his refusal to uplift others and selfish beliefs always doom (heh) his plans - it's such refreshing storytelling to see how he puts down Stark and says walk in his shoes And Stark succeeds and surpasses him
Doom and Tony share many traits, but the main distinction is that Tony is more of a people person, whereas Doom is strictly a person for his people. If that makes sense.
Pepper Potts wants a divorce. Rhoady wants a different armored suit. Reed Richards wants to turn Dr. Doom into Tony Stark. Dr. Doom wants an Ironman suit for his birthday. (And Christmas!) Dr. Doom is looking a lot more attractive as a date!

Truly think this is the case. Don’t see the RDJ Doom being the mainline version for years to come. This may be a very clever bait and switch by Marvel to hide their true intentions for the character.
Because half the internet is a bunch of children shitting themselves in anger, and act like an actor can only be one character even though we just had a marvel movie come out and prove that wrong. Or even the fact RDJ has literally played an Australian pretending to be a black man and stayed in character the entire runtime.

Yes!! The-Beyonder. Ironically enough, Henry Cavill would be a great casting. As much as I love the idea of this, I also recognize how tough it can be to portray on screen. The Silver Surfer is the same and we've already seen how that can be rather disappointing. It takes a few great writers and a very good director to get the movie out of a story with a character like this that actually sells. Still, I think it could work.

@@1922_kinda_girl I'm 💯 Percent Sure Marvel Copy Universe's Avengers Secret Wars Will Have 0 % Adaptation of Marvel Comics Secret Wars ( 2015 or 1986 or Secret Wars ll Where's Beyonder V Molecule Man ) Other Than Title.
Hey there Rob, I have a theory and I really hope you read this. Cause I know you love Hickman just as much as me. Okay so I think that Doomsday is going to be a story line following Doom running around trying to save the Multiverse by destroying other universes (much like he did in Time Runs out.) Our main heroes will be Stephen and America who by then will be able to follow him around the Multiverse. The movie will end with a cliff-hanger of Doom destroying all of the universes in a last ditch attempt. With a reveal that Doom recreated the multiverse in his image. Maybe there will be a Beyonder/Molecule Man that ones in the air. Then Secret Wars will of course be Battleworld from SW 2015 and it will follow ALL of the heroes banding together against God Emperor Doom in the same way we saw a giant ensemble for the last fight in Endgame. Now my only basis for this is 1 the movie titles but 2 the fact that they already used Hickmans creations i.e. The Black Order and The Outriders. Really this is all wishful thinking and I can’t wait to see what the actual end result is. Either love you man, take care!
As much as I’ve complained, about this as long as there is All Caps or Avalanche by MF Doom playing on his entrance and there is no Downey-isms and Tony Stark-isms and Dr Doom is portrayed differently all will be forgiven
Why do I have a feeling Cillian Murphy is introvertedly giggling at a corner somewhere thinking... "Good job, Robert. They have no idea what's coming." 🤭
This story might be the adaptation in Avengers 5 in which that version of Doctor Doom was Tony from an alternate universe where the events of Iron Man 2 altered with him being too drunk & broke by turning evil.
I had the same idea. I think it's stupid if that's what the plan is. Introducing evil tony as doctor Doom will go over about as well as the fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3
@@MNToThat That is interesting. I am sure Disney came rolling in with some serious money for a 3 picture deal. However, the issue is that once that is all said and done, Doom will have to be given to another actor. It's all still the changing of the guard, eventually.
@@LordofSyn Well, Doom will likely just be a voice-over role after the first movie so RDJ can do it for decades, unlike live acting. It stinks of MCU desperation though. They better pull it off
Yep, Rob is wrong. The video is sadly a waste of time. Iron Man will not become doom. RDJ is just going to play Doom. The mcu has never followed the comics and will always do their own thing.
Yeah, Doom uses scientific magic, but he also uses demonic magic. He uses technology and black magic at the same time. Although I guess he's a little better at technology, because I think he still can't get his mom out of hell.
I sometimes think about that. So many of the things we use and abuse nowadays are explained magic. Like, if we proved demon summoning is real, it will be a shock for sometime, but then after a few years it will have scientific explanations, books will be written and eventually, why wouldn't it be science? We'd have reproducible ways of doing it, documentation, theories, where does the magic start and science end? It's quite literally why we can't have magic for too long in our world, it's impossible. If it's real, it will eventually be researched, explained, catalogued, and become science.
that is what I hope is the case, I genuinely hope the fact that it is rdj playing it is only because he a genuinely fantastic actor and is not relevant to the character at all. if it's an iron man related thing I'm gonna be so disappointed
@@isaiahisaiahisaiah1 I agree. The enigma of Dr Doom in the comics is you never see his face and the fact he is so disfigured. I want to see Victor Von Doom not some variation. Use a younger actor for the Victor Von Doom origin, then let RBJ loose as the Dr. Doom in the comics
This is what I'm saying. There literally has to be zero meta "you look just like Tony!" references. An actor's job is to make a character come to life. If the end result is a different character who looks, sounds, and feels different, there is no reason why one actor can't play multiple guys.
@@dasvibe I think this is actually the likely outcome given that RDJ has spoken publicly about wanting more challenging projects and feeling like playing Tony for so long weakened his acting chops. I bet Marvel kept coming back begging for him to return as Tony and he kept saying no, wanting a more interesting role that wouldn't just coast on his star power. So they said "ok how about you play the dude whose face is literally never shown and is the exact opposite of Tony Stark in almost every way" and he said yes.
Good play uploading this lol. I think this can definitely work in the movies, but can also easily be one of marvels biggest mistakes. Im very nervous but i hope they can do this right
They also stated that being in the multiverse saga is what makes this kind of casting choice a possibility. That statement isn’t really necessary if they’re not going to link Doom to Tony in some way. Whether it’s this story or something else
I really like these kind of elseworld stories that take the core essence of a character and then use that to make a different, but recognizable path. Tony is an innovator, an honorable man, and someone that for all his faults ultimately wants to help people.
Awesome. Now, make Hulk the real Hulk. Unstoppable, no bs, speed, power, rage, no f's given, endurance, durability and instant healing if he does get hurt. Real fn Hulk
My first thought was they are adapting Demon In An Armor. Doom tricks Stark into building a machine that transfer their minds. Cillian Murphy could still be cast as the real Doom, I hope this is how it goes down!
ever since the news got released last night i’ve been thinking about how much comicstorian would’ve loved the casting choice and immediately posted a video over this as well. both comicstorian and comics explained raised me as a kid with comic books and i can’t thank either one for giving us such fun videos.
They apparently arent using either of these stories, there is a new comic run out now called The Ultimates and they are saying that the issue coming in September will explain how and why they are using RDJ for Doom
Doom 616 has been petty and egotistical, but would consider it utterly beneath him to do this. He had such an ego after all. To achieve all his goals by his own unstoppable drive, no matter how battered his own body might become. Outsmarting Tony to take his wealth? Probably. Permanently hijacking his body and life? Something for a lesser being. Not Doom. Everything he's gained and owned is HIS.
@@hw7738 the petty and egotistical corruption of the mind for more and more power is what makes me believe it, just appreciating a well written comic that’s all 👌
@@gravoh I think it's a fun take, but it does help underscore that the real Doom would never stoop to this because it compromised his identity. To Doom, his true name is to be respected (or feared, whichever gets results) by everyone. Cheers.
I thought there were gonna do emperor stark because his origin ties to the mutants, but this version makes the most sense. Msybe they could do an amalgamation idk
Why not make it a special presentation or the first Disney+ movie or animated movie so that adequate resources n time can be made available for quality work. Koz the current whatif structure is just few minutes which IMO i don't think would do this story justice. Buh i see ur perspective n ts good ✌️
@@jozey5215 It doesn't have to be the exact story. Just get the audience used to the idea of Iron Man becoming Dr. Doom, and then give us the movie. It helps in dispelling 2 notions. 1. It's a desperate move and only done for fan service. 2. The idea is so ridiculous, you won't like it and find it in bad taste.
Or just hire a new fucking actor who can act just as good and give him recognition and not do this pce of shit no creativity move and waste millions on one single actor and instead INVEST IN YOUR PRODUCT. Oh, wait fans are seals and will buy a ticket just to see his face. "Oh yea these keys dangling in my face are awesome!" RIP Art. All the Snob Directors were right.
I wonder if Marvel will finally figure it out if they just adapt the comic books directly to the screen everyone will love it. It’s exactly how the first Iron Man movie was and RJ is the most comic book, accurate betrayal of any character I’ve ever seen.
1:18 They missed a golden opportunity to have Dr. Doom puzzling over the quadratic equation on a white board going "CURSE THESE INFERNAL NUMBER RIDDLES!"
RDJ is obviously aiming to knock it out the Multiverse, but I do hope that he lends some gravitas to his voice, in order to best express the Awesome Doom Quotes. Not a pick, coz like cummon...but still. Would wanna hear those amplified
Still feel like Micheal Fassbender wouldve been perfect for Doom. Especially given how he bodied & carried the X-Men Franchise alongside Hugh. Dude just has a certain intensity RDJ just..lacks as a villain.
Despite my complaints, I will accept this as long as MF Doom's "All Caps" plays at his arrival, there are no Downey or Tony Stark references, and Dr. Doom is portrayed in a unique way.
I kind of like this in context of mcu tony because from the start he has been obsessive to keep people safe but only he can and in his control. Builds iron man suit and doesn't allow government to take it, builds iron legion obsessively to keep pepper safe but it drives him insane, makes ultron without telling team, closely monitors early mcu spiderman, arguably prematurely went to thanos. I can see a variant of him where in endgame he survives and because he might have gone crazy from stones and seeing that it was his tech and mind that avenged the world he may be corrupted to think only he can keep the world safe, because he is obsessive and would be more extreme due to an unstable mind he would become more tyrannical and with the scars from the snap he covers up with the suit.

Agreed. I’m hoping rdj is a variant and doom prime is still out there. Perhaps even guiding rdj’s doom. I love rdj but I fear that after 20 yrs we’re not going to get THEE Dr. Doom. 😢
I really hope he gets to play the real dr doom and rdj is js an evil iron man variant
No

"Either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" so poetic
Yeah stop copying other people's comments
@@Ritualsrevengelolol 😅 the amount of times Ive seen this comment. The thing is, Ironman did die 😆
@@PittsburghSonidoYou've probably seen this a lot. "He did both."
Hey there Rob, I have a theory and I really hope you read this. Cause I know you love Hickman just as much as me. Okay so I think that Doomsday is going to be a story line following Doom running around trying to save the Multiverse by destroying other universes (much like he did in Time Runs out.) Our main heroes will be Stephen and America who by then will be able to follow him around the Multiverse. The movie will end with a cliff-hanger of Doom destroying all of the universes in a last ditch attempt. With a reveal that Doom recreated the multiverse in his image. Maybe there will be a Beyonder/Molecule Man that ones in the air. Then Secret Wars will of course be Battleworld from SW 2015 and it will follow ALL of the heroes banding together against God Emperor Doom in the same way we saw a giant ensemble for the last fight in Endgame. Now my only basis for this is 1 the movie titles but 2 the fact that they already used Hickmans creations i.e. The Black Order and The Outriders. Really this is all wishful thinking and I can’t wait to see what the actual end result is. Either love you man, take care!
As much as I’ve complained, about this as long as there is All Caps or Avalanche by MF Doom playing on his entrance and there is no Downey-isms and Tony Stark-isms and Dr Doom is portrayed differently all will be forgiven
They must use MF DOOM at some point for Doom. I literally need it. I NEED it.
Agreed
@@BlokHeadAnimimagine doomsday as the opening theme of the movie
This story is exactly what I thought of when I saw rdj show up at Dr doom
Why do I have a feeling Cillian Murphy is introvertedly giggling at a corner somewhere thinking...
"Good job, Robert. They have no idea what's coming." 🤭
Somewhere, Iron Doom
Elsewhere: Dr. Man
Awesome video man 😎
This story might be the adaptation in Avengers 5 in which that version of Doctor Doom was Tony from an alternate universe where the events of Iron Man 2 altered with him being too drunk & broke by turning evil.
I had the same idea. I think it's stupid if that's what the plan is.
Introducing evil tony as doctor Doom will go over about as well as the fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3
@@Loreweavver They introduced him as Victor Von Doom in Hall H. I don't think it's Tony Stark playing Doom
@@MNToThat
That is interesting. I am sure Disney came rolling in with some serious money for a 3 picture deal.
However, the issue is that once that is all said and done, Doom will have to be given to another actor. It's all still the changing of the guard, eventually.
@@LordofSyn Well, Doom will likely just be a voice-over role after the first movie so RDJ can do it for decades, unlike live acting.
It stinks of MCU desperation though. They better pull it off
@@LoreweavverThey said in the panel that he won’t be a Tony variant/a Tony variant gone evil. He’s just straight up Victor Von Doom
I don’t get why people are pushing the idea that it will be an Iron Man variant. It’s just going to be a regular Victor Von Doom portrayed by RDJ.
Cuz they’re confused by the fact it’s RDJ. Even tho they said clear as day on stage “victor” lol
I think a tony stark variant takes the mantle of Victor Von Doom
Sneider had this scoop in may, & it said he’s a tony stark variant
Yep, Rob is wrong. The video is sadly a waste of time. Iron Man will not become doom. RDJ is just going to play Doom. The mcu has never followed the comics and will always do their own thing.
@aahmad6278 no. We won't even see his face. He's playing Victor Von doom.
Magic is science that we can’t explain yet.
Yeah, Doom uses scientific magic, but he also uses demonic magic. He uses technology and black magic at the same time. Although I guess he's a little better at technology, because I think he still can't get his mom out of hell.
Our existence and our origin to be created by nothing is magic
"your ancestors called it magic, and you call it science."
I sometimes think about that. So many of the things we use and abuse nowadays are explained magic. Like, if we proved demon summoning is real, it will be a shock for sometime, but then after a few years it will have scientific explanations, books will be written and eventually, why wouldn't it be science? We'd have reproducible ways of doing it, documentation, theories, where does the magic start and science end? It's quite literally why we can't have magic for too long in our world, it's impossible. If it's real, it will eventually be researched, explained, catalogued, and become science.
Princess Bubblegum!
Maximum effort with the production of this video! Respect! Shalom
Fun concept for a comic, shaky concept for an avengers movie.
10:55 I really thought you said: "But now he's got herpes and meaning" 🤣
New mask. Same task. 🔥
To save the universe??? Just like he did in Hickmans run🤔🤔🤔
Victor Von Doom has a severely scared and disfigured face so literally RDJ could play him without any cross over into Iron Man.
U have a point
that is what I hope is the case, I genuinely hope the fact that it is rdj playing it is only because he a genuinely fantastic actor and is not relevant to the character at all. if it's an iron man related thing I'm gonna be so disappointed
@@isaiahisaiahisaiah1 I agree. The enigma of Dr Doom in the comics is you never see his face and the fact he is so disfigured. I want to see Victor Von Doom not some variation. Use a younger actor for the Victor Von Doom origin, then let RBJ loose as the Dr. Doom in the comics
This is what I'm saying. There literally has to be zero meta "you look just like Tony!" references. An actor's job is to make a character come to life. If the end result is a different character who looks, sounds, and feels different, there is no reason why one actor can't play multiple guys.
@@dasvibe I think this is actually the likely outcome given that RDJ has spoken publicly about wanting more challenging projects and feeling like playing Tony for so long weakened his acting chops. I bet Marvel kept coming back begging for him to return as Tony and he kept saying no, wanting a more interesting role that wouldn't just coast on his star power. So they said "ok how about you play the dude whose face is literally never shown and is the exact opposite of Tony Stark in almost every way" and he said yes.
18:18 - The MCU needs you, Rob!
Woooh! Excited and cautiously optimistic, thanks for the breakdown
Was waiting for this video 😭
Good play uploading this lol. I think this can definitely work in the movies, but can also easily be one of marvels biggest mistakes. Im very nervous but i hope they can do this right
Love your channel bro, happy you’re successful
RIP we will never see Real Dr Doom in Live Action.
u are a legend looking forward to more videos like this with all this new exciting news
But the Russo's clearly said he's Victor Von Doom.
This guy is also Victor von Doom. Clearly.
They also stated that being in the multiverse saga is what makes this kind of casting choice a possibility. That statement isn’t really necessary if they’re not going to link Doom to Tony in some way. Whether it’s this story or something else
this channel is 🐐.... i have to share these to some of peeps
I really like these kind of elseworld stories that take the core essence of a character and then use that to make a different, but recognizable path. Tony is an innovator, an honorable man, and someone that for all his faults ultimately wants to help people.
Been WAITING for this!
Awesome. Now, make Hulk the real Hulk. Unstoppable, no bs, speed, power, rage, no f's given, endurance, durability and instant healing if he does get hurt. Real fn Hulk
I just want Immortal Hulk as a TV show, so much happens in that series that there is no way they could do it as a movie ;p
Might not get a good hulk unfortunately, now that the russo brothers are back
LOL They won't do shit with Hulk. They suck. Look what they did with Skarr. A Shy Hipster who works at Starbucks.
My first thought was they are adapting Demon In An Armor. Doom tricks Stark into building a machine that transfer their minds. Cillian Murphy could still be cast as the real Doom, I hope this is how it goes down!
This was 🔥🔥🔥
"What If..." has always been an excellent series: the comics,animation, (live action?). An endless goldmine of possibilities.
ever since the news got released last night i’ve been thinking about how much comicstorian would’ve loved the casting choice and immediately posted a video over this as well. both comicstorian and comics explained raised me as a kid with comic books and i can’t thank either one for giving us such fun videos.
Been waiting for this video
Guess this Doom will look like that for the upcoming Avengers movie featuring Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom.
Oh this video was very cool! I’m looking forward for Avengers: Doomsday even more now!
They apparently arent using either of these stories, there is a new comic run out now called The Ultimates and they are saying that the issue coming in September will explain how and why they are using RDJ for Doom
I knew this video was coming as soon as I heard the announcement. You never disappoint.
Seeing this happen and play out in the MCU Fantastic 4 universe, and see RDJ appear in the role during secret wars would be INSANE!
This story just makes so much sense, being a dr doom story he would definitely do something like this to continue for absolute power.
Doom 616 has been petty and egotistical, but would consider it utterly beneath him to do this. He had such an ego after all. To achieve all his goals by his own unstoppable drive, no matter how battered his own body might become.
Outsmarting Tony to take his wealth? Probably. Permanently hijacking his body and life? Something for a lesser being. Not Doom. Everything he's gained and owned is HIS.
@@hw7738 the petty and egotistical corruption of the mind for more and more power is what makes me believe it, just appreciating a well written comic that’s all 👌
@@gravoh I think it's a fun take, but it does help underscore that the real Doom would never stoop to this because it compromised his identity.
To Doom, his true name is to be respected (or feared, whichever gets results) by everyone.
Cheers.
@@hw7738 things change all the time man no need to chaffer my ear about my opinion on this particular comic.
Nice to see you back. o7
I thought there were gonna do emperor stark because his origin ties to the mutants, but this version makes the most sense. Msybe they could do an amalgamation idk
Excellent and timely video.
Marvel needs to make this into a What If episode. So that people won't have the cognitive dissonance when they see RDJ in Doomsday.
Why not make it a special presentation or the first Disney+ movie or animated movie so that adequate resources n time can be made available for quality work.
Koz the current whatif structure is just few minutes which IMO i don't think would do this story justice.
Buh i see ur perspective n ts good ✌️
If you're not already familiar with "Iron Man: Demon in an Armor," check it out! :)
@@jozey5215 It doesn't have to be the exact story. Just get the audience used to the idea of Iron Man becoming Dr. Doom, and then give us the movie. It helps in dispelling 2 notions.
1. It's a desperate move and only done for fan service.
2. The idea is so ridiculous, you won't like it and find it in bad taste.
Or just hire a new fucking actor who can act just as good and give him recognition and not do this pce of shit no creativity move and waste millions on one single actor and instead INVEST IN YOUR PRODUCT.
Oh, wait fans are seals and will buy a ticket just to see his face. "Oh yea these keys dangling in my face are awesome!"
RIP Art. All the Snob Directors were right.
@@refugeehugsforfree4151 Waste? Are you saying RDJ is a bad actor that's not worth the money?
They should turn this story into a Marvel Special Presentation for the non-comic book fans to help make sense of what just happened at SDCC.
Cool video. I knew absolutely nothing about Dr. Doom before watching.
RDJ is Playing Victor Von Doom not Tony Stark
I'm pretty sure he's going to be Victor Von Doom, not a Tony Stark variant.
I got on youtube and forgot what I wanted to search up, and then I saw this video and went “OH RIGHT THATS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE”
If only comicstorian was still with us. He wouldve loved a reveal like this. RIP😔❤️
I wonder if Marvel will finally figure it out if they just adapt the comic books directly to the screen everyone will love it. It’s exactly how the first Iron Man movie was and RJ is the most comic book, accurate betrayal of any character I’ve ever seen.
Phase 6 might be lit but if they do a plot twist and show kang when dr doom thinks he won would be crazy 😂
I think the Beyonder (kang) will still be in secret wars
This announcement reeks of desperation.
Exactly.
Doom is runner up to sorcerer supreme aswell, wonder how adept Tony is at magick? Robert Downey Jr better go FULL Doom like in Tropic Thunder...
Never go full Doom
1:18 They missed a golden opportunity to have Dr. Doom puzzling over the quadratic equation on a white board going "CURSE THESE INFERNAL NUMBER RIDDLES!"
RDJ is obviously aiming to knock it out the Multiverse, but I do hope that he lends some gravitas to his voice, in order to best express the Awesome Doom Quotes. Not a pick, coz like cummon...but still. Would wanna hear those amplified
Still feel like Micheal Fassbender wouldve been perfect for Doom. Especially given how he bodied & carried the
X-Men Franchise alongside Hugh. Dude just has a certain intensity RDJ just..lacks as a villain.
Fassbender has been my top choice for Doom for like a decade now.
As for RDJ as a villain, we got to see some of that in Oppenheimer.
Bro took "don't get bitter, get better" the wrong way😂. Built a whole machine just to swap minds
God i was waiting for this
Can you repost your infamous iron man playlist. I can’t find it
Despite my complaints, I will accept this as long as MF Doom's "All Caps" plays at his arrival, there are no Downey or Tony Stark references, and Dr. Doom is portrayed in a unique way.
I kind of like this in context of mcu tony because from the start he has been obsessive to keep people safe but only he can and in his control. Builds iron man suit and doesn't allow government to take it, builds iron legion obsessively to keep pepper safe but it drives him insane, makes ultron without telling team, closely monitors early mcu spiderman, arguably prematurely went to thanos. I can see a variant of him where in endgame he survives and because he might have gone crazy from stones and seeing that it was his tech and mind that avenged the world he may be corrupted to think only he can keep the world safe, because he is obsessive and would be more extreme due to an unstable mind he would become more tyrannical and with the scars from the snap he covers up with the suit.
