Stolen Lives…
What stolen lives could Doom be exactly referring to?
From what I know, multiple characters, in a sense, are living “stolen” lives.
- X-Men: Prime Logan went back in time to fix their timeline to prevent the literal end of Mutants. Changing the past seemed to only prolong the mutants' lives before Charles’ “accident” in 2029.
- Thor Odinson: he lost his entire family, Asgard, and half of his people, and allowed Gorr to commit mass genocide, but still gained a daughter figure through Gorr’s wish to Eternity. Thor basically was given an unearned second chance built upon cosmic tragedy.
- Steve Rogers: Steve decided to use the Quantum Realm to stay with Peggy, essentially stealing decades of a life he originally missed and creating a branched timeline.
- Loki: Loki has cheated death multiple times and given more chances at redemption than any that may have deserved it. The variant Loki escaped during the 2012 Time Heist & went on to cheat destiny to become God of Stories.
- Scott Lang: Scott has defied death/consequences many times. He arguably should've died during his first trip into the Quantum Realm to defeat Yellowjacket; instead, Janet technically saved him. Then Scott survived the literal snap that affected millions of lives only because he was trapped in the QR, and then used that same tech to undo Thanos’ snap. When Scott encounters a Kang variant in the QR and really should have died as well. Instead, Hope turned back and granted Scott another chance to win.
- Sue Storm: Sue literally died in FFFS. But Franklin used his powers to grant her a second chance.
- The Thunderbolts* (except Bobby): Yelena, Bucky, Ghost, RG, and JW, were all supposed to be either dead, or in a prison cell for their previous actions, yet were granted second chances at heroism.
Or…My theory is that Doom is referencing something personal that Sue & Reed have caused early on as the F4. Or perhaps it relates to the murals on his walls that clearly tell a bigger story.
