My theory how Tony becomes Doom

When the Avengers went back to 2012, Loki escaped with the Tesseract. The Russo brothers confirmed that timeline was never fixed. That branch is still out there. So what if in that timeline, things played out differently? Tony pushed harder for the "suit of armor around the world" and created Ultron. But this time, Ultron won. He dropped Sokovia, millions died, and the Avengers lost. Cap, Thor, Nat, Clint, Bruce — all dead. Tony was the only survivor. Wanda's vision came true. Tony was forced to live with the guilt, watching his creation destroy everything he loved.

He couldn't live in a universe where he failed everyone. So he decided he'd create a new one. A universe where none of this ever happened. That's when he stopped being Tony Stark and became Doctor Doom.

Doomsday Theory: Origins

This might come off as stupid of me and it's going to be long too.

What if the Doctor Doom is the same Tony Stark that we all know to grow and love and not a variant. So, after watching Avengers Endgame, I noticed one thing, that the dead body of Tony Stark wasn't there anywhere. Now here comes the interesting part.

Tony's face got heavily damaged and scarred due to him using the infinity gaunlet to snap away Thanos and his army into dust.

We also saw Nick Fury at his funeral. Now, this becomes interesting.

What if...Nick Fury used Project TAHITI to resurrect Tony Stark? I know the original project TAHITI was destroyed, but what if he developed a similar serum from the blood and remains of the 2014 Chitauri army, as it was revealed in Secret Invasion that he collected the blood of all avengers from the battlefield. So, wouldn't it make sense if he collected blood from the Black Order and Chitauri too in order to develop a serum to resurrect Stark like he did with Coulson?

As Tony performed the snap, could it be possible that the stones, snapped with the nanotech gaunlet of the Mark 85 armor, plus the alien serum gave him some sort of superior cosmic sorcery power.

However, as it was revealed, that the serum had severe side effects, which made the user unstable, and it causes them to go mad and lose their sanity. Could Doctor Doom be a result of an attempt to resurrect Tony, all to create a villain that has his face, but is insane?

What do you guys think of this?

I think the Symbiote is causing Peter to mutate.

So this has been on my mind for ages so ima just get it out and see how it does ig. I cba to go into how this will impact spiderman BND but yeah I'm js trying to prove the Symbiote is making him mutate.

So basically my first point is that we have 2 post credit scenes that link the Symbiote to Peter the first being in Venom Let There Be Carnage where we see Venom is pretty interested in Peter Parker and then Spider Man No Way Home where we see venom leave a drop of himself in the MCU. So yeah basically the timing just makes sense. So like maybe that blob just has it in its conscious to find Peter Parker.

Second is that in the BND trailer we see Peters eyes go completely black when in near death situations such as Scorpions tail like inches from his face or a Ninja from The Hand about to hit him with a Katana. What I caught onto is that when his eyes go black he gains a lot of strength and stops holding back because he manhandles scorpion even flipping a cop car in the process and also shatters the Katana of The Hand. So this could be the Symbiote protecting the host (Peter) from dying because if Peter dies it dies.

Third so basically this one may be a stretch but it makes way too much sense to me so I'm including it. So because the droplet of Symbiote that may be inside Peter is from the Venom from Earth 688 and not 616 it is a foreign Symbiote. So like what if this means the Symbiote runs into complications during bonding due to universes having different laws (i dunno how true this is it just makes sense to me). So therefore the Symbiote needs to MUTATE it's host (in this case Peter) to survive inside the host.

Next about the mind controlling villain person from the trailer who I'm like 99% sure is Jean Grey. We know Peter is immune to the mind control which must mean either Jean is doing it on purpose or something is stopping her from taking control of him possibly a dual consciousness dual to the symbiote. So the Symbiote is preventing Jean from taking control of Peter because it is already sort of in control. AND in the BND trailer we see that Jean is controlling a random citizen and they say "Hey Spiderman, got rid of that monster inside of you?". I really can't think of much else Jean could mean by that other than the Symbiote (Venom).

I have also thought of a way this could lead to secret wars in some way or at least from spidermans POV. So like imagine the Symbiote doesn't show itself at all during the movie other than like the mutating DNA and lashouts Peter has. Imagine at the end Peter dies and then like Hulk finished the final villain off. Then Peter is buried as spiderman and not Peter Parker because Peter Parker doesn't exist and then the post credit scene is Peters grave with rumbling and stuff beneath it and then Peter emerges with the black suit just like in the Kravens Last Hunt comic and then it cuts to "Spiderman will return in Avengers Secret Wars". This is just my own little spin on it because like they're recreating a bunch of comic panels within the movie and I just thought this would be cool and in the comics Peter first gets the Symbiote suit in secret wars so it would be a cool way to introduce this.

Thats about it, it's my first post so I dunno exactly if I done a good job or not. Please correct me if anything I've said is false or something. Personally I don't think they'll of the Symbiote route because there is also a lot in the trailer that points away from it but still if they do the Symbiote route I hope it is something like what I've said above. Feel free to point out any holes in the theory or something I dunno I've talked enough bye 😭

Based off Leaks (Spoilers for Doomsday… Maybe?)

So I’m gonna take a guess just based off everything swirling around in media today about Avengers Doomsday. I think Doom will take Franklin Richards as a last resort. See they revealed Doom at the end of FF:FS and now we’re all thinking “Ah shit he’s already got the boy”… I was thinking that at least. Anyway, the ideas swirling the internet suggest to me that Doom’s plot is already laid and finished. We just haven’t seen it in motion yet; BUT, he won’t exactly win as according to plan.

What plan ever does go accordingly anyhow? So what I’m trying to say is, Doom’s gonna do all that Multiverse smashing crap and we’re probably gonna get some sort of Beyonder for Game of Worlds concept. Maybe. However, due to being from mostly an analog realm and having a little extra padding (cosmic shielding whatever) I think F4 will thwart him, THEN in turn he steals their son and re-writes everything in a last-ditch effort to win.
So, not an absolute win.
BUT still the God Emperor win; I feel like this context matters, again this is just me completely winging it though based off prior info.

(NOTE: I’m not basing this off leaks, I like to research overall public theory based on the source material and casting contents. As well as what we already have right in front of us best example being Franklin and Doom on screen.)

Tengo una teoría

​

We all know Peter will have organic webs in Brand New Day.

My theory is that this isn't just a random change.

What if the movie actually takes place in Battleworld, but Marvel doesn't tell us until the ending? It would be a crazy cliffhanger leading into Doomsday.

Think about it. Peter always needed web cartridges. If everyone ends up trapped in Battleworld, who's gonna make more web fluid for him? Nobody.

Giving him organic webs would solve that problem. Unlimited webs, no need to build cartridges, and he can survive in Battleworld without depending on technology.

It could also explain why characters that shouldn't even exist in the MCU (like Jean Grey, if the rumors are true) suddenly appear. They wouldn't be from Earth-616... they'd already be in Battleworld.

Maybe I'm completely wrong 😂 but I think it would actually make a lot of sense.

What do you guys think?

Time Stone theory

​

How did the Time Stone, encased within the Eye of Agamotto, end up on Earth in the hands of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, becoming their primary weapon against the forces of evil? Let’s hear your theories!

We know that the Space Stone was entrusted to Earth by the Asgardians before returning to Asgard years later.

As for the Mind Stone, it arrived on Earth in 2012 inside the Chitauri scepter, before being retrieved by Ultron, who then embedded it in Vision’s forehead.

My theory is that Earth is not the only planet with sorcerers. We know, for instance, that Krugarr—a member of the Ravagers—also masters the mystic arts.

I therefore believe that sorcerers from another planet entrusted the Time Stone to Earth's sorcerers, knowing that our world remained particularly vulnerable to mystical and interdimensional threats. Earth's sorcerers would then have sealed it within the Eye of Agamotto to protect it and use it to defend the planet.

the Betrayed God & the Punisher

the Betrayed God & the Punisher

God is the one & the ever long

So, he decided to create something new

He called them human

they shall have the spirit and power

They shall be greater than anything created

i was one of them

God gave us the will power to shape our own lives

but the powers to be manipulated & swept god's laws under the rug

and we were unanimous on one rule,

the survival of the fittest and the strong

and the rest either they obey or face demotion

Big mistake as i see it

I shaped some of me and society shaped the rest

It was innuendos, suspicion and hate

I became what they made me but never wished for

and they chastised me so i did what i did

I’ll message god through prayer

that he shouldn’t rely on me to spread his good word

but i can do with wrath

He should punish those around me why do they have to wait?

for they had a say in whom I've become

And I’m not going down alone

i'm reserving our spot in hell to settle once more

to wish they never met me, that they never provoked me

They’ve put me though nights darker than their souls

They tried to write my story while sitting on the sidelines

I’ve written them into my end story

and they ain’t gonna like it much

for a while cold feet taught me to take a good look around

That I’m still standing alone Stripped to the bones

I’ve realized that I’ve seen it all

Been through it all from stranger to zombie

the're reaping what they have sown Let’s see how they like it now

Storms swept through me

And now I’m the storm claiming them

I’m doing gods work my way

I know god is around

I just chose to ignore him

i'm not interested in benevolent sermons

I’ll be the judge, jury and executioner

I flipped a coin between vengeance and faith

It stood upright

So i used faith to fuel vengeance

i am the punisher

i am the punisher

I’ve got the devil next to me praying

I take it easy on my enemies

But he doesn’t know the hell i carry in my chest

cause all he knows is to talk the talk

I walked the walked through the fire

I’m going down that road and burn mercy to the ground

It ain’t for me

i know god promised us judgement day

so, expediting my services free of charge is how

i dispatched the nemesis's early to seal this chapter

I’m going to meet god stripped down to my polished bones clean slate

and tell him that people betrayed him in his name

and I'll watch him

bestow his promises of mercy amongst whom obeyed

and wrath on those who gravely sinned

I'll get mine and i don't mind

for only god could judge me because i love him

only god could judge me

=

i am the punisher and i am being judged by the betrayed god

i am the punisher and i am being judged by the betrayed god

equal injustice is Justice for all

and i don't mind

only god can judge me

THEORY: What if The Scarlet Witch awakened Peter Parker’s dormant organic webs gene post MoM in Spider-Man Brand New Day?

My theory is that Peter suddenly having organic webs in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not just some random power upgrade. Right? In House of M, Peter Parker is still known as Spider-Man, but after Wanda rewrites reality, the world basically treats him like he’s a mutant. His whole life is different: he’s famous, Uncle Ben is alive, he’s married to Gwen Stacy, and he has the life he was never supposed to have. But the crazy part is that Peter’s real secret in that world is that he was never actually a mutant, everyone just believes he is because of Wanda’s reality rewrite. So what if the MCU is doing a version of that, where Wanda’s magic has already started changing how people’s powers and origins work?

That would make Peter’s organic webs feel way more important than just “oh, he can shoot webs now.” It could be the first sign that Wanda’s spell, death, return, or chaos magic fallout is awakening dormant mutant genes, or rewriting certain enhanced people into something closer to mutants. We know Doctor Strange’s spell already changed the world’s memory of Peter, but I’m not really talking about his identity. I’m talking about Marvel maybe playing with the idea that the world, or even reality itself, starts treating him like a mutant. And if the Jean Grey rumors are true, or if mutants are being introduced through Brand New Day, then Peter changing biologically could be the first hint that the mutant era already started before anyone fully realizes it. Then Vision Quest could be where we finally get the context for what Wanda actually did, how she’s coming back, or whether her magic caused a bigger reset. I just finished House of M, so that’s where this idea came from, but after watching the Brand New Day stuff it immediately made me think of this event. What do y’all think?

Note: This matters because Marvel is actively purusuing the Mutant Saga, and The Scarlet Witch has unrefutable contribution to the whole storyline. SHE literally reset the entire marvel universe.

Iron man's story follows the song iron man by black sabath

the most modern iron man plotline has him

  1. travel through time to save all of man kind and die due to it

"When he travelled time
For the future of mankind"

and now due to robert downey junior being casted as DOOM being confirmed

  1. he comes back for his revenge

"Now its time For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved"

and due to doom being fully covered in a metal suit these lyrics also fit

"Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread"

Come i cattivi che si riflettono nell'occhio di Spiderman, nei poster dei precedenti film di Spiderman e quali cattivi sono morti in questi film, persino MJ, che si riflette nell'occhio di Spiderman nel nuovo poster di Spiderman Brand New Day, quindi morirà?

Peccato che su polymarket non ci sia una scommessa su chi morirà questa volta nel prossimo film Sony dedicato a Spider-Man, altrimenti una puntata sulla morte di MI l’avrei fatta!

Another BND theory..

As rumors suggest, one of the main villains could be Miles Warren (AKA The Jackal), so this connects him to other rumored villains (Sadie Sink) depending on the lore from the comics it adapts.

So apart from 'The Other' (organic webbing and cocoon), man - spider ('The mutant agenda' and other 'spider-man TAS' episodes, and also 'The Other') and Hulk instead of the lizard, the movie may clearly be adapting 'Spider - Island' and even 'Dark Web' .

So for those who don't know, in 'spider - Island' comic book event, Adriana Soria, a mutant military woman was injected with a variant of the super soldier serum which gave her insect related powers, formed an alliance with The Jackal in order to create a virus that gave new Yorkers Spiderman powers but with a side effect, letting Soria to control them, and later morphing them in horrendous human - spider hybrids. That would mean that all the mind controlled people like the old lady in the tank and the others, had been infected but Punisher wasn't. And so Sadie Sink could be playing her (perhaps mixed with Shathra \[multiversal spider - wasp that preys on and infects spider - totem users)\] .

But what if they are going on a different route, maintaining The Jackal as a plot device to be similar to' spider - Island', but replacing all Adriana Soria related stuff in favor of Madelyne Pryor, Jean Grey's tragic villainous clone? So in this movie, Pryor could have been created by Warren but their plot device could be inspired by the ' Dark Web' event from the comics, which allied Pryor with Ben Reilly (Peter's clone) and pushed Spider - man and the x-men against them?

Other theories suggest that Sadie could be playing Mastermind, another mutant with similar powers to Jean's who also confronted spider - man.

I doubt it could be Cassandra nova that somehow escaped her erasure, or a reincarnated body of Wanda.

I also doubt she could be playing other Grey - Summers relatives and even Jean Grey (who I think wouldn't be dumb to be manipulated by Warren) or wouldn't be as that evil being possessed by the phoenix force.

I also doubt about other characters, even gender swapped etc..

Which theory do you agree more with? Let me know, and please, understand that English isn't my main language.

The Man-Spider/Spider Puberty plot in BND is a red herring for the Symbiote

Many people will find this unlikely but hear me out. I think that the whole "Man-Spider" or Spider-Puberty mutation plot they are pushing for Brand New Day is just the effect of the symbiote on Peter's body.

Here is why all the pieces actually point to the symbiote:

Marvel/Sony like to lie in the marketing: First of all, we know they do this. Stuff like erasing Tobey and Andrew from the NWH trailers and the fabricated scenes (e.g Hulk in Infinity War) to hide plot points. Nobody is really asking for a Man-Spider-ish mutation movie right now, especially as a follow-up to the hype weight of No Way Home. Hiding a highly anticipated symbiote story behind a weird mutation plot is exactly the kind of misdirection they would pull to keep the symbiote reveal a secret.

The web tornado and black eyes: In the trailer, Peter is shooting organic webs from all over his body, like his chest and shoulders, to make that web tornado. You know what does that? The symbiote. It's alien biomass that can create tendrils or webs from anywhere on the host's body.

Same goes for his eyes. Peter's eyes are turning pitch black. Some people online correlate this with Man-Spider but his are red or yellow eyes because he turns into a literal bug. I think the black eyes are quite simply the symbiote moving inside of his body, like those parasites you see in animal eyes sometimes (or even similar to Tom Hardy's eyes when he is possessed by the symbiote while still in human form). The eyes turning black is basically "symbiote activation," where the alien either takes over Peter in that moment or empowers him.

The timing just makes sense: NWH literally ended with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock leaving a piece of the symbiote behind in the MCU, and we know it has an innate appetite for Peter (Venom 2 post-credit scene). Right now, Peter is completely isolated. He lost his aunt, his friends forgot him, and he is totally alone. That is the most perfect, vulnerable mental state for the symbiote to latch onto.

Timeline-wise this is followed up by Doomsday, which leads right into Secret Wars. Secret Wars is literally where the Black Suit debuted in the comics. Introducing the internal corruption now and saving the actual physical Black Suit for the final act or Secret Wars is the perfect homage for the comic's timeline and it feels like such a Feige thing to do.

Mac Gargan and "The Shadow": Mac Gargan has hated Peter since Homecoming. He got disfigured, thrown in jail, and now he's finally back as Scorpion. From the trailer, he's going to get absolutely obliterated by a violent, out-of-control Peter.

https://preview.redd.it/x7y8uge9ic9h1.png?width=2034&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d158e19247bda9ac4bbfeea899314ce31319c12

If you look at this post Michael Mando made, he explicitly says Scorpion's purpose is to help Spider-Man "recognize and embrace his shadow." That feels like more than just a subplot or battle between Spidey and a jobber.

Peter beating him to a pulp is Gargan getting his first taste of the symbiote's power. It sets Gargan up perfectly to slowly become a nuanced, terrifying Venom in the next movies instead of retreading Eddie Brock or using Flash Thompson (who is too silly in the MCU to be a serious Venom imo). I know Gargan's venom is not very popular but he spent almost a decade as Venom and he was influential (the jagged massive Spider logo and the massive Venom size came from his tenure as the villain). The MCU can definitely write him better than the comics and Mando is a great actor who can kill it as a nuanced, interesting Venom.

The supporting cast narratively supports this: Look at the characters they brought in for this. Bruce Banner, who is the ultimate parallel for dealing with a dangerous "Other" living inside your body (Hulk). Punisher is here, who serves as the perfect moral mirror, if Peter starts getting hyper-violent and almost murderous under the symbiote's influence, Frank Castle's involvement becomes more pertinent. Even the rumors of Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey might play into her giving some insight on how Peter's mind is affected by the symbiote.

TL;DR: BND's transformation is due to the symbiote. There is no Black Suit at the start because the symbiote will begin as a biological infection acting like a parasite bonding with Peter at the cellular level. The suit can come in the third act or until Spidey's next appearance in Secret Wars. The film will also set up Mac Gargan as the MCU's future Venom as a slow-cook villain instead of a one and done in the same film.
