Warning : Contains SPOILERS for Thunderbolts : Doomstrike # 1!Doctor Doomhas of late taken a liking to one of the heroes ( or , rather , antiheroes ) in theThunderbolts , which is a development that lines up perfectly with the introduction of both Doom and the Thunderbolts in theMCU . The Thunderbolts are making their MCU debut as a team inThunderbolts * , while Doctor Doom could make his MCU appearance as former asFantastic Four : First Steps . And now , it seems those two MCU debuts could be connected , as Marvel Comics build it cleared that Doom really like one of the Thunderbolts : Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier .
In a prevue forThunderbolts : Doomstrike#1 by Jackson Lanzing , Collin Kelly , and Tommaso Bianchi , Doctor Doom - who has recently climb up to the rank of Marvel ’s Sorcerer Supreme- reaches out to Bucky Barnes personally with an fling . At this point in Marvel Comics canon , Doom has used his newfound power to take over the world , reshaping it into “ One World Under Doom ” . And , as revealed in this preview , he wants the Winter Soldier to join him .
Doctor Doom wants to make Bucky Barnes his “ Right Hand ” , and give him the leadership position over his secret law personnel call Fulgur Victoris . Of course , Barnes has no interest in being used as a weapon system for a known super - villain , as he ’s spend his bonny share of time doing that as the Winter Soldier ( which he is still attempt to atone for ) . Barnes turn Doom down , and give away that he only met with him to get check that he does , in fact , have a secret police force , which is what the Thunderbolts will assuredly pass this serial trying to dismantle .
Why Doctor Doom Likes (& Wants to Recruit) Bucky Barnes
Doom has a History with the Winter Soldier in Marvel Comics
While it ’s interesting that Doctor Doom want to make Bucky Barnes one of his own personal top soldiers within his new world authorities , this development does beg one question : why ? One does n’t normally associate Doctor Doom with the Winter Soldier , so it seems leftover that Doom is reaching out to Bucky now . Or , does it ? In fact , as Doom points out in this prevue , these two have a partake in story , which explicate why Doom would want to enrol Bucky for this role .
During a former delegation , when the Winter Soldier was trying to eliminate the Red Skull ( and Zemo ) , Bucky used Doom to pull the trigger , as he knew Doom ’s near - unparalleled power would be enough to kill them permanently . That earned Doom ’s obedience . Then , Bucky and the Thunderbolts toppled dictatorships around the world , which ( unbeknownst to them ) help Doom consolidate power follow his rise to world drawing card . That earned Doom ’s appreciation . So , now that Doom is the ruler of the cosmos , he want to give Bucky a chance to have an authoritative berth in it , even if Bucky has other ideas .
What This New Relationship Between Doctor Doom & the Winter Soldier Could Mean for the MCU
Will MCU’s Doctor Doom Try to Recruit Bucky Barnes?
Right now , it ’s unacceptable to know exactlywhat Doctor Doom will be up to when he enters the MCU . One likely option is that he will sample to raise other heroes / villains to link up his cause ( whatever that may be ) , and take shape something of his own ‘ Dark Avengers ’ . It ’s been suppose that Doom will partner with Hydra Cap ( if that Captain America chance variable makes an show at all ) , so it ’s possible that Doom might also attempt to recruit a known super - soldier / living - weapon : the Winter Soldier . Could this funny be teasing that MCU alliance ?
Marvel latterly introduced an all - new edition of Wolverine , and he conduct both Weapon X and the Winter Soldier while also charting a whole new way .
It might be a bit of a stretchability to recall that Marvel Comics is teasing any sort of dark coalition between the MCU ’s Doctor Doom and Bucky Barnes , though admittedly , the timing here is funny . Indeed , both Doctor Doom and the Thunderbolts are about to make their MCU debut , and correctly before that happens , it ’s bring out thatDoctor Doomsecretly like one of theThunderbolts , which could be tease their future in theMCU .
