The lore inside Marvel Rivals is all about “Timestream Entanglement,” which happen because both Dooms experiments in same time. This causes fractures in timelines and realities, and now Doom and future Doom 2099 stay trap in a struggle for who is the strongest ruler of Latveria.
During the seasons, each version of Doom operate like the big threat behind the curtain, moving pieces in shadow:
- In Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, the modern Doom uses Dracula for making a new power source, but later he betrays him when vampires try to take over New York.
- In Season 2: Hellfire Gala, Doom 2099 travelled to Krakoa and had involvement with Ultron’s return, pushing more of his plan.
These actions indicate that maybe the story will arrive one day when one or both Dooms finally become playable, making their war right in the center of the game.

The comic Doomed 2099 #1 by Frank Tieri, Delio Diaz, and Frank Alzibar telling a story that looks very close for the game plot. It’s not only a simple fight for power, instead Doom 2099 is drawn as a regretful character. He try to stop his young self from making mistakes he has already made. For that, he collects heroes from many timelines and attempts to fight the present Doom, who is Sorcerer Supreme now.
At the end, the tale turn dark, showing how Doctor Doom rage finally destroys all heroes, villains, civilians, leaving himself only ruler of an empty future.
Meaning for the Game
This kind of comic can impact Marvel Rivals, showing Doom 2099 not just as a plain villain. He may even play a tragic role, perhaps joining heroes as reluctant ally when they become playable. The rivalry of present Doom and future Doom 2099 could deliver a dramatic climax for the game’s story.
With Season 3 almost ending, many fans think the conflict of both Dooms soon will rise to front, maybe leading to the showdown players wait from long time.
