Dr. Doom is one of the most iconic villains in comic book history. Yet, he often transcends the traditional role of a villain, assuming the mantle of an anti-hero, a reluctant ally, or sometimes even a hero, all while maintaining his distinctive identity and perspective. Special guest J. Scotty St. Claire joins me for an in-depth discussion on Doctor Doom, exploring how his varied depictions illuminate the influential role of context in delineating the villain from the hero.

J. Scotty St. Clair is a media jack-of-all-trades, an emerging content creator, and a contributor to the Stranded Panda Network. His expertise spans across comic books, podcasting, drawing fandom-centric cartoons, dissecting film/TV narratives, and belting out karaoke tunes.
