Instead of fighting Magneto during the Mutant-Human War, Doom offered to fight by his side. Realizing that mutants were obviously the next step in human evolution, Doom wanted to be on the winning side of the war-and he was. Doom became Magneto's most successful ally. Although neither of them truly trusted each other, each man respected the other's powers and abilities.

After the mutant victory over the humans, Doom took over the nation of New Latveria. He eventually married a woman named Valeria and had a child, Kristoff; he transformed them into the superhumans Invincible Woman and the Torch, respectively. They, along with the monstrous It, form the Fearsome Four. The group is used as a strike force by Magneto to keep other superhumans in line. It is a position Doom would prefer not to be in, but with the amount of mutants in the world, and the power Magneto has over them, it would be unwise to lash out in frustration. Especially with no concrete plan laid out for victory.
