Doctor Doom
Doctor Octopus
Doctor Bruce Banner

Is that a deliberate theme?

    Doctor doctor, I'm suffering from insomnia icon_cry.gif

    Try sleeping on the edge of your mattress, you'll soon drop off. Or leave Europe then the PvEs might end at a civilised time


    Seriously, I am hoping there is a theme icon_e_smile.gif Hopefully one that involves a third power for Doom
  • Incoming Doom buff! Third power on its way!

    It would be nice.
    But icon_falcon.png was on loading screen previously and received no change, or have I missed something?

    btw why is there only Dr Doom on Steam loading screen instead of the three doctors mentioned by Nonce icon_question.gif

    They forgot Thor, aka Dr. Blake.

    Or would they be considered 2 different people?

    If you really want to get technical, what about Beast, aka Dr. McCoy, and Moonstone, aka Dr. Sofen?

    (now if only they could add Dr. Reed Richards we would have enough doctors to open our own private practice icon_e_biggrin.gif )

    I wouldnt get your hopes up for a doom buff. The most obvious explanation is that they are releasing doc ock, and hes a doc, so itd be fun to put all of the docs on the loading screen. Thats it and thats all .
  • The Doctor's arm lines up with the little power shot that IM35 once fired and Hulk is also green. I think it is mostly aesthetic.

    I thought he was there to celebrate icon_falcon.png becoming the new Captain America.

    And, yes, there is only Doom on Steam.

    Nonce, what is the meaning of the wall of symbols in your post?

    These are the characters that use each color. There needs to be a : nobody : icon as a spacer. Due to the icon size disparity, using tutile.png works better for readability than using a blank.

    I tried making some adjustments.
  • Got ya. So those Iso-8 Brotherhood guys are nobodies. Makes sense. Otherwise they wouldn't be Osborn's test subjects icon_e_geek.gif

    Also, can't remember if Peter Parker had a doctorate or not. I'm thinking he did, but can't remember.

    Parker did not earn his doctorate; this was a great outrage to Doc Ock when he took over Parker's body and people wouldn't call him Doctor.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that. Ah well, as much as I love Spidey and the Avengers, the X-men will always be my mostest favoritest of all them there comic heros. So my Spidey knowledge is not as great as I'd like it be.

    Doctor Doom
    Doctor Octopus
    Doctor Bruce Banner

    Deliberate, yes. Hidden meaning, not so much.
  • IIRC, Doom got kicked out of college so he never gets his doctorate actually.. And *Spoiler Alert* Peter Parker did become a doctor.. Only after doc Ock took his body and made him finish college icon_e_biggrin.gif
