All that to say, Doom is lucky that he’s joining the MCU when he is. After all, just a handful of years ago, the original Avengers were still protecting the Earth. They took on every Big Bad the MCU threw at them and made them look like fools. However, Doom is another story entirely. Here’s how all six of the original Avengers would stack up against Doom.
6) Black Widow
Natasha Romanoff doesn’t get the credit she deserves. Despite having no powers, she never backs down from a fight, even when she’s up against killer robots and aliens. Her quick thinking and agility make her a formidable force on the battlefield, and she’s equally as effective in the strategy room, helping coordinate the Avengers’ efforts after the Snap. Of course, Doom’s magic and mind would be too much for her alone to handle, but she wouldn’t go down easily.
5) Hawkeye
Like his best friend, Natasha, Clint Barton can’t lift a truck or fly. However, his aim is as good as anyone in the multiverse’s, which makes him pretty useful in a fight. The God of Mischief, Loki, learns that the hard way when he ends up on the wrong end of an arrow in The Avengers. Doom won’t fall for the same tricks, though, especially if he has magic at his side. The best that Clint can hope for is that his disdain for Tony Stark keeps him alive for a while because his new enemy looks just like him.
4) Captain America
Steve Rogers fights Loki, Ultron, and Thanos one-on-one and lives to tell the tale; very few heroes can claim those feats on their résumé. What sets Steve apart is that he doesn’t stand for injustice, no matter what form it takes. But there are some battles that not even the original Captain America is ready for. Steve is going to appear in Doomsday and likely get in the ring with Doom, but he’s unlikely to go the distance. He’s better off giving a couple of his old friends a shot.
