Warning: Contains spoilers for Venom #24!Doctor Doom has put his own dark spin on a classic science fiction trope first created by legendary writer Isaac Asimov.

In Venom #24, Eddie Brock pays a call on the Latverian monarch, but before he can get to Doom, he must run a gauntlet of killer Doombots. During the battle, readers learn that Doctor Doom has programmed the Doombots with a twisted variation of a pillar of the science fiction genre.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Venom #24 is written by Al Ewing, drawn by Sergio Davila, inked by Sean Parson, colored by Frank D’Armata and lettered by Clayton Cowles. Eddie Brock is at Latveria’s international airport, where Doombots stand in for customs agents. A Doombot asks Eddie, who is traveling under an assumed name, if he has anything to declare. Eddie replies he does not, and the Doombot then asks him to put his baggage on the x-ray machine.

How Air-Tight Are Doctor Doom's Laws? Since his earliest days, Doctor Doom has relied on his army of Doombots to carry out his will. Sometimes, the Doombots actually stand in for Doom and other times they serve as his soldiers, as seen in Venom #24. There have been instances where a Doombot seems to develop a mind of their own, which may have led to Doom adopting a dark version of Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.

Doctor Doom’s appropriation of Asimov’s Laws of Robotics is also a testament to his arrogance and ego. Asimov’s Laws have become staple of the science fiction genre, and Doom took them, perverting them to his own ends. In a move of pure hubris, he rechristened them “The Laws of Doombotics.” While the issue did not reveal what the other Laws were, they can all be assumed to revolve around Doctor Doom.
