Super-Villain Team-Up

Most of the series starred Dr. Doom teaming up with Namor, the Sub-Mariner, whom the Latverian monarch had bent to his service with promises of assistance for ailing Atlantean people. Von Doom's schemes brought him into conflict with several of Namor's foes, including the Tiger Shark and Attuma, but the Avengers, Circus of Crime, the debut of the Shroud, and the Red Skull also appeared to complicate Von Doom's megalomaniac plans for world domination. In later issues of the series, Von Doom and Magneto became embroiled in a bitter rivalry that led both into conflict with both the Avengers and the Champions of Los Angeles. The last issues of the series focused on the Red Skull's efforts to recreate the Cosmic Cube with the help of the original Hate-Monger and Arnim Zola.
