Doctor Doom's long-running plot to take over the world began coming into focus during the events of Marvel Comics' Blood Hunt. This crossover event saw the skies all across the globe plunged into darkness as part of an attempted vampiric takeover led by Blade who, at the time, was possessed by the spirit of the very first vampire, Varnae. Although the Blood Hunt itself would eventually come to an end, it was only after Doctor Strange relinquished his mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to Doctor Doom that the skies were parted and humanity was given a proper fighting chance.
In the wake of the Blood Hunt, Doctor Doom sealed himself and his kingdom of Latveria away behind mystic shields for months on end. This drew the attention of heroes such as the Fantastic Four, who made it their mission to discover exactly what their old nemesis was planning. In a devastating turn, this insistence on getting to the bottom of Doom's schemes and their relentless search for answers ended up playing right into their adversary's hands, as it was the Fantastic Four who ultimately delivered unto Doom the Fated Blade that was the last necessary piece for him to carry out his plan.

Peter Parker has just been given his shot at redemption in the Eight Deaths of Spider-Man, and his new look proves how far he'll go to win it.
Since then, Doctor Doom has declared himself the absolute ruler of the entire world. Though he has stated that he will allow various nations to continue to operate independently, he has decreed by threat of overwhelming force several global laws which have created no small amount of international tension. Apart from the obvious concerns, Doom's efforts have put a spotlight on niche issues such as the recent transformation of Genosha into a high-tech dystopia, which could provide the world's would-be dictator a whole new edge over the populace should he set his sights on them.
