Castle Doom

Castle Doom is a fictional location appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Doom makes his home in Castle Doom, a high 110 room castle built in the 16th century by the Latverian nobleman Count Sabbat. It first appeared in Fantastic Four no.5.

The castle overlooks the Latverian capital of Doomstadt (formerly Hassenstadt). Doom has lived in the castle since usurping the throne from King Vladimir, save for the brief periods when the throne was usurped from him by Prince Zorba or Doom's own "heir," Kristoff. Doom destroyed the castle to quell a rebellion led by the exiled Prince Rudolpho. The rebuilt castle's general out structure remained the same, but current technology was integrated into the castle's structure in accordance to Doom's specifications.

The exterior walls of Castle Doom are constructed of reinforced stone, and the tower roofs are also reinforced. Moments after an attack is detected, force screens spring up around the exterior walls. Interior walls are also made of stone and reinforced, and all interior doors are made of wood reinforced with steel. Doom's above-ground laboratories are supplemented with energy screens that can reflect attacks back onto its point of origin.

Guards are posted along the exterior walls at all times. Standard shifts include six Doom-Knights on the higher towers, six Warrior Robots patrolling the lower parapets, four human Latverian Guardsmen watching the front gate and main entrance, and a minimum of three Guardian Robots patrolling the woods around the base of Castle Doom. Built into the castle are a number of deterrents, including stunners, shock fields on the walls, doors and windows, and gas emitters that can fill a room with knock-out gas or an exceedingly lethal poison gas. If Doom feels these measures are not extreme enough, he will employ excessive measures such as his Rainbow Missiles or Vortex Machines. The weakest defensive point of Castle Doom are the docks that open out to the Klyne River—this entrance is only staffed by two human Latverian Guardsmen and four to six Warrior Robots.
