Oh no, President Generic has just been kidnapped by Dr. Doom! You know President Generic; he's the white, grey-haired guy who's always President of the United States in movies and TV shows. (Unless of course the story is set in the future, in which case he's usually black. Ha ha! Like that'll ever happen.) Oh, and this is probably a good place to point out that Doctor Doom prefers that people not abbreviate his title. I would imagine that the responsible parties have all been executed, probably by his gay-ass fuchsia robots. Seriously Doom, you're such a homo.

So anyway, Doc D uses some gizmo to take control of the President's brain, I assume so he can use him to help pass pro-Doctor Doom legislature. (For those of you who don't read comic books, Doctor Doom is king of his own country, so this isn't as dumb as it might sound.) Eventually Doom manages to brainwash every member of the United Nations, at which point he has them elect him World Leader! I'm pretty sure they can't actually do that, but no matter what the UN comes up with it usually turns out that they can't actually do that, so I'm not surprised that this doesn't bother them very much. Of course Spider-Man manages to stop him in the end, but I have to say, this was actually one of Doctor Doom's better schemes. I wish real-life international relations were half as interesting. For real, can you imagine FOX News covering this story? Ten to one they'd give it a pro-Doctor Doom slant.
