It's not just that Doom watches Meme Trek like he'e Mike Stoklasa or something, but also that apparently Peter is a try-hard fake sci fi geek.

You don't have to watch/like everything to be a nerd. I'm a nerd by most conceivable metrics and I have no deeper knowledge of Star Trek or Lord of the Rings. I always thought Spock was the medic, for instance.

Damnit Jim!

Yeah, but do you go around trying to make Star Trek references?
I'm not saying Peter needs to know Star Trek lore, but him attempting and failing to make a reference is just weird. Like, why is he trying to look like he watched TOS when he actually didn't? Is he trying to look cool? Does he think it's cool? If so, why not just watch it?

I like to think there was a brief period in Dooms life where he would have been a normal human being. That time being between when he started college and when he had his accident.

Oh, I get what you're saying then. Either way, Doom isn't the Trek type. Between the two major Star franchises, he'd be a hardcore Sith edgefag. And that's a best case scenario where he concerns himself with mass-produced nonsense media.
Spent in the Balkans user. It's more likely that he caught Star Wars and based himself on Vader (yeah yeah, I know, we're talking in-universe here). Or that he came across an old Superman issue and rooted for Luthor.

how come Data's name is Data, if Data is plural and he is just one android?
Shouldn't his name be Datum?
anyway, Mr. Data, set a course for Earth. Maximum Warp

You don't think doom would like the subtle implications that the federation is only a utopia because of its a military dominance in the sector?

Nothing's implied by it except that Doom has working knowledge of Star Trek. And then I think the very next panel outright states it. That's not jarring at all.

How about the panel after that when Peter calls him sniktbub?

What about it?

It's funny and I like it.
Just enough leaning on the fourth wall.

Ok.

People absorb references by osmosis.

Star Trek is a classic of television programming, it's not strange at all that Doom would have watched it, and if he watched it his memory's good enough to have retained important details.

And then he wonders why other heroes hate him.

What a faggot.

Thought that was Batman for a second

There was an old issue of amazing that had pete going to see the first movie so he was a fan historically

hey lois remember that time wolverine and batman were amalgamated

Fun fact dark claw appeared in a wolverine power pack crossover comic

No, because you’re need to invest time in Trek to know that (isn’t that part of those books spinned off from DS9 or something?). And Doom wouldn’t waste time on trivial nonsense. I can buy him watching that 5 hour silent Napoleon film more than I can buy him being a Trekkie.

You can get subtle hints of that in TOS and TNG and I can buy he watched TOS a bit as a kid

He's intentionally playing dumb to annoy everyone and/or ruse DOOM into admitting he's a trek fan. Pete is suposed to be annoying, this is in character.

>I always thought Spock was the medic, for instance.
That's because there's once quite famous pediatrician named Dr. Spock. Probably no man altered the way children were raised in the past century more than him.

It’s the Balkans user, and with the sliding timescale anytime from the 60s to the 2000s. I hardly think it’d have been broadcasted enough for him to have any knowledge past “Kirk and Spock travel on a spaceship”. TNG? Jesus user, he’s an obsessive supergenius, he doesn’t sit around watching tv shows.

If he was a kid in the early 80s it was on reruns in most places, I don’t think it would be THAT weird if a nerd like him would know about a show like that

...Doom’s not Parker or Stark user. He’s an autist obsessed with being as “Patrician” as he can be. As a kid he’d have tried to read Dosto and Plato’s Republic. At best he’d have been into Mythology and Fairy Tales as a toddler with the odd superhero here and there. Reading an old Conan book is more likely. Like I said, having some basic knowledge of Star Trek through cultural osmosis isn’t far-fetched, but he’s not a nerd or whatever to have a favorite comic book or visual or whatever. If he has free time that he wishes not to spent painting/sculpting/writing/composing, he’ll read a book or at least watch some good film. Not every character behaves the same way. If we’re that desperate to assign some basic, humanizing everyday trait to him, it’s possible that he watched Star Wars and liked Vader, as I’ve said before. Bigger impact, closer to his character and more widespread in the general population and the globe.

Knowing about stuff does not mean you obsess about it.
