There are just some things that legends cannot capture entirely and that is figures with a softgoods look. I'm really considering getting this eventhough most of my collection is from the legend line. Personally, I prefer Doom to only be lightly scarred because I think it fits Doom's personality better, but considering the fact that even Marvel can't keep this shit consistent, I think both interpretations are equally valid. But Doom had stolen the powers of The Beyonders at this point and shaped reality to how he saw fit, so the question then became whether Doom was actually hideously scarred, or did his reality-warping powers only subconsciously make him appear to be hideously scarred because that's how he perceives himself? Then Secret Wars (2015) muddied the waters even more when it showed us Doom's face and he was hideously scarred. This seemed like a pretty fair compromise, but even THIS explanation has been retconned. The explanation that lasted the longest was that Doom was ORIGINALLY lightly scarred, couldn't deal with the scar due to his narcissism, then ended up hideously scarring himself when he donned his armor for the first time due to the metal still being boiling hot.

Doom has been drawn both hideously scarred and only lightly scarred (à la Jack Kirby's artwork ) in canon throughout his publication history, and sometimes there's no explanation for why it goes back and forth. Case in point: Marvel has gone back and forth on whether or not Scarlet With and Quicksilver are really Magneto's children 4 times in the last 20 years lolĭr.

Marvel retcons shit all the time, and they retcon those retcons almost as often lol.
