Doom finds his consciousness inside the body of someone with no power, no standing and without anything beyond what this poor orphaned boy can scrounge on his own... ...which is to say, Doom finds his consciousness within his CHILDHOOD SELF. But now, with the knowledge of what is to come, Doom has a chance to do things differently - and BETTER. He can make different choices - win different battles. Rather than travel an ocean to study - in America, where he would meet his hated rival, Reed Richards, and become disfigured... ...he can stay in his home country, with his first and only love: a beautiful and clever young Latverian woman named Valeria. It's a journey to the center of Victor Von Doom himself as he discovers how wildly differently his life could've gone...and the price he must pay to keep such victories!
