This level of magical mastery is a brand-new feat that not even Doctor Strange has pulled off before.

At the moment, there isn’t much evidence as to what Doom has planned for his new attempt at world peace. Since his ascension, Latveria has been sealed off from the world with a power spell that manifests as an impenetrable metal dome. Meanwhile,Reed Richards and the Fantastic Fourrefuse to let Doom be and have decided that they must investigate Latveria closer. However, when Reed’s curiosity pulled his team too close to the magical dome,the Fantastic Four were instantly teleported to an unknown alien world on the other side of the galaxy.

This level of magical mastery is a brand-new feat thatnot even Doctor Strange has pulled offbefore. Casually maintaining multiple magical barriers is old hat for the Sorcerer Supreme, but to instantly teleport people across the far reaches of the galaxy is a new level of magical mastery. Yes, it is a relatively common skill among powerful magic users to open portals to other locations and realms, but to have effortlessly built-in an enchantment to do so, especially one solely designed as a casual security measure, is a master stroke onlyDoctor Doomis capable of achieving.
