Doom as a character is singlehandedly one of my favourite villains, because at his core he is so not a villain.
Like magneto, he is a man doing what he thinks is what is for the greater good for himself and his country, his methods can just be villainous and often times ruthless.
At his heart, he is a man that can ally with you, as long as your needs are aligned.

Doom has some of the single most iconic design elements of all comic characters, so I really wanted to keep it.
I just hate the medieval armour look to him, cause it's extremely campy and dated.
I wanted to keep the sort of medieval vibe, but make him far less clunky and more regal.

This is very cool and also along the lines of what I was also trying to do. I love Doom very much would love to see his look change. Especially considering how much he uses new technology and the dark arts, You would think he would be constantly upgrading and changing his armor the way Iron Man is always changing his.

Perhaps the best redesign of the character I've ever seen.

I see him more as a phantom of the opera type of character

Well... his political actions you're right on, but when it comes to his attitude towards superheroes, specifically Reed, he's not quite as swell. And that's where the real villainy of his character is; he wants to make life a living hell for superheroes, and again Reed especially. Why? Because he had to go through trials upon trials to get to where he is, while superheroes got their powers handed to them on a silver platter. So he responds by making sure they go through what he had to go through.

I have to imagine that despite the fact he hates Reed with all his being, that he's probably developed a grudging respect for him.
