Biography
The Doomsman was a creation of Doctor Doom who sought to build a powerful machine to serve him better than any organic being. (Astonishing Tales v1 #1)
The Doomsman woke up and easily released himself where he left by demolishing a wall. He found Fortunov's soldiers and started a fight with them. Although the soldiers had advanced weaponry, the Doomsman swept them away easily. The Doomsman, uninterested in the battle, then escaped Castle Doom, smashing more walls in the process. Doom won the battle against Fortunov, but he was puzzled that the Doomsman had shown no intention to help him. (Astonishing Tales v1 #1)
He ordered his army to track both the Doomsman and any fugitive rebel. Fortunov's secret ally, the alien Faceless One, also noticed the Doomsman and tracked him using his own alien technology. The Doomsman escaped Latveria through the Eastern born. He was intercepted by tank-mounted guards, but the Doomsman withstood the guard's shots and destroyed the tank simply by charging on it. Jet fighters and rifle-wielding soldiers were unable to stop the Doomsman. The Faceless One witnessed the Doomsman's power and decided that he could be a powerful ally, as he reported to Fortunov. The Faceless One then went to the Doomsman using his spherical vehicle and recruited him. Fortunov then staged a second raid to Doom's castle. During the battle, the Faceless One entered the castle and took Fredonia hostage to confront Doom. While they battled each other, the Faceless One summoned Doomsman, who appeared breaking a wall with his punches. The Faceless One ordered the Doomsman to attack Doom - and the Doomsman hesitated.
