Theory Briefing
- Doctor Doom's rumored plan to target heroes' kids is supported by his Fantastic Four post-credits scene appearance with Franklin Richards.
- Morgan Stark's unexplained absence from Doomsday is the theory's biggest weakness — Doom ignoring Iron Man's daughter strains credibility.
- Marvel's deliberate marketing blackout may be hiding Morgan's return, but the omission risks undermining the emotional logic of the whole villain plan.
