Marvel has given Doctor Doom a striking new nickname, "Captain Latveria," coined by Spider-Man Miles Morales in a preview for the upcoming comic Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #1. The moment plays on Doom's contradictory position, blending his role as ruthless ruler of Latveria with a Captain America-style title, and lands just as the villain is set for his biggest year yet with Robert Downey Jr. preparing to portray him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the preview, Miles Morales greets Doom with the line "Captain Latveria," before adding "Avengers of Doom… ASSEMBLE!", making the Captain America parallel explicit. Marvel has a long history of giving major characters temporary or lasting nicknames, and while it is unclear whether this one will stick beyond the single storyline, its timing alongside Doom's growing MCU prominence has drawn particular attention.
