The cloaked figure visiting Franklin Richards was widely accepted as Doctor Doom. Alongside Doom's armor was a display labeled "Latverian Witch," and that's when a new theory started spreading. Some fans began wondering if the figure from First Steps wasn't Doctor Doom after all, but this mysterious witch instead. They're noticing that the mask seen in Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn't match the finished Doctor Doom helmet Marvel revealed at Comic-Con. Everyone walked out of Fantastic Four: First Steps believing they had just seen Doctor Doom because that's exactly what Marvel intended us to think.
