Victor in, von DOOM but exclusive to the face, call me MetalFace. 'Bout the lore floating 'bout Zev Love X's years in the underground, its all lore so MetalFace will speak law like: My Colossus of Rhodes fell in April and the May Helios has never been the same again. Or the June, or the following May. Always the same, a brilliant ball of grief that pierced my soul and when Daredevil #168 assassinated me, even my nights became an ordeal, a chill heat even as I froze with burning rage.
Torture during the day and night had your boy retreating underground where the sun and moon never reach to Fyodor for a minute, maybe sixty twelve-months or thirty six hundred yesterdays. Will I wake up tomorrow? Do I want to?
Slept, was it of death?
Life bloomed in my eyes, I'm in a cave of shades. Half death staring into wretched life, can it slay the divine? They are dwarfs, they know who I am and attracted by my rage, they seek its white heat to burn a flame divine but pure rage alone will not suffice for the divine are beyond might of arms. Only words can cut them and so began the teachings of the dwarfs of Khazad-dûm and the disciple learnt. Learnt the art of wordsmithing till he could turn rocks into gems with mere raps and till his rage was so focused, it was akin to a sword that could cut a flame.
Graduated, I descended even deeper underground to meet my foe. He was flame made form and our fight—nay—our logomachy, was fiery, fierce, finally felled the flame. Sole spoils was the 'Mighty Flame' name.
Returned back to find no dwarfs, only the armour they promised to smith and the face they promised to give that would shield me from the brilliant light of grief in exchange for victory was in sight. Wore it and felt like a new man, new name, Zev Love X dead, 'Mighty Flame' late. Remedied it, greetings to the sun once more, I'm armored from grief, bitch.
Mighty Flame who took the dûm from Khazad-dûm to honor the dwarfs and the armour they made him began planning his first operation back above ground. It would be named Doomsday and him, the world would know Mighty Flame Dûm as MF DOOM. Metalface out.
