That is a genuine shocker! I had no idea he looked like that (I assumed he looked like the Mole Man or some other hideous Jack Kirby villain).

That really improves the story tremendously.

Huh! How about that? You learn something new every day.

Actually.... well, according to Stan Lee, Doom's face was horribly mutilated in the lab accident that happened when young Doom refused to accept Reed Richard's advice. But according to Jack Kirby, Doom has a handsome face with a single scar(like a duelling scar) on one cheek; He hides it because, although not disfiguring, the scar is a reminder of his greatest FAILURE (being wrong when THE ACCURSED RICHARDS was right).
Later Marvel writers have COMBINED the two ideas; Doom's INITIAL scar was minor, but Doom's eagerness to hide it made him put the mask on before it was ready, which caused a larger, more hideous scar.
