How to Make Your Own Dr Doom Mask
Doctor Doom or Victor von Doom is a fictional comic book super villain that first appeared in the comic Fantastic
Four issue number 5. He also appears in other comics published by Marvel. He is the main archenemy of the Fantastic
Four and is most famous for his mask. Doctor Doom became a super villain in an attempt to avenge his mother's
death. After mastering the secrets of the occult, he created a suit of armour and a mask for himself. He always
wears his mask in all of his appearances and while other illustrators have made their own interpretation of what he
would like without his mask, he is not considered Doctor Doom without it. The Dr Doom mask is popular with fans of
the Fantastic Four series.
The Dr Doom mask can be worn during Halloween, costume parties and comic conventions. You can find premade ones in
costume stores and novelty shops but you can also make one yourself. Making your own replica of Dr Doom's mask can
be easy as the mask has a solid silver colour. Buying a Dr Doom mask can be a bit costly when you can make one for
a much cheaper price as all you have to do is buy the materials and let your creative side take over.
If you want affordable materials you can use cardboards that come in different colours in sizes. The ideal card
size to use for Dr Doom's mask is A4. Buy three A4 sized cars, one in silver, one in black and one in grey. You
will also need strings and a masking tape or a duct tape. You may want to opt for the latter, as it is already
silver so you don't have to paint over it anymore.
As for making the Dr Doom mask, you can download a template online. There are a lot of mask templates available on
the internet and with Dr Doom's popularity, you are sure to find one. All you have to do is save it on your
computer and then print it out. Cut out the part for the eye holes and as well as the pattern of the mask, use your
A4 cards for this. The next step is to attach the parts of the face on your main pattern and then glue silver rings
around the eyes. Use the black cardboard for extra detail especially on the part where the cheekbones should be.
This process should be very easy as you already have a template all you have to do is take care of the details to
make it more realistic.
Dr Doom is one of the most popular super villain's in the Marvel universe. If you are fan of Doctor Doom then don't
miss out on the chance of getting a mask like his. Even if you are not that much of a fan of the character, you
have to admit the Dr Doom mask is pretty cool to have around for Halloween parties. It doesn't take that much
effort or money to make.
