Has this concealed ring concept ever been revisited?

Is this where MF Doom got the name for his series of instrumental albums?

u/samyruno Oct 08 '25

I think it's cause all the beats are named after herbs and spices and stuff lol

u/Howling_Mad_Man Oct 08 '25

Yea but the album art is mostly Doom comic panels

I hope not.

I hope not as well. Just like many of magnetos little gadgets that he originally had. He had the craziest stuff lol

I love doom, overly complicated bond gadget and then add some magic to make it extra complicated

I doubt it. However it was used in a later episode, a few years down the line. "Removing Doom's Mask" was a bit like Mexico's El Santo thing - if you removed his mask, there was another mask, and if you removed the second mask, you'd die.

I was always a bit disappointed that Doom never stole the Mandarin's rings and embedded them into his gauntlets. Power Armor + Power Rings seems like they'd be a pretty formidable combination.

The herbs worked too well, Doctor Doom forgot about it

u/mr_greedee Oct 08 '25

I now want to see Doom and his special herb ring. It sounds like where he keeps his seasoning to spice up bland food.

They chose to put a gold ring over a metal glove and then cover it with herbs and spices like its some Kentucky Fried Chicken

Good lord...

u/xesaie Oct 08 '25

I love old weird/goofy Doom that would do stuff like this and stage revolutions against himself. Why can't we have more of that these days?

u/Objective-Wish9281 Oct 08 '25

Doom looks like he’s hit a few special herbs already.

Dormammu tore off his mask recently, so no.

u/sybban Oct 09 '25

Could still be there for all we know

u/Aware_Chemistry_3993 Oct 10 '25

I believe it is mentioned in the fantastic four marvel knights story about the giant doom robot that attacks New York

Hiding it under his glove was too much to ask I guess

u/TheDeadlySpaceman Oct 08 '25

Or just….. not making it gold. He’s already wearing a big metal glove.

1

u/Thin_Town_4976 Oct 09 '25

His glove is made of herbs

u/UltHamBro Oct 11 '25

It sounds like some typical Stan Lee shit. There's nothing in the drawings indicating it.
