"Wilson. The one who chose to carry the shield rather than inherit it. Doom finds this distinction significant. Rogers was a product of a programme. Wilson made a decision. Doom respects decisions.

He flies. He fights. He gives speeches about hope that Doom finds simultaneously naive and structurally sound. This is more than Doom expected.

The wings are a practical touch. Doom approves of mobility. The shield remains philosophically problematic — but in Wilson's hands, it is at least wielded with intent.

Add him to your shelf. He earned the title. Doom does not say this lightly."

— Victor Von Doom, Monarch of Latveria, Rightful Ruler of All He Surveys
