I'm not sure I ever needed to see that in a comic.

Doom managed to throw the cup so hard that the guy flipped upside down. And made the table evaporate.

You will note that there is no visible table in any of those panels.

I just realized that Doom is actually drinking through his mask. I would think that it would be easier to use a straw if there is a mask between the cup and your mouth, but then that is probably how Doom rolls.

This is a man who doesn't use doors do you really think he's going to use something as pedestrian as a straw?

Okay maybe if it was powered by the cosmic cube he might, but only then.

How you going to drink that, Vader? It's a nice touch though, the original Star Wars adaptation has some fun stuff. Like Jabba the Hutt before he had an actual character design.

That isn't a cup Doom is using. That's a chalice, a gem encrusted chalice. Cups are for lesser beings.

More interesting than the cyber-straw is the "Robot Hillbilly Teeth" version of Doom's mask.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
He built the straw into the cup. That is all kinds of amazing.

What's the current canon on the status of Doctor Doom's face, anyway? Is he Kirby style single, tiny, scar, or is he actually horribly scarred, or did his tiny scar get turned into horrible burns when he welded a mask to his face? I need to know.

When I was a kid I had a bright orange Uzi water pistol that made those brap-brap-brap noises. Always wondered what the mechanism was, I never smashed it apart to find out.

I took one apart that had a spinning piece of metal that intermittently scraped against a rock of some kind.

I've always loved that original, Kirby idea of him just having this really tiny, barely noticable scar. It fits the character so well. Never liked the semi-retcon of him burning his face when he first put on the mask.
