What if Tony Stark was Dr. Doom?

I don’t read many comics these days, but this upcoming Marvel What If? may be one to grab. Tony Stark swaps places with Doom, and the leaked cover image makes me think this is gonna be a fun ride. The question is, when do we see customs of this character popping up online? I’m sure it won’t take too long. And maybe we’ll even get an official release; a Marvel Universe figure of this design would be fantastic.

Would Tony Stark still be Iron Man…if he wasn’t Tony Stark? Twenty years ago, in a college experiment gone bad, the young Stark’s mind is transferred to the body of impoverished but brilliant fellow student, Victor von Doom! Blamed for the unsanctioned research, his memory wiped clean, Tony is deported and forced to face life as a disgraced Latverian commoner. Meanwhile, von Doom grows and flourishes in the wealth and privilege of being sole heir to Stark Industries. Thus, in separate cauldrons on different sides of the world, both Iron Man and Dr. Doom are forged anew. But who are the men inside the armors…really?
