Victor von Doom; Cynthia von Doom

Part 13 of my sigil project, where I design emblems, sigils, seals and runes for my favorite Marvel magic characters. I finally got around to the von Doom family!

Doctor Doom’s late mother, Cynthia, was a witch who used her powers to protect her family and community. Cynthia kept all of her magical tools and texts in a chest, which Victor inherited after her death. Although Victor’s magical expertise has far exceeded his mother’s witchcraft, his origins as a sorcerer lie in that ancestral practice.

This design is based on two things: the Latverian flag under Doom’s rulership, which mimics the shape of his mask; and a “w”-shaped emblem that has appeared on Cynthia’s chest, and a number of Victor’s other belongings, in various comics. It’s a bit simple, but I like that it mirrors the “m” shape of the Maximoffcrest.

As always, for witch characters, I created the name-sigils by compositing letters in the Theban alphabet. I’m particularly pleased with the swoopey line on Cynthia’s :)
