Doctor Victor von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) is about to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>, first in “Avengers: Doomsday,” then “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Marvel readers familiar with “Secret Wars” may expect him to bring another bad guy with him: Owen Reece, the Molecule Man.<\/p>\n

Molecule Man isn’t an A-list villain like Doom, Magneto, or Thanos. His control over molecules means he might outmatch them, though, since almost everything<\/em> is made of molecules. (Molecule Man originally channeled his powers with a wand, but that wizard-like practice has been mostly forgotten.)<\/p>\n

1963’s “Fantastic Four” #20 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced Molecule Man. He was an anonymous factory worker granted his godlike powers in a nuclear accident. The story contrasts how insignificant he was before with how dangerous he becomes\u00a0\u2014\u00a0so<\/em> dangerous that Uatu the Watcher breaks his vow of nonintervention<\/a> to help the Four.<\/p>\n
