In Fantastic Four: The World’s Greatest Magazine Magazine (2001), by a massive creative team including Erik Larsen, Eric Stephenson, Bruce Timm, Joe Sinnott, Ron Frenz and more, Doctor Doom obtains the Cosmic Cube (home of the space stone), the Sacred Helix of Randac (which powers the Inhumans Terrigen chambers), the Ultimate Machine (infinite knowledge of the universe) and Annihilus’ Cosmic Control Rod (allowing him to manipulate all the items) and immediately launches an attack at Galactus in the name of obtaining his power....
