>>104513571It also introduced the "explanation" for how minor villains can afford their advanced tech yet rob banks, which doesn't make much money. Apparently, Doom was funding them and giving them tech through the Tinkerer.
Of course, this creates a bunch of plot holes, like why these same villains are still active even at times when Doom is dead/reformed/inactive. Or why Doom even bothers doing this in the first place. Or how this makes sense since we actually saw a lot of these villains (like the Wizard or the Vulture) create their own tech with no Doom involved.
