What separates Doom from Luthor is that the latter is just some fool with an obsession, while the former is a man with a plan for humanity.
Luthor will gladly ignore all other threats to the world, or even outright sacrifice mankind to bring an end to Superman.
Doom confronts all threats, and is even willing to step aside to let others -even his personal nemesis- take the spotlight and the glory when the task is within their abilities.
Doom does not risk the life of humanity's savior for the sake of fool's errands, regardless of how much adoration it might earn. Doom needs none other than Doom.
Doom is the one who will save us all, for Doom is the only one who cares about continuation of mankind, while still possessing the necessary foresight and will to make the hard decisions, to lead us when all others have fallen and failed.
