    There are 2 possible explanations in universe. There was. Story where Dr doom and iron man swapped bodies, and a story where Iron man turns evil, the first is more likely. Probably crosses over to that universe and that Dr doom escapes. Or something.

    Or it’s nothing that deep and in universe Dr doom just looks a lot like Tony stark for some reason.
