This will be fun, I'll start.
In the last thread, I forgot to include this panel from Doomwar #6 before the time was up, where Shuri, the Dora Mijale, and the F4 arrive near Doom's castle and Shuri challenges him to a final battle. Doom obliges, and when the Broker informs him that it's a trap, Doom responds:
Of course it is, but one set by rabbits to catch a tiger. I tire of games, it's time to clear the board.

In Thor Vol. 6 (2020) #30, we see a beetle near Thor and Runa fly away from where they are in Niffleheim, and at the end of the issue we see that it has flown all the way back to the master who's enchanted it in order to give its master information about Thor's travels. That master, waiting for the bug and remarking "at last" upon receiving its message...is Doctor Doom.
The following issue sees Doom talking with an unknown person, casually mentioning the death of a random human man in a fire and noting that humanity is always "indifferent to Armageddon". He then turns to said person, who turns out to be Hela, the Norse Goddess of Death, who he has imprisoned. He asks her if, when the Gods and Mortals die and Hela fulfills her role of collecting their spirits, are they upset? Do they blame mortals for their lack of resolve? Hela, remaining defiant, remarks that Doom himself is still just a mortal. Doom notes that she may be right...before casually burning the bottled soul of the human man he'd mentioned earlier over a fire, while noting that he himself does not lack for resolve.

From Thor Vol. 6 (2020) #32: Doctor Doom continues talking with the imprisoned Hela, this time about how humans claim to be independent thinkers that think freely due to their sapience, only to enslave themselves to various algorithms, be they societal norms or religions. When Hela remains defiant, Doom casually threatens to burn the soul of Karnilla, her wife, to make her talk. It works.
An unknown amount of time later, Doom is shown using the information coerced from Hela to conduct a spell, continuing it even as Hela questions his goals. When she asks if he wishes to become a God, he replies:
I do not need worship. I am Doom. Doom does not need to be a God.
Instead, his goal is to remove all free will, for he believes that the gods only gave mankind free will so that man would worship them, calling it "the most selfish mistake in history". When Hela snaps back that he still wants the power of a god, he responds that he wants that power only to save mankind. For he will sacrifice the dead to save the living, and succeed where Bor failed.

Next up we have Thor Vol. 6 (2020) #33, which opens by talking about magic and stating that Doom knows all magic comes with a cost yet he still continues with his magic rituals, for recreating the world comes at a heavy price. As he continues his spells, we see that his mind-controlled servants are literally burning up souls to turn into fuel, and the narration points out that it could be argued that he is no different from generals or kings sacrificing the lives of others to further their goals. When a horrified Hela tries getting him to stop by pointing out that the Asgardians are coming for him, he calmly disagrees. After all, Bor's vault is now unlocked. The world will change. It is only a matter of time.
When Thor tries stopping him, Doom speaks to Thor through a Doombot as he first has his mind-controlled servants fire on Thor, and when this fails he simply calls Thor a celebrity and a hero instead of a God, before ordering his servants to run off a cliff to their deaths with one order: "Run".
Telling Thor to save them if he's such a hero, Doom states that he takes no pleasure in risking the lives of so many, and that he hopes Thor proves his calculations wrong by saving them.
When Thor decides that the best way to stop them from dying is to attack Doom himself, calling Doom a coward, Doom simply notes that Thor's inaction proves him the real coward, before taking advantage of Thor being distracted to flee.

In the following issue, we get a flashback showing how Doom ended up defeating Hela. We see Doom hovering in the air, arms crossed as he quietly watches Nidhogg, a massive dragon who Doom turned into a cyborg, overpower Hela's army. When Hela remarks that she refuses to lose everything to a man, he responds: "Not a man, Hela. Doom."
Later, after travelling through time while thinking about one of Hela's remarks, he comes across Thanos about to kill an infant Hela as a sacrifice meant to invoke the end of all life in the universe. When Thanos remarks that he has no qualm with Doom, Doom simply responds that Thanos is the lucky one in that regard. He then states that Thanos' desire to wipe out all life in the universe through murdering Hela, especially when Thanos has the power of all creation, the very essence of life, in his hands, "speaks to a deficient imagination".
Thanos responds that humanity is incapable of saving itself, but Doom remarks that he himself can and will change humanity, and when Thanos still tries killing baby Hela, Doctor Doom immediately blocks the killing blow, even through the pain. He then takes Baby Hela in his arms to protect her as Thor and Thanos fight, and when a defeated Thanos drags Doom with him into the time portal, Doom saves Baby Hela by tossing her away from the time portal as he mocks Thanos for not knowing the baby's identity:
"Your ignorance is remarkable, Thanos."

Also want to bring up this old gem, where after a captured Purple Man says that he should rule that world and not Doom (calling Doom a mere manipulator reliant on tricks and gadgets), Doom calmly responds "No?" before bluntly telling his staff to leave. Upon them doing so, he enters Purple Man's cell and removes his mask, stating that he is "vulnerable" due to no longer being protected by the mask's mental shields. Immediately, Purple Man demands that Doom release him, or take a flying leap, or stand on his head, or even kill himself.
Nothing.
Stunned and terrified, Purple Man remarks that such a thing should be impossible when Doom is right in front of him and at point-blank range of his mind-control, with Doom's only response being a continued glare as the shadows hide his face yet highlight his dagger-like glare. Purple Man can only weakly mutter "No One..." as Doom responds with a question:
"Now, Zebediah Kilgrave...who deserves to rule?"
Nothing.

Pandora weapon delivers fireworks, treating these huge demons like bouncy balls. He fires a rocket which blasts them all into the air, flings a spinning blade through the crowd which comes back to him, shoots them with a machine gun, fires a barrage of target seeking missiles which zip around blasting the toads, and then he opens the case and the toads are apparently destroyed completely, no sign of them afterwards.
Gilgamesh weapon makes for awesome gloves and boots. Smashing the huge monolith with a one-inch punch and performing over the top martial arts moves. Launching the pieces of stone in the air, jumping up and kicking them in midair, stacking them on top and then karate chopping the whole pile taller than himself in half, all in two jumps. When he spins in the air the stones are bouncing of him, showing off his strength even further.
Lucifer weapon is world's coolest backpack. Bonus for so pointedly belittling a god. He destroys that wall, draws lots of weapons and flings them into the wall in a heart shape, spins around in midair flinging these blades, then poses nicely with a rose in his teeth and claps, detonating the blades and blasting the wall into a heart shape, then flinging the rose into the last blade to split the heart in two. Destroys a demonic item in a theatrical and showy fashion.
Trolls demon. Pretends to be lured in, drops to the ground casually to check out the view, then dodges the toad's attack without looking, casually jumps away and lands. Demon demands to know how he knew, and he remarks: "You can hide that body, but that smell? Phew! There's no covering up!" making it angry.
This giant demon yells "Insult me one more time and I will make you suffer more than you thought possible!", roaring load enough to blow Dante's coat upwards.
Dante pushes the coat back downwards and laughs, saying "I'd actually like to see you try that!". He's literally saying that to a giant toad demon.
Trolls another demon and kicks her seeds in a way that makes them bounce around each other and various objects and ultimately all fly into her face. Teases her and allows her to bite him only to force the giant mouth open and hop out. All with no signs of being bothered.
Totals demon gang; bonus for walking into a bar full of thugs and ordering a strawberry sundae. Takes the first guy down without looking, dodges the following up attack in a spinning dodge, tanks a demon biting him and shears it in half, stabs the bartender through the door without needing to see him. Turns his back and lets the demon lunge at him only to turn and blast the demon.
Wins a superhuman motorcycle race. Completely outdoes the biker in every regard, appears ahead of him during the time when the bikes turns his head, wins the race, saves the biker from himself and wins the fight for good measure. Awesome racing, outpaces the bike with nitrous oxide, destroys a bridge to stop the demon's sound hypnosis, accelerates his bike fast enough to heat up from friction and outruns the demon. Doesn't flinch when a whirring saw blade is in front of his face, beats this demon.
Schools a mad scientist at both of his own games: fancy talk and demonic power knowledge. Steps into that scientist's own scene and takes it over, literally upstages him and uses him as a background framing piece for himself, ridicules his entire experiment and worldview, wins the fight easily, has that scientist begging him for information, and shows such contempt as to not answer his questions. Shoots this guy after destroying his research notes, then takes a bow, references Shakespeare and shoots upwards to symbolise the fall of the curtain, the end of the scene.
Crowns a corporation-owning sorcerer the king of fools. Shoots him and sends him smashing through a thick stone wall.
Awesome entrance when he smashes through the glass roof, drops several metres from there onto the podium, lands smoothly, shoots a corrupt preacher in the face, and then stands up and turns to face the room with blood all over his face. The entire guard springs into action and attacks him, and he takes down the whole group of enemies in cool fashion. Blocks a slash from behind without looking and casually kicks the attacker flying, stabs a guy and spins him around, knocks the other guys over and flings the guy up to embed him in the ceiling. A guy attacks him from behind and Dante not only detects his attack coming but also strikes his swrd into the other guy's, sending him reeling away effortlessly. Tanks a kick to the face from Nero and then blocks two bullets from him, then lands on the statue, drops onto its hands and lands smoothly with his guns levelled at Nero. Whole fight scene with Nero is awesome, dodges all Nero's attacks early on, casually stands on a falling sword. Is trolling Nero the whole time. Strolls around with a sword in him, makes an awesome exit.
Ruler with a god complex and a skyscraper-sized mech doesn't get to look down at Dante, and Dante downs a large group of flying armoured enemies. Bonus for calling out Sanctus' superiority complex and his role as a corrupt preacher at once with his line "I didn't want you to get a creak in your neck from looking down at me.".
Saves Nero and returns his inheritance at the same time; Savior didn't like eating that. Dodges away from the huge hand an starts shooting midair. Shoots a bullet into the hilt of the Yamato while it is stuck in a moving target, then stacks another bullet on top of that bullet, then another on that one, then repeats the process another five times for a total of eight bullets stacked on top of each other on a sword hilt all shot from midair while the sword is stuck in a moving target. Bonus for being the cool uncle who lets his nephew finish his own battle.
Saves Trish in flashy fashion. Bonus for slashing the armour that much and not harming Trish. He catches her as she falls out, saves her, and takes her to a safe place. He jokes that he took in her outfit a little too much, then makes sure she's okay. She starts to talk about Urizen, and Dante tells her to stop. V comes running after Dante, but Dante responds by leaving Trish with V and riding away from V on his awesome new bike.
Awesome bike that turns into massive chainsaw blades. Awesome fight scene and bike skills.
Runs down a building on fire while carving up bat demons. Throws his sword down then runs to catch up to it.
Nevan guitar solo. Bonus for not falling for Nevan's seduction, another bonus for getting her to agree to help.
Dance moves; a tribute to a king. Nice hat and special effects. Receives enthusiastic applause and cheering from a cute bespectacled girl.
Confronts the demon god who destroyed his family. This guy destroyed Dante's brother and also killed Dante's mother, and now mocks him with a demon that looks like that mother, who the bad guy also just killed.
Makes another demon god look like a chump. Their swords slam into each other and Dante vanishes, then reapprears beside the demon with his gun pointed at his face. Charges up and blasts this demon, casually turning him to nothingness. World ending threat, and Dante doesn't even bother remembering his name.
New form and weapon, the power boost that wins the day. He stabs a sword into himself and is fine, casually references other stab wounds in the past. Absorbs both that sword and the one on his back, two legendary swords combined into one and absorbed inside himself to form a legendary new sword and form. His departure kicks up a burst of wind through the whole house. Gets between Nero and Urizen. His new sword appears, the Devil Sword Dante, and it opens up to reveal a core like lava, and summons a set of magic blades in the air around him, forming a formation around him in his new Sin Devil form. That demon is powerful enough to stomp gods and then some, and Dante is now stronger than him.
Dante slices the die. I believe this is worth several points. First, slicing a huge block of metal in half. Second, that die and game piece modelled after him control the fate of anyone in the room, and he said no to that. Third, everyone hated that dice game with a passion, literally one of the worst parts of DMC4, so Dante not only expressed what every player wanted and probably tried to do to that die, he also skipped the most hated thing in the game by doing it.
Casually catches Lady falling from the sky, saving her life. He quips about it in a way that flirts and trivializes at the same time, doesn't react when guns are pointed at his face point blank, tanks a bullet to the head, gets annoyed about it in a way that further trivializes the event, catches the next bullet in his teeth, and finally walks away casually picking the first bullet out of his forehead. Dismissively tells her to do as she pleases, further trivializing her attacks and the whole affair, and his remarks about bad luck with women while picking a bullet out of his head further proves just how meaningless the bullets were to him.
Also
Strolls into a town with an entrenched crime establishment and casually overturns their power structure, these groups included some of the most evil types of organisations imaginable, they tried to pay him off and he spat in their faces, whole gangs were squashed once they challenged him, he did so well that lots of other mercenaries and the like started following his lead, and eventually the top criminal took it upon himself to take out Dante personally. Spoiler: Dante kicked his butt.
Shrugs off bullets, trolls the big bad guy, shrugs off a shot to the head, and ultimately wins, taking down the big criminal.
Dante's awesome huge sword, summoned from nothing, his transformed awesome state, and summoning a whole bunch of swords in a threatening formation, before beating a demon king stronger than literal gods. Bonus for standing right between that demon and his nephew until Nero is carried away, and another bonus for casually snapping tendrils that were about to be used to capture Nero. Goes on to win the fight and send this demon god packing.

How could I forget how, in Secret Wars #8, we see God Emperor Doom disposing of an attacker with but a gesture, before Thanos (the leader of the invasion against Doom) appears before him. The two calmly state the other's name, before Doom calmly asks what the purpose of Thanos's invasion was? Destruction? Power? He then offers to crown Thanos Lord of the Waste as a sign of goodwill, only for Thanos to interrupt him. Thanos then remarks how, when the Infinity Gauntlet gave him godlike power similar to Doom's, he ruled over creation as a God would, not as a man would.
Doom ponders this before casually asking if Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet with him now. Thanos remarks that he does not, for he is Thanos, and that would be enough. Doom responds by impaling Thanos, and ripping out his spine and head in one fell swoop before responding:
"That appears...untrue."
He then turns to Annihilus, who is now understandably less willing to fight against Doom, before stating that he is owed penance for this indulgence. He orders Annihilus to find the invading heretics...and devour them.

He then turns to Annihilus, who is now understandably less willing to fight against Doom, before stating that he is owed penance for this indulgence. He orders Annihilus to find the invading heretics...and devour them.

I was away for a few days, both because of commitments and because of issues. Disappointing I took three days to respond but was still the first to post anything for DMC.

From Secret Wars #2:
We begin with the Thor Corps kneeling in honor of their initially-unknown God...who turns out to be Doom himself, for Doom is the lord of the new remaining universe(s), and the Thors of the Thor Corps keep his peace. It is then stated that, in the wake of multiversal destruction that wiped out nearly everything, Doom is the messiah, and is no longer Doctor Doom but God Emperor Doom. In the story of this cosmology there was initially nothing, followed by everything, and then swirling stars, for God Doom created the light.
We then cut to a trial taking place where Brian Braddock accuses Mr. Sinister of slandering his wife, with Doom sitting on his throne, a throne that is stated to be Yggdrasil the World Tree itself, looking down at both parties as Sheriff Strange and Doom's family surround the throne. During the majority of the trial, Doom is silent and simply looks down from his throne, but when Sinister gains the upper hand in a dual against Braddock, Doom blocks a killing blow. He then makes one statement:
"All of you...on your knees."
Everyone besides his wife and daughter kneels instantly. Doom then remarks that he cares little for their petty squabbles, but since he has saved Brian Braddock's life he owes Doom a favor, no? He then asks Braddock what he knows about a hidden citadel of rebels in Braddock's sovereign kingdom of Higher Avalon, and of the rebels against Doom that have whispered the name "Braddock", and states that Braddock will tell him now. When Braddock does not know, Doom responds that Higher Avalon is Braddock's full domain, so should Braddock not know everything that happens in his kingdom? If not, then of what use is Lord Braddock? Doom then states that Braddock has been declared Doomed, and that his eyes, ears, hands, and feet are all forfeit.
When Brian Braddock's older bother James intervenes and states that the rebels were referring to him, not his younger brother, then Sheriff Strange orders his arrest-
THOOM!
With one slammed fist, Doom notes his discontent at such a light punishment. After all, a rebellious baron is a cancer that cannot be allowed to survive, and as such Doom demands his entire family to be publicly punished. That is, until his wife Susan Storm intervenes, putting her hand on her shoulder as she tells him to choose mercy. Softly responding "of course" as he puts his hand over his beloved's, Doom elevates Brian Braddock from a Lord to a Baron of Higher Avalon, before ordering Mister Sinister whipped for his slander of Brian Braddock's pregnant wife and for James to be removed from his sight. When James thanks Doom for his mercy, Doom responds:
"The mercy was for the innocent. I have none for you, Braddock...you get the Shield."
