This was inspired by Magneto's trial by the real-life International Court of Justice at The Hague( X-Men #200 and Avengers vs X-Men) as well as a story in which The Red Skull is captured by a German superhero Hauptmann Deutschland( Captain Germany or Vormund as he is now) and is taken back to "Die Vaterland" to be placed on trial for his life on war crimes charges(in reality Germany by now reunited has NO death penalty even for war crimes and crimes against humanity). As neither Doom or other prominent super villains such as Magneto, the Red Skull or the Mandarin are American citizens(the US has stated under BOTH the Bush and Obama -and possibly Trump Administrations- that it does NOT accept that the International Criminal Court has any jurisdiction over members of the US Armed Forces and by implication American citizens as a whole), I was wondering what might happen if the ICC began a case against them(Of course a criminal gang leader such the Kingpin is of no conceivable interest to the ICC as he can be dealt with under the criminal law of the US or of New York State at least!).
