I think the "vibranium war" or whatever it was called gave a decent answer to this. Over the years Domm grew to be more than just another egomaniac. He's not just full of himself. He honestly believes that not only does he have the right to rule the world, but that the world would be better off with him ruling. He's got vision and genius and character. In my view Magneto may be the only supervillain to rival Doom.

Incidentally, in the aforementioned game, Magneto is on the second highest value villain card.
