I liked Ultimate Doom, so it was a pitty when he died.

As I said in the post, they could've been like "Doctor Doom is no more! Let's activate this LMD in order to keep the control of Latveria without a revolution because Doom is gone!" then the LMD is "killed" but the original Doom returns after being in other universes apart from the Zombieverse aqquiring new knowledge of mystic arts, thus he becomes more mystical than his 616 counterpart and he can get what we never had: an EVIL Doctor Doom vs. an EVIL Reed Richards.
