Duh, 'cuz I wrote it. CLIP AND SAVE! -------------------- MARVEL: ======= Running down the fiefdoms: *2099* Tom Peyer announces his plans for Doom 2099. After helping the X-Men save Halo City from the Graverobber, Doom comes to terms with the fact that he has no power, no allies, and a pile of poisonous decaying sludge where Latveria used to be. His last desperate plan: to rebuild his infamous time ma- chine and sow the seeds of victory in the 20th century! But as one might expect, every move he makes to change his future could also ensure his destruction, and it doesn't help that he is being pursued by pert near every superhero in the world *and* his 20th century self. "Fast Forward" starts in Doom 2099 #40 (Peyer & J. Buscema), and by the time Doom returns home Marvel 2099 will be Marvel 2101 (blast those hard to read controls!
