In
Latveria, Dr. Doom does battle with a powerful individual known as Goron, who
can shoot beams with many properties from his eyes. Doom confirms for himself
that Goron has the power to teleport objects to and from differing locations.
Doom proposes a partnership in order to combine their powers and take over the
world. Doom invites the world's leaders to Latveria in order for them to
witness for themselves Doom's most powerful discovery: a growth process for
crops, making them very large in size. Meanwhile, Johan's father discovers
that Doom has created an android duplicate of his son for propaganda purposes
in order to fool his foreign guests. With his guests off-guard, Doom uses
Goron to control their minds and gets his partner invited to New York, where
he demonstrates his growth ray-beams. Spidey investigates Goron, but is
attacked. After escaping from Goron's trap, Spidey follows him to Cape
Canaveral, where he was supposed to be using his eye-beams on an orbiting
space platform in order to feed the world. Instead, Goron imprisons the
scientists there, and after dealing with Spider-Man again, manages to steal an
important guidance system of a grounded spacecraft. Then, he activates every
nuclear missile of the country, and holds the world to ransom unless Doom is
proclaimed ruler of the world. Spidey battles Goron, with only five
minutes left before the missiles' launch, and attempts to avert disaster.

Dr. Doom Conquers The World skips this episode, probably due to Doom's limited involvement in the
story.
