During the 2018 Doomwar event (by Jonathan Maberry, Andy Lanning, Robert Campanella, Scot Eaton, Jean-Francis Beaulieu, and Cory Petit), Doom discovered the magical capabilities of Vibranium and set out to gather all of Wakanda's precious resources.
Being able to charge Vibranium with magic, Doom made himself a new suit of the new magical metal and his powers became nearly infinite. Not even the Earth's mightiest heroes were able to stop Doom and forced T'Challa to enact a failsafe that stripped all the Wakandan Vibranium of its special qualities and made it useless.
Doom has attempted to take over the world numerous times with varying levels of success, but this attempt may have been one of his best. With his magical Vibranium armor, Doom was able to connect to every fragment of Vibranium on an atomic level that was spread across the Earth when the meteorite hit Wakanda long ago.
This allowed Doom to have complete control of the Earth itself and brought him to one of his most powerful states. Doom even stated that the Power Cosmic and the Cosmic Cube were nothing compared to the power he gained from Vibranium.
