As perhaps the greatest supervillain in the entire Marvel universe, Doctor Victor Von Doom has fought his fair share of superheroes. Although the Fantastic Four are his main enemies, many other superheroes have also gotten in the way of his nefarious plans.
More often than not, Doom is the one to come out on top of these encounters. On a select few occasions, however, the hero is able to squeak out a victory. Many of the heroes that have done so are ones you would least expect. Here are ten heroes everyone forgets defeated Doctor Doom.

10 10. Black Panther
When Wakanda was overthrown by a highly trained team of insurgents, Black Panther knew that there must be an intelligent leader behind the attack. He was right. That leader turned out to be Doctor Doom. These events transpired in the series called Doomwar, where T'Challa was forced to take the Fantastic Four villain head-on.
Upon learning that Doom was hoping to steal Wakanda's large supply of vibranium, the Wakandan leader and his soldiers essentially rendered the vibranium useless. Doom never would have guessed Black Panther would go to such lengths to protect Wakanda. That was why he lost.

Under an alias, Doom had hired Cage to try and destroy some of his robots. After the hero of Harlem proves successful, Doom reneges on the deal and returns to Latveria. Luke Cage then follows Doom all the way to his home country and beats Doom to a pulp in return for not paying him his full due.
