Who they are
The one thing the Fox films get badly wrong: Doom here is a jilted American CEO whose skin turns metallic, rather than a Latverian monarch and sorcerer with a nation behind him. McMahon is enjoyably nasty, the mask is good, and the character's whole scale is missing.

From the comics
He is a head of state
Doom rules Latveria, cannot be arrested, and considers Richards the only man alive worth resenting — the scar under the mask is from his own experiment, and he blames Reed for that too. None of this is in the 2005 film, and all of it is in the character.
