On paper, the more dangerous one is Doctor Doom, with a danger index of 84/100 against 76. But paper isn’t everything.
The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
