One of the problems I have is Doom isn't an Iron Man villain.
----
That Acts of Vengeance Iron Man/Dr. Doom story has a long reach.

The "Acts of Vengeance" story from issue #250 is a follow-up to the original Camelot tale by Michelinie, J.R. Jr., and Layton in #150.

Doom and Iron Man have tangled a few times but not really enough to consider Doom a part of Iron Mans rogue gallery. They do seem like a natural pair of antagonists though, given that they are both genius inventor types who have a fondness/specialty for technological suits of armor and robotics.

Micheal Casselman hit the nail on the head for me. I
don't have a problem with "temporary" replacement
characters, but Marvel drags this stuff out forever. The
Saga Of Beta Ray Bill went about three issues and Thor
was still Thor. Now this crap goes on for years. I
haven't seen the "real" Captain America on the shelf in
a store in what feels like a decade. Meh.

Regarding the "Back to the Basics" idea, I would imagine the folks at Marvel would argue that you can't really get more "Back to the Basics" than Doom vs. Reed. They're just, y'know, mixing it up a bit.
I'm a little surprised to hear they're doing a story that's so "FF" in nature, given their current antipathy for the characters and franchise.

That's why they use ultimate Reed. So they can show their contempt for FOX. Back to down to 2 core x-books. (10 total). Death of X took care of the mutant problem. Inhumans being more the face of the feared because they are different. Even deadpool is down to 2 books.

Despite the Fantastic Four seemingly having a persona non grata
status, the individual characters have been around. I don't think it's
surprising at all. Secret Wars was a big event revolving around Reed
and Doom.
As for the X-Men, they are showing up again as figures, Funko Pops,
and video game characters after a year or two of mostly nothing, so
something seems to have happened with the most recent Fox/Marvel
TV deals.

Except after Secret wars Reed sue and the kids have been outside the universe with Molecule Man. Secret Wars was the perfect screw you to reed and sue. Who knows maybe they are the ones to fix Steve Rogers.
About as likely as JB returning to marvel.
Of course there's going to be X-men Pops. They're not stupid. I doubt marvel can say, nooo yo can't make a wolverine toy!

And yet there was a period where some previously announced X-Men
Pops were in limbo, and there was a dearth of X-Men merchandise in
general. Other than Deadpool. Deadpool money seems to be too much
to turn down.
