Who is Boris?
Boris is the faithful servant of Doom. He has been by Doom’s side since Victor was a young boy, and was a friend of his family before Victor’s parents died. He may be the only person living for whom Doom cares, as demonstrated in FF # 247, when he releases Boris from Zorba’s dungeon. Boris generally does not do anything but make arrangements for Doom and keep him company. In Doom 2099 # 1, Doom refers to Boris as “the one man I called friend.” Fortune, the gypsy administrator that Doom employs in 2099, is the great- great- granddaughter of Boris, although her parents are not known. Boris may be the grandfather (or father, depending on who you ask) of Valeria.
