Alter ego of rapper Daniel Dumile. Other alter egos include MF DOOM, Metal Fingers and King Geedorah.

The name Viktor Vaughn comes from Victor Von Doom, the real name of Fantastic Four arch-enemy Dr. Doom.

Doom stated, in the song ‘Doom on Vik’: “Vik is more cutting edge, whatever the new stuff is or these new MC’s are doing. But he still appreciates the old school art of rhyming. So there’s still a level of sincerity to Viktors stuff, but it’s still younger and newer, you know what I’m saying? And he rhymes over whatever beat, it don’t matter.” From another interview: “Like, Viktor, he supposed to be like a younger cat. Like, maybe a sophomore in high school type shit. So, his whole attitude has to be different. He’s like, more spontaneous, spunky, you know what I’m saying? He got little funny stuff to say here and there. It’s more from a younger guys perspective. I had to really get into character. It wasn’t that hard, though. It’s just a matter of remembering how it was back then at that time and just capturing that in lyrics.” And also from another interview: “Viktor Vaughn is like a Bizarro Doom, if I can use that expression and whatnot. He’s like the Doom from another dimension. But at the same time, it’s another timeline, you know? Doom is known to dabble in science and technology here and there. But then Vik, in his dimension, technology might’ve been a little further along, so he had access to maybe quantum mechanics and all that a little earlier.
