- Daniel Dumile (* 9. Januar 1971 in London, England), vielen besser bekannt als MF DOOM, ist ein US-amerikanischer Hip-Hop-Künstler, der unter vielen verschiedenen Alter Egos in Erscheinung tritt. Sein Markenzeichen ist seine metallene Gesichtsmaske. Das Kürzel „MF“ kann wahlweise für „Metal Face“, „Metal Fingers“ (Dumiles Produzentenalias), „Multi Faced“, „Mic Fiend“, oder auch, wie bei seinem ehemals engen Freund MF Grimm, für „Mad Flows“ stehen. Kurz nach seiner Geburt wanderte seine Familie in die USA aus. Heute lebt er in Long Island, New York.
- Born Daniel Dumile, MF DOOM was not always the slurring anti-poet idolized by college-aged white people the world over. In his early life, Dumile grew up in jolly old England, laughing and frolicking amongst the happy-go-lucky tarts, vicars, and other English commoners. Upon realizing how altogether pansy the English are, Dumile emigrated to New York City, seeking a gritty, more masculine existence. It was in the Big Apple that he would lose his ability to form sentences and gain a general animosity towards existence.
- MF DOOM (also known as DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) is a particularly Troperiffic rapper. DOOM, born Daniel Dumile, had some success as a rapper in the early '90s under the name Zev Love X. However, the tragic loss of his brother in a car accident in 1994 caused him to retreat from the hip-hop world and sink into a deep depression. He eventually became homeless on the streets of New York; in interviews, he describes himself in this period as "recovering from his wounds" and swearing revenge "against the industry that so badly deformed him." If this sounds like a Super Villain origin story, well, the similarity didn't escape him either. When he recovered and returned to the world of hip-hop he adopted the identity of MF DOOM, an Expy of the Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom. D
