Just show that he and Reed are two sides to the same coin. Both are super geniuses but while Reed wants to help humanity, Doom wants to rule it.
Maybe start at their college years and go from there. Reed is inventing things to help mankind (like HERBIE!) while Doom is perfecting his suit, mastering sorcery and taking over a country. Doom helps fight off the planetary threat in the first film and believes it proves he is the man to protect humanity by ruling it with an iron fist.
