The Latverian Embassy was the diplomatic mission from the nation of Latveria. Located in the shadow of the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan's Lenox Hill on Lexington Avenue^[1]. In this building Doctor Doom ruled absolultly as the embassy is out of bonds to United States police and military establishments, allowing him diplomatic immunity. If any "superhero" tried to attack the building it was considered an act of war and a diplomatic nightmare for the United States.

Events[]

When Doctor Doom became ruler of Latveria he traveled to New York City and used the embassy as his new base. He formulated a trap for the Fantastic Four. They were unaware that Doom was now the ruler of Latveria, he invited them to a party, putting a drug in their drinks to make them see illusions. He trickd them all into thinking they're being attacked by the others before they eventually realize his machinations they escaped back to the Baxter Building were he is defeated.^[2]

Doctor Doom stayed at the Embassy after he was injured by the Fantastic Four. He remained there for sometime while his hands healed.^[3]

When Doom kidnapped Daredevil, he brought him as prisoner and used a body transferal device to switch bodies with him^[4]. Returning to the Latverian embassy, Daredevil, as Dr. Doom, ordered the Latverian army to attack all other countries on its boarders. Realizing what DD had done, Doom returned to his embassy and reversed the process to stop his country from starting war. Back in his own body, Daredevil destroyed Dr. Doom's machine. Admitting defeat, Doom allowed Daredevil to go free.^[5]

Many years later, Spider-Man and the Felicia Hardy infiltrated the Latverian Embassy to retrieve a Spider-Tracer.^[6]

Some time later, Aleksander Lukin was spotted entering the Latverian Embassy.^[7]
