[Marvel and DC] Does Doctor Doom actually respect anyone? Does Lex Luthor? Do they have any real friends?

Did they ever?

Doom has a rough respect for Richards, but still views him as inferior. He also respects Doctor Strange as a mage, and Magneto, Namor, and the Black Panther as fellow kings. Or he DID respect Magneto while he ruled, but that might not be a thing anymore. He also respects Stark's technical ability, though little else about him.

Luthor respects Bruce Wayne and honestly wouldn't mind being friends with him, provided Bruce quit finding childish ways to try to get a rise out of him. He likes Clark Kent, but doesn't respect him. He does have a respect for Lois Lane.
