Today’s KFC release is a Marvel tie-in: the Avengers: Doomsday MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) collaboration menu, launched on November 10, 2026. The movie, due in Korea on December 16, features the villain Doctor Doom, and the whole menu follows that concept. I ordered the jet-black Doom Zinger, plus Doom Fries and Doom Nuggets coated in green jalapeño sauce and black barbecue sauce, and added the Doom Egg Tart, a black tart shell with green filling. The Doom Zinger costs 8,500 won as a single in store and is on sale until January 4, 2027. Intimidating look, right? Ha. Let’s see what each item is.

Doom Zinger Lineup: Prices and Highlights

For this collaboration, KFC released two burgers, the Doom Zinger and the Doom Triple Down, along with three snacks: Doom Fries, Doom Egg Tart and Doom Nuggets. Everything from the burgers to the sides has been restyled around Doctor Doom, so I ordered a burger and all three snacks at once. Ha. Let’s start with the burger prices.

Doom Zinger single: 8,500 won in store, 9,400 won delivery
Doom Zinger combo: 10,700 won in store, 12,000 won delivery
Doom Triple Down single: 12,900 won in store, 13,800 won delivery
Doom Triple Down combo: 15,100 won in store, 16,400 won delivery
Doom Fries (large French fries): 4,000 won delivery
Doom Nuggets (10 pieces): 6,400 won delivery
Doom Egg Tart: 3,100 won delivery

I couldn’t confirm in-store prices for the snacks, so those are delivery prices, and in-store prices tend to run a bit lower. The KFC app also runs a purchase challenge that unlocks coupons for up to 50% off the Doom Zinger, depending on cumulative sales of the Doom Zinger and Doom Triple Down, along with a friend-invite event.

Going by delivery prices, the Doom Zinger costs 2,600 won more than the regular Zinger (6,800 won), so there is a fair collaboration premium. Delivery also adds about 900 won to a single compared with in store, so ordering in store or for takeout is the better option. The Doom Zinger weighs 290 g with 699 kcal and 73% of the daily recommended sodium. The Doom Triple Down weighs 524 g with 1,235 kcal, and its sodium reaches 132% of the daily recommended amount, so keep that in mind. It is a limited-time item, and sales run until January 4, 2027.

What’s in the Doom Zinger

Let’s check what you get. The moment you open the bag, black and green fill the view. Burger and sides all share Doctor Doom’s colors, and laid out together they really do have the presence of a collab menu.

Starting with the Doom Zinger: it is a burger with KFC’s signature Zinger patty between black brioche buns dotted with sesame seeds. Green Doom Jalapeño Sauce and black Doom BBQ Sauce complete it. The jalapeño sauce gets its heat from jalapeño and cheongyang chili peppers (a hot Korean variety), while the BBQ sauce is said to carry a red wine note.

To be honest, the Doom Jalapeño Sauce is such a deep green that it puts me off a little. If it were red, like typical spicy sauces, it wouldn’t look so unappetizing. Without the Doctor Doom tie-in, it would feel closer to Hulk green. Ha.

Now let’s cut it in half and look closer. From the top: the black bun, lettuce soaked in green Doom Jalapeño Sauce, a zigzag of black Doom BBQ Sauce, then one slice of cheddar cheese and the Zinger patty. The bottom bun carries another layer of jalapeño sauce, so green sauce wraps the patty above and below. The cross-section shows layers of black, green and orange, which makes it fun to photograph.

Taste Test: Familiar Zinger, Dramatic Looks

Time to dig in. With nuggets, fries and an egg tart all spread out together, the look is honestly a bit unsettling. Ha. Still, the taste itself should be fine, I figure. Ha.

How Does the Doom Zinger Taste?

I took a big bite of the main Doom Zinger first. The crunchy texture and spicy seasoning typical of a Zinger patty come through first. The black bun differs only in color, since it tastes like a soft brioche bun, so it didn’t feel odd.

The Doom Jalapeño Sauce clearly delivers the sharp heat of jalapeño and cheongyang chili, and the Zinger patty is spicy too, so the heat arrives in two layers. The sweet, rich black Doom BBQ Sauce wraps that heat from time to time, so the flavor balance was fine. However, the core of the taste is the familiar Zinger, so anyone expecting something as radical as the look may be a little let down.

Overall it was close to the Zinger burger we all know, with a mildly spicy sauce added. It isn’t very spicy, so even people who struggle with spicy food should be able to enjoy it without much trouble. Ha.

Doom Egg Tart: Strange Color, Familiar Flavor

The Doom Egg Tart looked the strangest, yet it tasted like KFC’s familiar egg tart, rich and sweet. The crispy tart shell and soft filling are unchanged, so it was a perfect dessert to finish off the spicy, salty Doom items. Ha.

Only the color is different, and the overall taste and flavor haven’t changed much from the regular egg tart. Its look makes it easy to misjudge (?), so the surprise here is that it tastes ordinary, which counts as a twist of sorts.

Doom Fries and Doom Nuggets

Doom Fries and Doom Nuggets get the same two sauces, so the taste goes in a similar direction. Salty fries and nuggets pick up the spicy jalapeño sauce and the sweet barbecue sauce in turn, so there was no need to dip them in anything extra. They made a great beer snack. However, the sauce is only drizzled on top, so the fries underneath sometimes get no sauce. I recommend giving them a quick toss before eating.

When mixed with other sauces, I couldn’t taste the heat much, but tasting the green sauce on its own showed that its spiciness is clearly present. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce seems to neutralize a lot of that heat.

Final Verdict: Wild Looks, Familiar Zinger Taste

Personally, I think the collab fun is real, since everything from the burger to the sides and dessert follows the Doctor Doom concept. The Doom Zinger was solidly tasty: the familiar Zinger with spicy jalapeño and rich barbecue sauce. Doom Fries and Doom Nuggets also work as drinking snacks thanks to the sauces. However, the Doom Zinger is 8,500 won in store, noticeably more than the regular Zinger. The taste isn’t as radical as the look, so how satisfying it feels for the price may divide opinion. Think of it as a menu tailored 100% to Marvel movie fans. Ha.
