God Emperor Doom

Does God Emperor Doom gain all Battleworld keywords if he isn't on a theme team?

Does "when establishing themed teams" equal "during force construction"?

Quote

GOD OF BATTLEWORLD: When establishing themed teams, God Emperor Doom gains all Battleworld keywords. // Leadership, Perplex, Colossal Stamina. When God Emperor Doom uses Perplex to target another character with a Battleworld keyword, you may instead modify a combat value except damage by +2 or -2.

STEP 1: REVEAL STARTING FORCES AND ESTABLISH THE FIRST PLAYERAll players reveal their starting forces and turn those dials (including those of their Sideline) to their starting lines chosen for this game, and then establish themed teams. Each player then rolls 2d6 (reroll ties). The player with the highest result gets to choose who is the first player this game. For any simultaneous effects that need ordering before the first turn begins, the first player is considered the “active player.” (See p. 32 for Themed Teams.) (See p. 18 for Rule of Active Player.)

Themed teams are forces of HeroClix characters that have experience working together or common fighting styles and have extra synergy. This familiarity is represented by them sharing a keyword.

Characters in your Sideline are not part of your starting force and do not count for a Themed Team.

In order for a starting force to become a themed team, in step 1 of the Beginning of Game phase, you must choose a single keyword that all characters (that aren’t bystanders) on your starting force already have. Your starting force must also have at least two characters (that aren’t bystanders) on it. Once a starting force becomes a themed team, it remains so for the rest of the game, regardless of KO’s, replacement characters, gaining or losing keywords, etc. If the chosen keyword is a named keyword, then your team is a “Named Themed Team,” otherwise the team is a “Generic Themed Team.”

An effect that says “During force construction, friendly characters gain the Mystical keyword.” If you choose that keyword, that force is a generic themed team because the effect was able to be used during force construction. If the effect instead says “At the beginning of the game, friendly characters gain the Mystical keyword” then that keyword could not be chosen for a themed team (unless all characters on your force already had it) because the effect was not able to be used during force construction. In both cases, you can use effects during the game that reference the Mystical or a “shared” keyword, even if the character with that effect was KO’d.

Yes. "Establishing theme teams" is something that happens during Step 1 of Setup, every game. It's the point where the game itself checks to see if you have a Theme Team or not. The quoted Themed Team entry actually has no bearing on Doom.
