Simultaneously, Doomsday developed a strong desire to murder Superman in particular. However, it remains unexplained why Doomsday did not also react with this specific type of malice towards the Cyborg Superman , who clearly possessed Kryptonian DNA. Doomsday battled Superman in a titanic struggle, leading the hero to conclude that the creature would only continue to attack relentlessly and endlessly, with no urge for surrender.
In an act of self-sacrifice, Superman refused to give up despite taking serious wounds and running low on stamina. The fight raged to the bitter end, where the two combatants each struck a simultaneous, fatal blow to the others head, effectively killing each other in front of the Daily Planet building in Metropolis.
In the aftermath of Superman's apparent death, no fewer than four super-beings appeared in his wake, two of them declaring themselves to be the "real" Superman. After strapping the creature to an asteroid with an electronic device attached a device later revealed to be a backup of the cyborg's essence , the Cyborg flung Doomsday into deep space, on a trajectory supposedly certain to never intersect any other planet.
Eventually, after passing through a wormhole, Doomsday's asteroid was accidentally found by a deep-space scavenger ship.
Upon closer examination of the peculiar-looking drifting rock, the ship's crew retrieved the object hoping to find something of value. The scavenger vessel happened to be on a route to Apokolips. Doomsday was fully rested and, after slaughtering the crew of the salvage ship, found himself landing on the harsh world. This was to be the setup for a final showdown between Doomsday and Superman similarly resurrected, in the meantime , who had been uneasy about the possibility of Doomsday's resurrection.
Unknown to Superman, Doomsday had faced and beaten Darkseid himself in single combat even surviving Darkseid's fabled Omega Beams and was laying waste to Apokolips. Unfortunately, before Superman could deal with Doomsday, Desaad opened a boom tube to Calaton -- the first world where Doomsday was successfully defeated - and sent Doomsday through to what he believed was his defeat at the hands of The Radiant. However, because Doomsday is essentially able to adapt and overcome any opponent because of the process by which he was created he was always stronger than he had been prior to his last death ; Radiant cannot defeat him more than once.
Likewise, Superman cannot kill Doomsday more than once. Superman, while knowing this, was obsessed with stopping Doomsday and traveled to Calaton. He fought Doomsday again with the help of the Mother Box, but, despite it providing him with extra weapons such as an ultrasonic gun and an energy sword, Superman met with defeat.
He was forced to use one of Waverider 's time travel devices to leave Doomsday stranded at the End of Time, where Doomsday was finally and permanently destroyed by the one force he could never adapt to; entropy. An imperfect duplicate of Doomsday was created by an artificial intelligence based on the son of scientist Doctor Julian Lazarus, who was attempting to bring his son back after being responsible for the accident that killed him. The AI based on the child had already created short-lived copies of Barry Allen and Sinestro , but he simply did not realize that he was creating an actual monster; he thought he was simply playing a computer game.
Despite the duplicate possessing all of Doomsday's raw strength, with the aid of the new Wonder Girl , and the disguised Hercules currently posing as new hero Champion in a plot against the Amazons , Wonder Woman was able to shatter the false Doomsday when he was given access to so much power that his bone spurs covered his body, leaving him unable to move and reduced to a simple statue that Wonder Woman was able to shatter.
In an attempt to understand death, Mister Mxyzptlk created a temporary copy of Doomsday, who subsequently killed Mxyzptlk in a fight. However, Mxyzptlk was resurrected during a meeting with the "Supreme Being", and removed the Doomsday duplicate from the fight once again.
Doomsday returned yet again when Prin Vnok, an underling of Brainiac uses his technology to travel to the End of Time to retrieve Doomsday in order to combine the beast's massive power with Brainiac's formidable intellect this was later revealed to have taken place due to the timeline's reconstruction following the events of " Zero Hour ", when the former at that time Green Lantern Hal Jordan , presently known as Parallax broke down creation and the heroes were forced to trigger their own Big Bang to stop him; the reconstruction of time meant that Brainiac was able to change the outcome of Doomsday's defeat.
Doomsday's will proved too strong to override completely with psionics, and he reacted too quickly for any chemical process to eliminate his simple mind, so Brainiac attempted to use a human host to genetically engineer a Doomsday body without the mind while temporarily lodging in Doomsday's head.
He chose to use Pete Ross and Lana Lang's newborn baby , born eight weeks premature and being transported by Superman to the best Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit in the country; Brainiac intercepted Superman during the attempt and stole the baby to hurt his long-time foe, correctly deducing that it was the child of someone close to Superman.
In the end, Superman thwarted Brainiac's plot by driving him out of Doomsday's body via the use of a telepathy-blocking "psi-blocker". Main article: Our Worlds at War. Following these events, Doomsday was released by Lex Luthor 's Suicide Squad to battle Imperiex , a threat that was judged to be even greater than Doomsday himself. Once freed, Doomsday slaughtered the Squad, and then went on to battle Imperiex's numerous probes his mind having been altered to regard them as the threat he normally perceived Superman to be , which had thus far managed to seriously injure or kill most of Earth's heroes.
Doomsday tore through numerous probes with seemingly little effort, while aided by Superman — the only time the two enemies would come close to teaming up — before finally confronting Imperiex himself.
Imperiex proved too much for Doomsday; he blasted him, reducing the creature to a glowing skeleton. Doomsday's skeleton was retrieved and his flesh regrown by Lex Luthor by using Superman's Kryptonian DNA , who handed Doomsday over to Darkseid Luthor's aide in the retrieval, repair, and improvement of Doomsday to repay Earth's war debt to Apokolips.
By this time, Doomsday had evolved intelligence and sentience. Luthor arranged for the Joker to set Doomsday loose in Washington, D. Despite being weakened by kryptonite exposure when Luthor attempted to exploit Doomsday's Kryptonian origins, Superman's heart was restarted by Black Lightning and he reached Doomsday just as the monster was struggling with the Martian Manhunter.
Learning from J'onn that Doomsday wanted to kill Luthor because he blamed Luthor for his "death" in the Imperiex War, Superman managed to defeat the creature by using his newfound sentience and intelligence against him. While Superman proceeds to take everything Doomsday throws at him and then knock him out for good, he explains how he has done so:. Darkseid attempted to replicate Doomsday, producing an army of Doomsday clones.
Fortunately, Darkseid was not able to duplicate perfectly the creature in all its raw power, possibly as a result of the creature's complex DNA, and they were defeated by a combination of heat vision and Batman's explosive batarangs during an attack on Paradise Island while Darkseid kidnapped the newly arrived Supergirl. When Superman traveled to Apokolips to reclaim the life of John Henry Irons, the man known as Steel , Darkseid's wife Mortalla ordered his troops to release Doomsday in an attempt to help Darkseid.
Doomsday's short freedom was quickly halted by John in the Entropy Aegis , an armor with incredible power that had been built out of the remains of an Imperiex probe. Doomsday disappeared and was seen wandering the harsh lands of Apokolips. With his newfound intelligence, Doomsday managed to escape Apokolips and return to Earth.
Upon his arrival, Doomsday encountered a series of emotions previously alien to him - love, compassion and kindness. Exploring the full abilities of these new emotions, Doomsday made his way to Metropolis once more, though not in the destructive manner he had before. Upon his arrival in Metropolis, Doomsday found Superman at the brink of death at the hands of one of his enemies.
Using his new emotions, Doomsday shocked both Superman and his opponent, Gog by helping Superman fight against Gog's army. This unfortunately was not enough and Gog stood triumphant over Superman. In this new future, Doomsday was remembered as one of Earth's greatest heroes, who continued Superman's legacy by leading an army under his name against the army of Gog.
This new timeline ended when it was revealed that Superman was still alive. Superman had been trapped for two centuries and tortured by Gog. Superman was bound and surrounded by kryptonite, not enough to kill him but enough to prevent his escape.
Gog constantly asked Superman why he did not save his family. Superman tells Gog that he could not trade their lives for others. Gog began offering Superman a chance to go back in time and kill him; Superman refused. Eventually Superman shows Gog the error of his ways. Doomsday shows up again in other storylines thanks to time travel devices , including joining the ranks of the Suicide Squad before slaughtering them all.
