Thanks for the link Crow. I actually bought The Death Of Superman and the Superman Doomsday: Hunter-Prey books, back around 1995, from Oxford Comics, which was located very close to my residence at that time. I remember how Darkseid used his omega beams on Doomsday...and mistakenly assumed Doomsday was finished. The story of how Doomsday was created was, for me, fascinating. This creature was sent out, time after time, by its creator, and slowly survived for seconds more each time, constantly reborn in a tube to repeat the process. By the time Doomsday had "matured", it had hunted the planet's indigenous creatures to extinction and then turned on it own creator. In all of my years of reading comics, I have never seen a character as powerful, or relentless, as Doomsday. I remember the part in the "Death Of Supes" book where this thing blasted out of it's confinement by repeatedly hammering away, with one fist, on the wall of the thing that held it. There was the part where Doomsday, with one arm, punched and demolished that tractor trailer as it stood on the highway. Doomsday made quick work of Maxima. It was unsettling seeing Supes tested, and beaten so severely, by an opponent. Superman had had past physical battles but nothing like this. I believe Doomsday could defeat any Marvel comics character...with the possible exception of The Hulk. Not even Juggernaut, Onslaught or The Thing could withstand Doomsday's raw brute power. |
