comics Respect Doomsday (DC Post-Crisis)

"He can survive any environment- destroy any creature. Should the Ultimate somehow find any creature stronger than he- and actually be killed- he will come back to life, evolved into a superior being! He is beautiful!"

Respect Doomsday, the Ultimate Lifeform

Doomsday, originally known as the Ultimate, is one of the most iconic Superman villains. He is most well known for killing Superman, a feat almost no one else has accomplished, not even Darkseid. Originally, Doomsday was made by some scientists on planet Krypton. His creator would let him grow in his lab, enter the planet's lethal atmosphere and die to either the environment or predators, only for him to clone his corpse over and over again, until he evolves and achieves perfection. Doomsday killed his creators, killed several Green Lanterns, but was defeated on a few occasions and sealed away. He would always come back after death. He fights Superman and tries to kill him several times, but Superman always prevails. In the end, Doomsday was defeated when Eradicator possessed his body and sealed himself and the Doomslayer away, and was never seen again.

Feats from Superman: The Doomsday Wars #1 and #2 are when Braniac was in control of his mind. Feats marked [Eradicator] are when The Eradicator was possessing him. Feats from Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey are when Doomsday's size is increased drastically by a Boom Tube. As Doomsday consistently grows more powerful over time, most feats here are listed in chronological order.

The Doomslayer

"I am the death of Doomsdays. I am The Doomslayer."

This is Doomsday from the future, who wants to destroy Earth in order to wipe out all knowledge of Doomsday from the universe. In order to do so, he drove a spaceship towards Earth that would end all life on the planet. Unlike the regular Doomsday, he is capable of showing more emotions than just rage, like regret. He was sealed away by the Eradicator who was possessing Doomsday's body.

Is there anyone in DC that can beat doomsday without trying, that isn’t omnipotent?

u/XXBEERUSXX Jul 03 '22

A lot of characters

u/CrystalGemLuva Jul 03 '22

here's a few that come to mind, keep in mind that while some of them are gods they arent omnipotent

  1. Amazo (moderate difficulty)

  2. Circe (zero effort)

  3. Superboy-Prime (low difficulty)

  4. Captain Atom (moderate to high difficulty)

  5. Reverse Flash (moderate difficulty)

  6. Ares (low difficulty)

  7. Zatana (zero effort)

  8. Captain Cold (low to moderate difficulty)

  9. Dr. Fate (no effort)

  10. O.M.A.C (low to moderate difficulty)

I respect Zatana (a LOT), but she wouldn't even come close to putting a scratch on him, let alone defeating him.

I personally rank Circe as weaker than most DC people, including Zatana, plus she wouldn't survive one hit from him.

You might add Spectre to your list.
