While we're on the topic of enhanced super soldier characters like Shadow Dragon, lets talk about Hulk catching a one sided ass whooping by Captain America with no plot bullshit to try to explain it.
I guess that's just how high we should consider his durability, right?

The lengths Derrick will go to when he gets rapped without lube to convince himself he's the one doing to raping. He's outright lied accusing me of lying when I proved him wrong.

So you're saying Superman wanted to punch Shadow Dragon but at the same time, he double his speed because he didn't want to grab/punch SD? I learn something new every day (how you tend to make excuses for everything).
Anyways, we get a reading on Doomsdays speed by the end of DOS...
Both Ka-Zar and Zabu are enhanced. Thanks to Place of Mists. As you reminded us years ago
Doomsday failed to kill shieldless Booster Gold with his punches... and resorted to knocking him out with a car door, something his fists were clearly incapable of.
So he wasn't trying to hit Shadow Dragon? Gotcha. Never thought of Supes as a compulsive liar. Also, we literally get a speed quoted on Doomsday during DOS, and yes, lol, he wasn't holding back his speed.
You're either not comprehending the differences in the scenes or are wilfully and dishonestly twisting it because your argument is trash. Just like your excuses for not doing the BZ you agreed to and backed down from.....twice.
Hey, since I brought it up and you're replying, are we going to have our BZ or will you continue to make excuses to run away?

Being surprised that someone is faster than you expected and struggling to keep up speed with someone who’s beating you to death is two different things.
Just as jumping speed because he wanted to get to Metropolis to find what he saw on TV =\= combat reaction speed.
Also completely ignores that he was getting stronger and faster throughout the story, it’s written in the book on damn near every other page.
Do you think Supermans max speed was half the speed of sound sound this time? Is that why you think Superman and Doomsday from this time period aren’t impressive?
Because Superman was already flying around the universe in story arcs before this one. Exile was in 89, years before DOS.
Even after being depowered in 85 Superman was already a proven light speed character by 1988, even before that— Action comics 622
And had defeated and in some cases one shot characters who could move stars and planets, sometimes more than one at a time.
And the gods already considered him a peer just 3 issues into the Man Of Steel reboot.
Not bad for what’s considered the canonically weakest version Superman.
