At that point, Burtron had taken to calling his creation 'The Ultimate'. A superior being that was beyond death, it didn't have to eat or drink and could store solar energy for millennia if nessesarry (another tangent, but many people here seem to think that throwing DD into the sun could kill him; but he's like Superman, a solar battery, throwing him into the sun would be a bad idea. Unlike Superman, he isn't limited to yellow suns). If The Ultimate should come across a being stronger than himself, and be killed, he would come back to life superior to whatever killed him.
Interesting post. Just one thing... in 'Sacrifice,' crazy mind-controlled Superman was trying to take WW into the sun thinking he was taking DD. Since 'Sacrifice' made it a point that Superman was being very tactical, even while being mind-controlled during the storyline, I don't think DD getting stronger in the sun really applies. Maybe one of those things they just undid.
If I wanted to compete for a 'No-Prize' and explain this, maybe a sufficient explanation is that Superman absorbs more power at a faster rate than DD would, which would resolve the seeming inconsistency.
Oh, BTW, it sounds dumb, but when has Hulk been killed/destroyed? And I mean... in a real beat-down, definitive kind of fashion? I mean, we saw Supes and DD die... a bunch of times... and I'm sure Hulk has too... but I just can't think of any that would match the definitive ways that Supes and DD died. BTW, the whole Gog Wars DD fighting constantly for a 100 years, I think Hulk did that too. I remember he was trapped in some Hell and fought the hordes of Hell and since time was irrelevant there, he ended up fighting them for years on end also. I may be wrong, but I remember the page of the comic vividly. It wasn't fiery Hell, more like a land of the walking dead type of Hell, in case someone else has read that and would like to verify.
