Doomsday killed Superman...Should not have happened

Started by DrDoom8 pages

Everyone's entitled to thier opinion.

They hyped the crap out of "The Death of Superman" same with "Knightfall". After reading those I never said "oh man, they might kill Batman next, mebbe even Wonder Woman( even though they did later 😉)".

The only three comics that ever made me say "man, who's going down next?" were Aquaman's "death" in Our Worlds at War , Firestorm's death during Identity Crisis, and when Wonder Man blew himself up real good in Force Works.
Funny thing is, all three of these characters were revived--Aquaman and Firestorm less than two years after they bought the farm. The new Firestorm's sales are flagging so DC has already allowed Ronnie to reappear (albeit bodiless) in that comic. These guys are like MC Peepants! 🤣 🤣

Someone would have to be crazy to think that DC would permanently kill off one of their "big three"--even after Superman "died". Only B-listers and sidekicks aren't safe in the DCU, and then even they will eventually be brought back (look at Hal Jordan and Metamorpho--even Donna Troy is going to come back).

Having a hero die only to bring them back 1-5 years later only cheapens their sacrifice, it doesn't make people care about the characters more IMO.

Only two times has a hero come back in a way that didn't cheapen their death: Hal Jordan and Colossus. That's it.

The only superhero deaths that I respect are Barry Allen, Colossus,Phoenix (the first time)Synch (who really shouldn't have died), and Hawkeye's (so far).

A major death is planned for DC's new Crisis (my money's on Kyle Rayner, Nightwing, POSSIBLY Martian Manhunter). We'll see how long they stay dead.

DC and MARVEl have retconned deaths or brought the dead back to life SO many times

Zero Hour Is part of regular continuity (from the rebirth of the universe onwards)

This is exactly what I said

Kingdome come is (an elseworld)
Zero Hour isn't (an elseworld)

But Dr. Doom is right there are not many deaths that are actually worth to respect....I would add the Hal Jordan Death though...evemn though he came back but that was just cool.

And there are two good things aboot the Death of Superman first Doomsday is great and second Emerald Twilight.

"These guys are like MC Peepants! "

hahahaha.......except without the diaper! lol.

Well, Superman looks like he's wearing a bloody diaper...

Yeah, Bardock Doomsday is the only other good thing to come out of Supe's death. Good thing they made him smart in Action Comics.

Oh yeah, I didn't include Hal's death because Hal didn't really choose to die.

Parallax did it to help it/himself(check out Rebirth for the 411).

what i hated on this comic ( i loved supes death) is the the supergirl, dies instantly by desintegration.......ridiculous

You mean in Superman/Batman?

dunno
the one it happens

I guess that's the one then.

BTW:
She aint dead.

Doomsday didn't become immune to certain types of attack, he became resistant. He did have superspeed, but nowhere near Superman or Flash. He jumped extremely fast.

Superman is not "impervious to attack." Just ask Ultraman.

It was Doomsday killing Superman stroyarc that really got me into the Superman comics so I'm glad it happend, opened up a lot of great moments for DV having Big Blue dead for a short time.

Really Doomsday didn't kill Superman he was in a state that mirrored death hibernation if you would if you like that better and when they was fighting Superman put Doomsday down on the ground first and when Doomsday didn't get up Superman fell and everyone thought he was dead and they put Superman in the ground. 😮‍💨

Doomsday is kryptonian he sucks up the Solar energys if he was thrown into the sun nothing would happen.

Superman PRIME? only info I can find on net about him is on wikipedia....anywhere else thats official not just b.s.? please pm me if you post something on that thanks

in your opinion...

superman has saved the planet more times than most heroes, he even sacrificed his life to save everyone, including batman and the other 'cooler' characters.

superman is THE superhero, everybody knows who he is...

no matter how 'lame' you think he is he's still one of the few people that almost every dc character respects, batman included...

when the shit hits the fan and all hope seems lost who do they turn to? yes, superman...

his reason to live is simple, to save the world and shag a stunning woman...

not bad at all...

That was the finest post I have ever read. I totally agree Superman is the best and has the good qualities lost now days.

Well Superman ends up beating Doomsday in another anyway dont he? Also doesnt Doomsday get killed by Imperiex anyway?

Doomsday isn't Kryptonian. He was spliced with Kryptonian DNA, giving him his strength. He doesn't have all of a Kryptonian's powers (flight, heat vision, speed, etc.)

But superman has those powers because his genes wer changed by his father to give him the ability to soak our yellow suns sunlight, no?

Or did that all changed with the recent birthright mini. I know they wrote back some pre crisis elements.

Post crisis the kriptonians didnt had supes powers also.
