Doomsday killed Superman...Should not have happened

I can name atleast 10 other warriors that would wipe the floor with Superman, so I don't see what the big deal is about Doomsday killing him. 🙂

Anyways.....Superman was goin nowhere, so the writers came up with this death gimick to kick sales. The death of Superman was mentioned world wide, newspaper, tv, radio....it was a cheap circus. I can remember seeing a line at a local comic shop and these mommies were opening their check books for $50 a single #75 issue. This was when it first came out , i payed $2.50 each for my multiple issues at another store. 💃

The story line was ok for something diferrent to read, but everyone here is analyzing it and picking it apart. Too many issues come to mind that yah Superman shouldnt have that tough of a time dealing with Doomsday.

Doomsday just jumps, but Superman couldnt even deal with him in mid-air. The writes of course dont even use any other powers to help, except flying. Superman drives Doomsday into a lakes bed hoping it will slow him down. Superman shouldve drove him down into the lake bed like couple of miles and let ol Doomsday deal with that....but nooooo.

Half-way through their fight Superman complaining about how HE was being hurt hitting DD. Towards the end Superman says he NEEDS to move faster and match DD or he's dead...see soo much for flash like speed in this story line. All in All pretty cheesey for all you Die Hard Superman Fans. 😱

Why did this happen, there was no Big K involved, no nothing it was just a strength match. Superman is impervious to physical attacks if No K involved, or at least should be cause thats what his fater and the comics said.

Also in the comic, Supe never went super speed, he could have just doged all of Doomsdays attacks and he would have never gotten him. Then as Supe likes to do is throw stuff into the Sun, he could have just grabbed doomsday and done just that, but he did not. He could have also just thrown him into outerspace, and let him come back down and burn up in the atmosphere. He did none of those

What were doomsdays powers? Just Strength and hardness. Nothing Else, matched with supes....super strength, super speed, heat vison, freeze breath, super breath, invinsibility, aurora power shell from the yellow sun, smartest man on the earth,x-ray vision.

This makes no sense to me.

My question is why he died, and why the comic writers let this happend, and the only reason I can see why he died was that they wanted him to, and with a little research ....THEY DID!!

You're wrong on a few things:

Superman is solar powered, his kryptonian cells absorb the rays of a yellow sun. Yet while using his powers he's using up his "juice" i.e. solar reserves. The more powerful the foe he's fighting the more "juice" he uses to stop the foe.

The reason Superman died fighting Doomsday...

Doomsday was Superman's equal in brute strength and invunerablity. After hours of battling Doomsday Superman was using up so much of his solar energy that his protective aura that makes him nigh invunerable began to wear down. The blows Doomdsay was landing on Superman were now severly injuring him.

By the way the battle happened at Superspeed.
