As a superior being. As in, superior to what he once was. The notion that he becomes totally invulnerable to the means of attack that defeated him is speculatory.Doomsday evolved past being hurt by Superman. Did he ever fight a being who was physically stronger than Superman, while completely unaffected by their physical efforts?
Berton said that he would imerge as a superior being. Not an infinitely superior being...
It certainly didn't happen after he was killed by Imperiex...
the notion that he does evolve past an attack however... at least has evidence to back it up as being somewhat valid....it is no more speculatory than saying that he can't....it is less actually considering his direct quote and some bios that have been made by DC for the character......DD hasn't fought any stronger beings....how many others could there be that aren't in the realm of micheal, and lucifer? which is an entirely different argument all together....the point.....superman put him down with his all....if your theory rung true....even if your theory that he's not evolved to be vastly superior were true....superman in his hunter prey upgrade would have at least put up a decent fight on the physical level before getting beat...but he couldn't and he recognized that..so he used everything else to his advantage...and technically I agree he's not vastly superior...simply superior to whatever killed him before....
another example of dd evolving during a fight.....supes blasted dd with super sonics...dd's auditory canals just fwipped closed....and that was that......dd also has projectile chains that he can shoot out of his wrists...it was enough to peirce clean through enhanced-supes...what would happen I wonder if he did the same to hulk's neck....probably about the same that happened to hulk when wolverine did it....(THUD!)
