which doomsday? I mean martian manhunter couldn't phase or do anything mentally to non-sentient doomsday so how effective would those attacks be on him?
Seth has almost every power imaginable, the usual strenth, speed etc then everything else, he is probably stronger than Supes as he was made to take out anyone in the Wildstorm Universe Majstick included.

Seth basically beat the Authority not once but twice, Jenny Q used his safeword a nod to Miracleman 8 for this.
Transfer of Power is the fourth and final collection of volume one of The Authority, the book that arguably changed the superhero genre forever. Not content with merely stopping supervillains from robbing banks, the six members of the Authority (Jack Hawksmoor, the Engineer, the Doctor, Swift, Apollo and the Midnighter) use their remarkable powers in a proactive rather than reactive way. They're out to change the world, and they don't care who gets in their way.
Unfortunately for the Authority, this attitude doesn't endear them to most world leaders, who fear the implications of a few powerful individuals threatening the status quo. So, the seven richest countries dispatch Seth, the "genetically modified hillbilly" with more than 1,000 super powers, to dispose of the Authority. Once the original Authority are out of the way, a brand new Authority are installed by the establishment--the Colonel, Rush, the Machine, Street, the Professor, Teuton and Last Call. As the new Authority get used to their new-found glory as the world's greatest superheroes, only one question remains: where is the Midnighter?
When half of the stories collected in Transfer of Power were originally produced, the Authority had become as controversial in the real world as they were in their fictional world. Apollo and the Midnighter are rather thinly-veiled archetypes of Superman and Batman, with one fundamental difference: they're also a gay couple. DC Comics, publishers of The Authority (under its Wildstorm imprint), bristled at some of the more overt artwork and dialogue, and while the mess was being sorted out, a temporary team of Tom Peyer (writer) and Dustin Nguyen (artist) were brought in for the four-part "Transfer of Power" story line. Though they do an admirable job, it appears rushed and its flippant tone jars with the rest of the book. As expected, it is writer Mark Millar's story line ("Brave New World"😉--which bookends Transfer of Power--that does real justice to the characters and team he was instrumental in defining. His story, and the detail-rich artwork of Frank Quitely and Arthur Adams in particular, provide a fitting finale to the superteam and book that, in Millar's own words (as spoken by Jack Hawksmoor), "completely changed the landscape". --Robert Burrow
Synopsis
The Authority are dead; slaughtered by Seth, the former redneck farmer and 'six billion dollar b*****d' with more than 1,000 super powers. In their place are an establishment-approved version of the Authority - The Colonel, Rush, The Machine, Street, The Professor, Teuton and Last Call - and they seek nothing more than to destroy the work the Authority have been doing...but there are pieces missing in the puzzle. Where is the Midnighter's body? What happened to the incredibly powerful child, Jenny Quantum? And who is going to close the hole in the Bleed that threatens the entire multiverse? This bitingly satirical, all-action collection has the answers: and they'll change the world as you know it!
Some of Seth's powers, off the top of my head:
Super strength(Apollo level), indestructibility, speed/reaction time, etc.
He could overload an opponents mind with a single massive thought, he could make someone feel what it was like to be an animal dying in a horrible fashion, he could teleport, he had some kind of energy burst that burnt the hell out of Apollo (who survived a trip into the sun, and a trip near the Earth's core), could spit up razor blades that cut deep into Hawksmoor, who has some pretty high durability.
That's all I have right now. Basically, his biggest selling points for this fight are his indestructibility (survived several heavy blasts of Apollo's heat vision, and having a jet plane slammed right into his chest followed by an explosion of nuclear proportions), the weapons designed to take out high level super people and his psychic attacks.
The Authority would whup DD. Seth could too. Good synopsis of the events surrounding the comic book whirly. And Khell hit the major points...I came armed this time, at my computer with the issues in hand. But it appears things have been taken care of. Good work fellas. Wildstorm crew OUT! *swoops out window*

Ok Ok what about this guy vs Doomsday.
Ultimo
Ultimo was once the bane of many space faring peoples. He was referred to as the Devastator or “He-Who-Destroys”. A group from the planet Rajak that Ultimo had destroyed came seeking vengeance, but Ultimo was too powerful for them. They were forced to flee and led Ultimo into a meteor cluster near the planet Earth. The meteors knocked both Ultimo and those from Rajak to Earth. Ultimo landed in China where he laid inert until he was discovered by the Mandarin.
Iron Man vol. 3 #24- flashback- Ultimo attacks the planet of Rajak and kills every inhabitant. Sapper and his merchantmen were off planet at the time, but when they discovered what Ultimo did they took off after him for vengeance, but Ultimo was too powerful for them. They were forced to flee and led Ultimo into a meteor cluster near the planet Earth. The meteors knocked both Ultimo and Sapper’s people to Earth. Sapper was the only one to survive, but his people consciousness was uploaded to be accessed later.

Avengers annual #1- Mandarin had a plan and only one of his three teams to succeed to take over the world. Power Man and Swordsman failed, as did Enchantress and Executioner. Living Laser was defeated, but then Mandarin’s surprise, Ultimo, climbs out of an about to erupt volcano. Thor flies off to face Ultimo. Ultimo tries to eye blast Thor, but Thor just dodges. Thor strikes with a thousand thousand thunderbolts, but Ultimo doesn’t seem to feel it at all. Thor throws the hammer, but Ultimo’s rays stop Mjolnir’s path and knocks it away from Thor. Ultimo’s beams separate Thor from his hammer. Thor tries to run hoping it will lure Ultimo from the hammer, but Ultimo doesn’t move. Thor throws a boulder at Ultimo, but Ultimo’s beams disintegrates it. Mandarin is pleased with Ultimo and praises the day he found him. Hawkeye distracts Ultimo and lets Thor get his hammer. Ultimo has Hawkeye, but Thor hits Ultimo so hard that it drops him. Thor knocks Ultimo back into the volcano. He caves in the volcano and then cools the rubble with rain.
