We'll know for sure next issue, though.

That would be kind of lame if Hickman repeat's it.

Since supposedly the gems were shattered gone from that other time. And now it is shown that the time gem, Cap had it for this.

As then again repeat that cycle. Cap has it again another time but I guess it would not surprise me again. Fool them a second time and lets go for a third time.....LOL.

But when he arrives back on Earth, so does Doomsday. This time Superman finishes Doomsday off by ripping it in half.

****ing insane showing.

Wow. I know I'm extremely late, but this is amazing. Was this set up as like a mini event? Or did it just kinda happen in the story? Kal being able to rip Doomsday! of all people in half is insane. I guess Doomsday isn't a legit threat anymore and got nerfed in the new 52, or you can argue that Kal is just that damn good. I have a new found respect for Superman. Which issue is this? I'm actually going to my local comic shop to purchase my first Superman book.

It's Superman: Doomed. IMO Doomsday isn't nerfed at all, in fact, this version of Doomsday is supposed to be the mature and more powerful version of him. It is stated multiple times in the comic that Supes is the only one who has a chance against it.

Its Superman Doomed 1, a oneshot.

I don't mind Superman beating Doomsday--it's the rippage-in-halfage that I have a huge problem with. Superman should not be able to do something like that to any version of DD worth a damn(he could have never hoped to do that to H/P or Wars DD, for example.)

That is why I think this version of DD was nerfed--relative to some of his pre-Flashpoint incarnations, at least.

I agree. Supes ripping anyone in half signifies a 2 to 3 tier power difference.

mmm

world breaker superman? 😂

It's a valid argument, but I don't agree. I think it was meant to imply what a desperate, balls to wall, non-holding back Supes is capable of, especially since they hyped Doomsday so much. Also, making an all-out Supes that powerful is pretty in-line with Pak's MO isn't it?

Not to mention Morrison writing him as able to kill Superman which was again referenced in this issue.

Its just OWAW all over again IMO.

Can't see Diana slicing through any of the previous incarnations either and even if she did, this Doomsday was hellava damaged afterwards...laying on the ground coughing up blue mucous.

The sword which can cleave atoms? And which DD dissolved in a panel?

😂

Right, cue to: "Doomsday isn't durable at all, he just heals, so really, the feat wasn't THAT impressive." Right haters?

So yeah, I think it is quite logical to assume that 'Doomed' DD was nerfed relative to, say, 'H/P' DD. Don't get me wrong, though: 'Doomed' DD was definitely a top-tier character.

Coming from carter who d1ck rides every damn showing Hulk has even when its not impressive......

On one hand I see what you are saying and I have always said that I don't think the Nu52 version or Supes and Doomsday are at the power levels of the Pre-boot versions. On the other hand, this showing and the descriptions that have taken place have started to change my mind. But, that's Pak for you.

I'm not debating the substantial lip-service this iteration of DD was given. However, he was certainly no H/P Doomsday... Not even close. That's really all I'm saying.

And this DD was above top tiers.

uhuh

So, what other characters do you guys think Supes could rip in half if he thought they were just a mindless raging beast? 😉 I kid Carver, I kid....maybe.
