Superman is still in the early stages of this mutation. We don't know how much stronger he is, if at all. He was strong enough to fight the virus or whatever.

Once it fully kicks in, he's supposed to get massively more powerful. Enough to take on multiple high heralds it seems.

What High Heralds will he be taking on?

Wonder Woman will be an obvious choice for DoomsdaySuperman, both cuffed and uncuffed, but, unless I miss my guess, there's a real strong suggestion of DCnU Sodam Yat here ...

A lot of the DCU is getting involved in this storyline. Swamp Thing being one. Superdoom vs Swamp Thing would be awesome if it happens.

Which makes me curious how Starlin is going to handle Thanos/Mephisto in the annual

No Bracers Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday Superman? Should be interesting. This is either going to be Carver's favorite issue of the year or his most hated.

I remember when a certain poster who may or may not be related to my sig was arguing that just because other writers like Soule did not have Wonder Woman removing her bracers, it was not a recognized power up that should be applied when discussing power levels.

Or something.

Lol.


Yeah, because covers don't ever lie. Anyway, Wonder Woman is getting a huge amp by being God of War and is going to take on every hero on earth by the solicits of SM/WW.

So meh.

Hey Abhi I'm all for sweet feats, but there's a reason why that wasn't wanked to hell around these boards.

It was stated in the book that "the satellite's falling towards earth!" right after Steel and Huntress caused a global systems failure. Pak not remembering the particulars is just that. So if he did push, he did not exert much strength if any since it was further described as "going to crash in the arctic" anyway.

Now if he had to push it away from earth, it'd be wank worthy.

Just sayin...


Throwing a pluto size planet which was going to destroy earth is always a good feat, when you consider he was exposed to kryptonite just before that.

Nah, Superman outright said he'll continue to get stronger:

Didn't even the solicits for Action Comics note the virus exponentially increasing his strength?

I mean, if he gets Doomsday's power added to his own, that would be a huge boost.

It's a strength amp, sure, but on a more general level it's not Superman being amped.

When you say "amped Superman" you don't think of him as being turned in to Doomsday; you think of him sundipped etc.

I know it's semantics, i'm just wary of certain people in this thread throwing around the term like its the same thing as him with all of his faculties but stronger.

Yup, it's clearly an amp. Pretty large one, considering Doomsday's powerset.

WORLD BREAKER SUPERMAN!!

The funny thing is that Rage failed to mention is that Diana is going to fight Brainiac, not Superman.

On sale JULY 30 • 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US • RATED T
Only an Annual could contain this chapter of “SUPERMAN: DOOMED”! It’s an all-out assault by the heroes of Earth (superpowered and not) on the God of War, Wonder Woman, who’s leading the charge against all manner of alien attackers. The monstrous Superman smashes through everything friend or foe as his de-evolution reaches a critical stage. It all leads to their best hope: the Phantom Zone?!

On an interesting note, it seems like Kryptonite would rain down on earth.

Thanks!

If there's one thing I can count on nearly every time I visit this thread, it's abhi/Rage engaging in pages-long arguments. Getting SO phucking old. srsly

^Those are some godawful monikers for the both of them.

Edit: You sneaky sleazy b@stard.

Lol still adjusting to this phone. 😛

It's no mystery, Mephisto is either gonna be verbally humiliated and shown up by Thanos or Thanos will beat him in a straight up fight.

Remember how Mephisto raged at Thanos and threatened to kill him? Thanos just turned his back to him and told him to phuck off.
