Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosDNA tampering or devolving I don't think would work, if he didn't have a counter already, he'd develop one on the fly. Hell, he backfired Waverider's own energy on him when he tried to shut down Doomsday's nervous system, and almost killed him with his own power by ripping his physical form apart.
MatterManip him to DNAless slag. He can't even come back.RealityManip cannot be adapted to (unless you're the Fury)
Reality manipulation, maybe, that's a real tough power to make a case against, but he could possibly evolve past it's basic principal. Such as if the reality manip is magic based, he could evolve past the magic. Lobo even evolved past magic attacks, and he's not on Doomsday's level when it comes to such.

So, you're saying that no one's ever tried to re-write his DNA?And that you have no real evidence that it WOULDN'T work?
But that it just wouldn't 😐.
Uhhh....okay. 😕 .
He's already been rewritten millions of times. It's how he got his powers. DNA tampering won't work. it only makes him stronger and more resistant.

First wouldn't work, outside of physical fighting it seems no power works effectively twice.Wouldn't work, he'd backfire his power and drop Surfer.
why would DD be able to 'backfire' Surfer's dna rewriting?
would DD even be aware that the process was happening?
oh and back on topic, how about magic? magic can be classed as a "method" can't it? the spells may do different things each time, but they'd still be the "same way" 😕.

his DNA evolves around the weaknesses exploited. it writes itself, that means it can be written to and that it will run with whatever changes are made.
imagine also, some brilliant geneticist who, realising that DD's dna learns and adapts, decided to force it to adapt counter-strategies and powers that actually inhibit DD overall.
it's basically interacting with the world around it, so somebody should be able to program the dna to do things that disadvantage it.
but all that's just messy, easier to say that Surfer rewrites the dna to neutralise its adaptive quality.

Superman could bore DD to death. just go off on one about Truth, Justice and the American Way (Banana Republic style).
or Surfer, contemplating the futility of existence and how terribly alone we all are... I'm sure if DD doesn't kill him (and obviously he shouldn't be able to), then he'll kill himself!
ooh, Doom could trick DD into killing himself, twice. if not more often.
