Was it? That's not cool. Those stories were really fun. Classic early 90's, gritty stuff.

Hey pr or anyone else, do you have a issue number when that happened?

It happened in Superman #22 or 23, it was Byrne's last arc.

Thanks for that.

Thanks, I was asking about Brainiac tho. I found it, Action Comics 866 and the next 4 comics are part of the story. Freakin retcons!! 馃憞

Oh shit, sorry.

Yeah no prob 馃槃

I guess we can now add the new Doomsday, but of course this is new continuity. I doubt DC will have him kill anyone else or at least for a long while. What do you think pr?

No idea. Theyre kinda going out there with him atm. I hope they don't go too far with him too much.

I think he's killed some intelligent alien bugs.

And sentient robots. He didn't consider AI based life forms alive, and destroyed without a second thought.

They killed their Earth, though. Including making it into a burnt out husk, by ripping apart the ozone layer.

I could see why people hate the fact Superman would kill, but I thought Byrne did a really good job making you care about a world that was doomed to disappear one way or another, thanks to Zero Hour.

It was grim and gritty stuff, but not really the senseless, shock jock kind.

He kills Zod doesn't he?

Till this day Superman is still my all time favorite, have/will/always defend him, but sometimes the morals he goes by contradicts themselves.

Case and point, Sacrifice. He ***** and whine about Diana killing Lord, but he was fine with killing Doomsday or Brainiac, or making Darkseid suffer for all eternity in the Source Wall in the Supergirl act.

True Doomsday has no Soul unlike Lord, but doesn't that make Lord the bigger evil? Lord chooses to do the things he did, where as Doomsday never had a choice, he had no conscious of right and wrong.

Well, Daian's pretty bad herself.

She wanted to put Barry in jail and voted him out of the league after he killed Zoom.

Maybe
