Be interesting to see what GR would do once he realized that like himself DD comes back except he improves each time he does so next time PS won't work. Wonder how GR would react to that.

DD has been beaten to death repeatedly, it only takes more of the same.

When he "evolves" past punches, I'll believe it.

Depends on the version. Current DD doesn't seem to possess as potent an adaptation ability as H/P DD.H/P DD had evolved past punches. H/P DD was never beaten by punches, at least not the kind that someone like Superman could deliver. He had evolved beyond that point. H/P DD was destroyed by a Galactus level being hitting him with pure entropy. All subsequent DDs have been inferior duplicates.
How did he returned after that anyways? I missed the explanation for this.
EDIT: I guess your edit explains it

Right, but shouldnt he be more powerfull now than in HP? Isn't that how he's supposed to work? and wasn the original DD rescued from entropy at the end of time? and there was a huge string of boring stories with him getting feelings and losing feelings and getting punched to death again and again and again?
Originally posted by Parmaniacthe timeline is really confusing and I read the stories out of their original order, but I think brainiac has him picked up up so he could download into his body, but it backfires

Demons are sentient beings most versions of DD are not sentient beings.I see no conclusive evidence that the penance stare would work on non sentient Doomsday.
You didn't even read the post I was replying to, he thought guilt was why the PS works, it isn't.

He was released for the Imperiex War where he ragestomped a bunch of Probes before getting one-shotted by Imperiex-Prime with a blast of entropy. As far as we know had it not been for outside intervention (Lex Luthor) DD wouldn't have regenerated from Imperiex's blast.
Only a skeleton remained, a skeleton which Lex Luthor regenerated using some of Superman's DNA, ergo the new DD was imperfect. For an example think of Jurrassic Park where the Dinosaurs looked like the real thing but weren't because the geneticists had used frog DNA to reconstitute them. Same applies here.
So no, the version of DD known as H/P DD has never been beaten with punches.
