The Asgardian Destroyer vs Darkseid...

Sorry for the double post, but can someone explain how Doomsday from Hunter Prey got right back up after Darkseid's blast? Can you also explain why if Doomsday was killed during that arc with Darkseid, why was this time different from the other two times that he was killed, which took him months to reform?

Does anyone believe that Doomsday was killed by Darkseid's blast, or was he just momentarily stunned? Sorry I've always wondered, and wanted to get an unbiased opinion.

I always thought he was killed, and I read that arc when I was 17 and didn't know crap about Darkseid...

1. Explain him getting up so quickly there, when he was unable to do so after his battle with Superman during DOS?

2. If you believe that he evolved to a point that he could rise immediately from death, explain in a later story why it took him so long to come back, after Imperiex turned him into a skeleton.

It doesn't add up when you think about it in terms of continuity. You know what I mean?

@Stoic

I honestly believe that HP Doomsday was only stunned by the Omega Effect...

Originally, the Omega Effect was written to be Darkseids "ace in the hole" attack; it was supposed to be just as unstoppable as the Ultimate Nullifier (except against beings considered to be essential to the universe of course)...

Over the years, however, the Omega Effect has been written down further and further; its still a very powerful attack, but its nothing compared to what it was originally intended to be...
