Shaking my head.

Who said they equalize in power when arriving in fourth world? Only the size of characters change. Darkseid has created new realities on earth too and has infused Batman with enough energy to destroy the ****ing universe.

But hey, characters' feats don't matter when it suits marvel fanboys.

Doomsday wasn't boom tubed there . He showed up and straight pwned. The writer who penned it also said Darkseid isn't very powerful and would lose ten out of ten to Doomsday.

This is the writers intention of Hp. 🙂

When did Darkseid create pocket realities? How big were they?

Also its not just a one time feat, Darkseid created several realities to torture Shilo Norman.

These were fully formed realities as you can see characters like Superman, Captain Marvel dying and what not.

But apparently they are just space cheese.

Not pocket realities. Full formed seeing how there are characters like Captain Marvel, superman, wonder woman existing in those realities.

Hulk has also been incapable of beating Thor in like 15 slugfests despite being totally angry except LTBB. Thor doesn't get stronger either, that's a better comparison than destroying inanimate objects. Otherwise Doomsday has beaten a planetful of beings each of who can create UNIVERSES. Universe>>>>....................Planets. Don't you agree?
Franklin Richards can create universes too, does that mean that beating him up physically is some majorly impressive feat?

This is also very important with regards to writers intent to Doomsday and the threat he was and for the reasoning behind it.

DAN JURGENS: Yeah. Yeah.

Here’s a secret: I use competitive athletics as logic for how superhero fights and battles take place. You see this all the time . . . take a very-well established team. A new team, that supposedly has no chance to win, comes into town and beats their [butt]. And why does it happen? It’s because the supposed stronger, better team takes it for granted that they are going to win and [underestimates] the tactics that their opponent is using. It happens all the time.

I apply that to superheroes, as well. I think that with the first contact with Doomsday, the entire Justice League, and certainly Superman, were slow to realize exactly what they were dealing with. First [Doomsday] was just a guy marching through the wilderness. We called him a force of nature, and that’s really how we saw him at the time-but there was that slowness to react.

Add to that that Superman has side concerns at the same time-he’s going to save this block of the city, he’s going to save this kid from falling out the window, this kid from dying in the fire-and it makes [beating Doomsday] difficult.

Just wanted to say, Doomsday survived being hit by an attack so powerful, it tore a hole in space:

Knocked him out, sure.....but you can bet he will survive the next attack of that type.

Yawn, ripping a hole in space is so September 10th. Hulk has tanked attacks strong enough to destroy planets, punches strong enough to tear apart reality, and attacks that destroyed dimensional barriers.

Franklin Richards is a reality warper, New Gods aren't. But he has some uber durability feats too.

If you guys aren't going to actually speak about writer intent, but instead constantly either twist things or just post feats, you're going to be warned, and the thread will be closed. This is the last warning you get.

Ok.

Ok. Writer intent, however, was that he was the Ultimate. The Omega Beast. He would survive entropy at the end of the universe blah blah.

Hulk is the strongest there is. However, based off Pak's and other's intents, the monster still has his own personality and intelligence - and this monster reins himself in and places controls on himself.

Drop Doomsday on Marvel Earth, and have all the other heroes stand back, and Doomsday will eventually win. Hulk does not kill, and Hulk does not let himself go. He lets loose only when its Mindless Ones, or when he knows the characters he kills will come back. Per writers' intentions, although he is the strongest there is, it is very rare we will see WBH again outside of extreme circumstances (after all, he was being tooled by Thanos et al and WBH did not make an appearance).

Doomsday, however, was intended to be an engine of destruction. He does not hold back, and lives only to kill and win his fights. He has an ADHD approach to fights because he simply moves on after he's beaten someone. With Hulk, he will stick around and fight it out.

Either it ends in a stalemate, as Jax said, or Doomsday wins.

I agree with most of this.

Though if you applied the same mentality to Hulk (Mindless/Bannerless Hulk, HOTM) I don't see how Doomsday is going to stop the him in all honesty.

Forum fights don't have the risk of collateral damage, tho, so the "holding back" mindset might not be in play on this scenario at all. Also, I feel like "eventually" is more Hulk's forte than DD's. A prolonged fight will serve Hulk's amping than it would DD's adapting, least IMI.

It just comes down to: can DD take out Hulk before he amps up too much?

I can agree with both of these. Yes, Sorrow, a VERY strong case can be made for Mindless/Bannerless/HOTM Hulk just straight up punching Doomsday to death, but there is a shred of doubt in my mind whether it would be to the extent that he would be out of it for a sufficiently long time.

And yes, Nibby, drop them both on a desolate planet, and tell an intelligent Hulk (Green Scar, but NOT Indestructible Hulk) that Doomsday is a punching bag whom he can unleash on, and he will take it. He ramps up in a matter of moments, so can take Doomy out in a short time.

Yeah. It's basically Hulk's constantly growing power vs Doomsdays adaptation and ability to become more powerful after death.

Yes, it was Bertron's intent to create the "Ultimate", but IIRC Doomsday killed him before he reached that level, so it would appear that Doomsday is still a work in progress. Had he been the "Ultimate" before killing him Doomsday wouldn't have been defeated by the GL's, Radiant, Superman, etc. It would seem to me that in Order for Doomsday to truly become the "ULTIMATE" he would have to be killed in every conceivable way first. Only then would he truly be The "Ultimate". Having read all of Doomsday's pre-reboot showings I can think of a few different ways that Doomsday has yet to be killed, many of which would be well within the realm of possibility for someone with a well established written history of both destroying the seemingly indestructible and getting stronger over the course of a prolonged fight.

I see two possible problems with that. The first being, that if forum rules apply, then Hulk would have a general knowledge regarding Doomsday. To me that means the same knowledge that the JLA, Darkseid, and various other super-beings have regarding Doomsday. Part of that basic knowledge would be knowing about Doomsday's durability and adaptability, so Hulk would have no reason to hold back. The second possibility is that Hulk would quickly figure out first hand that he doesn't need to hold back against Doomsday.

Again, I have to respectfully disagree. That would run contrary to how Doomsday has consistently behaved in the past. He doesn't stick around to finish the job. He beats people up, then goes on his merry little way looking for other targets. The fight doesn't continue until they re-engage him. For example, we no that Doomsday is drawn to Kryptonians, but when he finally encountered one vis-a-vis Superman, after attacking the Man of Steel he didn't simply stick around and fight until Superman was dead. H/P was the same way. Doomsday didn't attack Superman and the pursue him in an attempt to follow up his attacks. Superman went to him. I see no reason to expect that he wouldn't fight Hulk the same way.
