Doomsday's adaptation powers mark a clear distinction between he and Hulk.
Funny enough, the adaption power is something that Grundy shares as well, sometimes when he comes back he had some new traits or powers.
DD adaption is unique though and better than of Hulk or Grundy, it is more refined, as in being immune to what killed him before.
So we have the archetype, Grundy, who dies and comes back to life, sometimes with a new power or new personality. But he is only Grundy he has no alter Ego.
Than came the Hulk, he is like Grundy but also differen't, his adaption is rather inferior and he has an alter Ego.
And here is DD, he does not have an alter ego like Hulk and he dies and comes back stronger, evolved.
DD is not a copy of Hulk but of Grundy, because of their powersets, their fable of coming back from the dead and their lack of an alter ego. Hulk is a copy of Grundy and the Mr. Hyde theme.
