because dd is too strong for him to beat down. 😐as was shown, adam was put on the ropes by hawkman--and he'd have been ko'd had he not stopped the beating. dd is MORE savage then even this adam, stronger than anyone adam faced, as fast as anyone and FAR more durable. you really think adam would have beat down superman had he been there and been trying? not this guy....
as for magic punches--still don't see it being a difference maker. dd can adapt very quickly. i think dd took time to raise his strength because superman raised his own efforts only very slowly. i don't see adam overwhelming dd at all, and after a couple punches dd would have figured it out. also, those punches may have been amped against prime, but they didn't do anything. and i don't think dd would have any magic weakness to begin with anyway. to win, adam would need to ko him almost immediately. there has never been any indication that ANY herald could be capable of doing that to doomsday. least not imo.
DD fought a much weaker Superman and died. Adam IS on a more powerful Superman's level. CURRENT Superman's level. If the latest version of Superman would've fought DOS DD, he would not have had as hard of a time as he did during DOS. I don't think you understand that the Superman DD fought is one of the weakest Superman in existence after the Pre Crisis era. Hell, scenes during the DOS story proves this. You're either low balling Adam or high balling Doomsday. If DOS Superman can kill Doomsday, I have no doubts that Adam would merk him. Also, using Hawkman as a high or average for Adam is as low as it can get, especially with you not taking into consideration the things that the same Superman that fought Doomsday was stalemated or beaten by. Let's not nitpick please because I can post scans of the characters mentioned here doing worse than what Adam did against Hawkman.
