Up until that point in time,do you recall Darkseid ever failing to erase anything that he tried to erase with his omega beams? I can only recall him failing against Galactus, which probably isn't even canon. We wouldn't want to go there if it were canon if you know what I mean? If not don't worry about it, has nothing to do with the thread. In my opinion Darkseid jobbed because Doomsday is not and has never been an essential element ln the universe. According to canon, Doomsday was supposed to have been erased, and never to be seen again. Plot is the only thing that saved him. We know that Doomsday has never been a near omnipotent being. We saw this during OWAW for example, which brings me back to the point that he should have been erased, unless the Darkseid that we saw was simply an avatar, which is very likely.
I read people making reference to the missiles that Superman was unable to harm, while Darkseid wiped them out with ease. I wouldn't play that up to mean that Superman would not have been able to defeat that particular version of Darkseid in a fight though, just that his powers were more suitable of getting rid of the missiles than Superman's powers were. IMO, Hunter Prey cared very little about continuity. It seemed to be a means of tying up loose ends even if the writer made a giant mess out of things.
As powerful as Doomsday was during Hunter Prey, I still view him as a one trick pony in comparison to King Thor. In a comic where King Thor would be able to use all of the power at his disposal, I can't see Doomsday winning this, nor do I see King Thor overly exerting himself to get rid of him. I hold this stance because I have no reason to believe that King Thor would need to get into a physical confrontation with Doomsday, just as Imperiex didn't have to.
