Sometimes we can / have to extrapolate.

Also, you still didn't tell me why he has a crack head body.

It also makes him become stronger

And with DD, it actually easier to argue his future self is stronger/more durable, as he can't be defeated the same way twice.
He also would only come back stronger with each death

His appearance changed because he evolved...like he literally stated in there

He is indeed. He's from the 2000s, Savage appeared in like the 1960s.

I thought that was Doomsday's entire thing - he evolves so that the same attack will never kill him twice. And it would need more/a different attack to kill him again.

That's literally his power.

Yes, change because he evolves to immune to be defeated by the same way twice....like, it literally in the same sentence

Wait, wasn't he already killed by punches? So Superman is going to kill him again the same way? Doesnt this contradict being immune to what defeated you before? Make it make sense

It needs more energy to take down Doomsday as Doomsday becomes stronger/immune to the previous attacks.
It's like the whole point in the Hunter/Prey series, which the recent comics referred. And a point it gets stated in the recent comics multiple times

Show me where this is referenced. Are you saying if a 50 tonner killed Doomsday and someone who can lift 100 tons fought him, there's a chance he could die?

Yes. That's exactly how it works. If a 50 tonner punched and killed him, he's now immune to 50 ton strength level punches.

A 100 ,ton level guy would still kill him.

The Radiant on Calaton took him out once. When he tried the same attack again, Doomsday just took it.

And I thought it would be pretty obvious for anyone who read the comics

That's not what was told over the years. People tend to say Doomsday is immune to physical damage because he died by Superman punching him to death.

He's immune to Superman's level of physical damage (unless Superman releases his mental blocks lol), but not all physical damage. After all, a group of Kryptonians beat him to death. In Infinite Crisis, Superman WITH Superman-2 beat him up:

so....yeah. He's still vulnerable to physical damage, it just takes a LOT of physical damage to kill/beat him.

How do you know when Superman releases his mental blocks?

When he achieves something that he was unable to do earlier in the story.

Punching him with 50 tons of strength - if it kills him - doesn't make him immune to 100tons of strength punching him. 55 tons, however, would likely not kill him - it's why DoS Superman had such a hard time with him, because Superman was gradually amping up his strength instead of going all-out for the kill at the start.

It's why every time since, he tries to go in hard and fast.

There have been some things that Doomsday's evolving ability appears to have utterly immunized him from afterwards. Like Radiant's power. Based on how I read Hunter/Prey, it kinda looked like no matter how much more Radiant's power was increased, it wouldn't matter.

GDI, nvm. I didn't actually read the latest issue of Superman vol.3 #23 until now. Looks like the new Radiant was actually hurting Doomsday. If Doomsday was immunized from Radiant's power, he wouldn't be hurt at all:

Disregard the above post.

Anyway, I think we all agree that Doomsday has never evolved being punched to death... so far.
