Section IV: H/P ("Hunter/Prey") Doomsday


It turns out that Superman was substantially amped when he battled H/P Doomsday--before he even acquired a Mother Box...

A few months before the H/P arc began, a depowered Superman encountered Henshaw in 'Superman' v2 #82. As you can see, Henshaw attempted to kill Supes via blasting him with k-nite, but Eradicator jumped in the way of the blast before it directly touched Supes(essentially sacrificing himself), and the bleed-over energies then passed into Superman himself. After this happened, Supes was not only returned to full power, but he felt better than ever:

"I'm rejuvenated in a way I never thought possible! Something tells me I'll be able to handle anything better than ever!"

Soon thereafter(the same month/year the H/P arc began), it would be revealed that Superman had become immensely more powerful. Examples...

"Just tapped him a little... And he flew back like I hit him with my best haymaker!":

"Even using as little effort as possible, I'm still stronger...faster...and more powerful than ever before!":

Hamilton explains Superman's amp...

"You're absorbing solar radiation--and other energies--much faster than ever before! This is because you've been irradiated by something vaguely familiar to Kryptonite--call it Kryptonite-X."

Superman: "The last time I was exposed to Kryptonite, it passed through the Eradiactor first... Recharging my powers instantly!"

Hamilton: "A bit of foreshadowing there, I'd say. Bluntly, there's no physical way to expend your energy fast enough. Your powers will keep increasing until your body can't contain them.":

His power increase was ambiguously alluded to during the H/P arc itself...

I'm better than before, too! Stronger.":

However, his hugely amplified power during the H/P arc would be flat-out stated years later, in 'The Man of Tomorrow' #9...

"After his recovery, [Superman] was stronger than ever. Good thing, too--'cause Doomsday had cheated death as well! Even with the extra power, he still needed some gizmo called a 'Mother Box' to help him stand up to Doomsday.":

In a nutshell: Superman was massively amped when the H/P arc began(to the point that he could use as little effort as possible, and was still more powerful than he was at his standard levels), yet was laughably inferior to H/P Doomsday. He then further amped his powers with a Mother Box, and was still barely able to give DD pause.

That is a huge testament to how f*cking powerful Doomsday was during that arc. FAR more powerful than I'd previously thought, tbh.

I need some clarity here. Is Thor thinking straight, or is this B&T Thor? The only reason that he did not ramp up that fast during B&T was due to his disposition at the time. B&T Thor would eventually win IMO. A sane Thor with the Power Gem would break every bone in DD's body, and then turn him to ash, which would then be blown away by a super storm.

Sure.


Superman was already amped to an insane degree in H/P. He was further amped by a mother box.



Doomsday still treated him like a child. So yeah, he would rip Thor apart when Thor was only drawing power from the gem subconsciously. And spare me the nonsense that nobody can KO a gem wielder, Drax got KTFO in the very same arc.

Did Thanos try hard though? I don't remember the fight. It looked like Thanos was all "Meh I'm not going to waste my time and energy fighting this dumbass" and pulled out his gun.

are you kidding ? Thanos was physically trying to put him down and hitting him withdouble handed energy blasts, one he realised he was having no effect he used a plot device.

nice lowball using Drax as a example, again you have proof on THOR been able to be put down. Did you notice no one could ko Thor or even steal the gem from him.

Nothing Thanos did was able to harm or stop via energy or physical attacks.

Can someone give me those issue references?

Also it will be nice if we can make up our mind to weather thos was in wm during b and t or not, because I see people trying to spin this argument into an hypothetical thor with a pg
