Doomsday - The Superman Villain behind the Death of Superman
Do you want to know what there is about Doomsday? Your chance is finally here. Doomsday made his first appearance on Superman, The Man Of Steel, in 1992. Doomsday was a creation by a scientist from an alien world, trying to create the perfect life form. The process which created Doomsday was the most pity invoking of all Superman villains.
During Krypton's most violent time, as an infant, he was put out in the horrific atmosphere to die. He then died as a baby, and was harvested again with whatever was left, to only die again.
Perfection was the goal of this madness, as each time he died and recreated, he came closer to perfection. Doomsday would forever carry the memory of these deaths and eventually force him to detest all living things.
For this most menacing of Superman villains, defeating the entire Justice League was achieved easily, and this caught Superman's attention. He was so powerful, that he was able to defeat the team with one hand bound behind him.
Maxima was the only one of the bunch who could have any chance of defending herself against Doomsday. Once Superman and Doomsday meet, they are ready to battle. Much unlike other Superman villains, Doomsday was more than a match for Superman, and in one battle, they both fought hard and long, with Superman taking serious damage and losing strength quickly. Both of them would continue to fight, neither would concede.
Then, in a historic moment of superhero comic book legends, Doomsday and Superman strike each other at the same time, causing an unforgettable and history making event. This is where the 'death of Superman' came in at.
At that point, a Cyborg took Doomsday to a place farway, never to return again, so they thought. It was just one more 'death' that this villain would overcome.
