Bertron is a overarching antagonist of the DC Universe . He was an ancient alien scientist who experimented on the planet Krypton thousands of years in the past, intending to create the ultimate lifeform through cloning and accelerated evolution. Although his experiments were successful, he would prove unable to control his creation, Doomsday , resulting in his demise.
He serves as the overarching antagonist of The Death of Superman , Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey , Emerald Knight , and Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! .
Biography [ ]
Bertron's experiments were intended to create the "perfect" life form and involved him releasing a humanoid infant onto a primordial Krypton, which killed the baby due to its hostile environment. Bertron then cloned the infant and continually released it back onto Krypton where it died in agony, over and over. Each time Bertron brought it back he made it slightly stronger but also made sure every moment of its former life was coded into its genes. This meant Doomsday remembered every death it suffered and grew to hate life as a result.
Eventually, Bertron's madness succeeded, and Doomsday evolved to survive Krypton and went on a rampage, killing all of Krypton's ancient predators before pursuing Bertron and murdering its creator (and tormentor) once and for all.
Unfortunately for the universe, Bertron's legacy would continue as Doomsday went on a universal crusade to murder life, having been driven insane by Bertron's cruelty. Thus, resulting in the countless deaths of various beings.
