Unstoppable rage. You can't reason with it. It's only purpose is destruction and death!
„
~ Death of Superman's tagline about Doomsday.
“
Amazing. A creature who's traveled light years through space and survived a catastrophic entry to Earth. The Blue Bog Scout could have some competition.
Doomsday is the main antagonist of the 2018 animated superhero film, The Death of Superman. He was a living biological weapon created by Darkseid and was sent to Earth through a Boom Tube to kill the strongest beings on Earth, like Superman and the Justice League to pave the way for an invasion.
At some point, Darkseid had created Doomsday as a weapon using Kryptonian DNA and solar energy for one singular purpose, to wipe out all life on Earth and kill Superman for Darkseid. Darkseid then indoctrinated Doomsday into despising Superman before encasing him inside an asteroid that he had launched onto Earth via a Boom-Tube.
Hank Henshaw's crew then received a transmission saying that an asteroid containing Doomsday was going to hit the Excalibur space shuttle unless Henshaw and the crew escaped, unaware that they were being monitored by Lex Luthor. Henshaw believed that Superman would come to rescue him and his crew from the asteroid, but meteorites from the asteroid begin to hit the shuttle, killing the crew and Terri, leaving only Henshaw left. The asteroid then crashed against the ship, destroying the shuttle and killing Henshaw upon re-entry.
The asteroid then crash-landed in the Atlantic Ocean, both Lex Luthor and Aquaman sent people in to investigate the crash. However, Doomsday soon broke loose and began to immediately kill the Aquaman's Atlantean soldiers and the Luthor's exploration team. Arriving at the surface, Doomsday then goes on a killing spree slaughtering any living thing he came in contact with including a grizzly bear and two young campers in the woods. As Doomsday heads for Metropolis, he is confronted by the police, however, Doomsday kills all the police officers. Eventually, the Justice League arrives and Martian Manhunter's telepathy reveals the creature to be a living weapon full of rage and is designed to annihilate entire civilizations. Even with their combined efforts, Doomsday brutally beats the Justice League, except Wonder Woman being the last Leaguer standing until Doomsday defeats her too and was about to kill her with her broken sword until Superman came to the rescue.
Superman and Doomsday began to fight an incredible battle throughout Metropolis. However despite Superman's best efforts Doomsday slowly manages to overpower Superman. Lois Lane, reporting live by helicopter with her cameraman, Jimmy Olsen, is spotted by Doomsday and he prepares to destroy the helicopter until Superman stops Doomsday and saves Lois and Jimmy. Soon enough, a battle-suited Lex Luthor joins the fight against Doomsday, aiming to become Metropolis' "true savior", but he is incapacitated and saved by Superman. Their battle eventually ended up in the Hall of Justice which left the Hall destroyed.
Doomsday emerged from the rubble wrapping Superman's cape around his neck repeatedly stomping on his head on the ground. Realizing the toll the battle has taken on Superman, Lois attempts to sacrifice herself to Doomsday by throwing stones at the creature to distract it. As Doomsday prepares to kill Lois with her final words being, "I got your note and I love you too", Superman at the last moment drew all the strength that he had left and hurls himself directly at Doomsday and breaks his neck, but is fatally stabbed in the chest with one of his bone claws, and dies in Lois' arms.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Doomsday's body was then taken into custody where days later, an exonerated Lex Luthor attempted to gain custody of Doomsday's body for Project Cadmus for examination and research purposes, but the STAR Labs director, Doctor Corbow refused Lex's request telling him that they will keep Doomsday's body until the government can launch it into space. While they talked, Superman's rocket suddenly self-starts and flies away.
Reign of the Supermen (2019)[]
When a revived and partially re-powered Superman confronts Cyborg Superman, the latter reveals that Darkseid had sent Doomsday as a mindless assassin, whereas he was sent to ruin Superman's legacy.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War[]
Doomsday's genetic structure is combined with Parademons, which created an unstoppable army serving Darkseid which were referred to as Paradooms.
Personality[]
“
Batman: Can you tell what he is thinking? Martian Manhunter: No real thoughts. It's all aggression, all about the fight. A killing machine.
„
~ Batman and Martian Manhunter discussing Doomsday's way of thinking.
Doomsday can be described as a pure incarnate of killing, bloodlust, and destruction as the only purpose his existence is to kill any lifeform that he encounters regardless of whether it is dangerous to him or not. He demonstrates anger and rage in certain situations like when is insulted and when Superman ties him up on the bridge. He also is shown to be aware of his abilities and being able to use them precisely.
Doomsday possesses a very primitive mind, although does demonstrates a certain degree of intelligence such as by using things in his surroundings as projectile weapons or wanting to kill Wonder Woman using her own sword. He developed an interest in and strong grudge against Superman as he was the only one who managed to go toe-to-toe with him and also had a Kryptonian background, like Doomsday.
While murdering any and all life he encountered, he appeared to instinctively aim for the strongest opponent, as when fighting Superman, he ignored other people. Though should Superman take a break from exhaustion, he would revert to killing every sapient life.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Superhuman Strength: Doomsday possesses an incredible level of superhuman strength, superior to even Superman, allowing him to shatter Green Lantern's constructs, and effortlessly stand his ground against the entire Justice League. He was capable to gravely injuring Superman during their battle with pure brute strength - while Superman has experienced injuries before, they were from kryptonite or magic, whereas Doomsday hurt him with physical power alone.
Gradual Strength Increase: The longer he fought, the more powerful he became, as he was able to overpower every enemy, even if originally delayed by fighting them.
Superhuman Reflexes: Doomsday possessed incredible reflexes, fast enough to knock down the Flash moving at superhuman speed.
Superhuman Stamina: Doomsday doesn’t show any sign of exhaustion after battling the Justice League, Lex Luthor, and Superman from day to night nonstop.
Nigh-Invulnerability: Doomsday is able to withstand virtually and kind of physical punishment. He was able to withstand the full might of the Justice League with barely any visible damage. Lex Luthor's Warsuit, while gaining an upper hand against Doomsday, still could only scratch him. The Trident of Poseidon is shown to be capable to stun Doomsday. Ultimately, only Superman's final blow managed to snap his neck and kill him.
Heat Vision: Doomsday's heat vision is so powerful that it can make the invulnerable Superman bleed. However, it seems to be painful for him.
Bone Protrusions: Doomsday's body is covered sharp bone protrusions that grow larger and sharper as he grows stronger. They’re sharp enough to injure Superman.
Immunity to Environment: From the vacuum of space to underwater for hours, he never suffered ill-affects from radiation, extreme temperatures, lack of air (showing he didn't need air to breathe), or pressure from significant ocean depths
Abilities[]
Master Combatant: Despite his primitive mind, Doomsday has shown to be extremely lethal opponent. Using his overwhelming strength and savage ruthlessness, he was able to easily defeat and nearly kill several members of Justice League, put Wonder Woman to critical condition with few punches, and fight with Superman non-stop for many hours, having upper hand most of the time and ultimately kill him in the end.
Tactical Awareness: He was able to discern an enemy's weakness, whether it be physical or psychological, such as when he seemed to be aware that Wonder Woman's sword could cut her, or when he aimed an attack at Batman to lure Martian Manhunter into his clutches by tricking him into becoming tangible again.
Weaknesses[]
Kryptonite: As he was made from Superman's DNA, he suffers from the same weakness as Kryptonite is able to weaken and could have killed him; his resistance seemed higher than Superman, but it would have still eventually killed him.
Lethal Damage: While he was absurdly durable, an injury severe enough could kill him, as shown by his neck being snapped by Superman. He may have also died from decapitation or his heart being destroyed.

Trivia[]
In the comics, Doomsday is an unkillable and virtually unstoppable monster who despises all life and desires to eradicate it. He was experimented on as an infant by a scientist named Bertron who wanted to create the ultimate lifeform by adapting it to survive in any environment no matter how hostile. He also is infamous for being one of the only villains in DC history that have successfully killed Superman but was also killed too. He was later revived and became a frequent enemy of Superman and the Justice League.
The creature was unnamed until Lois Lane dubbed him Doomsday in a news report.
His look most closely recalls the original comics and New 52 appearance, with his traits of progressively growing spikier as the fight wears on and having eye beams taken from the DC Extended Universe incarnation. Justice league Dark: Apokolips War later revealed that he was a clone of Superman, much like his DC Animated Universe counterpart was.
