### Type of Villain

Bio-Engineered Monster

**Doomsday** is a destructive and primitive Kryptonian creature born from genetic experimentation that appears as the final antagonist of the 2016 DC Extended Universe film *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* and as a flashback antagonist in 2021's *Zack Snyder's Justice League*.

There are in fact two Doomsdays; the original Doomsday bio-engineered by Bertron during the Last War at Krypton and recreated version of the beast by the criminal mastermind Lex Luthor in order to kill Superman inspired by the former.

He was voiced/portrayed by Robin Atkin Downes, who also voiced Abomination in *Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United*, Deathstroke in *Beware the Batman* through motion capture, Travis Touchdown in the *No More Heroes* series and Medic in *Team Fortress 2*.

*"Ancient, Kryptonian deformity. Blood of my blood, born to destroy you! Your Doomsday!"*
―Lex Luthor to Superman[src]
The **desecration without name**, referred to as Superman's "**Doomsday**" by his maker, was the corpse of the Kryptonian General Dru-Zod, mutated and reanimated by Lex Luthor using his own human genetic sample in *Scout Ship 0344*'s genesis chamber. The long-forbidden, ancient process was used for the sole purpose of killing Superman.

Capable of apocalyptic levels of destruction, Doomsday's might necessitated the combined forces of Wonder Woman, Superman, and the Batman to take him down. He was ultimately killed by Superman at the end of their fierce brawl, albeit at the cost of his own life as well.

**The Ultimate**, better known as **Doomsday**, is an incredibly powerful supervillain and a major antagonist of the DC Universe, first appearing as the main antagonist of *The Death of Superman*. He is infamous for being the first villain in *DC Comics* history to successfully kill the Man of Steel himself, Superman.

He is an unkillable and virtually unstoppable monster created by the alien scientist, Bertron, who despises all life and desires to eradicate it. He is considered to be one of Superman's arch-nemeses, among the likes of Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Brainiac, Zod and Ultra-Humanite.

Since his debut, Doomsday would often reappear in different story arcs, either serving as one of main antagonists or a supporting antagonist in many story arcs and events. He has consistently remained as a powerful foe for both Superman and the Justice League.

## Personality

### Bertron's Doomsday

Not much is known about the original Doomsday but, it can be inferred that the monster is just as deadly and violent as its successor Luthor's Doomsday.

### Luthor's Doomsday

Doomsday is an extremely violent, ferocious, and aggressive being with an insatiable bloodlust, which makes him a threat of apocalyptic proportions. Hence, when describing Doomsday to Lex Luthor, it claimed that the monster was so hateful to sight and memory that it would only refer to it as "the desecration without name." However, due to Doomsday's feral mind, he has limited intelligence, being unable to tell the difference between friend and foe, attempting to kill his creator Luthor right after emerging from the Genesis Chamber, and he thus owes allegiance to no one but himself. Therefore, while incredibly dangerous, destructive, and temperamental, Doomsday is relatively quickly outsmarted by Batman. The Caped Crusader baits the monster into following him, which allows Wonder Woman to get a hold of Doomsday with her lasso. Batman momentarily weakens the monster with a Kryptonite gas grenade, giving Superman the opening he needs to deliver the killing blow to Doomsday, with the Kryptonite spear. However, Doomsday's bloodthirstiness allows the monster to seemingly murder Superman in his death throes.

## Biography

The original Doomsday, Bertron's Doomsday, was created by its namesake Kryptonian scientist in order to put an end to Last War, a conflict that took place long prior to Krypton's destruction. Bertron's Doomsday instead caused catastrophic damage and deaths that its creation would forever be deemed a curse to Kryptonian history. In fact, the monster managed to reduce one of Krypton's moons, Wegthor, into several huge chunks. Subsequently, the Council of Krypton managed to defeat Bertron's Doomsday somehow, though that might be not the end of it owing to its immense powers. In the present day, however, a new Doomsday, Luthor's Doomsday, is created by Lex Luthor. After getting permission to access Zod's corpse, Luthor secretly cuts off one of Zod's fingerprints and uses it to activate the Kryptonian ship. There, he accesses the ship's database during which the criminal mastermind learns about the existence of the original Doomsday. Inspired to create one as the contingency plan for his goal of killing Superman if Batman is to fail, Luthor begins the forbidden Kryptonian genetic engineering technique by cutting his own hand and dripping the blood on Zod's corpse that has been inserted into the ship's surviving genesis chamber against the protests from the ship's service android. Luthor's Doomsday is revealed by Luthor when he is confronted by Superman. Upon awakening, the new Doomsday tries punching his creator, but then Superman blocks the punch and their fight begins. Superman and Luthor's Doomsday engage in a fight, and Luthor's Doomsday quickly has the upper hand. The United States military fire missiles upon the monstrosity, who counter reacts by unleashing an electric blast to wipe them out. Superman then hurls Luthor's Doomsday up into outer space, where they are hit by a military-fired missile, to no avail. Batman intervenes using his Batwing and his FN MK 13 grenade launcher and plans to lure Luthor's Doomsday back to Gotham so he can kill it with his Kryptonite spear. Luthor's Doomsday shoots down the Batwing with his eye lasers and prepares to kill Batman until suddenly Wonder Woman shows up and uses her shield to deflect Luthor's Doomsday's heat blasts, just in time for Superman to return from space to hurl Luthor's Doomsday into explosives and therefore the three are united for battle. Luthor's Doomsday quickly gained the upper hand on the three heroes but is finally destroyed when Superman sacrifices himself and impales a spear consisting of pure Kryptonite into Luthor's Doomsday. Desperate to get the spear out of his chest, Luthor's Doomsday impales Superman with one of his spikes in the chest. Despite this, Superman refuses to let Luthor's Doomsday kill any more innocent people and pulls upon another spike (which made the spike go deeper into his chest) so that he can fully push the Kryptonian spear into Luthor's Doomsday, and therefore Luthor's Doomsday was finally killed. Although Superman dies too, he was later revived by the Justice League with one of the Mother Boxes.

## Biography Part 2

Doomsday began his life as a simple child created by the scientist Bertron, who sought to create the ultimate lifeform. Having arrived on an ancient Krypton, Bertron used the planet's hostile environment to essentially hasten its evolution with every cloning. Soon, the baby, now known as The Ultimate, was immune to the harsh environment and had slain the creatures that killed it over and over. It had also developed a deep, burning hatred for Bertron and, when there was nothing left, he finally turned on his creator, slaying him and the other scientists before escaping Krypton. His first stop was the planet Bylan 5, where Darkseid sought to gain the planet via arraigned marriage. However, Doomsday's rampage interrupted this, and before Darkseid could fight him in combat, Darkseid was forced to leave due to the planet becoming toxic. Doomsday hijacked a shuttle, leaving Bylan 5, later crasing into the planet Khundia. His arrival united the warring clans on the planet, who outfitted the warrior Kobold with protective armor in an attempt to lure Doomsday away. The plan worked and Doomsday was left drifting in space after the shuttle he was lured to was destroyed. His drifting would be discovered by a Green Lantern, leading the galactic policeman to be slain and his ring stolen. Other Lanterns attacked him, only to be killed as well. His rampage lead to Oa, where a Guardian of the Universe gave his life to seemingly destroy him. Instead, Doomsday was blown clear across the cosmos, landing on the planet Calaton. Here, Doomsday ravaged the planet for 3 years before the royal family sacrificed their life energies to create their ultimate champion, the Radiant. The energy being defeated Doomsday in combat, seemingly slaying him. As a custom due to him being a mass murderer, he was clothed, masked, shackled and placed in an orb cell and launched into space, ending up on Earth, buried many miles below the surface. Years upon years later, Doomsday would reawaken, free an arm and dig his way out. After killing various wildlife, Doomsday made his way to a highway and began wrecking cars, killing innocent people and getting the Justice League America - Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Fire, Ice, Maxima, Guy Gardner and Bloodwynd - involved. Chasing Doomsday to a LexOil refinery, Doomsday battered Bloodwynd and Gardner before he nearly killed Blue Beetle. Booster attempted to avenge his friend, only to be knocked away and rescued by Superman. As Ice convinced Maxima to save Beetle's life, Ice confronted the beast at a family's house, only to be tossed aside like a ragdoll. Rallying the other Leaguers, Superman got the team to strike Doomsday with their energy attacks, only to learn that all they did with get rid of his bindings. Freed, Doomsday tore apart the League and engulfed the house in flames before escaping. Superman was able to slow down the creature long enough to save those trapped in the house, but Doomsday's rampage continued. Maxima's return proved to be unhelpful as her warrior ways only made the fighting more difficult, leading to her setting off a gas explosion that allowed Doomsday to escape. Doomsday and Superman's battle continued on, tearing through the abandoned Cadmus Project project Habitat and leading into Metropolis. John Henry Irons, the future Steel, and the Matrix Supergirl attempted to help, but were easily taken out of the fight. With no other option, Superman dug his heels in at Metropolis, vowing to stop Doomsday's rampage right then and there. In a brutal show of force, the two combatants gave everything they got before one last mighty blow took them out, temporarily killing Superman. Doomsday's body was first kept in S.T.A.R. Labs before being taken to Cadmus Project, where the Cyborg Superman would retrieve his body and toss him into space, where he would be revealed alive. Arriving on Apokolips, Doomsday wrecked havoc on the planet, confronting and nearly slaying Darkseid in the process. In a panic, Desaad activated a Boom Tube and sent him back to Calaton. Once he arrived, the royal family summoned the Radiant again, however, Doomsday's ability to resist whatever killed him before allowed him to kill the Radiant. Superman and Waverider, confronting the beast, would fare little better and, in desperation, Superman was able to time travel to the end of time, stranding Doomsday and allowing him to be consumed by Entropy. However, thanks to the Zero Hour event, a lackey of Brainiac's was able to rescue Doomsday's body and Brainiac used it to be a new body for him after his old one was killed. He captured a number of JLA members - the Flash, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Plastic Man, Orion, the Martian Manhunter and the Huntress - before turning his attention to Superman, kidnapping the dying child of Pete Ross and Lana Lang. Pete, uncertain of Superman's actual drive to protect his child, had followed him and, after his plane was rescued by Superman, was able to rescue his child, who was being primed for Brainiac to take over, allowing Superman to drive Brainiac out of Doomsday's body and lure Doomsday to the JLA Watchtower, where Superman trapped Doomsday in four teleporters and bounced him across all four, never being able to rebuild himself.

## In Other Media

### *Justice League*

Doomsday is first seen coming out of a rocket, attacking an alternate version of Superman thinking he is the real one, however he ended up lobotomized by the villainous Man of Steel during the fight and defeated. He is later shown in *Justice League Unlimited* as it is revealed Cadmus created him to be superior to Superman and was shown to hate him. However it turns out that he failed they locked him in a rocket and fired him off but he broke out. After he was defeated by the alternate Superman he was taken into Cadmus' custody but he was later freed by Professor Milo learning from his mistakes he attacked the real Superman but was ultimately defeated.

### *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*

*Main article: Doomsday (DC Extended Universe)*
Doomsday appear as the final antagonist of *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* where Lex Luthor had used General Zod's corpse by using Kryptonite to cut his fingerprints so he could gain access to the Kryptonian ship and using both his blood and Zod's remains in conjunction of the ship's genesis chamber in order to create it and unleash it upon Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. This Doomsday is in fact, the re-created version of the original Bertron bio-engineered long ago which may still active somewhere and that his recorded existence within the ship's database was what inspired Luthor for his own monstrosity in the first place. Luthor's Doomsday has a variety of powers that makes him superior to Superman & other Kryptonians. He has the powers of vast superhuman strength, vast superhuman durability, limitless stamina & instantaneous healing. After absorbing enough energy & evolving, he gained levitation, enhanced muscle mass and heat blasts. He is also feral minded & vulnerable to magic and Kryptonite.

## Background

Before Krypton was a utopian world, it was a violent, hellish one in which only the strongest creatures could survive. An alien scientist named Bertron intended on creating the ultimate life form. Many of his experiments were met in failure, however he continued, taking cells from each previous test subject until he was met with success and created Doomsday... who escaped from his custody and went on a killing spree across numerous planets, eventually coming across Earth, where he supposedly killed Superman.

Thus, Lex Luthor creates him for the sole purpose to killing Superman, naming the monster "[Superman's] Doomsday", and claiming that Superman was "as good as dead" if he were to fight his Doomsday. Indeed, the monstrous juggernaut's unparalleled might forced Superman to team up against it with Wonder Woman and Batman in order to stand a chance, yet even that was insufficient, as Luthor's Doomsday's ability to "evolve" and regenerate at a rapid pace made him impossible to be brought down with brute force alone, so while Superman managed to ultimately bring him down (with a Kryptonite spear), he only succeeded by seemingly dying himself in the process Doomsday Has Serval Incredible Physical Attributes Than Other Old Doomsday Incarnations.

Thus, Luthor's Doomsday is strong enough to generate large shock-waves with his monstrous blows, to hold his own against the combined tremendous might of both Superman and Wonder Woman simultaneously, sending them flying with his blows, and to actually harm Superman without the need of Kryptonite, managing to swiftly pierce the latter's otherwise invulnerable chest with his tremendously hard and sharp bony protrusions. Doomsday could shatter a dimension within the Phantom Zone using nothing but brute force. He also broke one of Wonder Woman's arms just by punching it. Doomsday can easily overpower and kill humans and engage other powerful aliens like sun powered Kryptonians. He can bend and break through reinforced steel, destroy impenetrable barriers, and can lift extremely heavy objects with little to no effort, uproot trees and buildings/structures as well as decimate them with his might. He is strong and powerful enough to overcome entire rosters of superhumans, like the Justice League and the Green Lantern Corps.

* **Natural Weaponry:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Regenerative Durability:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Luthor's Doomsday is virtually invulnerable, seemingly even more so than Superman. Thus, the monster was unscathed by the intense firepower of military jets and the Batwing, numerous tremendous blows from Superman and Wonder Woman, and even quickly recovered after taking the full force of a nuclear bomb (in an explosion in outer space, gigantic enough to be seen clearly from Earth), and subsequently falling down all the way down to Earth from space. Due to his adaptive evolution, the nuclear blast, fall, and mighty blows from Superman and Wonder Woman actually only made Luthor's Doomsday stronger and more durable than before. The only known weapons capable of actually injuring Luthor's Doomsday are Wonder Woman's Amazon sword (due to its magical nature) and weapons containing Kryptonite (due to the monster sharing a Kryptonian's weakness to the xenomineral). Doomsday is almost completely resistant to all forms of physical and mental types of harm, and as such, bullets bounce off him, rockets, lasers and bombs will not leave a mark on him, and high-voltage energy emissions cannot penetrate through his tough hide. He has even been able to withstand Darkseid's Omega Beams.

* **Expert Tracker:** Doomsday is capable of tracking things, determining what sort of prey he is following.
* **Feral Mind:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Predatory/Predator Instincts:** Doomsday possesses extraordinary predatory instincts for hunting all things such as Humans, Animals, And Superman. he can track anything under any conditions, sense the weaknesses of his prey and exploit them before finally succeeding in killing them.
* **Fighting Instincts:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Killing Instinct:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Camouflage:** Doomsday is capable of camouflaging himself to be able to blend into his surroundings.
* **Self-Sustenance:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Teleportation:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Expert Water Swimming Abilities Skills:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Speed Swimming:** Doomsday (DC Extended Universe).
* **Self-Evolution:** If something kills him once, it cannot kill him again & he will either instantaneously heal from it instead or be invulnerable to it. He can survive in space and can even operate while in the direct presence of space vacuums, vortexes and wormholes, and he does not require oxygen, water, or any form of nourishment to maintain himself.
* **Bony Protrusions**: Luthor's Doomsday's bony protrusions are virtually indestructible and tremendously sharp, to the point that the monster was able to use his arm-protrusion to stab right through the otherwise invulnerable chest of Superman, which seemingly mortally wounded him.
* **Energy Absorption**: Luthor's Doomsday's cells, like those of any Kryptonian, are capable of absorbing energy, for both sustenance and enhancement, with Wonder Woman remarking that the monster feeds on it. Having absorbed a considerable amount of energy, Luthor's Doomsday is induced to mutate and increase in power, with him notably growing bony protrusions and growing in size after surviving a gigantic nuclear blast and absorbing the nuclear energy of it.
* **Healing Factor**: Luthor's Doomsday has an extremely effective healing factor, making him incredibly hard to defeat, even for the most powerful of opponents. Hence, when somewhat injured by Superman's blows, a nuclear bomb, and his subsequent fall from space, Luthor's Doomsday recovers and heals almost instantly, and grows a huge bony protrusion right after his arm is chopped off by Wonder Woman. Whenever injured, Luthor's Doomsday's healing wounds are instantly enveloped in an orange superheated glow, which vanishes after he is healed, mere seconds later.
* **Regenerative Evolution/Reactive Adaptation**: Upon receiving catastrophic injuries from the missile, he not only regenerated, but his body started to mutate further, possibly as an adaptive response to the trauma. Thus, the more Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman attack Luthor's Doomsday, the stronger and more durable the monster became, also growing in size, making Superman realize that wielding the Kryptonite spear is the only way to stop Luthor's Doomsday.
* **Electrokinesis**: Luthor's Doomsday, when healing from a powerful attack, is capable of generating immense electrical tendrils and shock-waves from his body, with Luthor's Doomsday generating a larger and more powerful shock-wave as he increases in power. One of them was powerful enough to decimate several city blocks, tearing apart many buildings, with only beings of tremendous power, like Superman and Wonder Woman able to survive the electrical shock-wave head-on (with Batman and Lois Lane narrowly escaping by hiding behind some rubble and underwater respectively). When mortally wounded, Luthor's Doomsday used his electrical tendrils to loosen the hold of Wonder Woman's unbreakable Lasso of Truth (by making her temporarily lose her footing), thereby managing to mortally stab Superman.
* **Heat Blasts**: Luthor's Doomsday can generate tremendous superheated torrents from his eyes and mouth, which are far larger and more destructive than even Kryptonian heat vision, with a single thermal blast being enough to completely destroy a building's entire floor. Only beings of tremendous power, like Superman and Wonder Woman, can survive a thermal blast from Luthor's Doomsday head-on. Hence, when Superman tried meeting Luthor's Doomsday's blast with his heat vision, the monster's much thicker beam was able to overpower Superman's relatively quickly, promptly sending Superman flying backward.
* **Adaptation:** He constantly adapts to forms of attack. After experiencing one form of attack he learns how to resist it in the future. Superman used a sound gun to paralyze Doomsday, but Doomsday's auditory canals closed making him impervious to the weapon. Waverider paralyzed Doomsday once with "chronal" energy, but the second attempt backlashes on him.
* **Toxikinesis:** Prior to his death, Doomsday was capable of emitting a toxin that would kill anything near him. Even Superman could only confront him for a short while before succumbing to his presence.
* **Doomsday Conversion:** An effect of Doomsday's new abilities. The potential letheality of which, while still incredibly caustic, was also discovered to be able to convert others afflicted by his miasma into Doomsday-like monstrosities.
* **Murderous Possession:** Upon his death by the hands of Superman he was able to adversely affect him, Kal-El started to warp biologically to resemble Doomsday due to the beast imprinting his entire essence onto his genetic code.
* **Molecular Reconstruction:** His poison didn't just intoxicate organic elements. Everything around him within 100 yards began to degenerate and die; desert sand burned into onyx in his wake, people a good distance away burst' into flames, brick & stone spontaneously dissolving at a molecular level, etc.
* **Venomous & Extendable Claws:** Doomsday can stretch his claws various meters, and make them venomous.
* **Telescopic Vision:** Doomsday (DC).
* **Teleportation:** Doomsday was capable of warping from location to location via the Phantom Zone.
* **Incredible Senses:** He is able to sense and see jets miles away with perfect detail and sense Kryptonians and will single-mindedly hunt them.
* **Doomsday Virus:** Doomsday is, at it’s core, a virus with the intention of wiping out all life in the universe. His presence can generate a corrosive field that rapidly decays all life nearby. This destroys down to even the microbes nearby. Doomsday drains the life essence of all life nearby to become stronger. If Doomsday’s body is disrupted enough it will turn into a black mist. This mist can infect those nearby and fuse them with Doomsday. This infection is so powerful as to even infect Superman, making SuperDoom. Doomsday can breathe poisonous gases or shoot it from his hands, poison so powerful as to harm New 52 Wonder Woman.
* **Energy Manipulation:** After evolving to fight The Radiant, Doomsday gained the ability to manipulate energy. He can drain it from nearby electrical sources, as well as physically grab energy beings like The Radiant, or disperse energy. He can then fire them as energy rays from his hand or in some versions, as energy pulses emanating from his body. In particular, Doomsday seems to have an affinity for thermal energy, heat. Doomsday passively emanates heat, enough to destabilize an island on the molecular level. He can shoot Heat Vision from his eyes like a Kryptonian. He can also breathe fire like a dragon. This fire was enough to threaten the Martian Manhunter (though Martian Manhunter has a particular weakness to fire.)
* **Extra-Dimensional Punch:** Doomsday’s claws seem to have some kind of spatial rending capacities. In the New 52 he was able to pierce a hole out of the Phantom Zone. The Phantom Zone (also called Underworld) is on a higher realm of existence, a plane as large as Heaven which is a Multiverse in itself. Underworld is in the Sphere of the Gods, past the Speed Force Wall, suggesting this feat in-universe is even more impressive than Superboy Prime punching his way out of the Speedforce. Either way, it suggests he can tear holes in dimensions should he choose. Likely via this ability he has also shown the ability to hit intangible opponents. He was able to hit a Phased Martian Manhunter (although at the time he was possessed by Prin Vnok so the feat may not be applicable to Doomsday alone).

## Weakness

* **Kryptonite**: Luthor's Doomsday, much like Superman and other Kryptonians, has Kryptonite as his main weakness, with this radioactive green xenomineral being extremely toxic to him, making it the only known substance capable of actually killing the monster. Hence, Luthor's Doomsday is considerably slowed down when Batman shoots him with a grenade of Kryptonite-rich gas and killed when Superman stabs him through the chest with a Kryptonite spear, with the mortally wounded monster roaring from the incredible pain.
* **Beings of Equal Power**: Luthor's Doomsday can be effectively engaged in combat by beings of equivalent incalculable strength, such as Superman and Wonder Woman, with their tremendously mighty blows being capable of staggering him, and, in Superman's case, even sending him flying. However, his adaptive evolution and healing factor make the monster incredibly hard to kill, even for them.
* **Magic**: Luthor's Doomsday shares Kryptonians' vulnerability to magic, with allows Wonder Woman to both chops off his arm with her magical sword, and restrain him with her magical Lasso of Truth, with him unable to absorb its magical energy and break out of the noose. He was, however, able to grow a huge bony protrusion in the arm's place and to slightly loosen the lasso's hold on him with an immense electrical blast of his own, as it made Wonder Woman momentarily lose her footing.
* **Limited Intelligence**: Luthor's Doomsday, as a ferocious being with an insatiable bloodlust and desire for destruction and carnage, has a feral mind with limited intelligence, which was ultimately his downfall, as it allowed the superhero trinity to ultimately outsmart Luthor's Doomsday, with Batman baiting it, which allowed Wonder Woman to get a hold of him with her lasso, which allowed Batman to momentarily weaken the monster with a Kryptonite gas grenade, which, in turn, gave Superman the opening he needed to deliver the killing blow to Luthor's Doomsday, with the Kryptonite spear.
* **Physical Trauma**
* **Chest Wound**
* **Limited Strength**
* **Limited Durability**
* **Limited Stamina**
* **Limited Healing Factor**

* **Fear of Pain and Death:** Doomsday retains traumatic memories of when Bertron was experimenting to create him, and because of this, he actually has a fear of pain, which really isn't that big of a problem for him.
* **Minor Solar Dependence:** As he is indeed a prehistoric Kryptonian, Doomsday's regeneration is amplified by the Sun, and it can take him several millennia to revive when in total darkness.
* **Kryptonite:** Though it cannot kill him, Kryptonite can indeed weaken Doomsday's abilities.
* **Single-Mindedness:** Due to the fact that Doomsday was unintentionally programmed to hate everything that lives, Doomsday will focus only on killing, and could potentially be led into a trap.
* **Lack of Defensive Techniques:** Doomsday won’t do very much to protect himself, as he is so used to not feeling anything since all of his opponents have been so much weaker. A strong opponent can surprise him with this fact. His exposed bone structure, a weaker part of his body, used to be a weakness for Doomsday, but he evolved past that.
* **Entropy:** This is the one thing that Doomsday cannot regenerate from nor form an immunity to. When sent to the end of time, he was finally destroyed along with the rest of the universe in that he simply ceased to exist.
* **Monstrous Appearance:** Doomsday (DC).

## Trivia

* Zack Snyder clarified that Doomsday is the second iteration of the creature which is weaker than the original.
* Doomsday was created by Lex Luthor combining his DNA with the DNA of a Kryptonian, similar to how Nuclear Man was created by Lex Luthor in *Superman IV: The Quest for Peace*. Ironically, both *Superman* movies were critically panned by critics and audiences alike.
* Doomsday's creation in the film is based on the story of Frankenstein's Monster, who was also created by a mad scientist using electricity.
