Superman Villains - Doomsday
Do you want to know what there is about Doomsday? Your chance is finally here. Doomsday first appeared in 1992 in Superman: The man of steel. He was created by an alien scientist who wished to create the perfect life form. Of all the Superman villains, Doomsday gained the most pity.
He was placed out as an infant, to die by the vicious atmosphere of Krypton in it's most violent time. 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. In fact, he battled the team with one hand tied behind his back, literally.
Maxima was the only one of the bunch who could have any chance of defending herself against Doomsday. After Doomsday caught Superman's attentions, the two would eventually 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. Neither, however, would give up.
At the end of possibly the greatest comic book battle of all time, each of the fighters simultaneously struck the other with a fatal blow. Thus, the end of Superman, and the legacy lives on.
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.
