Doomsday is awesome in many ways to certain people in a world where people love to live vicariously through characters and so some believe that on some level their favorites characters being able to beat your favorite characters makes them superior (or not inferior) so we got some super fun crazy psychology stuff going on here. In the old days people use to do this thing where it was the objects that were associated to them that were superior (where they lived, their god, their family, themselves) but an interesting thing in the modern world is information technology and its ability to make us aware of much more than our brains can accurately cope with without excessive filtering. Now people can pick things a part from them then associate with them, favorite characters, movies, artists, songs and the like. Except still that psychology where if you don't respect or you attack something that a person affiliates or has affiliated then you are personally disrespecting or attacking that person. So for those whose reality blurs with fiction, being affiliated with a character that 'killed' Superman and can "evolve" past death is pretty comforting to some and ego boasting too.
Its why my favorite character is Saywhat, a character from a 14th century Russian comic written by Spanish time travelers, from the end of everything. Saywhat is a 2 year old half Polynesian, half Super Saiyan God, half Proto Omniverse concept girl from New York. Saywhat's first power is to beat everything ever if she wants to including every thing character, object, argument your mind and everyone who has ever had a minds collective mind could potentially conceive. Her second power is to be objective absolute superior perfection and likability. Her third power is to make the best milkshakes without even attempting. Her forth power is to never die because she can adapt and evolve to everything, but this power is moot because of powers one, two, three and 5 to infinity. I really relate to her.
