@Blacharrt1 The point of mentioning Namor is X-Men are jobbers and struggle against the Sentinels. Namor tanked the Sentinels and he's not Doomsday level. Doomsday is close to Hulk level. What has Hulk done to the X-Men in the past? What did he do to Wolverine in Fear Itself? Doomsday is a tough fight for guys like Hulk and Thor not for the X-Men.
The Big difference with Doomsday and Hulk is that Hulk can actually Adapt to any situation instantly with anger, not to mention get stronger. Doomsdays has to die to adapt, Big difference, especially when death = a lost in battle forums. Unless the stipulation is that Doomsday can die more than once, Doomsday would lose.
@blacharrt1:
I have never seen anywhere that it states that Doomsday could adapt to a power simply by looking at it, I have seen someone try to argue that because he fought some no name lantern, and overpowered him that he adapted to that situation.. which wasn't the case at all. Now if you have actual proof of this i would love to see it, and judge for myself.
I don't think it works by him just looking at it. Not sure though. His auditory canals have closed in response to sonics and he developed harpoon like claws to snag an out of reach Superman. Just a couple examples.
Oh and i read Death of Superman, There were a lot of hack superheroes that Doomsday steamrolled over before he killed superman, None of which could take on Legion, or Magik or Beat the likes of Polaris, Darwin, or A0A Nightcrawlers and many others without a lot of trouble... Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Bloodwynd, Fire... seriously... So for you to point to those guys as a legit threat makes no sense at all. They were not the Justice Leagues A team, or B team for that matter. If the Justice Society was there they would have at least had a lantern who could have fought Doomsday in a nice battle.
With the exception of Dr. Fate, I don't think the JS (roster depending) could take some of the people Doomsday blew through. You list Booster and Guy like they're pushovers. Booster is a 100 tonner with powerful force fields and Guy had a yellow power ring at the time. You also conveniently left out Maxima. I'd pick her over Legion, Magik, or Polaris. She'd have trouble with Darwin and I don't know anything about A0A Nightcrawler. That B team is still more powerful than most of the X-Men.
@mrtaco
And the roster for x men... lets say the most common people.
With an intense debate like this one you should be really specific. Some names would be great.
@killemall
Getting him to hold still is one thing. Can anyone one else actually put him down though.
I know for a fact his powers don't work that way. One very important thing to remember is that before and even after the Death of Superman Arc, Doomsday was put in multiple situation where he had already died and adapted immunities. As for his Claws, Doomsday can control his bone growth that is a normal part of his powerset.
Alan Scott is better lantern than Guy. Booster Gold, and Guy at the time the comic came out, were little more than jokes. Guy was one of the worst lanterns there was. Magneto's shields has better feat showings than booster gold's regardless of it resisting 100 tonners. Maxima is not a factor, she's a cheap knockoff of superman, and was not a factor, since Doomsday was specifically geared toward killing superman, she would not have been a major factor. Maxima was killed by a Ship explosion.... Legion, Magik, Polaris, Darwin, Lifeguard, Any of the Omega level telepaths/telekinetics, Iceman, Kitty Pride could easily tank that. AOA nightcrawler is part of the interference team, but could tele-dismemberment anyone he wanted or teleport something directly in their bodies or brains killing them (and AOA nightcrawler has no morals), but this would not work on Doomsdays organs because he doesn't have any. Doomsday, he would also regen, eventually from the tele-dismemberment, however Elixir can shut his regenerative powers off as he did with WWH, or out right kill him with his death touch. Those two together could easily put a stop to doomsday.
Are you trying to match the Justice League with the X-men? Because that's not what the topic is about. There are several very powerful X-men who could take on the JLA Roster in Death of superman and win easily. But that's not the point of your claim. As i have stated before, simply changing one small word correct the fanboy-ish answer you gave before.
@blacharrt1: Dos doomsday ( his weakest form) met darksied and slaughtered the green lanterns corps with one of their rings and killed a Guardian. All this was before even meeting superman. 1 GL isnt going to give hp doomsday any trouble. And the roster for x men... lets say the most common people.
There is no common roster because they are broken up in teams. If it's new x-men they Win, via Magik, but the team , X-factor, Hell God Darwin, Legacy - Legion Solos, All New includes the entire jean grey school, plus Wolverine, Ice Man, Quentin Quires, Blindfold (current fixed) Kitty Pride, Storm, Doop (whom also can solo), Genesis, Plus Jean Grey, Cyclops and Iceman and 2 Beast. New Mutant, Warlock, Hel Valkyrie Moonstar, Cyper, Nate Grey...
I don't feel like listing them all you need to be more specific.
