I made the distinction between the Superdooms' quite clear in the OP.
@entropy_aegis: I wont really call him a 'monster of the week' in this new shape, not if DC decides that Doomsday is now going to be a disease that latches onto really powerful characters, where we risk ending up with Doomed-like events every time it shows up. Imagine it latches onto Shazam the next time, then Wonder Woman gets a go and so on.
It's a rather logical step to take with a character like Doomsday thats all about evolution, since it's now copied the most successful one there is, but in the process of logic you sorta take away the initial appeal. It's a bit like how Marvel caught flack for making the Ultimate Ga-Lak-Tus a swarm of robots instead of a giant in purple Kirby Armor.
But that's what I'm saying,Doomsday has no reason to be a Supes foe,he could be fighting any other powerful hero. Superdoom works in the context of Superman stories as Lvenger pointed out.
Neither. Doomsday is a one-trick pony, but Super-Doom is basically Morrison poking fun at 90's grim-dark Superman.
Which was funny for all of thirty seconds when I read the President Superman issue, followed by me repeatedly banging my head on the desk in disbelief that Morrison actually went for such a cheap shot.
I mean seriously, a creature created and shaped by the demands of the consumer turns out to be a hyper-violent anti-hero asshole? And he thinks he's the best, and wants to get rid of all "inferior versions"?
Gee, thanks Morrison, I haven't seen an author be that condescending towards his audience since whatever crap Mark Millar wrote recently.
Parallax,Az-Bat and Cyborg Superman, it's true when you think about it.
@entropy_aegis: uh yeah he is. What is bane know for? For breaking the batman, something he's done decades ago. He hasn't done anything noteworthy to since.
He'll jus recently in one of the forever evil tie-in he got beat by batman in a muscle to muscle fight.
No,just stop please. What exactly have characters like Scarecrow,Two-Face,Riddler etc have done? sorry but you're setting unreasonable conditions. Bane stopped being a villain after the Legacy story,I dont want to get dragged in to this debate,it's not even about Bane. But seeing as I have read every comic with both Bane and Doomsday suffice to say neither character are ANYTHING alike.
He got beat because plot,seriously WTH.
