”Most predators attack their attackers...but this beast...it destroyed everything. That was its function, after all...to ensure that no Kryptonian would ever be safe again.”
[METROPOLIS — 0:00 AFTER “THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN”]
The last thing you hear is the echo—that final, sickening WHUMPH of a punch… its fist exploded the Man of Steel’s head with devastating gore… brain matter splattered across the destroyed concrete wall..
”RRRAAAAGGHHHHHH!”
Something moves in the fiery wreck.
A massive silhouette swells through the dust—Gray skin stretched over corded muscle. And spikes: bone-growths bursting from shoulders, elbows, spine, even the jawline—a body built like a living battering ram..
DOOMSDAY.
A low, animal hiss and the sound of bone scraping against bone as he flexes.
DOOMSDAY: “…” (no language. only intent.)

[NARRATOR: Doomsday — the creature that killed Super…man in a straight fight. A living extinction event: near-unstoppable strength, monstrous speed, and a body that adapts through sheer survivability. A problem that gets worse every second you’re alive near it.]
Doomsday’s body doesn’t “heal” like a man—it updates. The agony gets written into him, and he comes back closer to unkillable. That’s the point: if he dies to it once, it won’t kill him the same way again.

(pain becomes blueprint)
After trading blows with Superman, his hide shifts from rough bone-and-flesh into a denser, interlocked lattice—like overlapping shields grown from the inside out.
DERMAL CROSS-SECTION (simplified)

Inside
Result: blunt force that used to stagger him now disperses—shock turns into a dull thud against a body built to learn violence.
Every catastrophic hit becomes stored momentum. Doomsday’s system reroutes function into power and repair—injury isn’t a setback, it’s intake.

Some evolutions don’t just make him tougher—they make him unsafe to be near. At one stage, he develops a toxin effect that can wipe out life around him simply by existing.
AURA WARNING:

effect: tissue burn / systemic collapse
purpose: erase crowds fast (no chase needed)
DIRECTIVE: EXTERMINATE ALL LIFESUBDIRECTIVE: KILL KRYPTONIANS FIRST
It isn’t strategy like a general—it’s instinct upgraded into obsession. Everything living is prey… but anything Kryptonian is the prey.
And then his head turns—slow—toward you.
Not because you matter. Because you’re alive, and he’s still doing what he was made to do.

The street quakes once as he plants a foot—muscles compress like loaded springs—
