”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: (growls…)

[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.]

You try to step back.

Bad idea.

Doomsday’s head snaps toward you like a sensor locking on. He smells the movement. You feel it—this pressure in the air… your… death.

Then his legs coil.

And he’s gone.

He leaps—a single explosive launch that turns meters into nothing. The shockwave of his takeoff pops windows.

You raise an arm—

He hits you like a truck made of muscle & spikes.

There’s a sharp, ugly CRACK that sounds like wood snapping. Your arm folds at an angle arms aren’t supposed to fold. Pain flashes so bright it turns your vision grainy.

Your body slams into the pavement, and the world blurs white-hot.

A backhand catches your face and sends your head skidding across the asphalt. Teeth cut your lip. Blood tastes like pennies and panic.
