Doomsday is a seemingly unstoppable behemoth who adapts his physical form to overcome and destroy anything or anyone in his path. He is best known for being the murderer of Superman in the "Death of Superman" storyline.
it seems to me that he got weaker is there an explanation for this or s it just a famed retconn from another writer...because after Hunter and Prey he was still stronger than supes with mother Box now he seems weaker than supes which really irritates me....
I believe (along with what others have mentioned) also it was revealed that Supes had been holding back in their more famous encounter. So both maybe a lot more stronger. Its hard to tell without a reliable, accurate, point of reference,
@Silver man: I am really just reiterating what I got, read, and heard from later comics, I am not sure how the writer would justify it, but often writers just do that sort of thing, add an unknown context to a previous fight scene and all that. Since you do raise a good point.
Doomsday lost strength after H/P because the writers knew there would just simply be nowhere for him to go after that if they just kept him getting more and more powerful. After all, with the power of reactive adaptation at his proposal, he could theoretically challenge almost all adversaries and then defeat them. Where does one draw the line? The Presence? The Voice? The Overmonitor? He had to be drummed down thereafter in much the same way Silver Age Superman needed to be depowered as well. Can't have unbeatable characters in comics..you just can't.
they had to make him lose strength really when u too powerful only a hand full can defeat u so power him down only makes sense that way u can write him back as many times as you want
