Doomsday (Krypton Series) Respect Thread

This is Doomsday from the Krypton Series. Figured he could use an RT. This is S1 and S2 (S3 was cancelled: lack of viewership). Recently just finished the show and figured why not . . .

- Note: Some things I mention I don't have scans for (couldn't find any gifs or vids to display verification: may update in the future).

In case anyone is curious, DD appears to be somewhere in the lower 8ft range, as Zod (Colin Salmon) a 6'3 man stands around nipple height with the beast.

For comparison, this would make DD in a similar height range to characters like MCU Thanos and Hulk.

POWER

DD brutalizes a Kryptonian Squadron.

- They don't have powers.

DD can mess up spacecraft and casually break through its windshield. The same style of ships that have been seen capable of travelling from the Moon to Krypton.

DD one-shots a big hole in the wall.

Based on other scenes, this wall looks to be almost 1ft in depth.

Considering how much DD hit through in relation to his height, this should easily be his best output feat.

DURABILITY and ADAPTATION

DD barely flinches from this assault of laser fire. The guns on this show are hard to figure out particular dmg bases. As some do no more than down an armored soldier, while others on 2 occasions have managed to disintegrate. First was a main character's arm (8443753-armshotoff.gif (480×268) (gamespot.com)), and second, a different man's entire body from the waist up (sadly don't have a gif for the second showing.

DD proves to [soon after] tank/run-through the incoming fire, a sign of his adaptation ability.

- Boy also has some hops!

- He also kills all of them. (gif above shows [some of] that)

DD later shows to continue tanking blaster fire.

- He kills all of them btw.

DD only flinches from the first 2 shots from a Max Depth Stellarian Powered weapon. With the 3rd shot [to the head] putting the beast down.

This is the only time the gun is used.

Stellarian bombs are later used in an attempt to trap DD underground long enough for the people to escape. Due to an issue, the bombs had to be triggered nearby. The young lad is killed by DD, leading to DD taking the blast at ground zero.

They miscalculated the force of the Stellarian bombs, which causes the moon to completely break apart and explode, with DD currently buried in the moon's mining tunnels.

DD is seen in the episode later ice-over back on Krypton. This is after a 1 month time-lapse. DD appears fine, but sleeping/KOed (not specified).

DD has been shown to casually live in areas without the need for oxygen. 1 case on the moon, another case in the frozen storm Outlands. Both areas have required breathing gear.

In the creation of DD, he has proven to grow immunity to some sort of gas, dying his first test, then being unfazed in trial 2. DD then is tested and burned alive by fire. Trials are continued. A mention of DD dying to a critical Pathogen (illness) trial also happens. Illness resistance was tested 105 times.

Over 500 trials are done on DD. (S2, Ep7. Sadly all clips I found skipped over this mention)

SPEED

DD takes down a Kryptonian scouting vessel, then leaps on the other one seconds later.

Mental Capacity

DD attempts to block incoming fire: prior to adapting and tanking it later in the show.

DD has proven to have the ability to feel love.

- And anger. This bit is in the last half of the youtube link above.

WEAKNESSES (and adaptations DD didn't prove to [entirely] adapt to)

DD had proven to be susceptible to drugs that are inserted into him.

DD had his brain rearranged by brain-altering Kryptonian tech, even after doing this to control DD was he not cooperating, a further need of continuous drug dosage was required and even then control was believed to be temporary and possible for DD to break loose any moment.

- the drug was not inserted by a needle, was injected through some kind of light energy... thing. Can't say since whatever it was, was being blocked and too bright to further make out.

DD was also shown to be kept asleep prior to being released in a specially designed pod. DD also remains unaware and motionless while he is captured by Zod and held in some kind of machine while being tested.

EXTRA!

Stellarian seems to be some sort of hyperpower source, as Zod mentions how it is necessary for interstellar travel. Along with its other showings of KOing Doomsday, and a few more explosives leading to the Moon's entire destruction.

Zod had intent on using Doomsday to defeat Brainiac. Brainiac had displayed solid levels of telekinesis and forms of mental attacks. His best Telekinesis feats involve thinking away a small fleet of Kryptonian Sachatari ships. Brainiac's powers are also displayed when Seg uses them in an unsure and amateur way, leading to him disarming Lobo, and displaying some kind of martial arts to beat back Lobo. Zod thinking that Doomsday being able to for sure beat Brainiac might help to bump DD. Especially since this Zod is from the future and has displayed plenty of knowledge from the future about the likes of whom he refers.

@crimson_comet: So he survived a moon-busting explosion?

@sonath: 100% he did.

DD was at Ground Zero of the explosion. Which buried him in the underground tunnels, with Moon blowing up maybe a minute after. DD being trapped in the tunnels was also a plot point to keep him away long enough to keep people safe. But they miscalculated the bombs and they caused more unforeseen damage (Moon Boom!).

DD than managed to get dropped back down onto Krypton sometime after the explosion and was frozen in ice. The show says a 1 month time-lapse.

There is zero to indicate that DD didn't take this.

The planet was disrupted by the Stellarian Bombs, something DD ended up being fully engulfed by prior to taking the rest of the moon destruction.

@crimson_comet: Do you think that the moon was as big as ours?

@crimson_comet: a legit moon level DD, impressive! How powerful are Kryptonians in this series?

@sonath: The series says nothing about the size of the planet or its Moons. No distance or travel speeds were used to help.

Its hard to scale other interpretations with the Tv Series.

In some Comics brainiacs ship is the size of earth, yet in the series is massively larger than one of Kryptons large city districts. Which should only be island comparable id imagine

@kryptonianking88: Not much indicates them being anything beyond normal humans. They do, however, seem to have better cold resistance, as the main character (Seg) had dropped in the freezing storm in the outlands while badly wounded, his body was loaded with frost, and some sort of relatively shortish time later he was fine to run around. Maybe some sort of healing happened off screen, unlikely due to him initially seeming banged up.

@crimson_comet:

Nice thread, and thanks for making this!

I feel not too many people know about this version.

Nice work man! Its unfortunate that Krypton was canceled.

@randybutternubs: Indeed, S3 coulda lead to more showings from Doomsday, and seemed to lean towards giving us much more from Brainiac and Lobo. Both who coulda had an honest RT after being more present in S3.

damn that is realy interesting

Bump. Hoping to see if we can get more debates out of this 'weapon'

Edit: updated info

Kryptonians might be superhuman in the show. However, these may be a result of Brainiac's control amping them.
