ROOOAAARRR!!!

--Doomsday's war cry.

Doomsday is an immensely destructive creature from the planet of Krypton. Only the strongest heroes can put up a defense against him—and even then, the beast's resurrection powers make him just about unbeatable.

In Teen Titans Go!, Doomsday battles with Hawkman in the Season 5 episode "The Great Disaster."

History

Long ago on the brutal planet of Krypton, an alien scientist named Bertron began an experiment to create an ultra-powerful life form. His test subject was just an infant, who stood no chance of survival on Krypton. However, each time the baby died, Bertron resurrected him with a new adaptation to overcome the previous death. After thousands of deaths, the infant had now grown exceedingly deadly—and hateful of all life. When the beast became able to revive without Bertron's help, he killed the scientist and left Krypton. From then on he went from planet to planet with nothing but murder on his mind. The monster caught so many bodies that Justice League member Booster Gold called him "Doomsday." Even Superman was killed by the Kryptonian creature.

Somewhere during this career of dying, reviving, and slaughter, Doomsday encountered the Teen Titans in Jump City (as seen in "The Great Disaster"). The team was about to engage the monster, but Hawkman stepped up instead. After four days of harrowing hand-to-hand combat, the Justice League member eventually defeated him. For now.

Doomsday also appeared in the episode "Marv Wolfman and George Pérez", where the titular veteran comic artists came up with a story that involved him getting beaten up by Superman who was powered by his super organs.

Doomsday makes his odd speaking in the episode "Doomsday Preppers", where he speaks with a high-pitched child-like voice.

Physical Appearance

He's here to bring the doom.

Years upon years of adaptation have transformed Doomsday into a formidable-looking beast. Spines extending from multiple portions of his body, offering intimidation and protection (even his eyebrows are spiky!). In addition, his highly built body shows that it's not just genetics; he's also got a good workout program. Doomsday wears tight-fitting green shorts held up with a green and gold buckle, as well as green boots. Blazing red eyes finish up the terrifying look.

Powers and Abilities

Physiological Abilities

Despite taking a stoplight to the head, Doomsday is all good.

Missed, but that building is wrecked.

• Resurrection: Because Doomsday can keep coming back to life, he's pretty much unstoppable.
• Adaptation: Also, each time Doomsday returns from the dead, it's with a new adaptation against the previous defeat.
• Super Strength: Objects too heavy for humans to lift or too big to crush pose no problem for this monster.
• Super Durability: While not un-damageable, Doomsday's very tough to wound.
• Super Stamina: As Bumblebee mentioned in "The Great Disaster," Doomsday fought for four days before defeat.
• Super Speed: Despite his hulking size, this beast has some great speed capabilities.
• Healing: On the off chance that Doomsday is injured, he can heal himself up.
• Venomous Claws: Razor sharp claws on the creature's fingers can inject venom.
• Super Leaping: Although flight is barred from Doomsday, he can sill jump far. Better than nothing.
• Enhanced Vision: The beast's blazing eyes have exceptional vision.
• Self-Sustainment: Doomsday doesn't even need air, food, or water.

Skills

• Hand-To-Hand Combat: While strength is his main ally, Doomsday also has a few moves to employ against his foes.

Trivia

• While "The Great Disaster" was Doomsday's first true in-the-person appearance, his skull and references to the character have shown up throughout the series, including:

  • 

    The bottom right tank hold's the beast's skull.

    his skull in the Batcave ("TV Knight 2)
  • his skull in the Hall of Justice ("Two Parter")
  • a poster of him in Cyborg's room ("Dude Relax")
  • a poster of him in a child's bedroom ("Dog Hand")
  • his skull aboard Alien Skull Collector's ship ("Pure Protein")
• Since there are multiple universes within Detective Comics, there's also multiple versions of Doomsday. It's unclear which version of the character the Teen Titans Go! one is based off of—New Earth, Prime Earth, or even the DC Extended Universe (Superman as an adversary to Doomsday is referred to as the "Man of Steel" in this episode, a title of a movie in the DC EU). Perhaps this version is entirely separate. (It should be noted, though, that this article is based off of the New Earth version.)
• Hawkman manages to defeat Doomsday, even though most would agree that the Kryptonian catastrophe is many tiers above the hero in terms of power. It's unknown just how Hawkman pulled this win off since it’s never shown.
