Doomsday (comics) - Other Versions

Other Versions

In the non-continuity book All-Star Superman, Grant Morrison's modern take on the Silver Age includes the D.N.A. P.R.O.J.E.C.T. which was resurrected by a scientist named Leo Quintum. Under Quintum, the P.R.O.J.E.C.T. is dedicated to "the engineering of new human forms" including Bizarro worker drones, giants who can travel through space under their own power, and microscopic "nanonauts" unlocking the mysteries of the sub-atomic world. The P.R.O.J.E.C.T.'s ultimate goal is to create a replacement Superman, in case something happens to the original. In All-Star Superman #4, it is revealed that the P.R.O.J.E.C.T. created a formula to bestow Superman-level strength and durability on a normal human, but all of their test subjects ultimately burned out. Jimmy Olsen shoots himself with a syringe gun containing a formula marked "Do Not Open Until Doomsday", and transforms into a hulking, gray skinned figure with bony protrusions. Jimmy succeeds in stopping a black kryptonite-afflicted Superman and transforms back to normal before the formula kills him. It's not discussed as to whether Superman fought an original Doomsday in this universe, however Jimmy did know that it was based on Doomsday so this universe must have somehow had dealings with it.

• During the "Lifeline" storyline that ran in Wonder Woman, an imperfect duplicate of Doomsday was created by an artificial intelligence based on the son of scientist Doctor Julian Lazarus, but was destroyed when Wonder Woman's allies were able to feed the clone so much power that its bones covered it and it reverted to a statue-like state that she could shatter with relative ease
• In an attempt to understand death, Mister Mxyzptlk created a temporary copy of Doomsday—which he called "Bada-Bing-Bada-Boomsday"—in Superman: The Man of Steel #75, although he erased it once again after it temporarily killed him. This version had light yellow skin instead of the mainstream one's grey, and numerous more spikes.
• In the Tangent Universe, Doomsday is a member of the Doom Patrol.
• In JLA/Avengers #4 Doomsday is shown in a panel near the end of the heroe's battle against Krona's enthralled army of villains, where he is apparently defeated by Thor.
• In the Young Justice crossover story "World Without Young Justice", the past of all of the team members are changed. Superboy is now one of two clone attempts after Superman's death. His nemesis is a teenage version of Doomsday known as Doomsboy.
• In Action Comics #856, a Bizarro No. 1 created a Bizarro Doomsday.
• In the Superboy story "Hypertension" (vol 3 #60-65), Black Zero has a collection of dozens of Doomsdays from alternate realities.
• In Superman: Red Son, Doomsday in one of the many rogues created by Dr. Luthor.
• A Doomsday-like creature codenamed "All-American Boy", was introduced in Superman/Batman storyline "The Search for Kryptonite ". All-American Boy was an experiment to use Kryptonite to bond cell scrapings taken from Doomsday to a human host (Joshua Walker). Walker, a local Smallville hero turned soldier, under mind control battles Superman, devastating Smallville, Kansas in the process. Batman locates Josh's parents, who convince him to stop, and he regains conscience. Project leader Amanda Waller is forced to pay towards repairing Smallville in return for her dealings in the AAB project to remain secret.
• In the Superman/Batman storyline "Mash-Up", elements of Doomsday are combined with parts of Deathstroke, creating the villain Doomstroke.
• In the alternate timeline of the Flashpoint event, Doomsday was part of the military's Project Six. After being discovered lying dormant in an underground vault, Project Six's DNA was used by the government Sam Lane to create supersoldiers. The volunteer supersoldier was Neil Sinclair. Later, Project Six, controlled by General Nathaniel Adam via a mental interface, was sent to attack Booster Gold who was believed to be an Atlantean threat. During the battle, Adam's control was destroyed by a Metahuman woman named Alexandra Gianopoulos, which caused Project Six's true personality to surface. Project Six attacks and nearly beats Booster Gold to death, Booster only surviving as Project Six is at a more basic level of evolution than the Doomsday Booster is familiar with. Project Six then begins to rampage, killing innocent people, but after recovering Booster Bold put Project Six's helmet back on, giving General Adam back control. However, the General- believing that Project Six was naturally mindless and incapable of doing anything without being under the control of something else, attributing its rampage to Booster- then turned on Booster, commanding Project Six to capture him. When General Adam attempted to have Booster Gold subjected to mind-crippling interrogation, Booster Gold shot down a girder, knocking the control helmet off him. At the same time, an image of "Project Superman" appeared on a computer screen. The two events caused Project Six's true personality to resurface again. As Project Six rampaged, badly beating Booster Gold, Alexandra put on the control helmet, forcing him to rip open his own chest, killing himself.
