Discover the Shocking (and Funny) New Weakness of Doomsday You Won’t Want to Miss

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Superman #22!

Doomsday: The Indestructible Adversary

Doomsday is perhaps one of Superman’s most formidable foes, as he is notoriously difficult to defeat, being both unkillable and uncontrollable. In a surprising twist, Lex Luthor appears to have devised a rather absurd method to handle the Doomsday dilemma. Regardless of the assault he endures, any attempts to eliminate Doomsday seem futile since he can always resurrect, a fact Luthor is trying to counteract.

New Players in the Game: The Intentions Behind the Move

Intriguingly, a new entity is set on taking Doomsday off Superman’s hands, ostensibly with the goal of exacting their own form of punishment. While this prospect may seem like a remarkable opportunity for the Man of Steel, doubt lingers in Superman’s mind regarding the intentions of this faction. Given that Doomsday was originally engineered as a weapon, Superman fears this new group may harness him for their own ends. Fortunately, Lex Luthor appears to be shaping a plan to contain Doomsday effectively.

Can Lex Luthor Outmaneuver Doomsday?

At this juncture, the specifics of Luthor’s scheme remain ambiguous, but insights from recent events might offer clues. Luthor recently experienced a fleeting memory involving Brainiac, recalling the time when Brainiac effectively shrank and imprisoned a cadre of heroes within small containers. This key moment suggests that Luthor may be considering a similar tactic: shrinking Doomsday and confining him in a jar.

The Feasibility of a Simple Solution

Although this approach might seem laughably simplistic, it holds the potential for success against Doomsday. His evolutionary abilities only activate upon death; thus, if Doomsday remains in a static state, he could be kept at bay. However, the notorious difficulty of securing him poses a significant challenge. Previous efforts, such as sending him to the Phantom Zone, have proven ineffective, as Doomsday managed to break free each time. Yet, the technology developed by Brainiac could be pivotal; it previously managed to contain an entire city of Kryptonians and might serve to quell Doomsday’s might, even while reducing his size.

Brainiac’s Technology: A Possible Key to Victory

Doomsday’s longstanding pattern of giving Superman grief is deeply entrenched in comic lore. Each scheme that Superman has employed against him, from teleportation loops to dimensional prisons, has ended in failure. Ultimately, Luthor might be the last hope for Superman to rid himself of this relentless foe. With his rich history of interaction with Brainiac, Luthor’s intellect could navigate the complexities of Brainiac’s technology, allowing him to devise a scheme where Superman could produce an indestructible vessel to restrain a minimized Doomsday. Strikingly, Doomsday’s evolutionary response to defeat would be stifled, allowing Superman the chance to emerge victorious.
