comment |
Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey is a three-issue mini-series published by DC Comics in 1994. It was written by Dan Jurgens, with artwork by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding. In the story, which takes place some months after The Death of Superman, Superman must now face Doomsday again as he awakens from his death on board a ship headed for Apokolips. Its ruler Darkseid having failed in stopping the monster's assault, Superman comes to the aid of protecting its citizens from both Doomsday and the also newly-risen Cyborg Superman, hoping to stop the monster for good as it carries its rampage over to the planet of Calaton. With Waverider from Armageddon 2001 offering assistance, Superman learns the origin of the creature and why it was created in the first place. |

Abusive Precursors: Bertron comes from a species that lived on Kyoton before Superman's race (though it's unclear if he was a native or from elsewhere, the evdence suggests the latter). |

Gone Horribly Right: In Doomsday's origin story, Bertron created him to be the perfect unkillable creature that could not only conquer the harsh environment it was thrust into repeatedly, but would also slay its resident creatures. However, once the creature reached the point where nothing on the planet could withstand him, Doomsday turned its attention on its creators, killing them and Bertron in the process. |

Taught by Experience: Invoked during Superman's rematch with Doomsday. With hindsight, Clark realizes now he a made a serious mistake in their original confrontation: relying too much on brute force and hand-to-hand combat. This close-quarters combat contributed significantly to Doomsday wearing down Clark's invulnerability as fast as he did over the course of their running battle. Out of the gate, Clark switches tactics this time around — opting for ranged attacks with his heat vision and other abilities. It initially works...until Doomsday adapts. |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Again, Superman has to violate that principle to stop Doomsday again, albeit after confirming that Doomsday is a mindless engine of destruction that won't stop causing destruction. Given Doomsday's current level of evolution, it requires Superman to have Mother Box take them to the end of time to have entropy devour the creature in order to stop him for good. |

comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Waverider explicitly states that the Calatonians could have ended Doomsday for good by destroying his body after he was killed by the Radiant, suggesting that this was the only time Doomsday was so badly damaged it might have been possible to legitimately kill him for good. Unfortunately, they followed their usual custom of burial and "just" bound his body and sent it drifting into space. |

Before the story's end, Darkseid seals Cyborg Superman's life essence again into a small container, keeping him on hand should he ever need him. |

Had to Be Sharp: This trope is essentially Doomsday's origin story. By forcing it onto the Death World of prehistoric Krypton over and over again, retrieving DNA samples and cloning it back to life after it was killed, only the fittest and most adaptable traits of "the infant" managed to survive in the subsequent versions, until they became the genocidal, rampaging monster we know today. |

Back from the Dead: Doomsday, naturally, as his body was picked up by some space cargo freighters and it came back to life, restarting his rampage. |

Mr. Exposition: Waverider fills this roll in the middle of the storyline, telling Superman the full history of Doomsday via a projection of the circumstances of Doomsday's origin and his defeat on Calaton. |

Didn't Think This Through |
| Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey (Comic Book) / int_8d0785d5 |
comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Bertron wanted to make the Ultimate Life Form and proceeded to launch him out into prehistoric Krypton for decades, subjecting the creature to a torturous cycle where it would be "killed" and then cloned back to life with some memory of its previous death. Bertron never stopped to think what would happen when he finally succeeded or what would happen when his creation broke free of his control. |

Due to the Dead |
| Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey (Comic Book) / int_a679184b |
comment |
Due to the Dead: With Doomsday seemingly killed by the Radiant in their first encounter together, the Calatonians follow their burial customs for him instead of just destroying the body. They bound the creature's body with metallic bonds, seal him up inside a thick walled cube container, and shipped him off into outer space where he would do no harm... or so it seemed, as the ship was knocked off its course by an asteroid field and crash-landed on Earth. |

Freudian Excuse: Waverider briefly merges with Doomsday and finds out the reason for the monster's rampage — he basically sees Superman in particular (attributed to Superman's Kryptonian heritage) as a reflection of his creator/father Bertron, who caused him to die again and again, to the point where it has become a Genetic Memory. |

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: During Clark's nightmare in the first issue, he reverts back to his childhood self (symbolizing his fear of the monster that killed him). To drive home how hopeless he feels, young Clark is physically changed...but he's still in his adult-sized Superman costume (which is now hopelessly oversized on his shrunken frame and symbolizing how useless and defenseless Clark feels). |

Lamarck Was Right: Bertron's method of creating Doomsday was to keep launching clones of the same baby into the hostile environment over and over again, retrieving DNA samples and growing a new version, until the baby "evolved" into the ultimate survivor. |
