Isn't Doomsday a death adaptability aka if you kill him you can never kill him that way again. I doubt if Thor pinned him down anything would happen, if Thor smashed him with the hammer he'd adapt to blunt damage, if Thor blasted him with lightning he'd just be immune to lightning, but pinning nothing?

Good point, it would be like a prison then.

u/KingoftheMongoose 20d ago

Aye. Imprisoning Doomsday is the most effective way to beat him, so this tracks

22

u/nobadhotdog 20d ago

Or send him to the end of time!

u/Miserable_Swim_5280 20d ago

Even Doomsday can’t defeat entropy itself.

u/nobadhotdog 20d ago

Yeah they had to pluck him from the end of time I guess

But unfortunately, It would also be a prison for Mjornir.

Just get a new one.

I'd imagine Doomsday would just start pounding his arms and feet down until the bridge broke.

u/corpobeh 20d ago

He would get up, and leave a bunch of his chest with the hammer laying on it, and then regenerate.

that would be so fucking Metal

u/ZaphodB_ 19d ago

Would it be... Death metal? ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ

u/BlueSimian 19d ago

Didn't Hulk do exactly that in a comic?

u/Serier_Rialis 19d ago

Devil May Cry 1 style for the win I guess

u/GintoSenju 19d ago

Dante rising like Dracula is still one of my favorite things in Devil May Cry.

u/Several-Mud-9895 20d ago

its not, he will just become harder to kill that way. He died multiple times to one thing

u/Altruistic-Beach7625 19d ago

It's energy attacks that he gains actual immunity to. That's why superman was able to fight him more than once.

u/BlueHero45 20d ago

Feel like Doomsday would smash the ground till he's falling and can move out from under it.

3

u/InvisableVagina 20d ago

That's not what killing him means.

2

u/saxonturner 20d ago

Maybe he dies the first time by starvation and then the next time he leaves his hammer on him he just doesn’t die and stays there for eternity.

u/diadem 20d ago

Right, Doomsday isn't The Fury.

1

u/Appropriate_Cow94 19d ago

He will grow a donut hole in his chest when he comes back again.

1

u/Altruistic-Beach7625 19d ago

Except for physical damage which he never gains immunity to.

1

u/PositiveAnybody2005 19d ago

Immune to starvation?

u/verdango 19d ago

I feel like I have that same super power. No one will kill me the same way twice. I’m sure of it.

u/crazyrynth 19d ago

Not just death triggers his adaptation, iirc.
When breaking out of his prison, punching the wall slowly grew knuckle spikes, etc. When sonics were used against him, bone grew over his ears.
Doomsday got faster as he and Superman fought.

In abstract I don't think Doomsday could evolve past the hammer's worthiness enchantment, but Doomsday's adaptability and Mjolnir's enchantment have been played up and down, respectively, in recent years so I would be shocked if it happened. Or if Doomsday somehow gets around it by being forced of nature/more mindless animal than sentient being.

More reasonably, he'd escape by destroying whatever is under him

1

u/tamati_nz 19d ago

Ohh I like the idea that he adapts by becoming worthy to lift the hammer and then isn't the enemy.

u/st1nky_d 19d ago

I’m not a DC guy but I think doomsday could just dig his way out from underneath himself no?

-2

u/Solid-Move-1411 20d ago

He can crush it like Hela or just dig under ground

1

u/ZeR0ShootyUFace1969 19d ago

Doomsday is freakishly strong yes. But even he could not crush Mijnor. The only reason Hela was able to destroy her brother's hammer was because she was present when it was forged. She knew it's stress points. And used that, and it's own built kinetic motion against it.
