Doomsday
Doomsday is a seemingly unstoppable behemoth who adapts his physical form to overcome and destroy anything or anyone in his path. He is best known for being the attempt murderer of Superman and Supergirl.

- The Brute: Anyone who can wrest control of his mind tends to employ him as this.
- Composite Character: His appearance is mostly based on his Injustice incarnation.

- Enemy to All Living Things: He exists solely to kill all living things.
- From a Single Cell: He is able to revive from even the smallest piece of him.
- Generic Doomsday Villain: The Trope Namer. His sole reason for being was almost putting Superman to his death before he succumbed into a coma. And to defeat Superman, Doomsday had to be overtly strong and feral to the point he has basically no personality, being comparable to an angry stampeding animal.
- Genetic Memory: The memory of each and every one of his previous deaths is imprinted onto his consciousness. This is pretty impressive considering Doomsday is usually considered a Dumb Muscle, yet due to the nature of his powers and physiology, he can perfectly and vividly remember the circumstances that he had been through in all of his previous lives. Something which Bertron learned the hard way.

And no matter how many times he dies, he'll simply come back, immediately ready to kickstart another path of rage and destruction. What makes this power especially potent is the fact that whatever death Doomsday had is registered into its physiology and adapts to what caused it, giving Doomsday an evolutionary jump and making him immune to whatever killed him in his previous life.
- Spikes of Villainy: That can extend and stab Superman.
- Superpower Lottery: Doomsday being an attempt at creating the ultimate predator and warrior meant that it had to have adapted several times to acquire various different powers and abilities in it's own millions of years of existence. It already possessed superhuman strength, speed, and durability by the time it arrived on Earth and duked it out against the Justice League and Superman. Later on, not only does it gain more new powers like electronic manipulation, heightened intelligence, flight, laser beams, and a lethal virus carrier, but its own existing powers become better and more proficient over time.

The GL Corps and the Reach have some history...
