None of this true. The series was never meant to end at the Cell Saga, Toriyama never stated that or even implied it. Editors never pushed to bring Goku back, Toriyama did that of his own accord. And there is no evidence that Toriyama based Goku's orgins on Superman's, nor any evidence that Goku's death was based on Do S. That's all Fan speculation and nothing more.
