Chapter 48 - Doomsday

2008 - Metropolis, Kansas - Watchtower

I'd like to preface my decisions today with an explanation. While I'd love to have a knockdown-dragout fight with Doomsday of epic proportions. I'd love to have it broadcast across the world to show how impressive I am, cause billions in property damage, and have it etched in history that I fought Doomsday, but why not save the devastation for another time? There are plenty of world-ending entities out there. And almost all of them have actual strategy to make a fight interesting. Doomsday is a mindless beast that cannot be stopped. He will just keep getting up over and over again. Since I have superior adaptation, the same thing will happen to me. The fight will literally never end. The only thing that will be ruined is the Earth. Given that I can't completely kill Doomsday (unless I were to acquire a reality manipulation power and erase him from existence), the only option available to me that is feasible is BFR (battle field removal, as the forums say). Just having a fight with Doomsday to increase my legend around the world? That would be the height of hubris. Doomsday is the one enemy I'm totally fine with using BFR to beat, as cheap as it is. You can't even taunt and play with an enemy like Doomsday since it is so mindless. It wouldn't even be a fun fight. It would be like fighting Wonderweiss from Bleach. A being with such a low IQ that just mindlessly attacks is not my idea of fun. Sorry to disappoint.

After acquiring the black kryptonite from Dr. Virgil Swann, I've been ready to separate Doomsday from its human host. It's a mindless beast bent on destruction. It has no compassion and no remorse. It must be removed from Earth.

With the powers of Shazam, I can teleport to and from the Rock of Eternity. Anywhere in the universe is accessible via the Rock of Eternity, just by imagining it.

With teleportation available, Doomsday being too dangerous to be on Earth, and killing him is not an option, as it would just resurrect and keep getting stronger - the only option is to remove him from the battlefield. While the Phantom Zone is an option, I've read some comics where certain beings were able to control Doomsday and break out somehow. I'm not taking my chances.

From what I've read about black holes, beyond the spaghettification aspect of a black hole completely atomizing anything that enters it, once matter is sucked far enough in, time stands still due to a dilation effect. Since Doomsday cannot fly, he won't be able to propel himself out of the range of the black hole, even if he manages to survive initial entry into the black hole.

There is a supermassive black hole located at the heart of a galaxy called M87 located about 55 million light-years away and weighs more than 6 billion solar masses. There's no way Doomsday can survive it, especially if I don't allow him to amp up (battling him over and over allowing him to get stronger). So far in this universe, no one has battled Doomsday at all. I don't even think Davis Bloome has died yet. So his human form is as weak as possible and his Doomsday form has not encountered any being attempting to kill it, so when it's thrown into a black hole, it only has its weakest form to rely on. I don't believe it has the durability to survive such an encounter. Maybe after dying and resurrecting countless times, it would be at a level where it could begin to survive, but definitely not now.

If by some miracle Doomsday does survive this supermassive black hole, there's no way he can escape the pull of the black hole itself. If by an even greater miracle or cosmic intervention he does escape, he will be 55 million light years away from Earth. Good luck knowing where Earth is and achieving propulsion and light speed to reach Earth.

Kelex has alerted me to mysterious deaths of criminals on the EMT routes of Davis Bloome's. Tonight, he has shifted into his Doomsday form and attacked people at a nightclub. It's time I put this to bed.

In Flash Time, I race to the roof of the nightclub Doomsday attacked and see Davis Bloome covered in blood. I grab him and teleport to the Rock of Eternity. Then, I used the black kryptonite I had attached to my belt on Davis Bloome. Immediately, a reaction takes place. From Davis Bloome's human body, the being of Doomsday emerges and begins roaring.

I enter Flash Time and place my hand on Doomsday's back from behind. I envision the supermassive black hole from the pictures I've seen, but a place far enough away where I won't immediately get sucked in. My magic responds, and I'm floating in space still in Flash Time with my hand on Doomsday's back. I fly far away from Doomsday in the opposite direction from the black hole. I use my Kryptonian speed, the speed of Mercury, and the Speed Force to launch myself as fast as possible at Doomsday with a mighty punch with all of my strength.

Doomsday's body is wrecked by my punch. The remnants are launched towards the black hole. When I see it getting beyond the point of escape, I teleport back to the Rock of Eternity.

Davis Bloome is wandering around saying "Hello! Is anybody there? Where am I?" and all variations of sayings a lost person would say. I hover in front of him and he looks shocked.

"S-Superman? What the hell is going on? Why am I here? Where am I? Why are you here?" Davis asked rushedly.

"Have you been blacking out regularly on your patrol routes? And tonight you blacked out covered in blood and the nightclub was wrecked with many victims. Do you remember how you got to the club or why you're covered in blood?"

"How do you know about that? And no, I don't remember." Davis said frantically.

"You've been killing people in your Doomsday form after transforming. What surprised me is that the first thing I would have done if I were you and having blackouts would be to wear a bodycam or rig some recording equipment to track my entire day to see what happens after my blackouts." I scolded. "But no. You wake up with blood around you, surrounded by dead bodies, and you don't take even simple steps to find out what you were doing or try to figure out what you'll do in the future. You're covered in blood, but with no wounds of your own, so the blood is obviously someone else's. Some of the victims had your DNA under their fingernails. You could have easily swabbed for DNA to backtrack your steps after you first considered you were the possible murderer. And after you first began having blackouts as a child, they would have kept you for observation, again with recording equipment that would observe these transformations, preventing all these people from dying. Because then you would have been aware of your true form."

Davis looked surprised at some of my observations, but chose to say nothing.

"I have removed your other half, so you can no longer transform. I will return you home, however, if you give in to your base impulses and commit murder even without your Doomsday persona, I will be forced to send you where I sent Doomsday. Do I make myself clear?" I said.

"Yes, sir." Davis said.

"Very well. I will take you back to the nightclub where I found you." I said.

I teleported back to the nightclub, dropping him off, then flashed back to the Rock of Eternity. I made my way to the Library of Eternity to begin reading some books on magic.
