According to Superman’s scientific ally, Dr. Shay Veritas, Doomsday can enter and exit the Phantom Zone at will. Also, Doomsday’s blood now has a virus that incinerates anything within a hundred yards, which means Superman is the only one who can survive a direct confrontation with it. In a Justice League meeting in how to confront Doomsday, Lex Luthorinforms them Doomsday is absorbing the life-force of his victims in order to become powerful enough to defeat Superman.

Superman confronts Doomsday in outer space. The battle ends in Smallville, where Superman rips Doomsday in half. To prevent Doomsday’s toxin from spreading across the world, Superman inhales it all from Doomsday’s corpse and falls unconscious.
