Type: The real deal
You're Superman. You were once killed by Doomsday. You got better, but so did he (as in, more powerful). How do you defeat him? How about with a little help from a Mother Box and her manipulation of your costume... This thing has:1. Cool 90s straps (no function)
2. Cool 90s leg belts (no function)
3. Gambit's open-faced cowl thing (no function and uncool)
4. A loin cloth (no function and soooo uncool)
5. A boom tube (to get to Doomsday's location)
6. Ultrasonic gun (Doomsday's auditory canals simply close up)
7. Lightsaber (Doomsday heals from any cuts instantly)
8. A time travel bracelet (Ahhh, that does it, Doomsday is eaten up by entropy at the end of the time)Were that it had been the end...

His super-crotch is very pointy!
this was a good mini-series. aside from what is mentioned in this posting it also included the origin (clever concept)of Doomsday and a confrontation between Doomsday and Darksied. boy i sure wish i had my very own mother box.
"Boy I sure wish I had my very own mother box." Try saying that in Buster Bluth's voice; it becomes a religious experience.
For some reason, I remember this costume showing up first with the comic included in the Kenner Superman/Doomsday action figure 2-pack.
There's where the "Fact File" comes from, actually.
I did enjoy Doomsday's origin, even though it never explained how he ended up buried in a field in Ohio prior to his fight with the JLA and then Superman. I don't much care anymore, but I always wanted some sort of connective tissue to why he was there.
Wayne, I don't have my collection handy to check but I'm pretty sure that was explained at some point. If it wasn't in Hunter/Prey, it must have been in the Doomsday Year One annual in 1995.
