That is not the guy who should have killed Superman
Why not though? Brand new adversary, unpredictable, uncharted...threw one and all off their gameplan.
Everyone else tried and failed. I couldn't imagine a Daily Planet headline that screamed....Toyman kills Superman....Imp kills Superman...Bizarro am killo Superman etc...
I was still pintsized and cyborg-Superman looked awesome....that was a cool childhood memory.

I like that Doomsday wasn’t an opponent that could be reasoned with or tricked. He had to fight him down and dirty. I think every time I read it , it gets better.

Of those listed Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? which is a wonderful story. My actual personal favourite is probably this one though:

Put me down for "None of the above." It's a tie between Elliot S! Maggin's two novels, Superman: Last Son of Krypton and Superman: Miracle Monday. Both have tremendous depth to the story and characterizations; in fact, Maggin's Luthor is the most believably complex version, ever. He nails what made Jonathan Kent's teaching so central to who Superman is, establishes both sides of the Superman/Clark identity, his relationship to his friends, and he is the rare writer to provide a strategy for how Superman applies his powers to deal with an emergency. Maggin was always one of the better Superman writers; but, it seemed like he got more freedom to be mature, with the novels, than he ever did in the comics (probably not edited by Julie Schwartz) and he still stayed true to what had been done in the comics. Last Son of Krypton is awesome. I remember being blown away that the Guardians of the Universe and Oa played a big part in it. Haven't read it since I was 10, but that stuck with me.
