Slam one day you and I are gonna have a beer, and I'm bringing my top 10 Superman books with me. Resorting to getting Slam drunk? Is that how you plan to change his mind bro?!? 😉 |

Voted Mangog just because it looks cool. Don't think I've ever read a story with Mangog or Destroyer, and only part of Death of Superman.

Check out Thor #154 - 157 for the original Mangog story - and the only essential one, that I'm aware of. |

Voted other. Went with the Dark Dimensions Mindless Ones. Overwhelming continuous onslaught of mindless beasts. Even Dormammu fears these bad boys. Honorable mentions: Surtur anyone? Bringer of Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods?!? Any version of Death in mythology given form in comics? Inevitable, unstoppable and everyone eventually succumbs. Hela, Pluto/Hades, Mistress Death, etc. The Celestials from Eternals. Providing the ultimately final judgement upon worlds? Starro? Never truly is destroyed as can simply keep regrowing itself from any tiny portions remaining?Your mention of Starro made me think of another old JLA foe, the Shaggy Man. Same deal, he always regrows and also adapts to whatever is thrown at him. The JLA usually just tries to dump him off somewhere he can't get back from, rather than truly defeating him. |

Plastic Man is notoriously hard to kill. He survived being frozen and shattered into pieces during the Obsidian Age story line (a time-travel yarn). He remained conscious in this state for thousands of years until the JLA was able to reassemble him.
He later had his heart torn out in Blackest Night, and then got better.
This is not a recommendation for either story.

I know Mangog was beaten in Thor Vol. 3 #25... so I guess I'm a vote for The Destroyer. I really don't know enough about Doomsday though. My vague impression is that every time Doomsday is killed, he will eventually regenerate and become immune to the method used to kill him. So, if you punch him to death, that won't work on him anymore when he arises back. I could be wrong though. I don't like Doomsday, he's the ultimate one-trick pony. They wanted to kill Superman, they needed a villain to do so, they created this one, they killed him and then spent a year bringing Superman back to life. Then what do you with Doomsday? I'm not sure they knew what to do with him. |
