* DueToTheDead: With Doomsday seemingly killed by the Radiant in their first encounter together, the Calatonians follow their burial customs for him instead of just destroying the body. They bound the creature's body with metallic bonds, seal him up inside a thick walled cube container, and shipped him off into outer space where he would do no harm... or so it seemed, as the ship was knocked off its course by an asteroid field and crash-landed on Earth in its distant past.

* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: During Clark's nightmare in the first issue, he reverts back to his childhood self (symbolizing his fear of the monster that killed him). To drive home how hopeless he feels, young Clark is physically changed...but he's still in his adult-sized Superman costume (which is now hopelessly oversized on his shrunken frame and symbolizing how useless and defenseless Clark feels).
Added DiffLines:
* TaughtByExperience: Invoked during Superman's rematch with Doomsday. With hindsight, Clark realizes now he a made a serious mistake in their original confrontation: relying too much on brute force and hand-to-hand combat. This close-quarters combat contributed significantly to Doomsday wearing down Clark's invulnerability as fast as he did over the course of their running battle. Out of the gate, Clark switches tactics this time around -- opting for ranged attacks with his heat vision and other abilities. It initially works...until Doomsday adapts.
