* ''Superman For Earth'', a 1990s Earth Day comic printed entirely on recycled paper, shows Superman trying to clean up Earth by himself. Eventually, he has a nightmare where Metropolis springs up out of natural surroundings and chokes everything, creating a world where only roaches, rats, and mutated humans survive, with a very graphic panel of a man dying of smog and being covered by crawling roaches.

** As if Doomsday wasn't bad enough on his own, his return in ''The Doomsday War'' makes it even worse, when circumstances lead to Doomsday's body being taken over by the mind of ''Brainiac''. In the past, these two respective foes have lost to Superman because Brainiac is essentially physically human once Superman can get past his technological and telepathic defences, while Doomsday is physically powerful but intellectually limited so that his only 'strategy' in a fight is basically to keep hitting his opponent. With Brainiac's mind in Doomsday's body, Superman is faced with an amalgamation of two of his most powerful and dangerous enemies, combining both of their strengths with seemingly none of their weaknesses, requiring him to resort to desperate measures to 'exorcise' Brainiac from Doomsday.

* The Elite from "What's So Funny About Truth Justice And The American Way?" CaptainErsatz of ComicBook/TheAuthority, they are a trio of bloodthirsty [[NinetiesAntiHero 90s Anti Heroes]] who state they are to remove all the evil in the world, not answering to any governments or laws. They do what they please and refuse to answer for any consequences.
** Their first outing has them stopping a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant]] KillerGorilla, and in the process destroyed a chunk of the city it was attacking. Their powers mean they could have easily stopped the gorilla without causing any collateral damage, but as demonstrated any time they respond to villains in the rest of the issue, they don't care. It doesn't to matter to them how many people die as long as they win.
** The group leader Manchester Black wants to kill villains who Superman has already detained without resorting to lethal force, he also tells his teammate the Hat to murder the villains and their families as a warning to future villains.
** When Superman has enough of the Elite, they challenge him to fight, the members eagerly claiming which body part they want to damage. They only eager to take the fight outside of Metropolis when Superman requests it, afterwhich they inflict a brutal beatdown on him while Manchester Black gives a speech about how Elite will being doing this. He boasts that MightMakesRight, and anybody who defies the Elite will be killed. Thankfully it turns out that Superman was just messing the Elite before defeating them and demonstrating how terrifying he would be if he did things their way, as the Elite swore they would kill anyone who came to avenge Superman's death.

He was torn apart by indigenous beasts, had his lungs burned out by the red-hot atmosphere, got poisoned, and died in who knows how many other ways until he finally learned to stop dying by such means. And not only was this an ongoing process for more than ''thirty years'', but Doomsday remembers ''every single moment'' of his suffering. [[FreudianExcuse The resulting trauma has burdened him]] with [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy a hatred and fear for all living things]], but ''[[ItsPersonal especially]]'' Kryptonian lifeforms, and unintentionally implanted an impetus to [[OmnicidalManiac kill every living thing he came across]] because [[TragicVillain he genuinely believes that's the only way he can be safe]].
* '''Everything''' about Doomsday, including but not limited to...
** His first appearance: In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', Doomsday just ''[[DiabloExNihilo shows up out of absolutely nowhere]]'' and [[GenericDoomsdayVillain goes on a killing spree for seemingly no reason]]. The Justice League arrive to stop him... and he beats them all up solo, even with [[WithMyHandsTied one of his hands still restrained]]. Superman was forced to fight him, and it ''wasn't'' the CurbStompBattle people were hoping for in-universe. In the end, it culminated in a brutal DuelToTheDeath that ended with a MutualKill. Yes, Doomsday accomplished what [[ArchEnemy Luthor, Brainiac and Zod]] couldn't: he ''[[HeroKiller killed Superman]]''. And he didn't need Kryptonite to do it, either.
** His powerset: Every time Doomsday dies, [[BackFromTheDead he comes back to life]]. And thanks to his AdaptiveAbility, [[SoLastSeason whatever killed him before will not work again]]. This has given him a biology to fear; SuperStrength, NighInvulnerability with a HealingFactor on top of that, [[InASingleBound the ability to cross vast distances by jumping]], [[SpikesOfVillainy bone-like protrusions]] that make it hazardous to fight him up close and [[TheNeedless a complete lack of dependency on food, drink or even breathable air]], [[SuperpowerLottery among other things]]. Not even ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s Omega Beams can keep him down forever. [[AlwaysABiggerFish Now that's terrifying.]] But not as terrifying as how he ''got'' that ability in the first place...
** His backstory: ''ComicBook/SupermanDoomsdayHunterPrey'' showed us how Doomsday came to exist. Short version, DarkAndTroubledPast doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it. Long version, he first came into being as a {{Designer Bab|ies}}y created as part of an alien MadScientist called Bertron's experiments to create the UltimateLifeForm. The process of the experiments was to send him out into perennially hostile environment that was [[DeathWorld prehistoric Krypton]], where he was subject to countless {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}s followed by clone-induced rebirth and rehashing. He was torn apart by indigenous beasts, had his lungs burned out by the red-hot atmosphere, got poisoned, and died in who knows how many other ways until he finally learned to stop dying by such means. And not only was this an ongoing process for more than ''thirty years'', but Doomsday remembers ''every single moment'' of his suffering. [[FreudianExcuse The resulting trauma has burdened him]] with [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy a hatred and fear for all living things]], but ''[[ItsPersonal especially]]'' Kryptonian lifeforms, and unintentionally implanted an impetus to [[OmnicidalManiac kill every living thing he came across]] because [[TragicVillain he genuinely believes that's the only way he can be safe]].

* The fact that ComicBook/LexLuthor has a point: in RealLife, having a super-duper-powered extraterrestrial being hovering around, of whom we know only what he wants us to know however generous, with exclusive access to alien technology and capable of imposing his will upon humans at very least is actually frightening, no matter whatever good will Superman has towards Earth. The guy can even destroy the planet by accident. Triple points when we take into account that Luthor is not even considering that Superman hides among us...

* In ''Superman'' #65 (1950), the Man of Steel comes upon Kryptonian survivors for first time... three outlaws who attempted to blackmail their way into ruling the planet by making the atmosphere unbreathable.
!!!Silver Age
* ''Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane'' #55 epitomizes why you never, ever, let Krypts near from Red-Kryptonite. ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} hypnotizes her cousin into making whatever she wants, lock Lois up in a coffin and is going to freeze her into suspended animation for a thousand years. Luckily that's when Kara snapped out of K-induced craziness... but notice if a Kryptonian goes insane and wants to bury you alive you can't outrun him, overpower him or doing anything, really.
