The Reasons Why Doomsday Is Actually A Runaway Slave

Shouts to all my comic fans who've been waiting for the latest assessment of comics.  Today my subject is the "villain" from Superman comics, Doomsday.  As you know this character was first introduced in the "Death Of Superman" story.  This massive creature threatens Earth & the only one who can stop him is Superman. Superman dies trying to stop this creature.  I just noticed that Doomsday reminds me of the undying spirit of the black man fighting white supremacy.  Now some of y'all  are wondering how does this dynamic work.  Well there are a few reasons why Doomsday represents the "Black Struggle"

1.  Strength - He's stronger than the "white champion of Earth" who is Superman.  When he's first introduced he's bound by cables & is still a scary threat.  He defeats a few heroes with just one arm.  Doomsday is so strong that Superman bleeds & has whelps all over his body.  His resilience is also unwavering, because he has a goal to destroy no matter what.  Just like a slave who's trying to escape & will kill to get freedom.

2. Experimented & Manipulated - In his creation, he was a Kryptonian experiment to create the perfect being.  He was thrown into the wild, killed then cloned from the dead flesh. This experiment was done over numerous times to the point that Doomsday detested all life, due to being killed so many times.  After dying & re-dying so many times he was able to evolve past needing to eat or sleep.  He eventually killed his creator after realizing he was behind his agony.  However he would become the pawn of other characters such as Lex Luthor & Darkseid.  Have you ever noticed how some folks who control a person & when the person becomes conscious of this they rebel?  Doomsday rebels against who controls him & his controllers feel betrayed, just like slave masters.  The whole notion of "Look at what I've given you." comes into play.  The master always feels betrayed when the slave becomes conscious of their surroundings & plight.  When the slave wants to emancipate themselves, it's a threat to the master's control.  Then the slave becomes the threat & must be eliminated.

3. Appearance -  It's the first thing you notice about him, his size & color of skin.  He looks like a man of color.  Doomsday's hair is white suggesting some age, & even has hard bone shards protruding out of his chin.  The bone shards look like a beard.  His size reflects the old "field slave" or "Brute" as they were referred to.

Here's some pics to help illustrate my point:

Notice his skin, & him breaking the chains of his "oppressor"

The early appearances, notice how he's trying to
escape his bondage,  Notice that you don't
see what he looks like

I must stop your Negro domination.

4. The Mental State - As you know Doomsday has the mental state of an animal when he's introduced.  Meaning he lives solely by instinct & nothing more.  Remember for years black men were considered like wild animals.  However were still aware of their surroundings, so that means with each new experience Doomsday became smarter.  At one particular point Doomsday become sentient & is able to communicate with others.  His new intelligence along with his immense strength makes him extremely dangerous.  Now the "slave" has come 180 degrees by now being the master of himself.  Now the white power structure in the book represented by Lex Luthor & Superman must put him down.  However now that Doomsday has become sentient, due to genetic tampering. Now Doomsday has some Kyrptonian DNA so he has a weakness from Kryptonite like Superman. This weakness along with his intellect, means he knows pain & fear. In turn having fear empowers the White Power Structure, because now they can manipulate his fear.  Now that they know Doomsday can only go so far for what he desires, he will have limitations.  Before when he was introduced he was a fearless engine of destruction.  Now he's just a shell of what he was.  Same as black people in America.


Synopsis - So if you look at these similarities I've pointed out, the writers might have been subconsciously talking about race relations.  Maybe the writer & artist feel that people of color have "invaded" the U.S. or if we get out of control we must be reined in.  This is just me looking at imagery & how it plays out in race relations.  For some folks their racist notions can manifest in creations, even though it's on a subconscious level.  I could also be reading too much into it, but there are sometime too many factors supporting my theory.  Especially being conscious of race, true black history, & race relations in America.  Just take time to  look closely.  To any of the millions of comic readers that take offense to this, you need to chill.  It's my opinion & you love it.
