He was sent to Earth as genetic matter attached to Kal-El's spaceship: his true monstrous form remained camouflaged, adapting to the world it was sent to until it was ready to destroy the civilization. As a human, Davis worked as a paramedic at Metropolis General Hospital. In late 2008, Davis transformed into Doomsday and under the control of Brainiac, kidnapped Chloe Sullivan, whom he took to the infected Fortress of Solitude before transforming back. He was then imprisoned in ice by Brainiac, who stated that Davis would transform completely and permanently in 12 days. However, before this time period was up, Brainiac was defeated by Clark Kent and the Legion of Super-Heroes and a transformed Davis smashed out of his imprisonment.

Davis was above average height with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was often seen wearing his paramedic uniform while working at Metropolis General. When off-duty, he usually wore casual dark clothing that was mainly black, dark blue, gray, dark brown and green, which probably reflected on his dark side. According to his biological "mother" Faora, Davis was the spitting image of his biological "father" Zod before he became a Phantom wraith. Considerable traits from Zod could be Davis' hair color and facial structure, however, this is taken from a younger version of Zod, but these characteristics possibly and probably stayed as Zod got older.
Despite the ease with which Davis related to his new friends, he carried with him the long-felt feelings of a perpetual outsider. Beneath Davis' charismatic and easygoing demeanor lied a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity. He was, however, caring and often willing to offer his services to his friends or put his job on the line, such as treating Oliver Queen without hospital aid after Oliver was poisoned. However, when transformed, Davis' darker personality was utterly ruthless, injuring or killing anyone who stood in his way: a prime example of this is his destruction of Clark's barn during his kidnapping of Chloe.
Abilities
- Reactive Camouflage : Davis was designed by his "parents" to adapt to any environment he inhabits, accounting for his human appearance and his more monstrous form.
- Reactive Adaptation : As a Kryptonian creature, Davis could adapt to anything that harmed him: this ability came from his Kryptonian DNA.
- Super Strength : Davis possessed basic-middle-level Kryptonian strength, and while he's weaker than Clark, Clark had to put effort in to overpower him. He could easily overpower or kill humans.
- Super Speed : Davis could move at speeds that far exceed the sound barrier and could also perceive the world in slow motion with his accelerated vision
- Invulnerability : Before Davis adapts to something, he's essentially in the same manner as vulnerable to something as humans are, such as tearing up due to onions.
- Super leap : Doomsday can perform highly accurate super leaps, allowing him to jump over large buildings.
- Healing Factor : Davis will heal of any wound and will become completely invulnerable to it, with this ability being linked to his reactive adaptation.
- Immortality : After adapting to kryptonite radiation, Davis stated to Chloe that he was immortal.
- Super Stamina : Davis/Doomsday could run for long periods of time without tiring.
- Kryptonian Sense : Doomsday has a genetic ability to sense any Kryptonians. He was able to sense Clark where he was and super leaped to him.
- Skilled Fighter : Davis was able to fight and overpower people easily, both as a human and as Doomsday.
- Green Kryptonite : Like all Kryptonians, Davis was vulnerable to kryptonite. When exposed to a chunk of green kryptonite as a child, Davis experienced severe pain until the kryptonite was shut in a lead box.
- Black Kryptonite : Later, when he was exposed to black kryptonite by Chloe as he began transforming into Doomsday, Davis became a separate being altogether, making Doomsday void of human emotion, ruthless, cold and virtually unstoppable, while leaving Davis a normal human being whose only 'power' was his former connection to Doomsday.
- Kryptonian dagger : A Kryptonian dagger could kill Davis if he was stabbed with it, but he'd heal and resurrect himself afterwards, but was never used on him in season eight because Clark continuously expressed that he didn't want to kill him.
- Limited Adaption : Judging by his reaction to kryptonite, when he was exposed to it as a child but was still vulnerable later, it would appear that Doomsday can only adapt to threats that actually kill him.
- Killing Urge : As shown throughout Season 8, whenever he became irritated, agitated or aggravated, Davis had to kill people in order to suppress the beast.
