 * HistoryText            = The Doomsday Virus is a collection of viral spores that are emitted from Doomsday, slowly turning those infected into beings like itself if infected properly. Doomsday also is capable of, if enough spores are taken in, such as during its death, transforming others into itself, complete with a version of itself with their intellect taking shape in their mind. Over time, the infection degenerates the mind into that of a monster of mindless rage.

Superman: Doomed
Superman was infected with the Doomsday Virus when he intentionally inhaled all of the spores in the area after tearing the monster in half to avoid others dying of infection. Over time, he grew more volatile, and began to take on a look not dissimilar from Doomsday's own, a kind of "SuperDoom." He was eventually freed of his infection while fighting Brainiac.

Steel was infected during the fight with Doomsday, but managed to hold off the necrotic degeneration by covering himself with an organic steel coating until such a time as a cure could be found.

Brainiac believed that Supergirl would kill her father, the Cyborg Superman, and then go on to kill the infected Superman and become infected herself, but miscalculated her murderous intent as she simply knocked the cyborg unconscious.

Dark Nights: Metal
Devastator of the Dark Knights intentionally took in the Doomsday Virus in the hope of fighting his world's Superman in the Dark Multiverse. By a week after the Dark Knights' arrival, the Devastator had unleashed the virus upon Metropolis, transforming others including Lois Lane and Jon Kent into Doomsdays.
