Powers/Abilities: Due to the alien DNA merged
into his genes, Doctor Doomsday's
skin is superhumanly durable, at least sufficient shrug off energy
blasts from superhuman opponents, and his body is covered in sharp,
bony protrusions capable of rending flesh. The alien DNA also grants Doctor Doomsday
the ability to reincarnate, if killed, returning to life immune to
whatever killed him.
He also possesses superhuman strength sufficient to fight the superhumanly strong Ferro Man in hand-to-hand combat.
Doctor Doomsday wears a suit of bio-armor equipped with various offensive weapons such as energy-projecting gauntlets.
As the ruler of Latkovia, Doctor Doomsday has access to Latkovia's weapons including surface-to-air missiles.
When last seen, Doctor Doomsday possessed the stolen powers over death normally possessed by the Silver Racer.
Height: Unrevealed (approximately 7'6")
Weight: Unrevealed (approximately 400 lbs.)

History:
(Marvel Versus DC I#3) - When
the Spectre
and
Living Tribunal sought to save
both of their universes by combining them into one, Doctor Doomsday
was one of the many heroes and villains that emerged from the
amalgamated universe of Reality-9602,
complete with his own varied and lengthy history.
(Spider-Boy (Amalgam) I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Victor Von Doom was a founding member of Project Cadmus and eventually became their chief scientist.
(Challengers of the Fantastic I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Victor
aided "Prof"
Richards in creating experimental radiation shielding to protect
astronauts from cosmic radiation.
(Challengers of the Fantastic I#1 (fb)) - When "Prof" Richards, "Ace" Storm, "Red"
Storm and Sen. "Rocky" Grimm
went on a secret space flight to test cosmic radiation shielding, an
excited Richards
reported back to Victor Von Doom that
their mission was success. Richards
soon expressed wishes that Victor had
accompanied them into space but Victor
joked that he didn't want to risk anything happening to his good looks,
reminding Richards
that someone had to stay behind to monitor the secret mission. Grimm
expressed wishes that he'd stayed behind instead and when he
noted that the mission would only be a secret until they landed, at
which point they would electronically plastered across the globe via
the Heroes television
show, Von Doom thought to
himself how Richards would get
all of the glory for the spacecraft shielding despite Victor
having helped create it. Feigning assistance, Victor
then claimed that he couldn't wait to see the foursome
"plastered across the globe" as he turned a knob in the control room,
causing the craft's auto-gyros to malfunction. Completely unaware of Victor's
role in the malfunction, Richards tried to
report back but found the
radio silent, assuming they'd lost contact with Victor as
their re-entry systems went dead, and the craft soon crash-landed with
the foursome surviving to dub themselves the Challengers
of the Fantastic.
(Spider-Boy (Amalgam) I#1 (fb)) - Following a presentation from General "Thunderbolt" Ross regarding intern Peter Parker's radical idea of creating a clone with the ability to manipulate gravity, Victor Von Doom was convinced to greenlight the project.
(Amalgam trading card#85: Dr.
Doomsday (fb) - BTS) - Von Doom
became obsessed with unlocking the secrets of the alien destroyer Doomsday.
(Amalgam trading card#54: A
Monster is Born (fb) -
BTS / Amalgam trading card#85: Dr. Doomsday (fb) - BTS) - During an
examination of Doomsday, Victor
Von Doom was hit in the face when a bone fragment from
the creature exploded.
(Amalgam
trading card#54: A Monster is Born) - The alien DNA from Doomsday's
bone fragment began swiftly replicating within Doom,
transforming the handsome Victor Von Doom
into a scarred, grotesque form.
(X-Patrol I#1 (fb) - BTS) - The alien DNA fully combined with Victor Von Doom's genes, further transforming him into the most highly evolved being in existence, Doctor Doomsday.
(Spider-Boy (Amalgam) I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Victor went mad after becoming Doctor Doomsday.
(Amalgam trading card#54: A Monster is Born - BTS) -
His face now permanently resembled the rocky skinned Doomsday,
the mad Doctor Doomsday took
up the alien destroyer's mission and sought to conquer the world.
(Amalgam Canvas chase card#4: Dr. Doomsday (fb) -
BTS) - When the evil Thanoseid
acquired the five Infinity Links and
created the time-stopping Infinity Loop
that threatened to destroy the entire universe within one hour, he
promised infinite power to Doctor Doomsday
and numerous other villains in exchange for stopping Earth's heroes
from interfering with his destructive plans.
(Amalgam Canvas chase card#4:
Dr. Doomsday) - As the Infinity Loop
vortex grew larger and time ticked towards universal destruction, Doctor Doomsday
led the other assembled supervillains against Earth's heroes.
(X-Patrol I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Earning the reputation of being a monster that seemingly could not be killed, Doctor Doomsday became the ruler of the island-nation of Latkovia and once fought the Judgment League Avengers to a standstill. Some time later, Doctor Doomsday began researching two different universes that seemed to house beings resembling fragments of Earth-9602 heroes and the discovery prompted him to start work on a device to bridge dimensions and other realities, years later drawing the attention of Earth-96431's Niles Cable, who had traveled to the past of Earth-9602 in an effort to prevent his own future from coming to pass.
(X-Patrol I#1) - After forming the X-Patrol
group of mutant heroes, Niles Cable
took the newly-minted team to the air on their first mission, which he
revealed would be against Doctor Doomsday.
Dial
H.U.S.K. and Beastling
questioned whether Cable was
serious and Cable
confirmed that he was as they entered the airspace of Doctor Doomsday's
island-nation of Latveria.
As soon as X-Patrol
crossed the border into Latveria,
their X-Jet
was shot down by missiles and Ferro Man
crashed through the roof of Doctor Doomsday's
castle, immediately getting into a fistfight with the dictator. During
the fight, Doctor
Doomsday proclaimed Ferro Man to be a
dead man that would receive the honor of being killed by him and asked
if perhaps Ferro
Man was one of Erik Magnus'
creations. Ferro Man answered
that he was no robot but rather, a mutant man, but Doctor Doomsday
announced that it made no difference, as Ferro
Man was doomed from the start of his mission there. The
rest of X-Patrol
entered the castle moments later and Shatterstarfire
blasted Doctor
Doomsday aside to rescue Ferro Man.
Doctor
Doomsday retaliated by firing an energy blast of his own
from his gauntlet, narrowly missing Shatterstarfire as Elasti-Girl
suggested X-Patrol
focus their attention on Doctor Doomsday.
Dial H.U.S.K.
followed up by using her dial to transform into Polaris
and using her new magnetic abilities to pull Doctor Doomsday's
machinery down onto the despot. Doctor Doomsday
insisted that he could not be killed since his transformation via alien
DNA but Dial
H.U.S.K. assured Doctor Doomsday
that her intent was not to
kill him but rather, cage him.
As Dial H.U.S.K.
battled Doctor
Doomsday, Niles Cable
hacked into Doctor
Doomsday's computers and learned of Doctor Doomsday's
attempts to create a device to bridge realities into two different
universes. Assuming Doctor Doomsday
was planning to amass an army of beings that resembled fragments of Earth-9602
heroes, Cable opted to
destroy Doctor
Doomsday's work. Doctor Doomsday soon
escaped the metallic prison Dial H.U.S.K. had
built around him and he gloated that his superior strength, power and
intellect made him destined to rule the world. He then savagely hit Niles Cable
in the back, announcing that no one would walk away from the battle,
only to witness Elasti-Girl
grow to giant size within his computers, completely destroying his
years of work. X-Patrol
came to the aid of the severely injured Niles Cable
and Doctor
Doomsday continued battling them until X-Patrol
began to retreat to get Cable medical
attention. Fleeing the scene, Shatterstarfire
blasted Doctor Doomsday and X-Patrol
escaped Latveria
using one of Doctor
Doomsday's ships, leaving Doomsday
himself to vow that they would meet again, at which point he would
prove his superiority.
(DC/Marvel: All Access#4) - Following a battle between Earth-616's Doctor Strange and Earth-9602's Doctor Strangefate, Earth-9602 (Doctor Doomsday included) was entirely recreated inside a mystic item within Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum.
(Challengers of the Fantastic
I#1) - After the cosmic robot Galactiac
arrived in New York City and
began setting up machines to miniaturize it, Doctor Doomsday
watched from across town and listened as reports came in about the Challengers
of the Fantastic battling the robot. Feeling as if "Prof"
Richards had robbed him of his rightful glory too often,
Doctor
Doomsday began plotting a revenge scheme to get back at Richards.
A short time later, Doctor Doomsday
monitored the New Asgodian Silver Racer
falling to Earth and he took advantage of the situation, sneaking up on
the Silver
Racer to use a device to steal the Silver Racer's
power. Boarding the Silver Racer's
skies, Doctor Doomsday then
flew off into the skies, gloating that the Challengers
of the Fantastic's borrowed time had run out now that Doctor Doomsday
possessed the touch of death.
(Challengers of the Fantastic I#2)
- The Challengers of the Fantastic's
"Ace" Storm battled the Silver Racer-empowered
Doctor
Doomsday alone.

To clarify, Amalgam Comics didn't really exist beyond those seen in the few DC/Marvel crossovers. The titles you don't recognize are amalgams of similar Marvel & DC comics. --Snood
In case it's not obvious, Doctor Doomsday
is an amalgamation of Marvel's Doctor
Doom (Victor Von Doom) and DC's Doomsday.
The letters page of Assassins I#1 mentions an upcoming storyline called "The Age of Doomsday" though no details are given as to what it was since the letters page was made to resemble one in the fictional Amalgam universe. Based solely on the name, it sounds the never-published storyline might have involved Doctor Doomsday.
Doctor
Doomsday's island-nation base of Latkovia is mistakenly
referred to as "Latveria" in X-Patrol I#1 but "Latkovia"
in all other mentions/appearances.
