Could the Seed actually kill ANY organic being?

    After seeing Batman V Superman and thinking..ohhh spoilers btw...
    How basically Doomsday cannot be killed by any energy based weapon
    How about the seed? Considering the seed can supposedly cyberform ANY organic material, is it possible it could cyberform even the toughest of organic beings, like say, Thor or Superman?

    My guess is probably no, but I was wondering if anyone had an actual thought out answer.

    It was seen in use in the prologue: the Creators wiped out the dinosaurs with the Seeds, and harvested the metal from their bodies to make Transformers.

    According to Optimus:
    "Thousands of planets were cyberformed with Seeds. They turned your life into our elemental metal. Our creators destroyed your species to make us."
    "The blast wave will incinerate that city into molten metal. He'll have enough to build a massive army, and annihilate your species for ever."

    So yeah.

    It's a silly question but yes I am sure the creators in the fictional universe encountered a species comparable to Doomsday and killed them.

    Regarding Doomsday, he is constantly evolving to cope with any weapons that could do damage to him. The only way he was defeated in the comics was by being constantly teleported so that he couldn't reform himself.

    So the Seed might not work on him, but a space bridge could.

    God, that's one of my least favorite cliches. "He can only be hurt that way once." "Why's that?" "Shut up. It just is."

    Doomsday's cellular structure was capable of adapting to anything, but he had to survive to adapt. In Superman Doomed he did not survive Superman, but his cells contaminated Supes. But there would be no organic contamination left in a blast radius of the Seed.
    If the Seed could destroy all organic matter in his body when he gets into blast radius, it would be too late for adaptation.

    Frankly, the Seed is basically on the same level of impossibly overpowered macguffins with artifacts like the Ultimate Nullifier or the Infinity Gauntlet. It just transmutes everything in its radius to a dead metal for harvesting.

    See this is what I was getting at. Technically ALL organic material can be destroyed by the seed. Which means that it could literally kill ANY being with said organic material. Even thanos, superman, doomsday, maybe even hulk.

    It killed the dinosaurs so it's definitely lethal to alien species.

    I can't really imagine a cybertronian version of Doomsday. Optimus has to get one hell of an upgrade to match up.

    I really doubt it. It has a very finite depth of effectiveness. I imagine, if you observed it's effects on tough enough being', you'd see levels of effectiveness corresponding to the density and durability of the target.

    What I mean to say is, it might cover superman in metal blisters, but I really doubt it'd turn him to metal, like, say, pavement or a person.

    Destroyed or converted ? Is there a chance that the organic animal exposed to the seed . Will just get up, shake it off and go about it's business as a living machine . Instead of living organic matter?
    What's his name, the traitorous twit in the movie that did catch a blast from some grenade or something. He was left standing as a metal statue . What if he is still alive and ticked off?

    No. Anyone who is caught in the blast is instantly killed. Lucas (the guy that got vaporized) was entirely converted into metal. You could see parts of his bones and skeleton with metal converted skin peeling off of his body.

    Superman's powers comes from a yellow sun, he is powerless on a world under a red sun.
    He would die instantly under a red sun.
    The question is are hulks and wolverines heqling abilities faster then reaction to the seed.
    If it is i can see them.survive, if not they would die as well

    They have a smaller blast radius, but one of them did turn TJ Miller into a statue, so they were basically a smaller, more compact version.
