Doomguy games

He was given an Argent energy-charged exomantle of controversial design known as the Praetor Suit by a rogue demon, [10] who was reviled by his own kind as a traitor called the The Wretch for aiding the Doom Slayer's bloody cause.

Contrary to previous incarnations, this version is more vaguely characterized: the Doom Slayer is never seen nor heard other than from the first person, and other than gameplay at the beginning of the game that shows him having a Caucasian skin color and the muscular masculine suit seen in the introduction, practically no details are revealed.

However, the Doom Slayer's eyes and nose can be made out through the visor of his helmet on the game's box art, the 3D model viewer, and his Quake Champions appearance. He is a 3D animated figure placed on the left side of the table that fights the leaders of demon waves on the opposite side of the table, which are also 3D figures, when the player encounters one.

The table's dot-matrix display also occasionally shows the face of the original Doomguy from the game. The Doom Slayer will return in Doom Eternal , the sequel to the Doom reboot, in which he sets out to continue his war against the legions of Hell as they expand their presence into various realms in the universe, including Earth, Heaven and Phobos. In the s Doom novels , the main character is referred to as Flynn "Fly" Taggart.

His past is similar to that of the protagonist in the original Doom , having been demoted after disobeying command to save some of his fellow marines. He is a combat veteran of wars raging on Earth for its remaining resources, including one between the United States and Russia. After arriving on Mars, he is resigned to his fate as a "glorified security guard".

During the Hellish invasion Kane is forced to take command of several of the surviving marines despite his stripped ranking. He battles the demons singlehandedly or with a few other marines. He is depicted as compassionate to his fellow survivors, working to save the child Theo, and to save the damned in Hell. After volunteering to enter Hell to retrieve the soul cube, Campbell is shown as very impressed by him.

He and Maria start to feel romantic ties to each other. During the end of Doom 3: Maelstrom , Kane's leg is blown off and he is admired as the "man who saved Mars City". Reaper abandoned his scientific heritage and joined the military to forget about this personal tragedy, eventually becoming a member of the elite Rapid Response Tactical Squad. Grimm, his commanding officer Sarge and the other members of the RRTS are dispatched to the UAC Mars facility to investigate the disappearance of several scientists, where they confront humans who have mutated into demons after being injected with an artificial 24th chromosome.

Near the end of the film, Grimm is fatally wounded and injected with the chromosome by his sister to save his life. Instead of becoming a monster, Grimm is granted superhuman strength, reflexes, and regenerative abilities. These new abilities allow him to single-handedly mow down a small horde of monsters and zombies.

After killing the now-mutating Sarge, Grimm leaves the base with his nearly-unconscious sister in his arms. The Marine's corpse appears in a secret area in Duke Nukem 3D ; he is seen halfway through his Classic Doom death animation clutching his throat and gurgling, surrounded by various Satanic iconography. Upon seeing him, Duke Nukem says, "That's one doomed space marine".

He is voiced by David Locke. This was included because Activision , publisher of the Tony Hawk series and Doom 3 , wanted to promote the latter, which was still in development. He is described as 72 inches 1. The third Doom Marine in the game, a woman named "Crash", is mentioned as being Doom's training instructor before arriving at the Arena. In Rage , after the first cut scene, the player enters a dune buggy with a bobble head of the Marine on the dashboard.

The Easter egg in the game's Gearhead vault level is the first room from the Doom game, where the player can pick up a Doom Marine bobblehead. Doomguy is a playable character in the game Quake Champions. In , GameDaily included the Marine on its list of "ten game heroes who fail at the simple stuff" for his inability to look up and down in the original series. Doomguy's incarnation has received special acclaim for its characterization and how the game presents the player character as a representation of the player playing Doom: writing for GamesRadar , David Houghton called the presentation "incidental, not explicit", which allows the players to immerse completely in the character.

Which is hopefully representative of the player's motivation. Template:Doom series. Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki Explore. Wiki Content. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? The Slayer teleports to a destroyed Los Angeles and kills Deag Nilox, but the Khan Maykr teleports the two remaining priests to unknown locations, forcing the Slayer to continue searching.

After retrieving a celestial locator from the Sentinel world of Exultia, the Slayer travels to Hell to retrieve a power source from a fallen Sentinel known as the Betrayer. He warns the Slayer that humanity's time has come before giving him the power source and a special dagger.

In response, the Khan Maykr moves Deag Grav to a hidden location and accelerates the invasion of Earth. Forced to change tactics, the Slayer destroys the Super Gore Nest in central Europe, where the invasion began. Hayden, who knows the location of Deag Grav.

The Slayer makes his way to an ARC compound where he retrieves Hayden's robotic shell, as well as the Crucible before facing a Marauder, a demonic Sentinel sent to stop the Slayer. With the only portal to Sentinel Prime located in the ancient city of Hebeth in Mars' core, to which there is no immediate access.

After reaching Sentinel Prime, flashbacks reveal the Slayer to be Doomguy. Found badly wounded by Sentinels, Doomguy was brought before the Deags and was forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena. In the present, the Slayer finds Deag Grav in the arena and defeats a massive demon known as the Gladiator. Despite knowing that it is against Sentinel law to murder Deag Grav on sacred ground, the Slayer kills him anyways and returns to the fortress.

Upon his return, the Slayer's fortress is shut down remotely by the Khan Maykr to prevent any further interference in her plans. She reveals her intentions to resurrect the demon world-eating super-predator, the Icon of Sin, to consume mankind before having the Slayer attacked by demons.

Surviving the ambush, the Slayer uses the demonic Crucible's latent Argent energy to reactivate the fortress and travels to Argent d'Nur to retrieve his own Crucible from his time in the Sentinels. Due to the sheer fact that Doomguy has fought countless demons in addition to being a capable warrior eventually allowed him to be an incarnation of badassery itself thus making him invincible and unstoppable force to be reckoned with.

Doomguy's ability to absorb Argent Energy via his Praetor Suit, which reroutes it throughout the suits subsystems and into his body. This alone will grant him the following benefits as seen below. Through means only known to Doomguy himself, he is able to tap into the mystical powers of the runes themselves. The moment he does so allows him to equip at least three runes at a time which grants him augmentations to his already impressive abilities.

Doomguy is capable of mastering every weapon he comes across, which includes firearms as he is known to handle them with care.

He is also a capable weapon modifier that allows his already impressive weaponry arsenal to much deadlier effects. As seen in the version of Doom brings about Doomguy's ability to perform Glory Kills.

Doomguy has different sets of Glory Kills as he can only perform them whenever his enemies become staggered for any reason. This is when the lore starts to get exceptionally dense. After some time, possibly years, of fighting the demons in hell, the Doomguy is teleported to a planet called Argent D'Nur. While we don't know how or why the Doomguy was teleported to Argent D'Nur, we know from a flashback cutscene that upon arriving he is crazed and can't stop ranting and raving about demons.

He is forced to fight in the coliseum by edict of Night Sentinal law, where his rage and fortitude impress the Argenta. Not long after, the forces of hell invade Argent D'Nur. The Night Sentinels are not only caught off-guard but are also ill-equipped to handle the power of Hell.

The turn to the guidance of their God Mother, the Kahn Maykr, to help them save their planet from the demons. The Maykr are a race of celestial beings that come from a world called Urdak. The Argenta worship the Maykr, and in particular, their leader, the Kahn Maykr. Long ago, the Kahn Maykr discovered a prophecy of sorts that suggested someday Urdak and the Maykr would fall, and that the one to defeat them, the "Unholy One," would originate from the Argenta.

The Maykr were unaware of the Hell and its demon until they invaded, but upon study of a demon they discovered the Essence that gave them power. The Maykr traveled to hell and created factories to harness the Essence from hell and funnel it back to the Argenta.

The Argenta used this "Argent Energy" to make the weapons they needed to fight the forces of hell. The Doomguy, known to the Argenta as "The Outlander," is the only one with knowledge and experience fighting the demons. The Night Sentinels continued to fight the demons for years, traveling back and forth through the portal to hell. Eventually, the forces of Hell push back in a major show of force by bringing a massive Titan through to attack Taras Nabad, a major city on Argent D'Nur.
