Doom (series)/Fridge
- Fridge Brilliance: The nameless protagonist of Doom 3 is probably actually called "Marine Transfer", considering that is what appears on the passenger list at the start of the game (alongside Elliott Swann and John Campbell).
- Classic Doom, the Arachnotron and Spider Mastermind have, compared to other monsters, a disproportionately high chance of flinching when they're hit and being interrupted from shooting back. They're giant brains on mechanical legs. Of course they're going to be less resistant to pain.
- Which has a bit of fridge logic in itself, since a brain is the ONLY part of a body that cannot feel pain at all (it processes pain but actual harm done to the brain itself can't be felt)
- Possibly it's not actually pain, but unintended spasms caused by the punishment being rained upon them, then?

- Fridge Logic: Lampshaded in the Doom II ending: the Marine wonders where all the bad people go, now that he just blew the fuck out of Hell.
- The presence of chainsaws on Mars is also lampshaded in Doom III, where several PDAs complain about chainsaws ending up on a decidedly tree-less Mars. (They were a UAC shipping error.)
