Line 5:
{{quote| Also known as "[[Fan Nickname|Doomguy]]". In the original ''Doom'', he's a nameless marine sent to do grunt work on Mars after an incident over not wanting to kill innocent people on Earth causes him to lash out against his commanding officer. During his [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|dull-as-dirt assignment]], it seems the scientists of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) are conducting experiments with teleporters when everything falls to pieces. One of Mars' moons and a UAC outpost, Deimos, completely vanishes into the ether while another, Phobos, is immediately overrun by [[The Legions of Hell]]. Everyone is either slaughtered or converted into minions of the invaders. The marine dispatches to Phobos, where he proceeds to clean up the situation as brutally as possible. During his one-man war against the forces of Hell, he discovers what became of Deimos (ended up floating above Hell itself) and then treks down to the surface of Hell to finish the job.}}

He makes it out in one piece but in the second game, he voluntarily returns to Hell and completely wrecks the joint, to the point that he is left to wonder what would become of the evil men in the world when they die.
Line 17:

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: After returning from Hell at the end of the first game, he volunteers to lead the strike force to recapture Earth's last spaceport and evacuate the last surviving humans. Then after ''that'' he volunteers to go '''back into Hell''' to reverse the invasion.
* [[Guest Fighter|Guest Skater]]: Doomguy is a secret character in the PC version of ''[[
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[No Name Given|No Official Name Given]]: While he has plenty of fanon names (and a couple arguably canonical), the Doomguy really has no official, cemented name. Romero stated that he wanted the players to feel like THEY were the marine and to invent their own personality.

{{quote| These were the soldiers on Mars (and then Earth) who were "conscripted" into the armies of Hell as front line defenders.
