The Doom Slayer was introduced as the player character in the 1993 video game ''Doom'', in whose story text screens and instruction manual he is simply referred to as "you". Indeed, the original id Software development team deliberately avoided assigning personal identity to the character in an effort to make him an immersive stand-in for the player, leaving him nameless; the only clue to his identity is the portrait at the bottom of the screen which reacts to what happens in the game. | The Doom Slayer was introduced as the player character in the 1993 video game ''Doom'', in whose story text screens and instruction manual he is simply referred to as "you".

In ''Doom''{{'}}s manual, the character is described as a marine from a futuristic earth. After attacking and critically wounding a commanding officer who ordered his troops to fire on civilians, the marine was transferred to the planet Mars to perform menial guard duty for the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) – a megacorporation which uses Mars and its moons, Phobos and Deimos, as sites to perform military-sanctioned testing for interdimensional travel. These tests went lethally awry when the experimental moon gateways opened up from the inside to reveal portals to Hell, from which a glut of demons emerged, mutated the UAC personnel into zombies, and conquered the moons. | In ''Doom''{{'}}s manual, the character is described as a marine from a futuristic earth.

*As with other [[Mii]] Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''Doom'', the series the Slayer hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name, despite the wordmark featuring the franchise's name. However, like [[Dante]] and [[Dragonborn]], this change was also present in the UK presentation. | *As with other [[Mii]] Costumes based on characters from primarily M-rated franchises, the logo for ''Doom'', the series the Slayer hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name, despite the wordmark featuring the franchise's name.
