Doomguy (ドゥームガイ, Doomguy), also referred to as the Doom Marine and the Doom Slayer (ドゥームスレイヤー, Doom Slayer) or just Slayer (スレイヤー, Slayer), is a fictional character from the Doom video game franchise of first-person shooters created by id Software, now owned by Zenimax Media as of 2009, and Microsoft by extension as of 2021.
Origin
Introduced as the player character in the 1993 video game Doom, Doomguy is the protagonist of several Doom video games, novelizations, and other media. The Marine is portrayed as a muscular man standing 6 ft 2 in (188 cm) tall and weighing 230 pounds (104 kg). His face is seen in the game's HUD, where it is shown as a Caucasian male with light brown hair, a buzz cut, and blue eyes. In single-player mode, the Marine wears green armor and a light grey space helmet that conceals his facial features. In multiplayer mode and in the ending of Doom II: Hell on Earth, the player's in-game avatar is based on this depiction, wearing green, red, brown and indigo. The Marine is firing a machine gun that doesn't make an appearance in the final game and fighting a CyberDemon. This image, with the addition of a shotgun, clutched in his left hand, is carried over to the introduction screen of Doom. The Marine appears without a helmet in the cover art of Doom II and in the ending to The Ultimate Doom episode IV, "Thy Flesh Consumed".
