He is a combat engineer who gets sent to investigate the now derelict UAC Station on Mars, exactly 2 years after the events in DOOM 3. The Marine in this expansion pack is a different protagonist who is also nameless and voiceless. After defeating the Cyberdemon in Hell, the Marine safely returns to the UAC station alive when he is rescued by the reinforcements from Earth.ĭOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil Different Marine, Same Attitude Betruger, Head Scientist and the man responsible for the disaster. With him miraculously being one of the few who did get turned into a possessed soldier, the Marine sets off to defeat the Hellish horde and eliminate Dr. He is immediately sent to find a missing scientist in one of the facilities around the same time the UAC has accidentally open the portal to Hell, unleashing mayhem on Mars. The Marine is the newest member to be stationed at the UAC station on Mars. In Doom 3, Doomguy is simply referred to as "the Marine." His appearance is more human with the lack of full-body armor and helmet, making him more vulnerable looking than in previous incarnations. After this, the Marine accepts his fate of eternal confrontation with demons and decides to close the gateway between Hell and our universe from inside, thereby staying in Hell forever to prevent any further invasions once and for all. Thankfully, Doomguy manages to re-enter Hell and kills her. Hell tries once again to reach our universe in Doom 64under the leadership of Mother Demon. However, he got revenge by killing most of the demons that invaded Earth in the expansion episode, "Thy Flesh Consumed" of The Ultimate Doom, not to mention the sequel, Doom Il: Hell on Earth.ĭOOM 64 "Hey, Ma! Look. This bunny was killed by the invading demon hordes at some point before the end of the last episode of Doom, "Inferno". He has a pet rabbit, Daisy, who he left behind on Earth when he was shipped to Mars. He seems to enjoy using weapons, as he shows a grin whenever he picks up a new one. In general, the marine grits his teeth while shooting Hell's denizens, and when not actively shooting, is constantly on the look for more ammo and health. "Nobody kills my bunny rabbit and lives!"Īs it turned out, this quickly became the most exciting post in the solar system, as the scientists accidentally opened a portal to Hell while experimenting with the alien technology, releasing hundreds of murderous demons throughout the facilities. He couldn't exactly be court-martialed for this, as the order in question was totally illegal, so he was "promoted" to a position in the least interesting post in the entire military: guarding the scientists and eggheads studying the ancient ruins on Mars. Next to nothing is known about him specifically, apart from the incident that got his ass to Mars: not only had he refused to follow a direct order to fire on innocent civilians, but he also put the officer who gave that order in a full-body cast. In a reference to the Marine's confrontation with the Cyberdemon, when Blazkowicz defeats the "Harbinger of Doom", the creature states that he will return in the future to confront his descendants. In Wolfenstein RPG, it is hinted that the Marine is a descendant of William "B.J." Blazkowicz. In Doom (2016), the Doomslayer is implied to be the same Marine from Doom, Doom II, and Doom 64, after sealing himself inside Hell for an unspecified amount of time at the end of Doom 64. However, his is never directly stated or implied within any of the Doom games.ĭoomguy appears in many of the sequels although it is unclear if there are of the same person. Blazkowicz, and is another continuation of that line ( Commander Keen is acknowledged as B.J.'s grandson). It is also suggested that Doomguy is a descendant of B.J. Creator John Romero has stated that "there was never a name for the DOOM marine because it's supposed to be YOU."
