John Romero has pointed out the main reason for the lack of a name for the game character by stating the following: The less you know about him, the more likely you as the player will feel free to invent your own personality for him.
The original story and in-game cut scenes by id Software are composed in the second person, suggesting that there is no definable "Doom guy" and that the character simply stands for whoever is incidentally playing the game. Understandably, many arguments have been made over the proper name for the player character, or as to whether a name would be appropriate at all. It is implied in Wolfenstein RPG that the original Doomguy is a descendant of William "B.J." Blazkowicz destined to confront and finally defeat the Harbinger of Doom (later known as the cyberdemon), after Blazkowicz had successfully destroyed its left arm and right leg after it had been summoned at Castle Wolfenstein during World War II.
In the introductory story for TNT: Evilution, the Final Doom manual claims the marine is part of the United States Space Marine Corps, a play on the non-fictional United States Marine Corps. He owned a pet rabbit named Daisy, although the rabbit was left on Earth for reasons not explained. The only thing known about the Doom marine's life prior to the events of the Doom games is that he was stationed on the Mars base in the first place because he had assaulted a superior officer who ordered him to fire upon innocent civilians.
Overall thought of the MU: Its a pretty lit MU while not the best for either it is still a pretty fun episode overall with a fun animation potential helped with the character interactions, and some pretty good connections. Thoughts on other MU's: Doomguy vs Master Chief and Duke Nukem vs Serious Sam is better but I still think this MU is the second best Mu for both and Rick Taylor vs Doomguy is OK I guess and *Doomguy vs Spawn bad comment*. My thoughts on the MU: While it is not my preferred MU for either (I prefer Doomguy vs Master Chief 2 and Duke Nukem vs Serious Sam) I still fucking love this MU the connections are actually pretty cool, and the animation potential can be pretty fucking cool with the arsenal that both combatants have and there hand to hand combat skill, And the clashing personalities can make for some pretty entertaining interactions between the two (Doomguy could be annoyed with Duke Nukem's attitude during the fight and Duke Nukem can repeatedly insult the Doom Slayer).īets: Doomguy, while Duke Nukem has a better and more diverse arsenal than Doomguy but Doomguy takes a majority of the stats for Doomguy is pretty easily a lot stronger, faster, and more durable and he has been on the battlefield a lot longer than Duke Nukem. Over all thoughts on the MU: I think the MU is pretty fun little gun fight its nothing rely serious in my opinion but it still is a fun MU for both and its not like Hank has anyone else to fight.Ĭonnections: Two buff and aggressive protagonist from revolutionary FPS games who protect the world from otherworldly beings (Demons for Doomguy and Aliens for Duke Nukem) after they attack something they love (Daisy for Doomguy and Babes for Duke Nukem) and they do so with a shitload of weapons both normal and futuristic and using brutal tactics kill the otherworldly creatures. Thoughts on alternative MU's: Doomguy vs Hank is honestly kind of dumb and I never was a huge fan of Killer Bean vs Silent Gunner.Īnimation style: Either hand drawn or 3D (Hank does have a 3D model) The summary of the MU: I think this MU is pretty decent and I'm gonna be honest my favorite MU for both (Mainly via my bias towards Madness Combat) and I think the animation potential could be pretty entertaining with the animation being a nice simplistic gun fight faithful to both the characters and the connections are pretty decent and it is both a Madness Combat rep and a Killer Bean rep which is double the poggers.īets: Hank, He hardly has to try here now I will give Killer Bean the benefit of the doubt he has more experience than Hank and there kind of even in skill and there both even in speed but Hank just takes everything else pretty easily, The man has tanked bullets to the brain and getting stabbed in the chest, He can rip peoples heads off with ease, and his mutant form just stomps the shit out of Killer Bean. )Ĭonnections: Two anti heroic simplistic and brutal tacticians who fight figures in their universe who fight to make the world normal (Savior and the police). Hank J Wimbilton vs Killer Bean (Madness Combat vs.
