How Did Doomguy Get His Powers? (DOOM Eternal Lore)

Doom is basically synonymous with it’s main protagonist at this point. It’s hard to think of one without thinking about the other. As the games have changed, so has he. Originally called the Doom Marine, and was supposedly just intended to be a representation of the player according to some of the original developers, the character became iconic as his own thing anyway and was eventually dubbed as Doomguy by the Doom community and it stuck. As easily as the Doom Marine turned into Doomguy, he has now become the Doom Slayer. While this is easily his coolest name yet, it has added to some of the odd bumps in continuity for the series. As Id Software continued to push out Doom games over the years with different styles and motifs, the true nature and origin of the Doomguy has become ambiguous to say the least.
One thing that has remained fairly consistent throughout the Doom universe though, is that the Doomguy is absurdly powerful. Whether we’re talking about his ability to take multiple hits from hell’s most vile creatures and survive, or his ability to just punch them dead, Doomguy certainly has something going for him that normal humans seem to not. Why is this? How did he become such a powerful force of death and destruction?

100 pushups, 100 squads, 100 sit-ups and a 10km run, every single day.

[@simplyluis6548]

But Doom Guy is so badass he doesn't lose his hair.

[@LCKRD-un1rx]

Pretty much.

[@kazama8212]

But he didn't do that otherwise he would've killed the demons with a single punch

[@franciscerborino5895]

Add an extra zero after all of those n u got him

Honestly I always use to get spooked playing the old DOOM games. I think it was the mix of monsters, atmosphere, and pixilated horror that just really creeped me out. But playing DOOM 2016 is much less creepy. I think it's because by that point his rage was so all consuming I could put myself in his place and just feel like the only joy he has left is butchering the forces of Hell. Plus the fact you play a guy who can literally kill demons with his bare hands is pretty fun.

[@Hellothere-vr9um]

I never liked the pixelated and creepy feeling of the old doom games either.

[@ryanforgo3500]

Trust me even now when i play old doom i still get creeped out, in fact i tries to do so and it stressed the fk out of me, it felt so bad for my health "i felt the streas in my stomach lol" it is not about the horror it is about how monsters appear out of no where in old doom always behind you or something and you don't want to die and you get frustrated as you never know where to look and always get ambushed. I did not know how abnoxious it is until i played it last week for old times sake and i was like "Ohhh that's why it got me scared as a kid, and now even though it is not scary it is still stressful"

[@dante1nero1]

"How did Doomguy get his powers?" It's the metal, really

[@hate9135]

Wdym

[@frozezone2947]

Not really

[@raptorprimal1077]

It's not said enough to realise that Doom guy was really powerful before he even had any powers. He took on armies of hell alone before he had any powers and won (doom 1 to 64). He was so filled with rage before even finding out about the death of his rabbit that when he actually died (in episode 1 ending of the original game) He was sent to deimos by hell, and then literal hell. And still won. It takes something to literally go to hell and win. Bro didn't even have a super suit. He just had muscles, guns and armour that exposed his abdomen and still came out top. Sheer damn will. And then him getting powers was basically just a buff for him

[@brutalschel]

I like keeping my Doom experience simple and brutal. Doom guy/marine/slayer is one badass mf whose sole goal in existence is to rip and tear demons apart. I see things, I shoot them.

[@sphere7158]

Doom Slayer is freaking *OP*

[@disgruntledpacifist9503]

Still going call him Doom Guy.

[@Johnnygrafx]

I prefer that name too

[@mamodokod]

Same

[@AcidGlow]

*But how did The DoomGuy end up on Argent D'Nur after Doom 64? Seems like alot of people don't know..So they skip this part* ✅🙄

[@thatterminatorguy4565]

Indeed.

[@Eryna_]

ok that is really annoying but pretty sure the consensus is after doom 64 he stays in heck, then doom eternal picks up with him getting to the sentinals.

[@edgelord8337]

Better question how did isabelle and doomguy become friends?

[@beastofdarknesss5822]

She looks like a rabbit lol

[@karlos3063]

Interesting stuff dude doom guy soz” slayer “ has had a hell of a life, awesome video 😉

[@jakefromstatefarm6233]

Only power Doomguy has is being a badass

[@WilliamEllison]

Sill doesn't add up. Good job on trying to explain.

[@blackdemonknight]

From the sound of him getting stronger with each victory it sounds like Doomslayer is Goku but he had Vegeta's anger and personality. In my opinion

[@petwisk2012]

There even time travel implications, since the Earth and Mars invasion in Eternal and 2016 aren't the Same as Doom 1 and 2 but the DoomGuy is the Same, also It says in 2016 that the slayer battle Hell for Milleniuns before Being captured and enprisoned in a sarcophagus before the Events of 2016 kick in (Doom 3's marines doesn't count)

[@spiax]

Doom 3 is it's one separate timeline thank jebus

[@GodOfWrath7]

All i want to know is where he keeps all his guns 🔫

[@petermiller4953]

Can we please have an actual human being instead of a robot telling us this tale?

[@Johnnygrafx]

fully human my man. I have some background in public radio so I think thats where I get my cadence from. Working on it though!

[@Gunblade44]

So how did he wind up in a coffin in hell at the beginning of the previous Doom game?

[@Johnnygrafx]

There IS an explanation for that but I forget what it is. Somewhere in Doom Eternal's lore thingies I think it's explained.

[@Eryna_]

oh yeah so basically doom 64 has him go through hell for eons, then get found by the sentinals, then he goes BACK to hell (I assume, as you can't have him get stuck in the coffin and then go have fun with the sentinals) to get stuck in a demon prison

[@dutchvanderlinde433]

How did doom guy get his powers METH

[@kingsleyjackson8287]

They should give him a real name

[@ParadiseLordRyu]

Kingsley Jackson they did. His real name is Flynn Taggart.

[@tyu2489]

Doom guy is Serious Sam's son...

[@Eryna_]

pretty sure like grandson or something but still good comment

[@gracefulcharity8412]

I gave it to him.

[@Eryna_]

Just watch Midnights vids, they explain everything

[@spiax]

Play the game it explains

[@Mr.Honest247]

Because he works out obviously. 🙄

[@t.ndrippy9654]

[@chipdale2571]

[@darthconquerus]

Isn’t there a theory that he’s Link or something?

[@mikhailbolodo1597]

[@asifalrahman2340]
