Doom's protagonist

Doom's protagonist (often called Doomguy by fans, and now officially in Doom Eternal) is the main character of Doom and its sequels or offshoots, who is also known as the Doom marine or the Marine, Doom Slayer in Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, as well as our hero at the end of Doom II and Doom 64. In all the games, this protagonist is a futuristic marine that is never specifically referred to by name.

A different way of referring to the protagonist is as the player, although this is a technical designation similar to that of player character in role-playing games.
