History Characters / Doom

* SureWhyNot: Out of all the nicknames and made up names, Doomguy seems to be the one which the creators have at least accepted as a Half-CanonName, as it got numerous nods and actually ''appeared'' as the Marine's name in [=THPS3=].

* GoddamnBats: They can be annoying due to their tendency to appear out of nowhere and surprising quietness compared to other enemies.

* DemonicSpiders: They're pests, if anything, but do surprising damage for their low durability.

* BossInMookClothing

-->When the sequel, ''Doom II: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hell on Earth]]'', rolls around, the marine had just finished kicking Hell a new one when a distress signal alerts him that the armies that invaded the Mars moon bases have now breached their way to Earth. The humans who are able to escape the genocide decide their only recourse is to escape the planet but their exit route is barricaded by the invaders and obstructed by a force field they set up. The marine is called to break the line of defense and deactivate the force field on behalf of the other humans so they may escape, which he does and remains as the last human on Earth. However, further communication from the escaped humans reveals that the epicenter of the invasion is still on Earth, allowing the marine to finally push back against the invaders. After fighting their forces he decides to cross back into Hell yet again, this time with the intent of making sure they can never invade anywhere ever again. After this trek through Hell, he manages to essentially ''destroy'' it, literally leaving no place for the damned to go once they die.

He makes it out in one piece but in the second game, he voluntarily returns to Hell and completely wrecks the joint, to the point that he is left to wonder what would become of the evil men in the world when they die.

* OneManArmy: It's you and every demon that the depths of Hell can throw at you, get to it.

* GoddamnedBats: In most cases, Ultra Violence mode consists of huge numbers of these guys, who are weak but can pulverize you if you encounter them in groups, especially in the open.

* DemonicSpiders: They have plenty of health and can do incredible damage if you don't take cover when they start firing.

* [[IconicCharacters Iconic Boss]]

* TurnsRed: The Berserk Hunter, rather periodically.

-->The new leader of Hell, fought at the end of ''Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil''. A giant pterodactyl-like demon that spews fire and summons meteor showers.

* SlasherSmile: Constant one at that

-->Hell's elite. They are hoofed beings that walk upright and have a ram-like head. The Hell Knights are brown while the Barons are pink and tougher. They throw bolts and can slash with their hands. The Barons first appear at the end of the first episode of ''Doom'' as the final boss.
* DualBoss: At the end of Episode 1.

* BareYourMidriff: At least according to the box art of the first Doom. Male example.

-->Also known as "[[FanNickname Doomguy]]". In the original ''Doom'', he's a nameless marine sent to do grunt work on Mars after an incident over not wanting to kill innocent people on Earth causes him to lash out against his commanding officer. During his [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere dull-as-dirt assignment]], it seems the scientists of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) are conducting experiments with teleporters when everything falls to pieces. One of Mars' moons and a UAC outpost, Deimos, completely vanishes into the ether while another, Phobos, is immediately overrun by the legions of Hell. Everyone is either slaughtered or converted into minions of the invaders. The marine dispatches to Phobos, where he proceeds to clean up the situation as brutally as possible. During his one-man war against the forces of Hell, he discovers what became of Deimos (ended up floating above Hell itself) and then treks down to the surface of Hell to finish the job.
