History Comicbook / Doom

* DoesntLikeGuns: Doomguy, of all people, claimed that he didn't need a gun and that "guns are for wusses". As the GunPorn entry notes, he drops this attitude ''very'' quickly when a Cyberdemon [[NoSell No Sells]] his punches after his Berserk pack expired and he realizes that they're actually something of a necessity, and even begins to fetishize some of the weapons he recovers. [[ZigzaggingTrope Then again]], he promptly discarded the Shotgun he professed his heartfelt respect for ([[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness and retracted that respect]]) when he finds the Chaingun.

** ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', the 2020 sequel to the 2016 game, doubles down and implies that [[spoiler: Doomguy lived the events of the comic before he was found by the Sentinels – the first thing out of his mouth is a partial quote from the comic.]]

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Let's see. He's got a "positive goal" [[note]]killing demons [[/note]], he performs over-the-top grisly deeds [[note]] killing demons [[/note]], he loves what he's doing [[note]] killing demons[[/note]], and it's all PlayedForLaughs [[note]]killing de- I mean, "yes, most probably" [[/note]]. The Doom Marine in this story most likely qualifies.

* ContentWarning: A banner warning about scenes of graphic violence is stretched over the cover.. which proudly displays the Doomguy blowing out a Zombie's brains amidst a field of corpses. It's the thought that counts!

* AxCrazy: Doom Guy when he's under the influence of a Berserker Pack. And when he's not, to a marginally lesser extent.

* TalkativeLoon: He's as crazy as they get, and won't stop yelling about it.

* UnsoundEffect: *[[SoundOfNoDamage Bonk]]*

* UpToEleven: "I'm the man! I'm a bad man! How bad? Real bad! I`m a 12.0 on the 10.0 scale of badness!"

** ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', the 2020 sequel to the 2016 game, doubles down and implies that [[spoiler: Doomguy lived the events of the comic before he was found by the Sentinels – when he speaks in flashbacks, it’s only to quote the comic.]]

** In ''VideoGame/DoomTheRoguelike'', most trait descriptions have a page quote from the comic.

-->"[[GiantMook Cyberdemon]]? [[TemptingFate Big deal. He's slim pickings]]."

* {{BFG}}: "Mine eyes can but weep as they bear witness to the majesty... The BFG 9000!"

* ChainsawGood: From the page quote: "Aaaah! Chainsaw! The great communicator!"

* CloudCuckoolander: The Doom Guy at his most lucid, spewing CrazyAwesome threats and pseudo-philosophical ramblings about radioactive waste and its effects on the environment. Give him a berserker pack and he abandons all pretense of sanity and...

* CompanionCube: "At this particular moment in time, I don't think I have a healthier or more deeply-felt respect for any other object in the universe than this here Shotgun." ...Then again, he's probably gone completely insane, so CargoShip, perhaps?
** [[MoreDakka "Hey, Chaingun!]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness The hell with respect!"]]
*** The aforementioned CargoShip is actually lampshaded and ridiculed at about 3:15 and 6:20 in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVTiIxFOKtM this]] entry to a Website/{{Youtube}}-based dramatic reading contest for the comic (for men ''and'' women).

* {{Green|Aesop}} [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle Randomly Thrown-In Speech]]: Although he [[DumbassHasAPoint does raise a good point]]. Why the hell is there a giant vat of radioactive sludge lying out in the open?
* {{Gorn}}: Lots of it.

UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks: In many ways, this is really a parody of the kind of overly violent, overly angsty comics that were in vogue during the 1990s.

* LargeHam: The main character.

* BrokeTheRatingsScale: The Doom Guy is a self-described "12.0 on the 10.0 scale of badness."

* NoEnding: Alongside [[AndTheAdventureContinues And the adventure Continues]]. Doomguy shoots the Cyberdemon dead and them continues his journey, looking for more ''Stupid demons'' to kill. Not really surprising given that the comic was already a case of [[NoPlotNoProblem lacking a real plot]] and was mostly a excuse for Doomguy to find big guns to shoot bigger demons with them.

** ‘’VideoGame/DoomEternal’’, the 2020 sequel to the 2016 game, doubles down and implies that [[spoiler: Doomguy lived the events of the comic before he was found by the Sentinels – when he speaks in flashbacks, it’s only to quote the comic.]]

* OrcusOnHisThrone: The Cyberdemon who Doomguy attempts to RIP AND TEAR. Rather than blasting the puny human who just ineffectually punched it in the gut, it [[[{{IShallTauntYou}} prefers to laugh at him.]] It then spends the rest of the comic waiting in one spot for the Doomguy to finally get his hands on the BFG 9000.
