David Houghton of GamesRadar claimed that Doomguy is the smartest player character around, even with fistbumps, violence and zero dialogue.

I still have to decide if I print the details for the back or if I cut it with some thinner EVA Foam. Likewise, the Praetorian Guard (Latin: Praetoriani) was a force of bodyguards used by Roman emperors. It has been also noted for its visibly irreverent tone conveyed by its hand gestures, fist bumping a small Doomguy figurine, [15] and a late-game moment where the Doom Slayer decides to make a backup of a friendly AI rather than erasing it. In multiplayer mode there is a palette swap applied; with green and grey for players one and two in co-op, while in deathmatch there is a choice of green, red, brown, and indigo/blue. The Doomguy appears without a helmet, in the ending to The Ultimate Doom episode IV "Thy Flesh Consumed", then again in the cover art of Doom II where he is fighting a Cyberdemon with a shotgun.He has been featured in several other game franchises, including his likeness as a customizable skin for the Mii Gunner character in Super Smash Bros. A Deluxe Edition copy of DOOM Eternal in an exclusive Steelbook case custom designed by graphic designer and illustrator Gabz in collaboration with Mondo. Later, when asked, Tom Hall and John Romero confirmed that the Marine was, at least originally, a descendant of Wolfenstein protagonist B.

The game heavily suggested but never stated with any certainty that this origin could be explained in one of the other games of the Doom series.

The default gun changes with this armor equipped, using the EMG pistol model while still using the attacks selected for the Mii Gunner available in the game engine. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson were mooted for the role of Doomguy in the 2005 film Doom, with Karl Urban ultimately cast in the role of John " Reaper" Grimm in September 2004. In Latin, a praetor was an elected magistrate of the Roman Republic who was in charge of the administration of civil justice, a rank just below that of consul, or alternately, the commander of an army.
