▲'''Doomguy''' (originally known as "our hero") is the main protagonist of
Since its release in 1993, DOOM has gone down in history as being one of the most notable and influential FPS titles of all time.
DOOM and its sequel have inspired many "DOOM clones," such as Rise of the Triad, Marathon, Star Wars: Dark Forces, Duke Nukem 3D, and Shadow Warrior.
DOOM is also responsible for populating modding thanks to ID's generosity in giving the community modding tools and the source code to the DOOM engine, now known as ID Tech 1.
The series follows an unnamed marine, most commonly known by the community as Doomguy. After assaulting his commanding officer for refusing to fire upon innocent civilians, Doomguy was dishonorably discharged and then later transferred to the human-made base on Phobos. Unbeknownst to him, the shady conglomerate known as the UAC had been conducting experiments on teleportation, which led to them opening a portal directly to hell. By the time Doomguy reached Photos, the forces of hell had overrun the entire moon. With nothing but a pistol in his hand and pure rage, he would fight back against the seemingly endless hoard of demons. He would go on to save Earth itself and face various powerful hellspawns, such as the Cyberdemon, the Spider Mastermind, the all-powerful Icon of Sin, and the worth of them all, the Mother Demon and her twin sister, the Resurrector.
As for his relevance on 4chan, DOOM has had a massive presence on /v/ and /vr/ since the very early days. With this popularity, many mods have come out of 4chan, from the /vr/ collaboration megawads to one of the most notorious mods ever released, Moon Man Doom.
==Tournament History==
[[File:The doomjobber.png|thumb|A question relating to Doomguy losing to Agent 47]]
Doomguy's first run in the tournament was very successful. He curb-stomped almost every opponent he faced. Even heavy hitters like [[Dante]] from Devil May Cry and [[Solid Snake]] from Metal Gear Solid were no match. But he would end up losing the finals against Armstrong.
He would return in 2021 and do relatively well that year, with his most notable matchup being against Kratos, as he destroyed [[Kratos]] in the polls by 80% more votes. But his run would end when he faced that year's finalist, [[Dr. Eggman]] from Sonic the Hedgehog, in round 4.
Even since then, he has failed to get past round 2, losing to fan-favorite [[Jack Garland]] from Final Fantasy in 2022 and, to the shocks of many anons, to [[Agent 47]] from Hitman in 2023.
===Doomguy's status===
Despite the popularity of DOOM, Doomguy has had a terrible track record in the tournaments. He has only reached the quarter-finals once and lost in round 2 twice in 2 years. This poor track record has baffled many anons. Some speculate that the mixed reception of Doom Eternal on /v/ has damaged Doomguy's reputation. Others claim that he's been extremely unlucky with his matchup. Even with his losing streak, Doomguy is still a fan-favorite amongst the anons. Only time will tell if he can break his losing streak.
