| - Doom's protagonist (Space Marine, Doom Marine/DOOM Marine or Doom Slayer, but often called Doomguy by fans, or just "Marine") represents the player's characters of Doom and its sequels or offshoots, who are also referred to as the Doom marine or the Marine (the latter especially in Doom 3), as well as our hero at the end of Doom II. In all the games (sans Doom II RPG), these protagonists are futuristic marines that are never specifically referred to by name. In Chinese the character is known literally as "Doom Warrior" or "Doom Fighter" (Simplified Chinese: 毁灭战士; Pinyin: huǐ mìe zhàn shì), which is also the release name of Doom itself in China.

| - Doom's protagonist (Space Marine, Doom Marine/DOOM Marine or Doom Slayer, but often called Doomguy by fans, or just "Marine") represents the player's characters of Doom and its sequels or offshoots, who are also referred to as the Doom marine or the Marine (the latter especially in Doom 3), as well as our hero at the end of Doom II. In all the games (sans Doom II RPG), these protagonists are futuristic marines that are never specifically referred to by name. In Chinese the character is known literally as "Doom Warrior" or "Doom Fighter" (Simplified Chinese: 毁灭战士; Pinyin: huǐ mìe zhàn shì), which is also the release name of Doom itself in China. A different way of referring to each protagonist is as the "player," although this is a technical denomination similar to that of player character in role-playing games. And so, the player knows the player isn't the only marine and will see a bunch of other marines that were killed on their missions. The Doom Marine originally had no actual name because, according to John Romero, The protagonist is supposed to be the person playing Doom. The only game to give the traditional armored male marine a name is Doom RPG series and in Doom II RPG he ("Stan Blazkowicz) is one of three character choices all who are said to be marines (except for the civilian scientist playable character Riley O'Connor). It should be noted that the Marine in Doom RPG (whose name may be B.J. Blazkowicz (Doom RPG)), and Stan Blazkowicz are two separate individuals (apparent clones or relatives) this is made more clear by the Doom II RPG comic in which it refers to the Mars Incident, and that there were no known survivors (at least no known that UAC was willing to divulge), and Stan Blazkowicz had not previously encountered the demons. The Doom RPG website confirms however, that the Marine in the game is the same one from Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3. There are allusions/predictions of future events on the Phobos moon of Mars, and Earth as well in the Doom RPG series which may suggest a rough link to the original Doom/Doom II games as future events. There are other Marine characters introduced in some of the Expansion Packs as well. Including the Marine Engineer (of Resurrection of Evil) and the two Bravo Marines (Doom Resurrection and Lost Mission). In the Quake Series the classic marine is given the code-name Doom (character), and battles along side and against female marine Crash, and fellow marine Phobos (character) (the latter possibly inspired by one of the four co-op doom sprite skins colors). The Doom and Crash characters were later comissioned by by ID Software as Doom 20th Anniversary toy figures by Symbiote Studios as a set reflecting both Doom Space Marine character, and Phobos (including each's link to the Doom and Quake series) each with the BFG 9000/BFG 10k and helmet. In the literature, the Marine of Doom novels (Flynn Taggart) and Doom 3 Novels (John Kane) are inspired by the Doom Marine character from their respective games, but are given different past histories, and events do not follow exactly like the games, including much different outcomes.
