Not because it was ever in doubt, merely id Software'sDoom Eternalonce over again proved that Doomguy is gaming'southward virtually kickass protagonist. Also known as The Marine,Doom's legendary hero has been putting demons back in their identify since 1993, and Doom Slayer's missions have only gotten gorier and more awesome over the last two and a one-half decades.

While he does occasionally show his face and even has had a few names thrown his fashion, Doomguy primarily serves as a surrogate for players. In some ways, everyone who has ever playedDoomis Doomguy, which makes the character a natural fit for cosplay.

10 On Guard

Cosplay byDavidRaven.

Fifty-fifty though he is not exactly helpless without a weapon, Doomguy tends to become his best self when armed with some type of gun. And the bigger the weapon, the better.

Plainly, the Praetor Suit is synonymous with Doom Slayer, but the character does experience somewhat naked without a BFG-9000 or a Super Shotgun. David Raven's Doomguy is ready for battle, and it is going to be a bang-up day for slaying demons.

nine Upwardly Close & Personal

Due to being an FPS franchise, Doomguy is by and large heard but not directly seen. If information technology were not for cutscenes and box art, the Praetor Accommodate would be by and large a mystery. As the games do not typically need to render the suit during gameplay, the armor has generally only been seen in detailed art pieces or cutscenes that can prove Doomguy in the most flattering low-cal.

Equally such, cosplayers looking to create the iconic adapt have a lot of loftier-quality fabric to turn to for inspiration. Maxgb_cosplay'south Doomguy is so close to the real deal, information technology is almost frightening.

8 Pre-Slaying

Cosplay byGalactic-Reptile.

Who exactly is Doomguy? While the original '90s version was rumored to exist a descendant ofWolfenstein's B.J Blaskowicz and Commander Bully'southward son, the latter iteration seen in 2016'sDoomandDoom Eternalis more often than not a blank slate. He exists solely to human action as a boogeyman for demons.

Doom Eternaldoes have more of a story, but Doomguy is still primarily kept the aforementioned. Galactic-Reptile is one of the franchise's almost prominent cosplayers, and this photograph captures a rare quiet moment in Doom Slayer'due south existence.

vii Slaying

Fittingly enough, Galactic-Reptile'south Doomguy looks far more at ease whilst in the middle of battle than in-betwixt bouts of demon-slaying. Certain characters benefit from deep dives into their psyches, but they typically practice not go past names similar Doom Slayer. He slays, therefore he is.

Presenting a more slim version of the iconic gaming character, Galactic-Reptile'south Doomguy is still a no-nonsense hero who lets his deportment speak for themselves.

6 Those Poor Demons

Dominique de Leon's store is packed with stunning cosplay costumes that primarily revolve around foam armor. Along with this impressive Doomguy cosplay, the cosplayer has put together some fantasticMass Effect,Goblin Slayer, andDead Spacepieces.

Strange as it may exist to imagine Doomguy going to battle alongside a partner, this entry does serve as a pretty awesome couple'due south cosplay set. The simply ones that suffer from there being 2 Doom Slayers are the demons.

5 Battle Scars

Cosplay by Gavwav.

Doomis gloriously violent. As a franchise that centers effectually ripping dozens of demons autonomously per minute to avert having the same washed in reverse, it would not beDoomwithout a scrap of commotion, blood, and a mount of loose heads.

As painful as Gavwav's stomach scar looks, a wound like that would suggest it was a pretty wearisome twenty-four hour period in the office for Doom Slayer.

four Some Heads Are Gonna Whorl

Hell just follows Doomguy wherever he may go. Thankfully, even when in the middle of a well-earned vacation, Doom Slayer is e'er ready to annihilate a few demons. After all, what could possibly be more relaxing than that?

Leobareto38'due south armor is definitely impressive, but it is the monster's head that steals the show. Going by the lack of eyes and prominent teeth, that is probably a Hell Knight.

3 Hell

Cosplay by DoomGuy141.

Tired of constantly having to make the trip from World to Hell, Doomguy eventually decided to permanently take up residence in the latter. While he does travel a chip effectually inDoomand peculiarlyDoom Eternal, Hell will always be Doomguy'due south home.

DoomGuy141's deviant art contour is filled with absurdDoomcosplay photos, but in that location is simply something special nigh this particular creation.Doomis just as much near Hell as it is most Doom Slayer; in fact, the erstwhile is more important than the latter.

2 Armed & Ready

The declaration of a newDoomis always a cause for celebration, merely interest in the FPS franchise dwindled somewhat after the divisiveDoom 3. 2016'southwardDoom saw the serial return to form in a large way, sending the hype for 2020's sequel into overdrive.

Tomvdcr's cosplay is just a visual representation of the hype surroundingDoom Eternal. And like the games themselves, everythingDoom-related is improved with a few boosted guns.

1 Someone Give This Doomguy An Award!

Cosplay by Fleck Shop Props.

This armor conform is then impressive, information technology might even prompt Doomguy himself to grunt in approval. Bit Shop Props recreated the Praetor Adjust down to the smallest particular. It is and so expert, the armor could be used in a live-actionDoommotion-picture show without much issue.

The costume is primarily fabricated using cream, and the paintwork is especially impressive. Doomguy has never looked better.
