What is Doomguy's race?

[Doge Sword]

In the DOOM 1 cover art Doomguy appears to have red skin:

 

In other games he looks Caucasian:

 

If his skin actually is red, is he human?

[Tompig]

I think that is just light reflection from the red environment mate.

See my profile pic, and the box art of doom 2, this isn't the first time we see the Doom guy. (Also mug shot)

 

Not to mention YOU are the doom guy... So I guess whatever race you are?

[whirledtsar]

Red skin? Clearly he's a secret Demon, rebelling against his masters. Or maybe American Indian.

[wheresthebeef]

His race is the par time

[kb1]

*You* are DoomGuy.

Probably white seeing as you can see him on the HUD and he looks white. Not sure why this matters much anyway seeing as you can customize him now anyway in the options menu.

lol these threads.

He's a 100%, bona-fide, pureblood ass kicker.

Obligatory "No john you are the demons" post

[StevenC21]

FFS He's caucasian.

 

NO Its not Racist.

 

NO its not Sexist.

 

He's a redblooded ass kicking demon slayer who happens to be a white man.

[Doomkid]

I can’t believe no one has posted footage of Doom Kart yet. For shame.

[leodoom85]

He's an alien...........clearly. Can explain the resistance to almost anything....

[geo]

He's a Transsexual Nazi Eskimo.

His speed seems to indicate that his race is the 50-yard dash, but he never seems to get tired, so maybe his race is the marathon. His race is definitely not the hurdles, since in vanilla, he can't jump.

[how to delete account]

Wasn't he asian in the novels?

[ScreechingBoner]

Terran

[StevenC21]

@Marcaek I'm just tired of this conversation over and over and over.

 

Maybe next time if you don't have anything productive to say, don't fucking say it!

[Maser]

He's Donald Trump with better hair. ;)

[Firedust]

Pretty damn sure the people at Netflix would say he's black.

[BLλZING_DUST]

He's clearly 100% pureblood Serbian, can't you tell?

Since he runs ultramarathons at a dead sprint, he long ago decided to just run through the hurdles.

[DarkShroom]

he's a member of the "human race" thusly he is white, which is a neutral decision that represents all other races

i dunno why people seem to think the Doom3 guy is the same as the original one... Doom 3 guy is clearly Italian

i would have thought, from like all the corpses littered on the floor, that there'd be many Doomguys...Doomguys are like arnold rimmer

Yeah.

 

As for the cover, that's probably due to the environment.

It's the lighting. He seems to have tan skin but it's hard to tell since he occupies a very small portion of the cover itself. The marine up in front (whoever he is) is pretty boned though.
