It is notable however that the character himself does not appear as such in-game instead, both protagonists wear helmets similar to those possessed by members of the Bravo Team. Promotional materials and cover art for the game accordingly feature a second character alongside the original protagonist, a brown-haired marine who features the same wavy hairline as the original protagonist of Doom, particularly as he is depicted in the episode end art of Thy Flesh Consumed and on the cover art for Doom II, alongside similar facial features. The Xbox version of Doom 3 includes a cooperative multiplayer mode which was available over Xbox Live. The Doom 3 marine, under the name of "Doom marine", appears in Quake Champions as an alternate skin for the Doom Slayer. In the 2005 Doom movie, which is loosely based on Doom 3, the marine is named John Grimm and is portrayed by Karl Urban. The Doom 3 novel Worlds on Fire gives his name as John Kane, along with a backstory of military indiscretion similar to that of the original classic Doom marine. He only shows a brief burst of anxiety (stepping back slightly and appearing to mouth a curse) when he first sees the towering cyberdemon. He rarely shows fear or panic, despite the increasingly horrific events and creatures he comes to witness, including several bizarre and disturbing psychic visions. The Marine is depicted as being tough and fearless in the game's cut scenes. Although the Marine never truly speaks, he utters grunts of pain when injured or a scream when killed. Even on these "chatting" occasions, however, the player character is addressed simply as "Marine" and remains silent, either because most of the discussion is about his orders, or due to the silent protagonist narrative shared across the series. Most of them do not say much (other than that they are busy and the UAC base is a frightening place), but a few, such as Sergeant Kelly, give the player some briefing regarding his mission, especially after the forces of Hell invade the UAC base. Unlike in the original series, the player can "talk" to various people. He has black hair and appears to be in his mid twenties to early thirties. His physique is also less powerful looking than the classic marine, although he is still relatively muscular. His facial features are not concealed since he does not wear a helmet (some sources suggest that it was originally intended for him to wear a helmet). ![]() The Marine's appearance was inspired by and modeled after long-time id Software employee Kevin Cloud. It is specified that the player has been sent to Mars as a replacement for another marine lost in the ongoing Delta Labs operations. ![]() ![]() Doom 3 itself introduces a character known only as the "marine" (later called the "Doom marine" in Quake Champions, in contrast to the Doomguy of the classic Doom series).
