How Tall is Doomguy in Doom Eternal?
The iconic Doomguy, also referred to as the Doom Slayer, stands at a towering 6 feet 8 inches (203 cm) tall in the latest Doom Eternal game and lore. This makes him an intimidating presence, even among the demonic forces of Hell.
An Intimidating and Legendary Hero
As the original space marine hero from 1990‘s era Doom games, the Doom Slayer has built his legend through countless battles across dimensions. Empowered further with seraphim energies and blessings, he continues his eternal crusade against demonkind.
His imposing size matches his strength and intensity in combat. Official sources estimate his punching force at 400 to 500 pounds of pressure, enough to obliterate human bodies and often heavily armored demons too.
Several expert fan analyses estimate his weight including armor at 700 pounds (317 kg) or more. This bulk gives him the power and durability to rip through legions of hellspawn.
"He lets us embody the angry will of someone who is sick and tired of going through literal Hell."
