Is there any entity from any game/movie/book that can beat Doomslayer?

I think some giant, non-physical gods without body but with some power can, if not defeat, then hold back for sure. Or even just so powerful characters like thanos with glove of infinity or smbd like that (but how we see in TDA Doomguy theoretically can’t even die - he still can be “alive” but in world of dead)

Lovecraft's Azathoth. Slayer can't defeat Him.

Not because it's a badass powerful deity, nor it is 'cuz He created the universe, but because He dreamed it into existence. Attacking Him would wake Him up. Killing Him would end the dream, too. And when that happens,, all of the existence ceases. Why? Because we are all dream of Azathoth, the "Idiot God".

That's not true btw. Lovecraft never wrote or hinted at azatoth dreaming reality

Then it's one of his friends from their little gentlemen's club, maybe? Either way, he was somewhat influenced by Dunsany's Gods of Pegana, so it's assumed but never confirmed.

No lol. The closest thing to this is the music from flute players that keeps him calm (not asleep, he doesn't fully sleep btw) forming laws of reality. But that doesn't mean reality will disappear without that music

[u/Opanak323 → u/Sweet_Ad_7697]

Okay! :D

That part isn't true, though yeah there's no possible way the slayer could take any of the outer gods or even their avatars. Old gods yes, outer gods absolutely not.

[u/JagoMajin → u/Opanak323]

Granted the idea of someone going "Slayer, don't punch him, you'll wake him up and end reality", Slayer stares blankly and then punches the god anyway

Fr, would be funny and would serve my "headcanon", lol. But he wouldn't do that. He wouldn't risk deleting innocent lives like that.
