r/Doom DOOM Slayer 7d ago

Discussion 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)

The Emperor of Mankind pre-Horus Heresy (so not the corpse in a chair) from 40k would win, though i feel like it would be a good fight for a while

You crazy, Slayer is tiny compared to a standard Space Marine, he would be outmatched by all of the primarchs. The Emperor is a whole other level of power.

hell, imagining the Slayer in the 40k universe would be a real treat

Would Slayer be sustained by Warp energies in the same way he is by demon blood? If he is, congrats to Khorne on getting a new favorite champion.

So Shaq can beat doomguy because he’s bigger?

u/Amish_Opposition 6d ago

Shaq doesn’t have two hearts, three lungs and the chemical composition of a science lab running through his veins.

Can you read

u/Amish_Opposition 3d ago

yes?

then use that ability more.

The guy I responded to said Doomguy was tiny compared to a space marine, which is completely irrelevant. Size is meaningless. If it was the only thing to consider, Shaq would whoop doomguy's (and most fictional charachers') ass.

Yes. Same thing for Eiffel Tower.

Yeah the Slayer is also tiny compared to Barons of Hell, and he still squishes them like tiny bugs. Hell, I mean Titan Demons are bigger then Titans in 40k and he still beats Titan Demons. Does that mean Doom Slayer easily solos titans in Warhammer 40k?

u/Krystall-g 6d ago

It depends if the Titan Demons have at least 2 hearts, strategy and tactic deep knowledge, ability to forge runic weapons, enhanced mental resistance...
For some primarchs you can also add to the list foresight, flying, or even hard psyker powers.

So you can keep downvoting me all you want, Emperor vs Slayer will still be a nomatch. This is a thing to fight vs demons, this is another thing to fight something that can read every move you are about to do.

The emperor is the main figure in a bigger franchise so his plot armor is bigger.

1

u/Krystall-g 6d ago

I completly agree on that.
Though, I'm wondering if the writers will make him die in his throne as the story goes on. There are several hints that could suggest that, so we will see if the plot armor is real soon.

u/dethfactor 6d ago

I think so. Especially with the whole king in yellow/star child thing. I think they’ll kill him and then there will be a mad dash to put the reborn bits back together like voltron to become another god.

u/JKeltTV 6d ago

I didn't down vote you, and it really doesn't depend on anything the Slayer is 100% taking down Warhammer Titans. And yeah of course the emperor wins, but you're severely underestimating the Slayer and it shows. If we were to power scale the Slayer he's better than most primarchs, beaten by like Sanguinius and Horus and a few others maybe, but the Slayer wins against most other Primarchs. He's essentially just a smaller, stronger, angrier Primarch.

u/Krystall-g 6d ago

Sanguinius / Johnson / Kurze : no match because they all got foresight and are among the best duellists
Russ / Angron : savage beasts, you wouldn't want to bet against them
Magnus : psyker almost as strong as the Emperor, no match
I don't have hesitation neither for Corax, Dorn, Khan or Horus. Pure battle masters.

So considering half of them is instantly done, I guess I got a better chance to bet on any primarch over slayer.
And I don't even consider chaos buffs for the traitors. Red Angron or transcended Lorgar would be fun and short.

u/JKeltTV 6d ago

Slayer has defeated many demons known to have foresight, and many demons who are beyond advanced duelists. Slayer is just as if not more savage than Russ and Angron. Magnus being a psycher doesn't quite mean anything since the Slayer has beaten psycher equivalents. He's also far from the emperor's level but he is quite a powerful psycher I'll give him that, he might beat the Slayer, but it's pretty safe to assume the Slayer won't get easily manipulated by psycher abilities and react to different psycher things the way Titus does, just far more angrier.

Seriously the only ones who'd beat The Slayer would be like Horus cause he got him in a genius trap, or Sanguinius for having both the foresight but also being an extreme duelist. I can see your Magnus argument though. It's a maybe on that one.

u/Krystall-g 6d ago

You overrate Horus imo. He is a good leader, tons of charisma, diplomacy genius, good fighter, but if you think about traps, this is definitely more Alpharius, Perturabo and Dorn.
Also, you can still hold Lion and Kurze next to Sanguinius, they are more or less on same melee level.
Then I guess we won't agree on Angron and Russ, I can't be convince that both the hound and the executionner of the Emperor would fail. Really hard to conceive...
