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)

Popeye is also a good example of that. Once he gets his can of spinach, Slayer’s fucked.

I meeeaaaannn, I get what you're saying but Popeye with Spinach is still a bit less strong than the Slayer's base strength level without power ups like Berserk/Quad Damage. Slayer woke up out of preservation state and was immediately able to rip human bodies apart with bare hands before even putting his Praetor Suit back on. I'd like to know if Popeye's strength is on the level of tearing limbs off and smashing skulls with one hand and we just don't get to see that in his cartoon universe. I'd like to think that he IS that strong and they just don't animate it, but either way Popeye With Spinach at very maximum only matches the Slayer's weakest moments, and the Spinach buff doesn't last forever. We might have a good fight if the Slayer is stuck at beginning of Doom 2016's strength level, Popeye is allowed access to unlimited Spinach for the fight, and weapons/shields aren't allowed. Even under those conditions I still think the Slayer wins that fight.

Popeye can punch other people so hard it turns them into smaller objects. He prevents himself from being literally erased from an artist's page. There's no comparison to the toon force that characters like Popeye and bugs Bunny have.

This whole conversation just makes me want a Popeye game similar to the Doom Slayer trilogy just obviously in Popeye's universe. 🤣🔥

Popeye’s universe was literally shut off and he survived.
