Duke Nukem doesn't really fit in the modern world, except as the poster boy of toxic masculinity. As much as I like the OG games for the gameplay, I don't see the character working now unless they change him dramatically.
Same could be said for doom guy really. They just need to cut back on toxic masculinity and add more brutal killing.
The guy whose only known bits of lore are that he punched out his commanding officer after being ordered to murder innocent civilians, so he was sent to the shitty Mars posting as punishment where he then had to fight all of literal Hell to escape back to Earth, where demons had taken over and, worst of all, killed his pet rabbit, so he went on a new mission to destroy every last demon in Hell out of revenge? Who never utters a single word or really shows any kind of personality?
That Doom Guy?
Maybe referring to Flynn Taggart in the novels? Haven't read any doom in a while, I must confess…
