I would say Doom Guy personally. But I feel most people would say master chief because his games were more well known to the casual public

Master Chief is more well-known but I don't know if he's more iconic.

If that makes sense.

Chief for console plebs, but Doomguy is really fucking close.

Mario beat the hell out of both of those, though.

I like Doomguy a hell of a lot more, but I'd say Master Chief is more of a deal.

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal were both on console as well, and both far more recently since Master Chief was relevant...

Doom is overall the more iconic series due to its legacy but I don't think Doom Guy is all that iconic of a character. Master Chief is way more consistent.

I don't think either game outsold Halo 5 though.

And if you wanna say MC is more recognizable then you have to contend with the fact that Fortnite guy is more recognizable than both nowadays, and I don't think you're prepared to do that now are you?

Eh fortnite is too recent imo. Too early to tell if it will have any staying power or if its just a short lived fad.

Fortnite doesn't have a guy as far as I know.

Some games are more famous but some game characters are more famous.

Doom Guy is pretty much the archetypal space marine. I'm not sure Master Chief would have the design he does if not for Doom Guy.

Master Chief is by far the more iconic character.

If you just showed a bunch of random people a picture of Doom Guy, the majority of them wouldn't be able to tell you what he's from. Even a good number of people who have actually played the Doom series. You almost never actually see the character you play as in Doom games.

Whereas Master Chief is fully realized and shown in cutscenes and advertising/media constantly.

i voted for doomguy, but maybe Master Chief is more popular right now.
i once shared a meme about Doom Crossing, and my friends asked "why the Halo guy is a furry now?"

Pfft, that's just cause the Spartans are inspired by the space marine Doom Guy.

If they called him halo guy id dismiss them. Especial that amd confusing him and doomslayer.

That's a different varible to throw in the current doom has doom slayer. Not the same as doom guy.
