Backstory of Doomguy AKA Flynn Taggart.
In DOOM TDA, we came to know that the Slayer isn't just a Slayer, but also a human, one with empathy.
As a marine, a part of some sort of special forces unit, he was doing secret missions, as a one man army, as a human.
So even then, he was already fighting for the good of mankind.
We also found out the name of the Doomslayer is Flynn Taggart.

Request for Summary Court-Martial
Date: 02 FEB 2044
Reporting Oficer: Lt. Joshua Weems
Accused: Cpl. Flynn Taggart
Summary of Charges: Failure to Report
Discipline Suggested: Flogging (Public)
Incident Report: Fox Company was instructed to attend a mission briefing at 1300 hours in preparation for a time sensitive operation involving the destruction of an insurgent SAM site. Cpl. Taggart was not present at the appointed time. When Cpl. Taggart did arrive at the briefing, more than an hour late, I observed that his battle
dress was tattered and muddy.
When I summoned Cpl. Taggart to the podium to answer for his tardiness, he informed me that the mission I was briefing the men to undertake was "done," and then exited the operations room without leave.
While the men did laugh, I take these insubordinate displays extremely seriously. I would hate to inform my father that my military career is being impeded by a defiant grunt.

Judgement:
Lt. Weems, I am reluctantly approving your request for a summary court-martial but please understand that I do so with the expectation that you make a concerted effort to improve your working relationship with Cpl. Taggart moving forward. He's a good soldier with an outstanding service
record.
Colonel J. Mercer"
Bro showed up over an hour late, covered in mud, only to inform his superior that the mission they were about to discuss was already finished.
He completed an entire time-sensitive operation by himself before the briefing even began, refused to elaborate, and walked back out.
They tried to report him for soloing their mission even, being the cause of having absolutely no casualties, as he solod a team based mission.
"Request for Special Court-Martial
Date: 29 MAY 2045
Reporting Oficer: Lt. Joshua Weems
Accused: Cpl. Flynn Taggart
Summary of Charges: Desertion
Discipline Suggested: Dishonorable
Discharge & Chemical Indoctrination
Incident Report: At 0530 hours a sentry observed Cpl. Taggart approaching the main gate of Fort Elliott. His return to base was a surprise to me as I gave him no authorization to leave in the first place. When searched, Cpl. Taggart was found to be in possession of
insurgent contraband and several service weapons stolen from the armory. As a result of Cpl. Taggart's reckless actions, the mission attached to my scheduled press coverage could no longer proceed as planned. My father is furious and demands that this injustice be swiftly and decisively resolved.

Judgement:
Lt. Weems, I am denying your request for a special court-martial. As we're both aware,
the "insurgent contraband" turned over by Cpl. Taggart is an enemy encryption device
that he seized on his own initiative. Review of the device by your father's department
made clear that the mission in question predicated on faulty intelligence. I'll admit that Cpl. Taggart's afinity for improvisation and self-reliance is considerable even for a MARSOC operative, but what he did today averted a major military catastrophe and undoubtedly saved lives.
Colonel J. Mercer"
Flynn abandoned base, stole weapons and infiltrated enemy territory on his own initiative, only to return carrying the encryption device that exposed the entire operation as a disaster waiting to happen.
They tried to charge him with desertion for disobeying orders that would have gotten people killed.
He broke every rule in the book, just to not have any extra casualties showing the goodness in his heart, the same goodness he shows through every single game, becoming more furious with every single death of an innocent bystander.
"Correspondence between Wesley Weems & Colonel J. Mercer:
John,
The department has reviewed your report on the City Central Memorial Hospital
explosion and made the following corrections. Please ensure that these updates are made before this document is submitted to the court. Included you will also find the psychological evaluation administered under my supervision, providing further reasoning for off-world internment.
Wesley Weems, Director

Request for General Court-Martial
Date: 17 JAN 2046
Reporting Officer: Colonel J. Mercer
Accused: Lieutenant Joshua Weems
Corporal Flynn Taggart
Summary of Charges: Negligent Homicide
Assault on a Superior Officer
Discipline Suggested: Indefinite Internment
(Phobos Consolidated Brig)
Incident Report: At 1430 hours an intelligence report detailing the Insurgent occupation of City Central Memorial Hospital was delivered to Lt. Weems. This report indicated that a civilian element had been observed barricaded inside of patient
and staf rooms. Lt. Weems failed proceeded to review and relay this intelligence to Cpl. Taggart who, without prior knowledge of with reckless disregard for the civilian presence, detonated the Insurgent weapons cache resulting in the destruction of the target building.
Current reporting puts the civilian death toll at 12, but a sharp increase in local missing persons indicate that the true number is probably higher. It's my view that Lt. Weems has a history of gross incompetence and should be relieved of duty with immediate effect. After returning from the mission Cpl. Taggart struck Lt. Weems without provocation, causing moderate injury and severely undermining the chain of command.

Psychological Evaluation Report: Cpl.
Taggart
Date: 22 JAN 2046
Reporting Oficer: Lt. Tosia
Subject: Corporal Flynn Taggart
Per MARSOC procedure, psychological evaluation administered by DMI on 2046-01-
21 following post-mission confinement. Subject displayed severe indicators of combat-related PTSD and survivor's guilt associated with recent operational losses. Observed symptoms included persistent agitation, emotional withdrawal, and intermittent hostility during questioning. Subject demonstrated poor responsiveness to sedation and standard evaluation procedures. Per his demand, canine-assisted behavioral therapy was suspended in favor of a domestic rabbit previously assigned during confinement protocols. Noticeable stabilization in subject demeanor was subsequently observed. Additional evaluation recommended before subject is cleared for active-duty reassignment. Continued supervised therapy strongly advised."
After faulty intelligence led to civilians being killed, the people responsible tried to alter the report, shift the blame onto Flynn and have him permanently sent off-world.
Flynn’s answer was to put the officer responsible in the hospital.
Even while suffering from PTSD, survivor’s guilt and resisting their sedatives, the only thing capable of calming him was a rabbit called Daisy, most likely the girl that passed away, and was renamed as such to be his mental health support pet.
A man violent enough to assault his commanding officer over innocent lives, yet gentle enough that a small animal could still reach him.
And after these events, the Demons would go on to kill his pet bunny Daisy, for him to turn into the original John Wick, instead being John DOOM.
The Demons would come to find out that what they had just done, they would carry the consequences for, for all of eternity.
As the Slayer never forgives, and never forgets.
A blood debt that needs to be filled, every single one of them is responsible and thus their entire species needs to be wiped out from existence itself.
Here's him, as a human marine, before he became a god, or became known as Doomguy or the Slayer.
Gets sent solo on a mission, against an entire army
We see the Slayer confessionals in action, by the man, the myth, the legend himself.
Goes in, wipes out multiple units of terrorists / soldiers
"Is the site empty"
We end up hearing the Doomslayers voice, which is incredibly rare and of course he has the most chad deep sounding voice as you'd expect.
Blows up a car with a single shot, blowing up the terrorists hiding behind it thinking they're safe.
Been ripping and tearing as a marine, wiping out an entire entourage that's waiting for him in the front of the hospital.
Places bombs everywhere, after clearing every single room out without any form of resistance for him.
Literally can't stop his progress for even a second, non stop moving forward, clears nearly the entire hospital within a matter of minutes.
All with just a shotgun, not even anything special.
Groovy ass beat in the background, fits perfectly with the "special misison John Wick" type vibe.
Death of the little girl all due to the fault of them lying about there not being innocent bystanders in the hospital.
And the beginning of the demise of all Demonkind.
