With "Doom" recently rebooted, I think it is a good time to remind everyone who the most powerful fictional human to ever be conceived is: Doomguy. Warning: This article contains spoilers for all of the "Doom" games, so be warned!

That's right, this mean, green space marine is more powerful than Gandalf, Thor and even Master Chief who commands space marines to fight against space zombies. For the first "Doom" game that came out back in 1993, the premise was that Doomguy was the only surviving marine after the gates of Hell open on Mars' two moons, Deimos and Phobos.

By saying he is the only surviving marine is only somewhat true because many of his comrades were possessed and now attack the Doomguy on sight. This poor guy not only has to survive on the Moons, he also has to destroy his possessed friends and co-workers, as well. To make matters worse, the only way off the moon is on a shuttle that he does not know how to pilot, so he must continue forth into the unknown. As he progresses, he eventually finds himself in Hell and ends up in the city of Dis, which is made up of the sixth through ninth levels of Hell, and battles a demon that looks like a brain on stilts.

As he fights to hell and back, Doomguy eventually makes his way to a portal the demons use to enter Earth, which is swarming with hellions that he has to exterminate, only to find that Earth, itself, is almost completely in ruins and humanity trying to escape. After fighting through vicious hordes and shutting down a device that was preventing humans from leaving Earth, which an entire army couldn't do, he has to make his way back into Hell to stop the invasion. Once in Hell, the only way he can seal the portal is by killing the Icon of Sin. I'd like to see Gandalf try to do that!

Did he succeed in sealing off the gates of Hell from invading the Earth and destroying mankind? Mostly. It turned out that a single demon survived on a satellite orbiting Earth, and since he has dealt with demons before, he would be the perfect guy for the job! Spoiler: He kills that demon, too. "Doom 3" is ambiguous on whether it is a reboot or a sequel, but if it's a sequel, then it just adds another level of awesomeness on Doomguy's part. "Doom 3 has a demon dragon in it."

This guy not only goes to Hell, but he comes back and then goes back a second and possibly third time! Many other characters who die are usually only resurrected once, but Doomguy doesn't even die, yet he comes back from the afterlife twice and still keeps fighting! The craziest part about all of this is that he does this all alone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
