Definitely a cliché character, Ranger is. We basically learn little to nothing about him besides in the intro manual (well, we can see he has great mental strength in Episode 3, but that is basically the only thing mentioned about a thing Ranger does). The Runes are described in more detail than Ranger ever was. Doomguy was described more than Ranger ever was.

Yeah, I doubt Ranger is a criminal.

Vigilante? I actually would say Ranger was one, mainly due to not being commanded to travel through the Slipgates and basically taking this strategy after the rest of the marines were slaughtered. So basically he self appointed himself for that mission, but the debatable part is due to the fact that Ranger was already in charge of the mission. When the law says you are in charge, does that mean you followed the law with your choices regardless of what they were?

Yeah, we never have any humans in Quake, so it is kinda hard to give him that one.

Eh, the grin is due more to satanic powers if I am correct. I don't think Ranger has any sense of humor (not that we would get many moments to see it).

I would say Ranger is a pretty heroic character. He has courage to endure Hell's shackles as mentioned earlier. Morality could be trying to save mankind and basically risking his life for the rest of the world to live.

Ranger isn't brooding, he has a job to get it done and has determination. No real sense of regret at all.

Doomguy has a lot of psychological issues if going by the comic. Ranger... I can't think of any.

Yeah, his armor consists of a helmet and a flak jacket. Not exactly what I would consider lots, especially when Death Knights have a lot more in this game.

Hey, if Ranger gets that gritty reboot, he might be brooding!

You know, Ranger might be wearing a helmet to prevent anyone from seeing his hair. He's actually quite self conscious about it and doesn't want the monsters to see him with a bad hair cut. Now I just want to know why he never has to replace his Helmet but keeps needing to replace his flak jacket....

Well, Ranger can bunny hop. That is a supernatural power, right? - http://www.owned.lv/images/Bunnyhopping-.jpg. This also shows Ranger is Communist, which means he has no morals and is an antihero!

Unless Ranger's family was in the military base or in another dimension (Next on Dateline, I married a Shambler!), they were probably fine.
