Dark ages demons are stronger than eternal demons

I’ve played every single doom game in the franchisees history from doom one to doom dark ages. Revelations read up on all the story and had a lot of fun, but a question popped into my mind which era of doom had the strongest demon army.

Now, if you would be so kind well for me to explain why it’s the dark ages that has the strongest demon catalogue

The main reason I think the dark ages roster is stronger than Eternals is mainly because of multiple different variations of pre-existing demons and the lower surrounding them in 2016

The pinkies for example Are naturally strong demons, however during the time of 2016 and eternal the ones we find our incredibly nerve stubby, weak in comparison the reason being due to the doom slayer killing the strongest of them during the dark ages,

same thing for the demons that would eventually become the doom hunter with them originally, being some of the strongest forces consistently possessing their own energy, barrier unblock, projectiles up your physique and stronger weapon meanwhile, doom hunters are physically far weaker to the point where they’re constantly in a major life support system that could easily be destroyed with plasma meanwhile, they could easily block it

Their allegiances hell in dark ages as far stronger due to it, having an allegiance to a realm greater than URDAK the cosmic realm. The cosmic realm is powerful and dangerous consisting of creatures like the old one XAL cosmic, elementals and the wraiths a.k.a. creature so powerful that only three of them are needed to power all of hell with the cosmic room having hundreds of these things the realm was practically untouchable to any demon with the only reason demons started cropping up being the allegiance the witch had with hell itself so outside of that one small caveat the cosmic realm is the strongest realm on record

Now for the main issue, the slayer

Don’t worry, I thought of this one the doom slayer in the time of the dark ages is weaker, but the reason he does so much better against a stronger version of eternal demon army is that he has people on his side guidance in order to actually perform and somebody he actually wanted to protect he has a multitude of resources to help even the odds the Yeagers. Serrat thira and the wretch along with king Novik

Doom slayer eternal is stronger, but he has far less resources no commander thira Novik no serat no jaegar he’s stronger, but he has nothing hence why the demons in eternal are able to get a leg up in dark ages doom slayer was weaker, but he was actively trying and had actual resources to back him up meanwhile, in eternal he’s fighting weaker opponents doesn’t try half the time leaving him to slip up and has no resources whatsoever besides the betrayer in one moment
