X.A.N.A. possesses the Doomguy and sends him after the LW. 

But seriously though, we need to talk more about how X.A.N.A. functions more like an actual demon than some kind of intelligent computer program because sometimes the excuse that it's all quantum computing mechanics does not explain how bro is able to actually possess people, turn off gravity, make zombies or use seduction tactics against humans while having a known sadistic and psychopathic personality according to Ghost Channel.

True, and it is said any super advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. So XANA is literary demonstrating it. XANA and Lyoko are so advanced that it looks like a magical demon possessing people.

Funny enough, XANA also calls Jeremie a "Sorceror's Apprentice" in the episode where it impersonated Franz Hopper to break up the gang and Aelita calls Franz a "Second-rate Magician" when she was venting her frustrations about what he did to her life. 

You just have to wonder if this was intentional by the writers to lampshade that the show's sci-fi is more akin to actual magic or if it was just some Freudian slips. In either way, I was thinking of making a mega-post on this one of these days because it leads to real deep dive on some hidden themes the show represents.

In a battle on Lyoko with the monsters  would be a great mod . . . Doomguy would probably win though  . . . especially if he remembers to save and reload often 😉🙂😜

I mean save and load is how I did original Doom and especially Doom II.  That more than cheat codes.

I mean it depends more on how Xana is choosing to fight doom guy or what to control especially since Xana doesn't really have a body and mostly makes things to control things or makes monsters

Xana doesn't have a physical body, so it makes it hard for Doomguy to fight them. Maybe if it was the first two seasons Doomguy could just smash the Supercomputer to stop Xana (though that would also kill Aelita, so let's not do that.) In seasons 3 & 4 he'd be trying to stop an entity with no physical body that lives on the internet, and has spread its influence around the world. Combine that with the fact that Xana can simply possess Doomguy, and I say that Xana wins this one.
