Another thing about the Marauder is that his gameplay may not make him a good rival
Because a thing with rivals is that they usually play like the main character but with differences, sometimes making you think they're cooler than your character
Doom Eternal is marketed around the idea of Doomguy's power level and he's revealed to have a lot of attacks and weapons
Marauder doesn't even have a shoulder cannon or arm blade to resemble the DG, only an axe, SSG and maybe some grenades if those skulls in concept art meant anything
It's probably why he's better off as an enemy, specially if it brings back the idea of enemies carrying the same guns as the player and originally working close to him until they were "corrupted" (Because possessed soldiers don't even have the advanced weaponry you can use and AFAIK, Slayer isn't really tied to the UAC)
Unless he has different phases where he actually ends up resembling Doomguy and even becomes stronger
