PersonalityExtremely friendly and outwardly kind, Marcus is a very petty and sarcastic man. Always wanting to help but very attentive to his appearance. He takes any word against himself, be it of his career, abilities or appearance, as serious a death threat. As said before, extremely proud and often vain, he is nonetheless a selfless hero and has placed himself in life threatening situations to save civilians on many occasions. In his own words,
"What good is it being as handsome and simply outstanding as I am if one has no fans to talk about you?" BackstoryFather put in jail for possessing very specific illegal images as well as dealing drugs, and mother dying of a drug overdose, Marcus has always been very meticulous about his appearance, as if he were trying to crawl his way out of his family name through appearance alone. After a brief stint in an orphanage where he spent most of his life honing his powers to hide them, he was eventually 18 when he finally left behind the kindly old folks who took him in and joined the H.E.R.O organization.
He was a fast fit for the job, his eagerness to make his own name for himself coupled with the natural fame that came with it easily helped the previously shy and overly emotional young man develop not only a sense of self-esteem, but quickly develop into a man with a strong sense of right and wrong, even if he is quite vain about most everything he does.
The discovery Doctor Shelly's lab and the subsequent solo destruction of everything inside quickly lead to the discovery of SG3U199. SG3U199 was nothing like many of the half cooked abominations in the Doctor's Lab. She was lucid, curious, wasn't violent, but most of all was terrified and confused. Marcus brought the thing... No the girl, back with him after retrieving as much data about the experiment as he could, and topping the whole experience off by tearing the godforsaken building apart beam by beam.
He named the girl Avangaline, but her inability to initially pronounce that lead to her being called Ava. Marcus now acts as a sort of adoptive father for the genetic mutation, and will take any word against her as seriously as he would a word against himself.
PowerBlacksmith's DreamMarcus, in short, is able to manipulate metal. For a longer explanation? Marcus is able to control metal at a near molecular level. Technically metal of any amount small or large is not out of reach for him, but he has a defined limit before things start going wrong.
Able to safely control 10 tons of metal and up to 15 tons with effort, Marcus can move and manipulate metal in much the same way one uses telekinesis. Propelling it through the air, ripping it out of buildings, bending it or ripping it asunder.
Marcus is also able to sense metal in a roughly 30 foot radius around him. However as said before Marcus has his limits. Trying to control more than his limit allows for results in the excess weight manifesting on his body. He has a slight control over where the weight is placed but if things were to get out of hand he could easily crush himself instantly without touching anything.
OTHER -
Secretly a Starbright Fan. He owns all the music.
Walks with a limp and a cane since roughly a month ago following an encounter with an explosives based villain at a bank who had taken several hostages. Manipulating enough metal to keep the building from crushing them long enough to hide in the bank vault turned the bones of his lower right leg into dust. It has since been replaced with a simple synthetic metal limb.
He has taught Ava a few threats that seem a bit more effective and or unsettling in her hands, such as...
I will invert your ribcage.And
Your teeth will be mine....
Mostly cause he thought it was funny.
