- Fabricator: A 3D printing device used to create parts for settlements, it can allow Marcus to equip nearly anything in his arsenal. However, it requires power to function and cannot be used without it.
Intelligence: Above Average. Shows remarkable talent on the battlefield, enough to think up strategies on the fly and even plan for unexpected new developments. Developed the Mark 3 Lancer Assault Rifle from spare Mark 2 Lancers on his lonesome, and later refined the weapon concept for mass production with help from Damon Baird. However, he has not shown much talent outside of the battlefield.
Weaknesses: Can become extremely angry to the point of irrational action. Active Reloads require perfect timing to pull off. The Fabricator requires power to generate items, which it slowly gathers. He cannot be equipped with all of his weaponry at once.
Note: Due to the massive list of weapons, Marcus can be equipped with, battles should specify which weapons he is using in battle. If not, it should be assumed he is using the Mark 3 Lancer Assault Rifle, Gnasher Shotgun, Bolo Grenades, and Snub Pistol. It also needs to be specified if Marcus has a Fabricator, as this can allow him to access his entire arsenal and more.
