Biography

Marcus Wright was a male human who in his adulthood by the start of the 21st century began to embark on a career of petty criminal activities alongside his brother His brother was accidently killed during an attempt to car-jack a vehicle with two cops being killed in the process. Marcus was arrested and was convicted for his actions where he was given the death penalty. Wright waited for his sentence to be conducted at the Longview State Correctional Facility. During this time, Dr. Serena Kogan of Cyberdyne Systems Genetic Research Division who wanted him to sign over his body for a research project after his death. During his time on death row, he learnt that Dr. Kogan was stricken with cancer and kept on refusing her requests until the day of execution in 2003. At that point, he agreed to sign but desired a final kiss for doing so. Marcus was then strapped onto a cross-like table and shown to his weeping friends and relatives before being executed by lethal injection. It is ambiguous as to whether the injection actually killed him or simply placed him in a coma for Serena's project, however. Marcus' body was taken apart and converted into a unique cyborg, one that still retained his human brain and heart. He was then stored in an underground facility where he would remain in stasis for 15 years as Judgment Day occurred in the world above. Skynet would later discover his body and add further enhancements to his design, completing the seemingly abandoned work of Cyberdyne Research.

During the TechCom Attack on Skynet VLA, Marcus' 'corpse' was on a table, among other dead bodies. Hours after the installation had been blown, and night had fallen, Marcus awakened in the ruins of the Skynet VLA and staggered out into the rain-soaked terrain, covered with mud and disoriented, screaming in horror at the world around him. After composing himself, Marcus took the clothes of a deceased Resistance fighter and started a long walk through the desert, finding a sand-caked road leading into Los Angeles. Upon arriving, Marcus observed the ruined city from atop the Hollywood banner and then descended into the streets where he encountered a Series 600 Terminator patrolling the city. Perhaps believing the 600 to be another human, he called out to it, only to immediately come under fire from the machine's mini-gun. Before he could be mowed down, however, Marcus was tackled to the ground by a young man called Kyle Reese; who told him: "come with me if you want to live". Following Kyle's lead, Marcus bolted for the nearby building while the T-600 struggled to free itself from a snare trap the youth had set. It escaped by shooting off its foot, however, and promptly took chase. Up on the roof, Kyle's young companion, a mute girl named Star, released another trap, crushing the T-600 beneath a box car wheel assembly.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Powers and abilities

After signing his body over to Cyberdyne Systems, Marcus was entered into Project Angel and his body was used in their machinations. Unknown to Wright, post-Judgement Day he had been cybernetically altered making him a machine/human hybrid. The components of his construction were related to that of the Terminators. A unique endoskeleton is built for him and designed to sustain his human components, such as his brain and heart. Marcus' brain was placed within the metal skull and his heart in the chest, protected by a chest plate that kept the entire abdomen armored. The enhanced heart provides blood and oxygen to the brain, aiding in the regeneration of his skin tissue, and is itself sustained by Marcus' cybernetic components. According to Skynet, the new Marcus could live for hundreds of years.
