Marc1 is not a small man — 6'2" and physically imposing thanks to a lifetime of violence and vigilantism. His presentation varies wildly with his mental health and can — though not always — be a very accurate portrayal of just how well he's doing. His brown hair is kept short and combed to one side, and if he's clean-shaven or neatly groomed, he's
probably doing okay, mentally speaking. If he's not, well, he might have just had a busy couple of days or he might be in the middle of a breakdown, who knows, certainly not Marc Spector.
He often looks tired, with dark circles underneath his eyes (he pointedly refuses to get a regular amount of sleep on a regular basis and clearly doesn't know the definition of 'self-care'), and he has a noticeable scar running through his left eyebrow. As a man that doesn't believe in dodging a punch or a kick or
anything if he thinks it'll give him the mental
or physical upper-hand in a fight, he's near-constantly bruised and carrying an assortment of injuries — frequently broken or bruised ribs, a broken nose, black eye(s), and he has a history of back and knee problems.
In the words of Taskmaster: "of all the fighting styles I've ever tried to copy, yours is easily the worst. Have you ever seen a punch you wouldn't prefer to take with your face?"
Marc tends to be difficult to get along with, abrasive and blunt with a very dry sense of humour. Surprisingly eloquent and very fond of dramatics, Marc can be charming when he wants to be, he just ... often isn't, and he carts around a slightly warped perception of reality.
In terms of clothing, Marc can often be found in the
three-piece white suit of his 'Mr. Knight' identity. When he's
not playing at being a vigilante, Marc drifts towards plain, practical clothing — t-shirts, cargos and
turtlenecks in dark neutrals.
1 comics being comics, different artists have depicted marc & co slightly differently, but in this house, we go with GREG SMALLWOOD's portrayal (l-r: jake, marc, steven).
