</tabber>
Attack Potency: Small Building level physically (Overpowered Skorge in a chainsaw duel, who can quickly cut a tank in half. Can harm those who can damage himself), Wall level to Small Building level with weapons, higher with Active Reloads (Active Reloads boost the statistics of all weaponry capable of being reloaded)

Lifting Strength: Peak Human, likely higher (Wears armor made of Osmium Plates. Osmium is denser than lead)
Striking Strength: Small Building level (Can pulverize the heads of Locust Drones, who are comparable to him)
Durability: Small Building level (Can survive explosions from his own grenades, which have this much strength)
Stamina: High. Has continuously run missions for days on end with only very minor breaks at the most.
Range: Extended Melee Range with Chainsaw Bayonet, dozens of meters with explosive weaponry, hundreds of meters with most other weapons, thousands with Longshot Sniper Rifle.
Standard Equipment: Mark 3 Lancer Assault Rifle, Gnasher Shotgun, Boltok Pistol, Bolo Grenades, Combat Knife, Binoculars, COG Armor, Communications Earpiece, Flashlight, and Night Vision Goggles.

**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.
