Marvelous Man

**Marvelous Man** is a character in *The Guardians of Justice.* He is portrayed by Will Yun Lee.

## Profile

He is an alien superhero who has protected the Earth for over 40 years. The apparent suicide, but possible murder, of Marvelous Man throws the world into chaos, leaving his Guardians of Justice facing a challenge like never before.

## History

Not much is known about Marvelous Man's past. He was born on his home planet of Caltron where it is assumed he spent much of his childhood. One day Caltron was attacked by the eternal cosmic titan Galacron. It is unknown if Galacron attacked Caltron by surprise or not but he did manage to destroy the entire planet along with almost all of it's population, save Marvelous Man and Commander Zedd.

At some point after the destruction of his homeworld, Marvelous Man learned that Galacron's next target was a planet called Earth. He arrived on Earth in 1947 during the height of World War III, which he single handedly ended in just one day. It was during this time the people of earth named their alien saviour Marvelous Man and welcome him with open arms.

Marvelous Man continued to protect earth from various threats and monsters, such as Kaiju monsters, preventing JFK's assassination and brokering peace between nations. Marvelous Man saved Knight Hawk one night while he was fighting criminals in the street and upon their first meeting told him that Galacron would one day come to destroy the earth.

Shortly after, Richard Nixon established the Guardians of Justice to assist Marvelous Man with protecting the innocent, the original members included Knight Hawk, The Speed and Golden Goddess. But soon Marvelous Man was accused of favouritism in favour of America so he vowed to stay out of global politics altogether and just focus on helping the everyday person.

During his 40 years on earth Marvelous Man meet a woman named Laura Louis, the two started dating and then eventually got married. However their marriage was somewhat hollow, as the two had nothing in common and there was little to no love between them. Laura started having an affair with King Tsunami but Marvelous Man found out and ended their relationship.

At some point Marvelous Man meet Mind Master and the two fell in love but due to the public intolerance for homosexuals they had to keep their relationship a secret. Mind Master came up with a plan to fake his death so he and Marvelous Man could continue their relationship in private. After Mind Master faked his death he started using his powers to create the drug mellow devil. Marvelous Man begged Mind Master to stop but he refused because Marvelous Man wouldn't divorce Laura Louis and come out publicly as a couple with him. Marvelous Man left Mind Master after he refused to stop creating mellow devil.

At this point in his life, Marvelous Man was severely depressed and felt very alone. He couldn't sleep as every time he closed his eyes, he heard the screams and cries for help from people around the world. The pain was too much for him to bare, so much so that during the yearly M-Day broadcast, Marvelous Man committed suicide by shooting himself in the head using a caltronite bullet. Mind Master did try to stop Marvelous Man using his mind controlling abilities, but Marvelous Man's will to die was so strong that not even he could stop him from pulling the trigger.

## Personality

Marvelous Man was a kind and protective man. He valued all life and dedicated his life to protecting all he could. He was perfect to a fault, never resting to save a life and believed in a code of not killing or ruling. He tried to see the best in people but wasn't blind to a person's faults, as when he found Black Bow and Blue Scream killing drug dealers in order to get high.

The Speed did describe Marvelous Man as cold, distant and somewhat boring but this could have been contributed to the fact he was scared of people finding out about his sexual orientation during a time of widespread discrimination against homosexuals. So he kept his distance from people and often lied to them about who he really was. Marvelous Man would even go as far as to erase memories from Knight Hawk which he believed showed his true feelings.

Marvelous Man had mental health problems which he never confronted or dealt with, such as depression and loneliness. The feeling of knowing that no matter how many people he saved, every day someone else still died. This caused Marvelous Man tremendous amounts of pain that he couldn't deal with which lead to him taking his own life.

Ultimately, Marvelous Man's inability to deal with his issues and the pressure he put on himself to save people was just too much for him to bear in the end.

## Appearance

Marvelous Man was a tall, muscular man with thick black hair and brown eyes. Despite being from another planet he had the appearance of an asian man.

He wore a tight white suit with a M in the middle and a red cape and boots.

## Relationships

### Laura Louis

Marvelous Man was married to Laura Louis but their relationship had little love. They had nothing in common and by the end both of them had found love in another person. In all likelihood, Marvelous Man married Laura because he felt that was what was expected of him as a man.

### Mind Master

Mind Master was more than likely the only person who truly knew anything real about Marvelous Man and was the first person he felt he could love. However their relationship was doomed as Mind Master wanted Marvelous Man to leave his wife and go public with him. Marvelous Man couldn't do that so he left Mind Master. Leading up to his suicide, this could have been the straw that broke the camels back that finally pushed Marvelous Man over the edge.
