## Personality

Mark shows a lot of tough attitude and eager to get into fights, but shows a lot of hate towards his brother. Wylde is a fearlessly reckless racer. Buff and tatooed, Wylde has grown a great deal since he first started competing. Unlike many of the other Metal Maniacs, Wylde doesn’t race for the love of racing or fight for the love of fighting. He’s out to prove that he’s the best and — more specifically — better than his older brother.

While he respected his teammates but can be reckless at times, even go so far to compete against Tork for leadership after the incident in the Water Realm. For a brief moment as leader, he failed to realise the importance of being a leader.

Despite his situation being held prisoner, he refused to betray his team to the drones.

His brother tried to reason with him not to join them, but he flatly refused and drove off in his car. At some point he was likely with the team when the leader of the Maniacs, Tork Maddox raved against The leader of the Teku, Tone Pasaro when a tragic accident took Tone’s life.
