## Biography

### Pre-Timeline

Very little is known about Marvel's origin, other than a few key events. He was born into powerful clan called Marvel, where the head forgoes their first name and only takes upon the family name. It is known in his teenage years, Marvel killed a girl of a rival Swamp Clan, and earned an arrow in the chest for it. Miraculously, Marvel survived the wound, but bears a scar there since. It is known he gained control of his clan, and used it to assert dominance in the Swamp Region, taking control of the entire region.

### Season 1

Marvel first appears in the Season 1, where he orders Jean to capture the runaways and to not fail. He throws a spear at Jean's feet as an intimidation tactic.

Marvel later sends a group of Swamp people to accompany Jean to the Criscoras bunker. When Jean returns saying he had successfully recaptured and sold Olivander to his bounty collectors, Marvel gets angry when Jean fails to capture the others. He then kills Jean with a thrown spear for failing.

### Season 2

Marvel reappears in Season 2, where he starts off being friendly with Marcus Green and Stasia. He tricks them into collecting a bounty of the escaped underground from earlier. In return he promises to help the Jungle Clan build a new frontier town north of the Untamed Jungles.

Although Marvel is still scarcely seen, his actions caused turmoil for Marcus Green and Stasia once he heard of their betrayel. He sent Khabib, a swamp hunter, after the two.

### Season 3

Marvel starts to appear more frequently in the third season, where he is seen actively taking part in his master plan. He tricks the people of the Jungle into allying with the swamp, promising them riches and rewards for services. With the Jungle at his back, Marvel then prepares his first attack.

Marvel, accompanied by Khabib and Ingrid, gather a large force of Swamp and Jungle warriors to capture and enslave the people of Bunker 17. Using water magic, Marvel is able to draw out most of the people in the bunker by flushing them out with rising water. He and his forces begin to beat up and bind the underground, putting them on carts and wagons and shipping them off to slavery for the Swamp Clan.

He is later seen killing a running slave from 60 yards with a thrown spear. After this, a group of fighters in the community called the Red Ravens emerge, and begin to shoot. This causes Marcus Mariota, Marcus Green, Morgan, Orianna, Stasia, Mateo and his trusty parrot Spectre to join in on the battle. The group manages to confuse and spread apart the army.

Marvel fights in the battle, killing members of the Red Ravens with his spear, and later his kukri. He attempts to abduct Mateo for freeing slaves, but Morgan's fire magic distracts Marvel long enough for Mateo to escape his grasp.

However, Marvel's plan is ultimately a success, as despite the resistance and casualties, he succeeds in capturing the majority of the bunker. He claims the slaves would fuel his war machine.

Marvel reappears when he is heard killing several plains people in New Louisville over a battle radio. Marvel returns to the swamp after the successful takeover, going to visit his vault. That's where he ends up finding would be thieves Marcus Green and Anastasia Keating. Marvel kills Marcus Green with throwing spears, but Anastasia is captured by the Coven before Marvel can kill her as well.

### Season 4

Marvel shows back up in Season 4, having romantic moments with Melanie. He devises a plan with Melanie and Jess later on to try and take over the Criscoras bunker so that Yuri could be convinced to not flood the world. Marvel then goes with Melanie and Jess to the Plains where they devise a plan to infiltrate the bunker and kill it from the inside.

They meet up with a jungle camp where they add Janette and DeMarco to their forces. The five attack under the cover of darkness, as Marvel remains outside to kill anyone who tried to leave the bunker. After a short fight, Marvel notices the battle being taken outside. He fights Amina, before Melanie comes back and begins to choke the girl with dark chains.

LaMelo comes out to stab Melanie, saving Amina from asphyxiation. Marvel then throws a spear into LaMelo for this, before being struck down by Orianna with a bunch of throwing knives, ending the vile swamp commander.
