## Description

### Appearance

Marco appears as an average, slender boy with tan skin, brown eyes, black hair, and a widow's peak. Diagnosed with severe eczema on his left arm, he's right-handed and usually wears a red shirt with cerulean shorts and black Jordan shoes. He wears his yellow cap anytime his signature wavy front haircut grows bigger, and likes wearing sunglasses most of the time.

### Personal Information

Although he's proudly Texan, Marco is claimed by his parents to be of Mexican-American origin (since he speaks Spanish and was raised by Mexican-born parents). However, he likes various other cultures as well, especially European and Asian cultures. Unlike his friends, Marco has a "secret agent child license" given to him by the Secret Agency Bank. He likes "everything that's good" like his friends, family, food, pop culture, etc. and is a devoted Christian who wants to see some change in the world, although by the fourth film he becomes self-aware that he can't change things.

## Personality

At first, Marco was depicted as an overly dependent, self-centered kid indifferent to everyone's opinions about him, only vying to be "the world's greatest spy" in the first film. On the positive side, he does seem to care for his friends and family, who help him become much nicer and independent, and has a unique sense of humor. He also has a God-given sense of high intelligence (hence the irony that he never went to school anymore after his elementary years) and likes trying new things, as well as creating various inventions and drawing cartoons of himself and his friends. Since he expresses much with hand gestures to attract attention, Marco usually comes up with the plan for his friends. He could best be described as kind, very smart, creative, slightly awkward, sometimes shy, athletic (since he likes sports, particularly bowling), friendly, charismatic, funny, loving, calm, cool, somewhat mysterious, and optimistic. As seen in most *Marco* movies, he is usually portrayed as a gentleman and hopeless romantic whenever he likes to compliment girls through his words or actions. Marco rarely gets angry and shows no emotion when he's being pressured to do something evil against his will.

* In *Los Beibis* (2018), he is shown walking with Isabella on Central Park, and then shown again during the Times Square scene with his iconic slogan "YES YOU DO"
