History
Marcus was born sometime in 1976 in Halmstad, Sweden to Shlaukian parents. When he was either 13 or 14 years old, his family would move to the United States in the town of Aspen, Colorado. Shortly after his family moved, Marcus gained an interest in Marvel and DC comics and Saturday morning cartoons (i.e. Sonic the Hedgehog, He-Man, DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, etc.), which, according to an interview, was the base inspiration for his comics and animated series.
