Quincy as much as Jason does with Paige. He has a four older sisters, and his family is wealthy.
In Camp Foxtrot he is shown to like Phoebe Wu, often comparing her to her brother, Eugene. Marcus is shown to be very smart although maybe not as smart as Jason. He loves to help Jason with his overly complicated projects like making a 19 ft tall paper machè T-rex and model rockets.
Appearance[]
In the original comics from the 1980's his appearance was a bit different. His face was longer, his hair was a bit different, his ears were drawn different, and his nose also was different.
Later as Bill Amend's drawing style changed Marcus' design got updated to mostly the design we know today but with a slightly longer face.
Finally, his face became more straightened and he became less thin.
Personality[]
Like Jason, Marcus loves many geeky things. In the late 80's and 90's, he shared Jason's love for dinosaurs, but he too gradually became interested in Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dungeons and Dragons. In contrast to Jason who hate/detests girls but secretly likes one, Marcus is shown to express his interests in girls publicly, often shown to be more accepting to Phoebe.
