Backstory:

Born in England to Archibald Trent and an unknown mother. Archibald ignored Marcus who could only get along with this sister, Katrina. For unknown reasons, Archibald fled and left Marcus and Katrina to fend for themselves. Katrina moved away when she was old enough while Slade went to track down Archibald in America. While there, he was taken in by a biker gang. The gang leader, Roland, treated him harshly however his second command acted as Marcus’ mentor. His drifter like attitude and persona earned him the nickname ‘Slade’ which he wore with pride.

After years in the gang, Slade was betrayed by Roland and left to be arrested by up and coming cop, Norman Anderson. Slade spent a while in prison until he was met by a scientist who agreed to get Slade released if he assisted in some experiments. His mind was wiped after the experiments however the ordeal left his eye pigments mutated, changing them from green to red. After release, he found himself poor and homeless so he used his skills from his biker lifestyle to begin his career as a mercenary. On a job, he met Drake Phillips and the two collaborated with Slade’s brain and Drake’s brawn to get themselves out of a botched job.
