Biography
Meeting Kate Five
On her first night in Angel Falls, Kate found herself drawn to the Bleeding Rose, a night club in the Old Harbor District, as a hunting ground for a new victim. Before she could try to kill anyone, however, she was pulled aside by Marcus, who had detected her nature. He informed her that he kept a strict no-killing policy in the club and didn't want “her parasite” causing trouble. He was surprised and disturbed when Kate's reply was voiced in terms of “we”, not having realised that there existed a mind-meld between her and the Symbiote. He cryptically informed her that the Symbiote was slowly killing her before drawing a glowing, red, magical seal in the air, intended to banish Kate out of the club. Revealing her symbiotic powers in full, Kate was able to block the beam of magical energy. However, Marcus, moving impossibly fast, dodged her retaliatory blow and mads her vanish with a touch and a “Begone”, teleporting her to the boardwalk. Marcus then phoned City Hall, telling them to inform the Guardians of Kate's location. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2)
Meeting Battle Angel
A few weeks after Kate Five's rampage in Angel Falls, the Bleeding Rose was visited by her former teammates Battle Angel and Nexus Girl, who were trying to pick up her trail after she'd disappeared once again. Spotting them instantly among his patrons, Marcus had Lori tell Battle Angel to speak with him. He tried to convince Battle Angel that Kate was a lost cause, but was impressed with Battle Angel's insistence that her friend was still good deep down and merely driven to evil acts by the Symbiote's insistence. Deeming her passionate loyalty “refreshing”, he agreed to help the heroines. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
