#mustache mark

Mark is uncertain about this earthly custom, Viltrumites don't have sex for fun. But he has been warming up to these things just for you, and it doesn't help that it feels good. His cheeks have a tint of pink, and in the end he always agrees; he can never say no to you. So now you're sitting on his face, well more like riding it. He is obviously very inexperienced, but his tongue continues to eagerly lap you up.

It's messy and the sounds are lewd, his hands grip your thighs almost bruising them. His mustache tickles you and you can't help but let out a mix of a soft moan and a giggle. He immediately stops lapping you up. His brows furrow and has a slight frown. He asks what's wrong in a muffled tone. You smile down at him and tell him his mustache tickles you.

Prisoner Mark I believe that this particular version of Mark was so close to the main dimension in terms of how events played out. He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader.

His life fell apart in the Destruction of Chicago.

He was dumped or put on a break, and his life hits an all time low when he's discovered that his life is a lie. His father, his hero, is a liar. A murderer! Someone who seemingly never cared about his mom or their life. Maybe Mark only really held value in Nolan's eyes when he gained powers. Every major life event? Nolan was truly waiting on one thing: Him coming into his powers. The game of house was over. The illusion was broken. It obviously hurt Mark. He's wounded, angry, but he doesn't side with Nolan or the Empire. Mark fights just like in the main timeline. And, just like in the main timeline, Mark lost.

I think that this moment is where we lose so many good Marks because Nolan doesn't feel remorse. Nolan feels as though he's failed. Swept up in loyalty, in an attempt to right his wrongs by raising Mark too softly, Nolan is going to take Mark to the nearest Viltrumite prison.

Many Marks succumb to their wounds by now or they simply stop holding their breath in space.

This Mark doesn't. He holds on. Why? Well... That's his dad. His feelings are complicated and he's still in shock. There's a hope beyond hope that things will change, that his father will change. One day he's Mark Grayson and the next he's an animal in a cage. Escape attempts don't work. Either his father or some stranger in a Viltrumite uniform beat him into submission and throw him back into the same sterile white room. Sometimes they switch it up and throw him into a cell with an alien that's just as pissed or as scared as he is. Every day since Chicago is pain. He hasn't seen what he looks like. There's no clear view without a mirror. Just glimpses of what he can see when he passes by a window or a stray monitor. His healing factor is more of a curse than a blessing. While Mark doesn't quite die from new methods of torture or being ruthlessly pummeled, his body simply can't keep up sometimes. He's not Invincible. Not here. He feels how his skin consumes his goggles and fuses them to his body. He feels his hair go from full, to patchy, to bald with the new scars that take over his face and head.

Mark also feels how he grows with strength. He's bulkier than he remembers. His captor's hands don't quite wrap around his body or neck like they used to. He uses the harsh gravity chambers that strained his body to the point of passing out to hone his muscles. He doesn't know what he looks like. He's terrified to know. However, Mark is confident about one thing. He's going to free himself and kill every last Viltrumite who'd dared turn him into this monster. His father especially. There are attempts at soothing himself. He'll think of his mom or his girlfriend and attempt to mimic their touch on his face with his own hardened hands. It's bittersweet thinking that maybe they'd still love him for all of his rough edges when he escapes. When Angstrom darkens his doorstep, who is Mark to refuse his offer to not only be free but to face off with Nolan one last time? What did being good ever get him?

Viltrumite Mark/Mustache Mark I don't normally include those with so little screen time, but Mustache Mark is such an important parallel to Viltrum Mark in the Mayb-Verse that he's being included. That and he looked hot with a mustache in the show. To me? These Marks are two sides of the same coin. Both began life on Viltrum after Debbie was whisked away as soon as Nolan found out that she was pregnant. He didn't want them growing soft after he observed what Earth had to offer. Nolan wanted to raise his child "right". There is no media on Viltrum that's recreational. There aren't the typical toys for children either. It could point to why Nolan is initially against Mark in the main timeline "wasting time" playing baseball, or why he indulges in these habits after he loosens up such as writing books or sharing a beer with a friend.

Even mating before the population tanked wasn't even about love or intimacy. It was choosing which candidates would make the best baby or whoever was strong picking someone that they thought was worthy enough to have offspring with. Then, at birth, the first trial begins: Being scanned for any potential flaws. If there's a sign of weakness? Viltrum will snuff it out. Quoting when Nolan spoke to Rudy in Season 2 Episode 1 "But you should have died at birth". Mark passed and his window for being a child was slim. Debbie taught Mark how to walk and how to talk. Nolan then began forming Mark into a soldier for Viltrum, teaching him how to kill. Any sparks of humanity were given to him by Debbie when she could while Nolan wasn't around. Talks about the tooth fairy, celebrating his birthday, or her telling him about Earth and showing him old photos of her and Nolan before she was taken to Viltrum. Being the mama's boy that Mark typically is? These two indulged her because that's when she'd gain some of her old spark back. His training was intense. Gravity chambers, combat, practicing raids on nearby planets for the Empire to get some proper experience. Mustache Mark likely enjoyed his time with his father and was proud that he was contributing, slowly leaving Debbie behind. Viltrum Mark, in my opinion, is a mama's boy. He went from bringing her back his teeth as a child to treasures from distant planets when he was old enough. She'll never be truly happy. He knows this. Debbie has been homesick for as long as he can remember and she likely will be for the rest of her life. She's treated well in the society, often wearing a variation of the Empire's uniform and something Mark had given her. I think Mark likely shaves his face for her as well. He wants to look more like his mom than his father, and he wants Debbie to see him as her son, not someone who's been entirely brainwashed. Not like Nolan. Both Marks were likely given the same task that Nolan had been given: Go to Earth and boost the Viltrumite population. Angstrom comes to each of them with the offer to conquer more dimensions shortly after. Mustache Mark sees it as an opportunity to make his father proud and better serve the Empire. Viltrum Mark sees it as an opportunity to see where his mother came from and potentially give them both a way out of their gilded cage.

Full Mask/Phantom Mark

I think we have another Mark is similar to the main dimension! He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader. What went wrong? Debbie. While Mark and Nolan were training and Mark had aspirations of being a hero, Debbie was home. She had her doubts, especially after Damien Darkblood approached her.

Debbie investigates Nolan herself. She finds his bloodied suit and she's obviously devastated. Her husband is a murderer who killed their friends!

She drunkenly confronts him and, instead of punching the drywall, Nolan kills his wife.

It's obviously not the best talk when Mark comes home and finds his mother dead and his father assuring him that she meant nothing. That he didn't love her. Not the way humans do. Mark is overcome with grief and is stronger than Nolan realizes due to his adrenaline. It isn't like what happened in the main dimension with Chicago. Mark is blind with rage. He keeps getting up, he uses everything to kill Nolan. There are blocks and blocks of damage, but Mark's the winner. He carries guilt and grief. People are hurt, some are killed, and Mark is now truly alone. He goes dark. The GDA claim that the Grayson house and everyone who lived their lost their lives with many others in an explosion caused by Invincible. Mark becomes reclusive and hides his face. If there are any villains, they better reform. Because he isn't funny anymore, he isn't compassionate anymore, and he doesn't want to hear what sob story is good enough that they have a right to kill someone's mother. In the dead of night, this Phantom is coming for them and putting them in the ground. His life is empty but there's heartstrings to tug. Angstrom knows exactly how to make this Mark buckle. Doesn't he want a chance to see his mom? What would he do to have that?

Sinister Mark It has been stated that people in his dimension are "off". Whether they're more prone to violence or go beyond what they would typically do as a villain is speculative. Such as this Mark's encounter with Firebreather in the comic. "The Duncan Rosenblatt of my dimension would be ashamed of you! He's the King of all monsters- one of the most ferocious villains I've faced. What happened to you?!"

That being said! I don't think there was an event that made him a bad person. He was simply born that way. Part of him knows it and no one ever truly reigned him in. He followed societal norms like a checklist. Go to school, get good grades, make a friend. It wasn't all smooth sailing. There were a few fights in his early youth. Nothing Nolan scolded him for and none that Debbie knew how to handle. I think he'd observe those around him be good and wonder why he was rotten inside. They seemed to come across their generosity so naturally and he had to observe things in TV for it to click. That if he fucks up, all he needs to do is apologize with a grand gesture. It works for a while. He learns that he has the kind of face where he can get away with almost anything. But as soon as his powers kick in? There's a shift that we see with the main dimension's Mark as well. Such as in Season 1 Episode 1 when Mark pushes back against Debbie's authority. "Make me." In this dimension? She never really knew how to raise her occasionally violent kid, so she went back inside alone. She likely thought it was best to have Mark let off some steam and tire himself out, but that was the first and most important instance that he learned that he could do whatever he wanted. He was Invincible.

He sides with his father because it aligns with his beliefs at the time and kills his mother for going against them with Cecil. Mark sides with Nolan because it's convenient. Until it isn't. He doesn't want to be told what to do, he doesn't want orders on how to instill fear on a planet to conquer it. Because he doesn't want to conquer it, he wants to burn it all down. So he kills Nolan when his guard is down and takes Earth as his post for the Viltrumites. He's biding his time until he can take the throne for himself.

When Angstrom comes and offers power? He believes he's truly won, he deserves this, and who could really stop him from turning every dimension into ash?

Sheisty Mark This Mark probably has some of my favorite headcanons in the Mayb-Verse out of the bunch!

I look at his suit, specifically his veil, and I think that he took over the mafia. Walk with me. He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader. However, his shift in personality comes very early on in his hero career. He genuinely wanted to help people. When Titan betrays him? That creates a ticking time bomb. He's pissed. Mark is looking to get his lick back and he seizes the opportunity. It isn't in a moment of a double cross, it isn't even that clever. However, Mark caught a glimpse of Nolan. He was waiting for his dad to swoop in and save the day. Yet Nolan doesn't show up.

If Battle Beast wants a fight? Mark can give it to him. Battle Beast isn't interested in money so his loyalty shifts back to his own bloodthirst, leaving Machine Head's goons to the New Guardians. Mark had the best intentions. He's seen his dad fight, save the world. Nolan is the strongest person Mark knows. When the battle is done, leveling Chicago, Mark is left shocked seeing that his father is dead. He has an unexpected ally once the smoke clears and a deadline he isn't quite sure of.

Battle Beast will come back when Mark has another worthy foe or when Mark reaches the same peak as his father.

He has the brute on speed dial and a lot of grief.

He isn't a "big picture" hero anymore. Crime needed a firm hand and Mark was willing to step in. Who's going to stop him? Titan was going to give him the ins and outs as his right hand man. In exchange, Titan gets all of the resources he needs for his family. Mark helps Debbie with the mortgage, gets her gifts, runs background checks on her new boyfriends, flies her wherever she wants to go since his father used to do it on a whim, and changes his costume so that it covers his face. He adopts an accent in meetings as he postures as someone he's not. As if he wasn't a privileged rich kid from the suburbs.

The accent becomes something he can't quite turn off anymore. If someone asks if he from Brooklyn, Boston, or some other town, he simply agrees with an "Uh... yeah!" because he genuinely doesn't know what he's doing. He expands his crime empire and he gets drunk on the power that comes with it. He's blissfully ignorant about the Viltrumites that are coming, but he'd only join forces with them to further expand his own reach. He's got bottles, bottle girls, bottle boys, bottle theys. Whatever gets him the deal where he's the boss. When Angstrom comes with the promise of new dimensions, Mark sees dollar signs and he's chasing it.

Omni-Mark

He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader. He grew to love the domestic life more than what Nolan did as a hero. He sees it as a 9-5. Mark clocks in, saves the day, and goes home. He looked up to his father and aspired to have the same relationship that he observed at home. Passionate, peaceful, and having someone to come home to.

It could be why he has such a distaste for Eve. She doesn't seem to stop helping the world and it clashes with his own views. It's petty! But when she implies that he doesn't do enough? When he's saving the world, helping his girlfriend study, going to the soup kitchen, crunching time so he can go out on dates... Mark is livid. He's better off without a superhero girlfriend. He wants to come home and shut that part of his brain off.

I think Mark also lives by a calendar app. His significant other gets their own color.

So when his father reveals that it's all a lie? When Nolan is assuring him that Debbie meant nothing, that he didn't love her. Not the way humans do. Mark is overcome with rage and is stronger than Nolan realizes due to his adrenaline. It isn't like what happened in the main dimension with Chicago. Mark is blind with rage. He keeps getting up, he uses everything to kill Nolan.

When it's over? Mark carries the guilt that he killed his father.

His home dynamic changes and he steps in to fill the role of the man of the house. He cares for Debbie and he balances his life with his girlfriend. It's controversial that he changes his suit to resemble Omni-Man's, but that was his father. As shitty as a person Nolan was for lying to them? Mark still loved him and looked up to him.

He sees it as his responsibility to shoulder Nolan's burdens. Whether it's at home or being a hero.

Mark is burnt out. He makes awful decisions to crunch time and eventually outright kills villains because he sees that they'll never change. It'll be the same bullshit last week that threatened him being late on some special occasion with his girlfriend and he's never late.

When Angstrom comes and promises power? He's more interested in potentially seeing his dad. If Nolan is around, he won't let an invasion slide. Then maybe, just maybe, he can put the family he broke back together.

Maskless Mark

He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he comes to realize that, yeah, he likes William. It isn't his place to step in while William was with Rick. So he scores a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader. After the ReAnimen incident that puts Rick in the hospital, Mark comes out to the both of them a few months later. He's pleasantly surprised when he has a girlfriend and a boyfriend who keep each other company when his work makes him busy. It's an odd dynamic but a happy one.

However neither his girlfriend nor William expect Mark to be as busy as he was. Mark feels guilty and angry as they discuss their problems in William's car. It had been a meeting that was long overdue. Typically they all go over finances, date ideas, or even open up about what they need in intimacy with the third being a mediator. However, this time, both of his partners agree that Mark isn't around enough.

Frustrated, Mark flies away to clear his head with every intention of coming back and rekindling things with them. He'll be around more, he'll save the world only when the world really needs him. He doesn't want to be a figure like his father was. As if his absence is expected.

As the the two of them make their way home, it's Nolan who stops them. He was never really happy about the dynamic. It made Mark soft and lose track of his priorities. He's exploring facets of himself instead of embracing his Viltrumite heritage. He's worried that Mark is going to get too comfortable playing house and the two of them are to blame, so Nolan crushes the car with Mark's lovers inside.

So when his father reveals that it's all a lie? When Nolan is assuring him that Debbie meant nothing, that he didn't love her. Not the way humans do. Mark is obviously upset. But when Nolan tells him that his boyfriend and girlfriend are nothing? That they're paste on asphalt? Mark is blind with rage. He keeps getting up, he uses everything to kill Nolan.

He mourns the two of them deeply. He's angry at himself, sure, but it's easier to point a finger at Cecil who kept dumping work on him as if he wasn't a young adult who was trying to figure everything out.

It's easy to conquer the world when there's nothing holding him back anymore.

When Angstrom offers him a chance to cross dimensions? The promise of power is interesting, but he has his own motivations that have him shooting towards Upstate University as quickly as he can in the hopes of finding William and his girlfriend.

Lensless Mark

He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader.

Like Sinister Mark, I don't think anything bad happened to him. There wasn't a tragic event to make him shift into a terrible person that wanted to take over the world. In fact, I think his powers are what made him a terrible person. In the first season Mark explores his powers. He's testing flight, he's doing flips and tricks and everything he's ever dreamed of. I think this Mark looks up to his dad more and leaves Debbie behind. I think he spends a lot of time with Nolan and picks up Nolan's values as he's teaching him how to be a hero.

Mark eventually treats people very casually. This is about fun, freedom, and trying to absorb everything that he can in his training. He loves zipping to Paris to grab his girlfriend something and timing himself just because he can.

When it's time to join his father? There's no hesitation. When there are rebellions, he's ecstatic. If Sinister is comparable to a sociopath, Lensless is like an orangutan. An animal that will pick something apart out of morbid curiosity and entertainment.

He's hot and cold and it's hard to tell exactly what will set him off.

When Angrstrom comes with his offer to conquer more dimensions, he takes it happily. It's like the saying, 'If the cat's away, the mice will play'. If Nolan isn't there to regulate Mark, he's going to have his fun.

His outfit is different in the show than the comic, but I think it was a good change!

He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader.

When he comes into his powers, he's confident, free, and happy. Mark also begins to adopt Nolan's attitude. Humans are pitifully weak. They're pathetic in a kind of cute way! The Earth needs Viltrum to guide it into a new era of peace. There'd be no more wars, no more famine, no housing crisis. Mark's doing them a favor.

However, with that mindset, it's hard for him to let people go. His mom, his girlfriend, and William. He really did hope that they'd grasp the bigger picture. If they don't? Mark won't kill them. They're so weak that he doesn't have to. He wants to keep those he loves, after all, for as long as possible.

He'll give them chances, sighing like a frustrated parent during a teen's rebellious phase. They don't know any better. Crippling them, like he did Eve in Season 2 Episode 1, is a mercy compared to the death that other Viltrumites would give them. He's got people that will take care of them for the rest of their days! Mark will visit when he can.

The biggest yandere vibes out of any variant just because of what happened to his Eve.

It's an entirely different story for those he doesn't care about. He sees them as a chore at best. Whether that's needing to quell rebellions or protests or giving the scared, pacified populace jobs. Mark does have a shorter fuse if they aren't someone of importance to him.

When Angstrom comes with the promise of power and dimensions, he'll accept the offer without hesitation. Angstrom was more useful than he originally thought! While he can't wait to expand the empire and make his dad proud, Mark does miss when certain people could talk to him.

Mohawk Mark

Last but not least, Mohawk Mark! He grew up in the family home, he went to school, he worked the same minimum wage job to buy his comics, and he even scored a girlfriend: Amber Bennett/Reader.

He was relatively good once. He was a hero that loved the attention. While he's proud of his Viltrumite heritage, he takes just as much pride in his cunning that he picked up while he slowly grew stronger. As soon as he learned that there was a Grand Reagent? Mark wanted that throne.

And he always gets what he wants.

That's how he began wooing his girlfriend! There's nothing like trauma bonding and saving the day to catch the eye of Amber, a cute clerk at the comic store, the barista that draws hearts on his cup, or his goody two shoes student council president. He has tunnel vision with his attraction. If he can't have what he wants? He'll bide his time or date someone who looks eerily similar until his love interest is freed up.

With his cunning, Mark comes to realize that Viltrumites tend to muscle their way through their problems after observing his Dad and a few others. As great of a race that they claim to be, they're barbaric. It's likely that they think Mark is revolutionary which is how he comes into power so early. A Viltrumite prodigy, if you will.
