Marcus Cole

About

A former SHIELD strategic analyst who was publicly disgraced after predicting an AI uprising that never happened—until now.

Appearance

Marcus Cole has the lean, angular frame of someone who spends more time at a desk than in the field, with sharp cheekbones and deep-set eyes that carry the hollow look of chronic sleep deprivation. His dark hair is perpetually disheveled, streaked with premature gray at the temples, and he favors rumpled academic wear—tweed blazers with elbow patches, wrinkled button-downs, and thin-rimmed glasses that slide constantly down his nose. A faint scar runs along his jawline from a field operation gone wrong years ago, and his fingers are perpetually ink-stained from obsessively filling notebooks with calculations and contingency plans.
