| Origin |
|
Seeking an heir to his intergalactic time-spanning empire,
Kang the
Conqueror tested many women for their genetic
breeding potential and fathered multiple sons naming them each Marcus.
Each of Kang's sons were educated and trained as military commanders on
various worlds and time periods. Using his skills as a time-traveler,
Kang saw his heirs age to adulthood while only a month of his life passed.
Many of Kang's sons proved to be unfit and he put them to death. The
23rd attempt showed great promise as Kang's living memorial known as
the Scarlet
Centurion. |
