    Marcus Fenix

    Character » appears in 8 games

    Marcus Fenix is the lead protagonist of the Gears of War series. A war hero who turned into a prison inmate for a rash decision, he is now humanity's last hope against the Locust Horde and the leader of Delta Squad.

    So does Master Chief have any personality?

    I found an article at IGN.com saying who would win between Fenix and Chief; they declared Fenix as the winner. Also most thinks Fenix will win because of his strength in his character. Anyways the reason I think chief is far better is because of his different class. He is goddamn Spartan, the strongest and most intelligent of all of the warriors of his class (tell me how intelligent Marcus really is?) And to the guys who say he has no personality; I kinda agree and disagree. I agree because the games in the series hardly show MC have some kind of personality. But.... if you guys read the novels, you'd understand how awesome MC and his fellow Spartans II and III s were. How they were selected...how they are paradropped from athousand feed high when they were just 5 or 6 year olds to test their wits. Its amazing. Halo as a universe is deep and rich; its just under utilized.

    I dont know about flame bait. I am just giving my thoughts on it, whether correct or not . While posting it, it asked whether I want to post in the Master Chief forum or Marcus forum; I chose Marcus as I thought with the release of GeOW 2, it would be more active.

    You're referring to their personality though, I don't even like Marcus Fenix but he at least talks at a rate, and you can understand what kind of person he is, MC not so much..hes completely stale as a character. I don't care what novels say based on the universe, the comparison is between how they are in the games. Even with you adding things that 'happened' to MC in a novel, it still isn't giving him a personality, he is mostly silent throughout almost every game, and extremely boring, and to me one of the worst characters ever.

    Thats the most disappointing part of Halo games. But in the novels, you'll love him. Also Kurt (another Spartan II)

    the only thing that I like about him is his Voice actor  Steve downs (my friends and family  say my voice is exactly like him , I can prove it if you want  lol )  other than that it is just a regular lifeless polygon  to me .

    Could you imagine the intellectual discussion those two brain dead steroid laden gym bunnies would have.

    Anyway as for a fight, are we talking to the death because I can seriously see MC and Fenix making sweet hetero life partner love halfway through the battle.

    "
    If you had knowledge of  bodybuilding you would know that it is pretty much impossible to get to that size and shape. Marcus and friends look like something from the Hulk, or bad guys from X Men."

    For the record I’m an armature bodybuilder myself  (to be precise I am training for 3.5 years ) and I should tell ya that Marcus Fenix is big but not that big , the fact that  he looks so bulky is because of his Armors , he does not look heavier than 250 pounds in my opinion (I am 225 myself) so achieving a Body like Marcus Fenix (providing that you have the genetic , exercise properly and constantly , consume sport supplement , juice very little amount of Steroid every now and then ) will only takes 5-6 years which is not impossible at all .   

    In Bodybuilding we'd  consider a person like  Marcus Ruhl as a relatively huge man , there are bigger dudes but I do not have their photos right now

    in real life Rhul is way bigger than Marcus Fenix

    The novels don't count. You can't base a character's personality based off of a third party product.

    As characters, I personally don't like either of them. Marcus Fenix and Master Chief both have very little depth. Marcus Fenix is a dumb, smartass brute of a guy, while Master Chief is a faceless, emotionless, mandroid. I'd say Marcus Fenix is the better character, but that doesn't make him a good one.

    you are totally wrong , you do not know how many times Bodybuilding saved me a lot of troubles . I knew some very huge trouble makers (7 feet , over 300 pounds)  are stronger than me but none of them fought with me simply becasue they thought I am stronger (even though I was not )  ,  it is an awesome sport

    ...so because you're a body builder, bad guys are intimidated by you. Okay. That doesn't make it any more entertaining or useful. I mean seriously, you spend years working out, eating "healthy", and sometimes even juicing just so you can look like you're big, then you stand on a stage for a while and flex while people judge who looks bigger and better shaped (and by the way I find bodybuilders to be some of the most fake-looking unattractive people out there.). It's not entertaining to watch people flex for an hour or so, and the bodybuilders spend a gigantic amount of their life just toning their bodies (and they're not even especially healthy, just big). What good did anyone get out of that?

    So it keeps you healthy and gives you a goal in life. Seems like a strange ambition, but if it puts strength in your step, then I'm not one to take that away from you. Also, I'm not exactly sure, but are you trying to compare me potheads and alcoholics just because I'm criticizing bodybuilding?

    You can't blame bodybuilders, as humans that were once primitive, we were once much more physical, and our strength and size played a lot into our success. Some people really get something out of it. It's like a hobby. Some people are "hardcore" gamers, golfers, etc, you can classify a bodybuilder similarly. Like most hobbies/sports, the more you put into them, the more you get out of them.

      I was merely talking about some Bodybuilding haters  whom I knew  and the fact that you critisize Bodybuilding does  NOT mean that you are a doper or alcoholic whatsoever . I am just saying that this way , worked /works/will work for many people , it may not work for people like you , but it sure as hell work for some dudes  .
