PAST:
Mark was conceived on Venus and born on Mars, which he still considers his true home. Earth is a sad compromise between the two. Having crash-landed in Alabama right outside NASA headquarters while still an infant, his post-natal background is not unlike that of Superman's, only without the powers. He had always assumed he would lead the first Earthian Mars landing, but the current US President has now pushed that mission back to the year 2030, so he has settled instead on using his position as synth maestro in the intergalactic band "moonlife" as a way to grease the diplomatic channels. For the full story (note that names were changed due to Pluto's copyright laws), see Peter Bagge & Gilbert Hernandez' "Yeah!" from DC Comics (1999-2000).
WHAT MARK KNOWS:
Nada. Nichevo.
