Marcus Jones was born in Detroit, MI to Kevin and Serenity Jones in 1985. Growing up on the mean streets of Detroit was hard on Marcus, but the guidance from his parents kept him out of trouble, especially the teachings from his father. His father being a Detroit police officer, he taught Marcus right from wrong and how to resist the pull of the streets. When Marcus was 17, he had to experience the worst possible thing life could throw at him...the death of his father, who was murdered while on duty. His father's death really took a toll on Marcus and he found it harder and harder to keep himself from falling into a downward spiral. Marcus had to sit back and watch his mother struggle to take care of him and his little sister while at the same time dealing with the local gang life tugging at him. It was during this time in his life that Marcus made a promise not only to himself, but to his family that no matter what, he would not fall and to keep himself occupied, Marcus enlisted in the army not only to distract him self but to have a chance to make a difference in his life.
During his time serving, the "supe" population was increasing and the world itself had entered a new age, but one had to wonder what happens when a "supe" wasn't around. That's when the Maxis Corporation, headed by Timothy Maxis, revealed their Alpha Project...a program designed to create a enhanced frontline soldier to deal with threats when a "supe" wasn't around. Under contract by the U.S. government, the Alpha Project was approved with various volunteers from the army signing up. Marcus Jones took this opportunity, hoping to gain the ability to make a bigger difference than he already was. Using a Gene-Tailoring Pod developed by Maxis lead scientist, Dr. Emil Langstrom, the volunteers would be bombarded with Alpha particles thus allowing their DNA to be manipulated by the pod. Out of the hundred volunteers only a few would be considered successful, Marcus being one of the first, gained enhanced strength and agility. This outcome coupled with his military training made Marcus the perfect frontline soldier and with that Maxis decided to give him the codename US Guardian, the first Alpha Soldier.
