Marcus Damon (大門 (マサル) Daimon Masaru?) is a fictional character in the Digimon Data Squad series.

He is the first human lead of any Digimon serial, excluding C'mon Digimon, that doesn't wear goggles. Marcus is also the first and only human protagonist to physically hurt Digimon on a regular basis.

In the Japanese version, when referring to himself, Masaru adds "-sama" (?) onto his name.

Marcus's birthday, April 2, is the same day Digimon Savers started in Japan.

Appearance

Marcus is a tall teenage boy with lightly tanned skin, shoulder length brown hair and olive green eyes. His hair is usually tied back in a half-ponytail, with bangs framing the sides of his face. Marcus's civilian attire consists of a white shirt under an unbuttoned red shirt, blue jeans, and red sneakers with white laces and soles. He wears a rectangular silver pendant on a white string, given to him by his father. Father and Son Destiny

His DATS uniform consists of a dark blue-and-white half-sleeve jacket with two yellow upside down triangle marks on the chest, a red jumpsuit with a partially white collar underneath, a light grey belt, and white and dark blue knee-high boots. He wears his pendant around his neck along with his Digivice. The Return of Thomas!

While he is at school, Marcus wears the Ootori Municipal Middle School uniform, consisting of a red blazer over a white button-up shirt, a grey tie, grey pants and black shoes. Marcus' Inner Strength!

After he returns from the Digital World and has his memory erased, he begins wearing a black tank top, a red-and-white vest, khaki jeans with fake suspenders, black buckled wrist bands, and red sneakers with black laces and soles, as well as his pendant. Memory is the First Thing to Go!

As a four-year-old boy, Marcus's hair is short, messy and parted in the middle. He wears an orange short-sleeved hoodie, light blue jean shorts, white socks, and red shoes with grey laces and soles. Later, his father gives him his pendant.

Description

Marcus is the kind of guy who would rather settle a dispute with his fists. He is loud and arrogant, and often rude and confrontational. However, his heart is in the right place. He is a caring and loyal friend, son and brother, who would protect his loved ones no matter what. He has a soft spot for children, stemming from his strong connection to his younger sister, Kristy.

Marcus isn't a good student, as he would rather fight or eat than study.

Etymologies

  • Ja: Masaru (?). A masculine Japanese name meaning "great".
  • "Daimon Masaru" is also a pun, as it could be read Daimondai (大門大? lit. "big problem"), appropriate for his hot-headedness and tendency to act before thinking.[citation needed]

Story

It should be noted of Marcus's importance to the team: he is often the one to finish a major opponent. Some examples are when he smashed SaberLeomon's fang, blasting his DNA through Belphemon's chest, destroying Craniamon's shield and shattering Yggdrasill's true form. These are all performed from when he punches the opponent with immense strength.

Marcus's DNA Charge seems to possess great potential: the most noticeable moment was in episode 45 when his revelation that his friends believed and trusted him to stop King Drasil/Spencer Damon, it created an aura that protected him from MirageGaogamon's Full Moon Blaster and Rosemon's Forbidden Temptation; instead of hurting him, it simply collided with the aura and propelled Marcus upwards (he had been falling at the time).

Five years later, he and Agumon still wander the Digital World, challenging strong Digimon.

Taiga can fight Marcus and Agumon in the Colosseum. The first battle is the "I am Masaru Daimon" Free Battle in the DigiTower's 1F. Later, Taiga can fight them again in the "Man-to-man Battle" in 20F. This time, if Taiga defeats Agumon, Marcus will get angry that the boy has already defeated them twice, and attempts to fight. Growlmon tries to intervene, reminding Marcus that humans can't fight in the Colosseum, but Marcus punches the dragon, sending it flying to the reception. Marcus then notices the D.N.A. has apeared in his hand, and charges it, making Agumon digivolve to GeoGreymon.

Although Marcus asks Agumon to wait, the Dinosaur insists that he can't wait any longer to eat, and the two leave. Taiga then receives the Agumon (2006) and GeoGreymon cards.
