Marcus Matthews

Marcus Matthews (April 12, 1962-May 19, 2016) was the father of the late Nikki Matthews and the foster father of Justin Argo. Marcus owned a Dojo in Downtown L.A. while he raised an eleven-year-old Justin, whose parents has died, and his own daughter, Nikki. However, one day, Justin and Nikki had sneaked out to the creek by the house where she drowned. When Justin was 28 he gained the ability to turn his skin into steel, through dormant "super-genes" given to him by his parents' experiments. Marcus helped Justin with his crime-fighting, until May 2016 when the League of Supervillains blew up several L.A. locations, killing Marcus among others.
