Marcus Kane is a character from Twisted Metal: Head-On. He is once again the driver of Roadkill, as well as once again trying to leave the world of Twisted Metal and return to the "real" world.

In this incarnation of the character, he's the split personality of Needles Kane.

Bio

Marcus Kane is a man plagued with nightmares of competing in past Twisted Metal competitions. Each dream is very real, but he believes it's all fake. He doesn't know it, but he's got a split personality. His other identity is Needles Kane (the driver of Sweet Tooth). Lately these nightmares (which are actually memories that Calypso has tried to hide from Marcus), have gotten worse and worse. Eventually he wakes up and there's a Twisted Metal vehicle waiting outside for him. Ready to put these nightmares to rest once and for all, he decides to compete in what he believes to be another nightmare; he doesn't realize this Twisted Metal is for real.

Quotes

• "I know none of this is real, is it?"
• "Wait! I don't understand! Are you saying I have something to do with all this death and destruction?"
• "Stop-STOP IT! You're confusing me!"
• "Enough of this! I wish this horrible nightmare would end, ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
• "What did he call me?"
• "Where am I?"
• "This...looks like...a nightmare."
• "I've seen this monster before..."
• "Who...Who are you?"
• "Don't you drive Sweet Tooth?"
• "I don't know why, but I believe you."
• "Is this a dream? It feels like a dream. It feels like I've been here before."
• "What is this place?! Why are we here?! What is that thing?"

Trivia

• Unlike Twisted Metal 2, Marcus is no longer explicitly identified as a homeless bum, appearing much cleaner and well off than he did before.
  • In an early version of the game when it was still known as Twisted Metal: Rage, the address of the characters was also shown in the driver's info. Marcus' was simply "NO ADDRESS", referencing his homeless nature from TM2.
• Marcus is confused that Calypso had called him Needles, which indicates that Marcus cannot tell why he is even competing in Twisted Metal at all. He says: "Are you saying that I have to do with all this death and destruction?" In a state of combined confusion and rage, Marcus basically asks that things become normal once and for all so that he can keep his sanity and feel relaxed.
