Who is Marshal?

Brief History Marshal met Marvin Hoffman as a young man. The two friends began healthily competing, but it lead to a huge fall-out between the two. They were able to reach common enough grounds to form their incarnation of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants . Almost immediately after, the team disbanded because Hoffman became power-hungry. Marshal eventually became an agent for the government, bent on taking Hoffman out. The next time Marshal appeared was at Barksdale Air Force Base, where he spoke with a survivor of a recent Brotherhood attack. Before he had a chance, the base was destroyed by an unknown source. As he watched the base burn to cinders, he realized it was now up to him (and him alone) to capture "X." He was later seen offering his services in finding Malon Reeves , daughter of Malcolm Reeves , who had been captured by London Cell of the Brotherhood.
