This article is about the Flight 462 character. For other pages with the same name, see: Marcus

Hey, are we actually taking off? (...) Really? Because this says they grounded flights.
―Marcus to Deirdre.[src]

Marcus is a main character who appears in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462. He is one of the passengers on TruWest Airlines Flight 462 traveling with his wife, Suzanne.

Overview

Marcus seemingly is a very panicked and frantic individual due to secretly being bitten. Most likely due to feeling the infection settling in, Marcus is extremely distressed as the flight is beginning, and he causes much commotion. Though his wife, Suzanne, believes it is normal due to his illness, which runs in the family. Marcus keeps his bite a secret before eventually dying in the bathroom. Marcus' reanimation is the starting cause of the crash of Flight 462.

Pre-Apocalypse

Location Unknown

Nothing is known about Marcus' life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that at some point in his life, he married a woman named Suzanne, and the two boarded Flight 462 during the time of the outbreak.

Post-Apocalypse

Prior to the events of Flight 462, Marcus was bitten on the chest by a zombie.

Flight 462

Part 1

Marcus is one of the anxious passengers on Flight 462 who gets into a slight verbal altercation with Deirdre, one of the flight attendants. He confronts her regarding the status of the flight, and when she responds by stating that the flight is going to take off soon, he challenges her, showing her an alert on his phone indicating that all flights were grounded. He finally gets back into his seat after being ordered by Deirdre and persuaded by his wife.

Part 2

As the plane takes off and begins ascending into the sky, Marcus vomits into a paper bag as his wife comforts him.

Part 3

Marcus continues to feel nauseous as his wife gets drinks from Deirdre for them.

Part 4

During the flight, Marcus' condition worsens, and he rushes to the bathroom as concerned passengers watch.

Part 5

Marcus remains in the bathroom as his wife pleads with him to come out. Deirdre demands that Marcus exit the restroom after receiving a complaint from Connie.

Part 6

Deirdre continues to ask Marcus to leave the bathroom until a noise is heard from inside. Despite protests from Alex, she unlocks the door, and the unresponsive Marcus falls to the ground while everyone watches in shock.

Part 7

Anthony tries to revive Marcus while Suzanne is still in shock. Deirdre tells Suzanne to return to her seat, but she refuses. Alex attempts to stop Deirdre, who is trying to revive him with an AED device. His shirt is ripped open, and a bloody bandage covering a bite wound is revealed.

Part 8

Marcus, who is still unconscious, provokes Alex to insist that he requires tying up. As Deirdre hooks up and activates the defibrillator, Marcus finally reanimates as a zombie, as his glaring, dead eyes spring open.

Part 9

Marcus attempts to attack the rest of the passengers, but he is quickly restrained by Anthony. Anthony manages to lock Marcus in the bathroom again, much to everyone's relief. As the rest of the passengers are reeling from the commotion, he bangs and angrily hits the door in an attempt to get to them. It also turns out that he scratched Deirdre on the arm during the struggle.

Part 10

With Marcus stuck in the bathroom, he repeatedly bangs on the door throughout the entire part.

Part 11

Marcus continues to bang on the door. Suzanne wants to see him again and tries to open the door, but is stopped by Alex and Anthony.

Part 12

Marcus stops banging on the door, which leads Suzanne to mistakenly believe he is dying. She opens the door despite Alex's attempts to stop her. He then charges out and pins Suzanne down, killing her by biting her in the throat. Anthony attempts to shoot him, but as he doesn't know about the zombies, he shoots him in the chest. Marcus then pins Anthony down. Alex tells Anthony to shoot Marcus in the head, but he tries, but he has run out of ammo.

Part 13

Anthony narrowly escapes Marcus' grasp with Alex's help; however, she gets pinned by Marcus herself. With Jake's quick thinking, Alex gets hold of a knitting needle and drives it into Marcus's skull, killing him.

Death

Killed By

Sometime prior to getting on the plane, Marcus was bitten on the chest. He starts to feel sick when on the plane and later goes into the bathroom and dies.

After Marcus' reanimation, he kills his wife and then tries to get to the other passengers, where he attacks Anthony. Alex pushes him away from Anthony, but is unable to escape. Jake quickly gives her one of Connie's knitting needles, which she uses to stab him.
