Official Backstory
Mack 10 was a normal Crey Drone... until he winced. You heard me, winced. He made a face. He didn't like the "Yes, sir's," "No, Sir's," and "Command Confirmed's" that were dribbling their way out of his mouth. He walked off the assembly line with three other Crey Drones in tow to start "life" anew. It turns out "life" wasn't nearly exciting enough for his tastes. He quit his job (as an accountant, of all things) to become the superhero he was destined to be.
What Really Happened
MK-10 never walked off the assembly line. He didn't just walk out of ACF4. He was never an accountant. The real story is much, much less marketable.
Powers
The MK line is imbued with great repair ability. Their Internal Nanite System (or INS) is self-replicating, self-repairing, and self-contained. Some have argued that this effectively makes the MK line immortal. Naaah. Also, the MK line has a built-in antigrav flight ability. Activated after about 14 security levels' worth of charge, this allows control and airspeed rivaling the latest jet fighters.
The Backlog
Mack keeps equipment left over from encounters he's had with enemies over the months. This pile of lethal detritus is collectively referred to as "The Backlog". Its location is a mystery, but it provides a solid backup system in case Mack should ever lose his powers. Located in the Backlog are:
- A Sky Raider raptor pack
- A Zero-G jump pack
- A teleporter to Pocket D
- A shotgun, scavenged from a failed Lost-Troll weapons deal
- A minigun, taken from a dead Longbow Agent
- A Fire Fighter 3000
- A Rikti Sword and Rifle
- A Shiva Shard
- The destroyed PsychoChronoMetron
- Countless other articles of weaponry, not yet detailed.
Given the state off this enigmatic "Backlog", Mack himself may not even know all the artifacts contained within. It may be another pocket dimension, similar to Pocket D or Hammerspace, accessible at will. This may also explain how he and other superbeings in Paragon manage to produce weapons at will.
Story
Trivia
- Mack's armor is pure Ditanium.
- If Mack were in the hypothetical Virtue Movie, he would be voiced by Yahtzee Croshaw.
- Mack's Flight abilities have caused him, either through delerium or a sense of humour, to nickname himself "The Angel of Death."
- Mack's theme song, due to himself (in his own eyes, at least) being a combination of tech and human soul, is Stronger by Kayne West.
- Mack wears the upgraded badge in-game.
- Mack's name is actually spelled in-game with a dash: Mack-10.
- Mack is fluent in 8 languages, including Rikti, Pig latin, and Binary. However, due to technical constraints, he is unable to curse in any of them.
- Mack has participated in three Rikti repulsion efforts, the destruction of Babbage, and the slaying of the monster Kraken. However, he has never been able to contain any of Steel Canyon's many, many fires.
- Mack has defeated Dr. Vahzilok and the Lost leader Kurse on his own.
