Marcus had so much potential to develop into the series, especially that the Queen Leech was one of the pregenators for the Nemesis Project. So, him being reoccurring villain seeking for vengeance and evolving his mutation as he finds way to improve himself would have done a lot of interesting ways to cause aggravating peoblems. P.S i also read about Alexia similarities with Marcus, i agree.

Totally agreed! Marcus really did have so much potential overall, but it was all wasted by introducing him and killing him off in the same game. He could have been a great long-running villain for sure, especially since the series really could have used more of those since practically every villain either dies in their debut game or we just never see them again. But honestly with Marcus, he had enough potential that they easily could have gone a different route as well, instead giving him a redemption arc where he ends up directly helping with Umbrella's downfall. He was the one villain in the series who, despite formerly being a part of the company, hated Umbrella and his entire motivation was centered around getting revenge on them. Having one of Umbrella's founders come back and actually change his ways to instead help the protagonists bring them down would have been such a great plotline, and even more interesting since he still has the whole Queen Leech thing going for him. Someone with his knowledge and abilities joining the good side would have been so interesting and such a refreshing change of pace from the usual pattern with villains in this series existing just to be killed off. And it's just a shame because he really does stand apart from the other villains and could have easily had his whole story and character expanded on, regardless of whether they chose to keep him as a villain or if they actually went for the redemption route. Definitely a missed opportunity either way.
