Sweet tooth

Marcus Kane was born during the period of the mid-late 1970s, the son of Amy Kane and a father who worked as a taxi cab driver. Marcus’ father was arrested at some point in time, leading to custody of Marcus going to Amy. Before the apocalypse, a young Marcus Kane was an actor and the child star of a popular sitcom called “Two Scoops” which was enjoyed by many, playing a boy named Lenny Scoops who ran an ice cream shop with Meemaw Scoops. Eventually, a new character named Billy was added, a dog who became a hit with the audience so much that the show was renamed “Billy & Two Scoops”, which made Marcus jealous. Billy’s popularity was so huge that it could be compared to Steve Urkel’s immense popularity on Family Matters, and his fanbase grew to be twice as large as Lenny’s. Marcus expressed this jealousy to Amy and his stepfather Wesley, but was ignored by the both of them. In 1989, after arguing with his stepdad, Marcus went on stage to film a new episode of the show. His performance was met with no reaction from the audience until the appearance of Billy the Dog was met with laughter and applause. Feeling overshadowed once again, Marcus finally snapped, breaking character and taking the knitting needles from his co-star and brutally killing Billy in front of the audience and director, much to their horror. He was nicknamed “Needles Kane” as a result of this incident, arrested in 1990 and sent to Blackfield Asylum two years later, where he was meant to serve a sentence of 25 years to life, but only got to stay there for 10 years, until the apocalypse from 2002. After the apocalypse, Marcus escaped along with several other inmates, later tracking down Amy and Wesley and trapping them in his cell where they remained until their deaths due to starvation. Sometime later Marcus; now known as Sweet Tooth, settled in a Las Vegas hotel with his childhood best friend Harold, an inanimate paper lunch bag. Sweet Tooth soon became the ruler of the city as a notorious serial killer who drove around in an ice cream truck full of weapons, becoming feared by many.
