Mark (Total Drama 60 Club)

Mark Brucker, labeled the Football Star or the Matchmaker, was a contestant, and one of the antagonists, on Total Drama 60 Club. He competed on the Screaming Gophers V2, Screaming Gophers Mk III, Screaming Gophers Gen 4, and Blue Square.

Personality
Unlike the average jock, Mark is actually quite nice, and easy to get along with. However, he is also manipulative, and is here to win. Mark is known for creating one of the first 2 superalliances, Bermuda Square, with Sierra, Cody, and later, Eva. Mark is known for being able to convince everyone that anyone he sees as a threat is a threat, and infamously caused DJ's elimination in Extreme Mall Day. He is also well-known for being a matchmaker, uniting or reuniting several couples, including Gwen and Trent, Sky and Dave, Vladimir and Sammy, Liam and Kitty, and most notably, Sierra and Cody. He seems to enjoy seeing people in love, no matter who it is. He respects manipulators for playing the game, and was even set up with Eva by two of the game's most diabolical manipulators, Heather and Alejandro. Notably, he openly admits to engaging in manipulation, mainly as a defense mechanism against Tobias, but is still able to convince people to vote out anyone else but him. In the start of the season, Mark received a number of phone calls from college scouts, but as of Square Pole Dancing, Mark has committed to the University of Washington.

While Mark is usually nice, he's also extremely competitive. However, when he feels that someone's gone too far, he will lash out and hold a grudge. This has only occurred once, with Amy.
