It is thick as most natives to Japan.

He has brown eyes, and tanned exotic skin due to his diverse family background. On his mother Madison’s side it includes Japanese, Swedish, and Caucasian. On his father's Richard Davis' side is English, African, and Norwegian. His face has been compared to that of a boy band member.

His multi-racial and multi-ethnic background gives he and his siblings a very unique look that often draws attention. When asked about his race his response is often, "I'm human, why identify with one race when we're all the same on the inside?"

Childhood
Marcus Davis was born in Tampa, Florida on November 15, 1983 to Richard and Madison Davis(who were only 17 at the time). His family was quite wealthy, but always kept a level thought process. Marcus was tought at home up until high school. During home schooling, the Davis family would often travel to Japan. Marcus's mother, Madison had family ties with Martial Arts instructor, Takeshi Matsue. Marcus would train at the Dragon Dojo, from the age of three. Despite the Japanese Ochi/Soto system his knowledge of the language, knowledge of Japanese customs, and his mother having lived in Japan, he was much more quickly accepted in Tokyo than back in the states. Ever since this point of his life, Japan has always felt as his home. Takeshi and his fellow masters would teach Marcus and their students a variety of styles. Marcus would practice Jujitsu, Taekwondo, and Kung Fu. This is where he learned the spiritual nature of martial arts, learning that martial arts is more than a combat form. Due to this mentality, he has a dislike for any Mixed Martial Arts competition.

Once Marcus reached High School, he wouldn't visit Japan as much. Often times Marcus found himself lonely and exiled in High School, due to students being jealous over his family money. His problems would continue, even with losing a scholarship due to a High School Football issue, in which Marcus was convicted of an issue that led to him losing his scholarship. This is when Marcus Davis turned to his loves, Martial Arts and Wrestling.

Early Career
Marcus traveled back to Japan, his parents spoke to another family friend of Madison, Young Lion Kenji Metwaro whose mother is a long time friend of Madison. Kenji would help Marcus train, he wasn't that adapt at this time. So, his training lacked slightly, the two trained at the NJWF Dojo when official classes weren't taking place. This was probably a mistake, as Marcus lacked a solid amateur wrestling background. But, he began wrestling in the NJWF in August 2000. He would struggle a great deal, not winning a match until October. Marcus would then decide to wrestle elsewhere, not under an official Excursion. During his time in the NJWF, the natives would call him "Masayume" which translates to "A Dream That Comes True."

Marcus would not be an official member of the NJWF, but he would carry the NJWF with him. He would accompany Kenji Metwaro on his Excursion to Mexico, which began in December 2000. Marcus would continue to struggle inside the ring, although many saw potential in him. In March 2001, Marcus would go back to Japan and the Takeshi Matsue Dragon Dojo for a month. While there he was approached by the major US wrestling company, Armageddon.

Armageddon, wanted Marcus to use the name Impact. Marcus accepted the deal and went to wrestle in the US for the first time. His fortunes did not change, he would struggle again. He would later be fired from Armageddon, and would jump to a few smaller feds such as the BZWF, BLWF, and other small independent promotions. Nothing much changed success wise, yet he did surprisingly win his first Championship. The NGWF Television Championship, which is the company where Marcus reverted back to his real name, adding "The Dream" moniker which was given to him in Japan.

Finding Success
In May 2002 Marcus would be hired by the Championship Wrestling Federation out of Texas. This was before the Owner Joe Levinsky helped the CWF gain a reputation as a sleezy promotion that catered to those who wanted to see nothing but extreme T&A and less than exciting matches.

Marcus would find success in the CWF, yet never being happy with the overly Sports Entertainment style of the company. He would win the CWF European Championship twice, the second reign only ended when stripped by future ex-girlfriend Jenna Levinsky. Afterwards, Marcus would go on to win the CWF Intercontinental Championship twice. Although, with the good success he never found his way into the World Championship hunt.

Marcus finally did win the CWF World Championship, and would later go on to win the CWF International Championship twice. His final match in the CWF saw Marcus lose the CWF International Championship to Jack Levinsky. He was also fired from the CWF that night, the following week on UBC television, when Marcus was expected to announce an agreement between he and the CWF, he announced he would be returning to the NJWF. Marcus could have sued the CWF for void of contract, yet he only had a few months on the contract and decided to move on with his career. Marcus would then return back to the NJWF in July 2007, after spending over five years in the CWF.

Controversy In CWF
During his time in the promotion a one time BHC World Champion Grant Ralton (in March 2004) would refuse to defend the belt in Japan or against any opponents the BHC asked him to do so. He and the CWF would keep the 2nd Generation BHC World Championship, which would lead to a lawsuit between the CWF v. NJWF and BHC.

The lawsuit was over possession of the 2nd Generation BHC World Championship and over slanderous and libel claims that the CWF had made. The case would last until May 2007 when the CWF was found to be responsible for $5.4 million worth of damage to the NJWF name, but they were able to keep the 2nd Generation BHC World Championship. The CWF also had to pay the court fees for both the NJWF and BHC.

This case led to Marcus Davis becoming extremely upset with the CWF, but he had resigned a 4 year contract on January 3, 2004 for what was worth $6.2 million and guaranteed he would not be released before the end of the contract. After the lawsuit was finished and the CWF had officially fired Davis, he decided he was done. The CWF approached him to come to terms on a new contract and put the past behind them, even promising a CWF Heavyweight Championship match. Joe Levinsky gave Marcus Davis airtime on UBC in order to announce a new deal between the parties. Marcus Davis surprised a lot of people by saying he quit and was returning back to the NJWF. CWF fans are still bitter towards Marcus, but he couldn't care less.

NJWF (2000) (2007-Current)
Upon signing back to the NJWF and making public statements against the CWF, the NJWF fans welcomed Marcus with open arms. Marcus went as far as to donate every contractual dollar he made with the CWF to various charities claiming, "He didn't want dirty, dishonorable money." Marcus would quickly join the Foundation of Honor Army and has been apart of it ever since.

Marcus has just recently turned his attention to Championships in Japan, despite being one of the most popular wrestlers in the country. His first ever BHC Championship match was for the BHC World Championship after winning the 2010 Champions Cup against Kazuki Shimizu. The match was held as the Main Event of the Kingdom In The Sky II: NJWF V. The World Pay Per View which was held on January 1, 2011 inside the Tokyo Dome. Shimizu would be the champion in what was a hyped rematch for the clash of styles. He would fall to the champion Kazuki in a very competitive match. Many saw this as the turning point for Marcus and expect him to win the BHC World or International Championship before the end of 2011.

After the Great Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 Marcus would pledge $10 million to the relief effort and would help spend time with the clean up effort as the NJWF (and other BHC Favored Promotions at the time) went on a few months break to help unify Japan and restore the country to good fortunes.

Mexico (December 2000 - March 2001)
In Mexico Marcus would often team with Kenji Metwaro in tag team and trio competition as the two toured the smaller promotions around Mexico. Marcus would develop the Planchas he uses today during this time period, while he did not pick up a number of victories he would develop some Lucha Libre skills that he incorporates into his offense at times with the afformentioned Planchas.

While in Mexico he suffered 8 falls while only earning a single one in his 25 matches.

Armageddon, BZWF, BLWF, NGWF, PGWF (April 2001 - May 2002)
In April 2001, Marcus was hired by Armageddon one of the major promotions after spending some time working on his Jujitsu, Taekwondo, and Kung Fu at the Takeshi Matsue Dragon Dojo for a month, he was signed to Armageddon. The Front Office of Armageddon wanted Marcus to go by the name Impact, he accepted the offer and was off to his first American promotion. Marcus' ego got the best of him, he did not use his Martial Arts background to his advantage and mostly stuck to the high flying he had picked up in Mexico. At the time Marcus only weighed between 210-215 pounds.

He did not stick long in Armageddon and mostly got his matches on the one hour B show that was shown late Saturday nights, meaning hardly anyone was watching. He also worked a number of Armageddon house shows, after being released from Armageddon he joined the BZWF and began taking Independent bookings as promoters wanted to cash in on his recent exposure in the national promotion of Armageddon. Marcus struggled to pick up victories in BZWF and with his high level Independent bookings against veterans with a lot more experience than he.

Despite the struggles, The EXtreme Wrestling Magazine dubbed he and Doug Foster as potential mega stars in the world of wrestling no matter the country they decided to compete in. This created a rivalry between the two that still exists today. Marcus would find his way to the regional NGWF, there he would capture his first ever Championship in wrestling the NGWF Television Championship, a belt he held onto until the companies financial crumble in October of 2001. After the close of NGWF, Marcus moved to the PGWF where he sustained his first injury when he suffered nerve damage in his shoulder after suffering an attack. He would stay injured from February to April of 2002.

When he returned from injury the PGWF had ceased operations and Marcus took a few Independent bookings. He caught the attention of a CWF scout and he was signed to the promotion in May 2002.

CWF (May 2002 - June 2007)
Marcus made quick waves in the CWF and went on to have great matches against Grant Ralton (only losing to Ralton on a few occassions during their rilvary), Nick Cage, Chase Williams, and a number of others. Despite dealing with politics backstage by Bryan Blaze who refused to ever face Marcus in the ring when Blaze was attempting to become the face of the company.

It was not until George Doyle, a technician would give Marcus fits during a match did Marcus seek out trainer Nate Wilcox who pushed Marcus to use his Jujitsu skills to help him become a good technician. When Marcus put it together he was able to defeat George Doyle and face the kindnappers of Athrodite Dollard who he was the guardian of (Athrodite has just started her wrestling career in Joshi Puroresu Organization after graduating early from Tokyo University).

Marcus would capture a number of titles in the CWF and made a good name for himself. During this time period Marcus had wanted a match with Devon Case and never had that opportunity. His best matches within the CWF were when he made Adam Mitchell submit to the Kubi Jippa, defeating Dante Madison for the CWF Heavyweight Championship, and defeating Vince Matthews for the CWF International Championship.

NJWF (July 2007 -)
Marcus returned to the NJWF to a huge welcome in July 2007, he began perfecting his skills and made a name for himself throughout Japan as he has battled the members of the Power Army in hopes of keeping the traditional Puroresu aspects apart of the NJWF as a member of the Foundation of Honor.

To this date his biggest achievement was on October 13, 2010 when he defeated Kazuki Shimizu for the 2010 Champions Cup.

SPW, ICWF, TSWF (January 2008 - August 2009)
Marcus would sign with the SPW in January 2008 and would stay for a few months until he had a huge falling out with then owner AJ Black and was given his release in May 2008, he was then approached by Patrick Shade who Marcus had defeated in the Sky's The Limit Tournament, ever since that match the two have had an extreme respect for each other that still exists today.

Marcus joined the ICWF and after multiple changes in power, quickly became fed up with the promotion and called his time in ICWF, "The most difficult time of his career." The ICWF claimed Marcus used steroids, but that rumor was quickly put to bed after a nasty legal letter from Davis' lawyers that was attached to copies of a number of drug tests.

Marcus was then signed for a brief time to the TSWF where he won the Tri-State Championship over Clyde Kennedy at his first appearance for the promotion. Marcus would battle his rival and Kennedy & Associates members Doug Foster, Real Extreme (Lance Williams & James Robinson), and Clyde Kenndy himself in the second ever Warriors Cry match. (Marcus also took place in the first that was held in SPW) His teammates were Foundation of Honor mate Kenji Metwaro, and the Perfectly Perfect Duo (Lance & Max Studd).

Marcus would force Doug Foster to take the "Cry" and miss the next two months of in-ring action. Marcus would win the match then controversy struck when Shadoe Rage cashed in a title shot in which was not good without prior notice as stated in Davis' contract. Rage would get the cheap victory, but while the Warriors Cry match made a great deal of money it was the TSWF's last show. Marcus would see to it that the Tri State Championship was returned to the rightful promoters in the area.

Break From Competing (May 2008 - December 2008)
During this time off Davis was highlighted in National Wrestling Illustrated"(also on the cover) talking about his career and training from May-November 2008 and how much change his body has gone through. In August 2008, he was chronicled in "HOT! Entertainment Weekly" as one of the most eligible bachelors in America, which made Davis a Pop culture star. He was on the cover of "The Smith Edition" in November that chronicled his DreamLine Company that he is co-owner of with his sister, Tammy Davis. There was even rumors at the end of the year that Marcus had been offered movie roles in Japan and America. He already is what one would claim to be a star in Japan, due to his public respect for the country and his NJWF affiliation.

He would only wrestle two matches in Japan during this time (not with the NJWF as there was a legal dispute between the NJWF Board of Directors, Foundation of Honor, and Power between May - July 2008). He has yet to star in a movie but famous Japanese action movie Director Michael Igarashi has been rumored to be talking to Davis about appearing in his next film, "Gaijin Samurai."

SPW (September 2009 -)
Marcus returned to the SPW after his hiatus from wrestling, since his return he defeated Castro Shaw for the SPW Fusion Championship on September 10, 2010. During this time period Marcus has victories over Spooky Doom, "Jester" Chad Allen (twice), "Heretic" Derek Weaver, Ali Amore, and James O'Connor. He is quickly breaking through the glass ceiling and becoming a viable threat to the SPW World Championship.

Wrestling Style
Marcus has a combination of styles, he mixes what is called the Seta Style (A technical mat approach that was devoloped in the 1960s by Puroresu legend Shin Seta), with elements of the Strong Style, strong influences of Taekwondo and Kung Fu, along with some Lucha Libe. His unique style has been dubbed, "Yume Senjutsu" which translates to Dream Wizardry.
