Todd Marcus, nicknamed "The Shockster", is a Piston Cup racer in the Cars series. He is one of the racers for the No Stall team, along with Masterson.
History
Cars
In Cars, Todd is one of thirty-six Piston Cup racers that compete for the Piston Cup trophy in the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South. Marcus is performing decently up until Chick Hicks creates a large accident between all competitors besides himself, Lightning McQueen, and Strip Weathers. During the wreck, Todd spins out of control and bumps into Claude Scruggs, and the two find themselves roof-to-roof.
Though Marcus suffers some physical damage, he is still able to race, and returns to the fray after a pit stop, finishing the race in the middle of the pack.
The World of Cars Online
In The World of Cars Online, Todd could be found competing at the Tailgator Speedway, as one of the opposing racers, along with Lee Revkins and Johnny Blamer.
Cars: Fast as Lightning
In Cars: Fast as Lightning, Todd is the first unlockable playable character, made available once both tutorial races have been completed as Lightning McQueen. Marcus comes to Radiator Springs to race against McQueen, who he cites as one of his idols.
Marcus owns his own track called Todd's Track, where players can earn all of Chick Hicks' stickers by emerging victorious from races against Fillmore, Tow Mater, Flo, and Hicks. Todd's Pit is unlocked alongside him, which is where Marcus resides in the player's town.
Todd has two unlockable paint jobs, Rookie Green and Golden Champion, which can be unlocked by earning stickers in practices races at Todd's Track.
Other appearances
Marcus makes an appearance in the first Cars 3 teaser trailer, racing alongside McQueen, Jackson Storm, and many others at the Los Angeles International Speedway. Unlike previous appearances, he is depicted with a blue and red livery, with blue rims and a different, more modern number design.[1] It is currently unknown whether or not Marcus will appear in Cars 3.
