- Coach Marks

Coach Marks is a minor character in Morrisberg's Marvelous Mainland. He is a gym teacher who works at Calm Mountain High School.

Biography
He is first seen in "Mean Teacher", where he has his students warm up by running laps outside. When he noticed that some students stopped to tie shoes, he says that although it's a warm up, people shouldn't take breaks unless they have a reason for it, and has them run a couple extra laps to his students' chagrin. Despite this, they start to do better despite their tiredness, especially Marvin. Marvin tells Marks that when gym class runs their laps successfully without fail, people should get some water to drink. He takes up Marvin's offer for consideration for the next time.

Personality
When personally angered by a student Coach Marks is shown to use his authority as a gym teacher to his advantage. In "Mean Teacher", he said to his students, "You can't always ask for a break when doing our beginning laps unless you have a reason for it!" This implies he was going to make them do extra laps during gym class, to get back at them for some students' stopping to tie their shoes in the middle of their beginning runs.

He appeared to see Marvin as a good student. In "Mean Teacher", he saw that while running the extra laps, Marvin didn't give up despite his contempt for running laps, and as they all ran back into the gym, he told him he did a good job. Later he took up Marvin's idea for water for the students after laps and after gym class for consideration.

Appearance
Coach Marks is a fair skinned, well-fit man. He wears a royal blue baseball cap, and has a navy blue yellow polo shirt. He wears red sweatpants, and sneakers not unlike his students' gym shoes. They are white, and have blue stripes where the laces are laced. He also wears a whistle around his neck.
