- —Hercule Satan
Mark, also known as Hercule Satan,[Note 1] is a protagonist from the Dragon Ball series. He appeared in the 53rd episode of Death Battle, Hercule Satan VS Dan Hibiki, where he fought against Dan Hibiki from the Street Fighter series.
History
When Mark was young, he attended a fighting dojo called Satan Castle. Through a combination of considerable power and good luck (his rival fighting opponent would get food poisoning, for instance), he quickly became champion, naming himself "Mr. Satan" after the dojo he trained in. Despite his reputation, he vowed not to fight anyone crazy stronger than him after his martial arts master was killed by Mercenary Tao. He would eventually have a daughter named Videl, who would go on to date and eventually marry Goku's son Gohan (whom he stole credit from for defeating the Android Cell). Despite being clearly outclassed in speed and strength by the other Z-Fighters, Hercule is still regarded as one of the best in the world by a combination of skills, luck, and money, his reputation proving useful when helping Goku defeat Majin Buu, even befriending his nicer half. He was able to maintain his champion position for the most part and still managed to hold a strong following. In other words, he's the most famous fraud in the world.

Notes
- ↑ Mark's stage name is known as Mr. Satan in the original Japanese release of Dragon Ball, with the Funimation dub and English releases changing it entirely to Hercule for censorship reasons. While combining the two names together is typically uncommon, media such as the English release of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 uses the name Mr. Hercule Satan to refer to Mark.
