Dude! Facing down Mal Duncan! Fierce. Not too bright, but fierce!

— Marvin White

Malcolm Duncan is a hero and ally of the Team. Though he doesn't possess the Metagene to have superpowers himself, he temporarily operated as the vigilante Guardian.

History

Mal was a sophomore at Happy Harbor High with his girlfriend Karen Beecher and his friend Marvin White. When Conner Kent and Megan Morse attended as freshmen, Conner grabbed Marvin by the collar after a skateboarding mishap. Mal called him out for it and Conner noticed him wearing a Superman T-Shirt.
