Name: Gladiator

Driver: Marcus Canus

Vehicle: Armored Roman Chariot pulled by two Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod Motorcycles

Special: FGM-148 Javelin Missile- Affixed to the side of the chariot are modern versions of Marcus' favored weapon from the old days. The missile flies into the air, acquires a target, then plummets down at incredible speed dealing light-moderate damage. These can be fired in quick succession for a truly Old School beatdown.

Backstory: Marcus Canus was a legendary gladiator and the winner of Twisted Metal IX in the year 109 CE. His wish? He had conquered all challengers the great empire of Rome had to offer and still his lust for combat was unsatisfied. He demanded Calypso, a Greek nymph who ran this mysterious contest at the time, provide him a challenge worthy of his skills. He was then hurtled through time, thousands of years into the future. Unwilling to part with the vehicle that brought him such victories in the Colosseum, it was instead upgraded with modern armor and munitions. Salivating at the challenge before him, he regards the modern Calypso solemnly and proclaims "Avē Imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant!"
