It's a pornstar's name, let's be fair.

Marcus Fenix - always a weird spelling, and was even more "But... why?" back at launch - still managed to emerge as quite the awesome individual, mixing a do-rag with a chainsaw-mounted gun like nobody's business.

One of the absolute best moments of Gears of War 4 comes when Fenix goes on a huge rant about the opposition "messing up his f*cking tomatoes", proving the character continues to be as self-aware fun as his namesake.
