Corporal Marcus Howard[2] is a character featured in Call of Duty: WWII.
Campaign[]
Howard is an engineer and radio operator from an African-American regiment who successfully captured Hill 493, also at the cost of many lives. As a reward, he is reassigned to Ronald "Red" Daniels squadron of the 1st Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge. When Red suggests calling in air support, Howard agrees and accompanies Red to find the field radio. Inside a small barn, Red helps Howard find the radio and protects him while he fixes it. Howard fights alongside Red and his squadron for the rest of the battle.
Months later, Howard once again fights alongside Red and his men to capture the bridge at Remagen. When the battle is over, Frank Aiello walks over to Howard to apologize for his racist comments towards Howard and Howard is last seen escorting a group of German prisoners, asking one curious soldier "What're you lookin' at, Fritz?"
Multiplayer[]
Howard also appears in the multiplayer mode of the game. He is a Major in the Headquarters and provide the players with daily, weekly and special orders that give the player rewards when completed.

Trivia[]
- Howard was originally named Cormack, most likely as a reference to the character of the same name in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, also portrayed by Russell Richardson.[3]
- In the Call of Duty: Vanguard mission Numa Numa Trail, Lewis Howard mentions he has a "brother fighting in Europe". This is a reference to Marcus Howard.
- Strangely, Howard says he "was an NCO" prior and gave up his stripes to be in a combat zone even though, as a corporal, he still is an NCO. He may be implying that he held a higher rank than Corporal.
