The third member of the legenday White Wave of the late sixties and early seventies Gran Markus has passed away.His real name was Juan "Johny" ChavarrÃa Galicia.He became part of the legendary White Wave after one of it's members Solitario[who didn't wear a white mask,go figure] broke away from the group and became their bitter rival.The other two members Dr Wagner and Angel Blanco quickly enlisted Gran Markus into the fold.In an interview shortly after Dr Wagner's death Gran Markus claimed "Wagner was always the go-getter,getting us into the gym on time so we could train,Angel Blanco was the opposite,always looking to get out of having to go train."
Gran Markus became part of Mexico's beloved luchahero film genre in 1970 when he portrayed Medico Asesino in the film LOS CAMPEONES JUSTICIEROS.It was his first film role,the only other one being in SANTO Y BLUE DEMON vs DR FRANKENSTEIN where he plays himself in a ring sequence and gets jobbed out to the film's title heroes.
Marcus lost his mask to one of his bitter rivals Anibal in 1987.
