What's Up With Marcone?
Kindler:
Marcone has yet to demonstrate the one quality it is explicitly stated that Starborn have: the ability to wield power over Outsiders. For that matter, we haven't seen Elaine do it either—unless we start really stretching things, assume Aurora was infected as stated by Lily, and that the brambles and thorns Elaine held back was some kind of Outsider-powered thing (in fairness, it does kind of look like Aurora made something from nothing, but hey, it's the Nevernever; the rules for magic don't necessarily apply).
Aside from that, I third (or fourth or whatever) Mr. Death's statement that Marcone becoming super makes him less cool. Aside aside from that, Marcone would only take power if it came without strings; Marcone works for Marcone. If he picked up a mantle, for example, it'd come with obligation, and that's just not his style.
Rasins:
I'm listening to The Fellowship of the Ring and just realized that Tom Bombadill could have been a Star Born, if he wasn't one of the originals.
Talby16:
Just going to chime in and agree with some of the other posters. If Marcone is not a vanilla human he becomes less interesting/cool. I love the fact that Marcone (as a normal human being) has risen so high in the supernatural world with only his intelligence, discipline, and will (plus money and connections). Giving him supernatural power/lineage cheapens what he has accomplished IMO.

raidem:
I think marcone could have supernatural lineage but he chose to be vanilla mortal. He likely was a changeling/scion that gave up his other side to be a professional monster. He did in fact say he chose to be a professional monster. That can be taken one of two ways: free willed choice, or something akin to a changeling choosing their mortal half then going the monster route.
