The original idea was that Marcus was a hybrid, a cross between human and machine, the result of Project Angel he had volunteered for. Hybrids were created by human researchers in an attempt to physically improve the human race. In the movie, a transport can be seen flying away in the beginning, just before the Skynet base self-destructs, and Marcus wakes up with amnesia. In the original screenplay, it would be revealed that the transport contained other hybrids who escaped to safety, but Marcus was unfortunately left behind. He later finds a community of hybrids, and learns from Dr. Serena Kogan (also a hybrid) that when Judgment Day occurred, Skynet wiped out humanity because it believed mankind would destroy itself anyway; it spared the hybrids, reasoning they are the future and salvation of mankind (explaining the movie's title). Ironically, the hybridization process has actually robbed the hybrids of their humanity: they are cooperating with Skynet in eliminating the remainder of the humans, by routinely abducting human survivors and changing the suitable ones into hybrids. They also assist Skynet by developing other types of Terminators (such as the T-1000) and the Time Displacement technology. Marcus finally rejects the hybrids and joins the Resistance. This subplot was written out in subsequent screenplays, leaving Marcus' origin and purpose much more ambiguous.
