Mark (full name; Markus Allan Hoppus) was born in March 15, 1972 in California. He attended Burroughs High School in Ridgecrest, California. Mark's father's name is Tex, his mother's name's Carrie, and his younger sister's Anne (Anne Hoppus is currently dating Damon from Fenix TX. This info might be outdated at the time of speaking).
He is the bassist and vocalist of the group, and also the one appearing on-stage nude, at MTV's Castaway Countdown, during the band's performance of "What's my age again? ", and as if that wasn’t enough, he appeared on-stage nude, again, at KROQ's 1999 Weenie Roast. But these are not the only things he does on stage: at a show in Boston, he took an inflatable sheep, shoved a drum stick up it's ass, and tossed it into the crowd, but that's usual when being a Blink-182 member. He also hates playing any tours in Europe (or so he says). Despite all of that, Mark is an incredible song-writer: he wrote "Dammit" in just 5 minutes, about a break-up that never actually happened, "Going away to college" on Valentine's Day after watching "Can't hardly wait", and "Adam’s song" was inspired from a mail he received from a boy that commited suicide…
He has two tatoos: One on each wrist. The left hand one has "Skye" (his wife) written on it and "Jack" (his son) on the right one. He has an ear-ring on his left eye and a piercing in his nipple…His wife's name is Skye Everly (you can hear him say her name in "What’s my age again" in the "Mark ,Tom and Travis show"). Their son "Jack" was born on August 5th 2002. At every Blink show, Mark writes a diffrent message on his speaker with white duct tape. Anything goes from "Hi Mom!" to "I have no idea where I am". Once he even wrote a message to Skye after they had been fighting over who loved the other more which said "I love you More". Skye works at MTV doing various jobs…
Mark's hero of all time is none other than Homer J. Simpson. His favourite bands are "Jimmy Eat World", "Riverfenix" and the "Get Up Kids". His favourite movie is "Caddyshack", but he also thinks that Walt Disney’s movies are great. His nickname in the band is "Fish Guts". According to a statement during a 1997 'Loveline' episode, he claims to have above-average sized male genitalia. He actually resides in Carmel Mountain Ranch, California.
After the Blink-182 break-up, Mark and fellow Blink alumn Travis Barker have formed +44, an electro-tinged rock band. Mark is also the Spokesman for a Cable Television channel called Fuse, a channel for Rock music. (www.fuse.tv) As the spokesman, he does weekly podcasts and can be found on the website, www.himynameismark.com
