== Khorne is responsible for Captain Titus' resistance. ==
Consider:
* [[Catch Phrase|Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, so long as it flows]], think of how much Ork, human and daemon blood is spilled by this one Marine if he is not stopped.
* The ability to regain health through enemies' death is often demonstrated by Titus, who ends up covered in their blood as a result.
** The [[Bullet Time]] that allows him to kill much faster is called ''Fury'' mode for a reason.
* The [[Big Bad]] is a [[Sorcerous Overlord]], whose cowardly and/or sensible tactics of staying at a distance and holding enemies down with witchcraft is anathema [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|to Khorne's nature]].
* Resistance to magic is a well known trait of Khorne's chosen such as Bloodthirsters and Kharn the Betrayer.
As Khorne's (unknowing) Champion, Captain Titus is therefore granted resistance to Warp power, the ability to keep on fighting by killing foes in the bloodiest way possible, and is consistently tested for worthiness by Khorne's Bloodletters.
** Given that Khorne has a history of empowering the enemies of his servants when he thinks it will lead to greater bloodshed (the Fire Warrior novel, for instance), this theory has a great deal of weight.
 
== Captain Titus is a blank. ==
Line 39:
Quick bit of fluff: The Deathwatch are Space Marines hand-picked as the combat arm of the Ordo Xenos, an Inquisitional department. They operate in smaller teams with specialist wargear and sometimes xeno-adapted technology. They are literally Space Marine black ops. In short, Deathwatch are basically the equivalent of Force Recon Marines or Navy SEALs to the 'normal' Space Marines. They are [[Badass]] without a doubt.
 
At the end of the game {{spoiler|Titus was taken away by an Inquisitor, flanked by a pair of Black Templars,}} who are canonically known to source their Marines into the Deathwatch. Also note that {{spoiler|Titus was not disarmed when he was arrested}}, meaning that rather than {{spoiler|arrest}}, this was instead a {{spoiler|recruitment}} for the Captain, who had just ripped his way through an Ork WAAAAGH! and hails from a Chapter which specialized against fighting Tyranid, another alien species. Therefore, [[Warhammer 4000040,000: Space Marine]] is actually prologue to the real meat of the story, which is Captain Titus serving as a Deathwatch Marine, possibly leading a [[Badass Crew]], letting the story expand out to include the more flavorful Space Marine Chapters such as the Space Wolves or the Dark Angels (knowing the feud between the two Chapters, having both in his team will be... interesting to say the least). Gameplay will possibly take place in a Hive World, since we've already seen what a Forge World is like, and the tight, cramped quarters of most habitation areas are perfect for the close combat gameplay style, especially when combined with the known architecture of the more iconic Imperial Hive Worlds; high spires, perfect for Assault Pack combat, long boulevards for a Devastator to really unload his ammo and perhaps the highways for a vehicular section.

Line 57:
 
== Inquisitor Thrax is a Daemon ==
in [http://oi52.tinypic.com/8yzy3d.jpg this] piece of fluff from "Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness," way back from the early days of [[Warhammer 40 K,000]] in 1988, an Inquisitor named Thrax was investigating heresy within a Space Marine chapter [[And Then John Was a Zombie|when he became possessed]] by the demon living inside the Chapter Master's desk. Is this the same Inquisitor Thrax? Did that bit of fluff occur before this game? Is that even still canon? The world may never know. Or we'll find out in the sequel when he shows up as a boss. Only time will tell.
* Nope. [http://oi56.tinypic.com/f1hxrc.jpg THE FULL PAGE] of that piece of fluff shows that he didn't get possessed, just killed and eaten. Still, looks like Thrax may be doomed, but even then it would probably be after this game/any sequels he's relevant in
** The person getting eaten in the image is the scribe. The fluff heavily implies Thrax was possessed by a daemon.
Line 73:
** Most people hate Leandros. Glad some people still thinks he's good enough to atone. The optimism feels warm!
 
== Titus is the descendant of the [[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]] ==
 
* Impossible, Khorne doesn't procreate.
