I believe I have a set of this somewhere. Pretty poor writing in this one, if I recall. The reveal about who the Marauder was pretty much was a sell-out.
**SPOILER***
It turned out that the Team America group were a bunch of mutants who collectively had the power to project all their individual skills all to one individual, who would then don the Marauder guise and drive the Marauder's "special" motorcycle. They initially had no idea they were doing this and had no control over who they were projecting their abilities to. They showed up in an issue of X-Men or New Mutants to train with Professor X in the use of their powers. Apparently their mutant powers were the result of Hydra tampering with the parents of each team member. I say it's a sell-out because it seemed to be the idea to make them mutants was just to capitalize on the popularity of the X-Men.

I quit reading long before that. With your summary I'd agree. The Marauder always seemed to be modeled after Racer X in that he was always waiting in the wings for a dramatic appearance. If they'd been more entwined into the Marvel Universe, I might have cared more. Making them mutants was not the way to do it.
