It's even possible that Marcus himself broke Mercury's legs during a beating that got way too out of hand little before Cinder found them. And without legs, his son couldn't keep learning from him so he gave him the prosthetic legs. That's why he didn't expect Mercury to suddenly have an advantage over him that would lead to his death at the hands of his own son nor that his son would finally snap.
