Marko "Supermass" Savolainen (born 13 February 1973) is a Finnish professional heavy-weight IFBB bodybuilder.

Savolainen, who was born in Oulu, Finland, retired in 2003, but made a comeback in 2006. He weighed 120 kg or 270 lb in on-season shape, and boasted a pumped 24 in. arm. In the off season he weighed 310 lbs. at a height of 5 ft. 9 in. So far in his professional career, his best placing was in the 1997 IFBB Grand Prix Finland, resulting in 7th place. Marko also made a training DVD/video, titled Supermass--Return. In 2007, as a result of kidney failure, Marko left bodybuilding and started kickboxing. Marko is also engaged. In late November 2008, doctors said they had found him a kidney donor. He started bodybuilding again, saying he would be a natural bodybuilder, which means no use of anabolic steroids.
