Information
Physical Attributes
Even with taking into account his fairly young age, Marc has an unremarkable physical profile. He carries himself with a short and stocky build, and has a history of only engaging in minimal exercise-- enough to get him through an average day. He seems to have a greater than average stamina-- despite his lack of fitness-- compared to others with similar habits, though this tends to be counteracted by the fact that he is somewhat clumsy.
Powers and Abilities
"Radio Voice" : In lieu of direct speech, any sounds Marc produces naturally occur as a projected form of electromagnetic radiation akin to radio waves. This allows him the potential to communicate over long distances through media that can pick up his vocal frequency. Due to the nature of his speech, his voice is often subject to interference (#).
Due to the effects of a mutagenic serum designed to amplify powers, Marc gained additional abilities.
Equipment and Other Paraphernalia
- Nanite Vocal Modulator System: This piece of advanced micro-technology-- originally gifted to the Constructor from another source-- seemed to be absorbed into Marc's body on the man's command, effectively serving as the vigilante's first gift to the budding young hero. The modulator network serves as means for Marc to communicate without the apparent need to project his voice to other receivers.
- Personal Broadcasting Apparatus: Consisting of a helmet with a built-in transceiver and interlocking chinguard, and speaker systems mounted on the collar and shoulder pads.
- Radar-Sensing Goggles: Allows Marc to percieve sounds as visual stimuli. Is a piece of wearable technology that also includes user-interface features.
- Boost Boots
Personality and Attitude
Associations
- Atomix
- Black Ice
- Faith: First met prior to her introduction to the team, during the "Alligators in the Sewer" incident, in which the young heroine attended to the addled hostages rescued by Marc, Oliver, and the alien Kl'vin.
- Kid Ballistic: Having figured out the nature of his powers upon meeting him, Sid cautiously let Marc borrow his Progeny communicator on the promise that he would come to retrieve it sooner rather than later.
- Kl'vin
- Strong Suit: Initially met in Westside as Marc was beginning to develop his abilities. Neither of them could have guessed they would end up on the same roster. Coincidentally, she seems to have powers similar to that of another man Marc counts as a current ally...
Blitzkrieg: Even with the experiences of meeting the members of his would-be superteam, Marc's encounter with army captain Jacob Raines ranks as one of his biggest influences in choosing to embrace his gifts. Marc treasures the military hero's autograph, which reads "Don't be afraid of being different".
Sabotage: A bionic-limbed hero initially encountered on the job as Marc attempted to track down a purse stolen by Cobra Lords.
Constructor: This mysterious benefactor turned out to be willing to provide Marc with what he needs to take his role as an upcoming hero seriously-- even going so far as offering to fashion him equipment made of metal derived from his signature Polarium alloy. Marc remains unaware of the man's (true) identity or the motives behind his generosity.
RP Prompts
- Is still very much "learning on the job".
- Untrained, his radio voice is unwieldy and might get picked up by established frequencies as interference.
Trivia
- As he gets used to his powers, he (unintentionally?) models his way of speaking after old-time radio announcers.
- Rescued a hamster during an investigation at the apartment of a crazed YouTuber conspiracy theorist.
