BACKGROUND:

This is Marcos' personal page on The Gifted's Wiki, but as the series 1 summary is incomplete, a full summary of all episodes is available here.

POWERS:

Marcos can absorb and manipulate photons. This gives him the power to manipulate heat and light energy, storing it in his body. This gives him increased physical strength. The photons appear to be stored in his blood, as when injured, his blood is shown to glow while inside his body. While he is actively bleeding, his blood will be bright and hot to the touch, like molten metal, and has been shown to burn through metal and glass. After glowing initially, it reverts to a normal red colour, implying that it only stores light while inside his body.

He is able to use the light he has absorbed in numerous ways. Most often he is shown converting it into lasers which shoot from his palms or fingertips, depending on how precise he wants to be. He can use them for both concussive blasts and as heat rays, allowing him to blast through concrete and cinder blocks, burn through metal and melt glass. He can control the level of heat that he exudes, and is also capable of emitting light without heat which he can use like a flashlight, or to light up other objects (such as when he shines it through broken glass to create a light show around Lorna). He is able to absorb light from both natural and synthetic sources. He can absorb all the light from an area, creating a space of complete darkness, though this is shown to be taxing to him and he cannot do it for long. He is also able to emit bright, blinding flashes of light. He can emit light at sufficient brightness to blind someone, even with their eyes shut.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:

• The clothes on his back (denim jacket, red henley, black jeans, boots)
  
• 1 burner cellphone
  
• Daemon: His daemon will resemble the necklace that Marcos wore as a member of Carmen's drug cartel; a pendant on a chain, carved with a talisman in the likeness of the Grim Reaper. Its name will be Muerted, 'Muerte' being the Spanish word for death.

SAMPLES: Xist TDM.

EXIT STRATEGY: Marcos' world is already at war, with mutants being hunted down by extremists who hate them. Their enemies have been represented by Sentinel Services, a government agency, and Trask Industries, a company which has created brainwashed mutant soldiers called Hounds to hunt down their fellow mutants. D.E.S.T.I.N.Y inserts itself into this setting, providing red-skinned, superpowered heroes to join the Hound programme. When a group of them attacks what's left of the Mutant Underground, Marcos attempts to escape by going through a portal created by his friend, Clarice. Instead of arriving safely with his friends, he finds himself alone on Xistentia's beach.
