The Insurgent - The Cast

The Cast

The Insurgent
The Insurgent is viewed by the public and law enforcement as a group of vigilantes taking the mission of truth and justice into their own hands. In truth it is Marcus alone forever changed by an explosion.
Now Mark has several remarkable abilities:
Spontaneous cellular regeneration - He isn't bullet proof but he can heal almost immediately.

Pigmentation control - Able to alter his skin tone, hair, eye color and even create tattoos on a whim, he can vanish into a crowd almost instantly. Mark isn't a shape shifter so his sex, height, weight and body shape always stays the same. Luckily he carries a variety of clothing in a backpack.
Contact Telekinesis - Not having super strength this power means he can get quite close. He can cling onto an object like superglue or release it with almost bullet like force. Even though Barkley seems to have mastered this skill Marcus is still having trouble controlling it.

Bio luminescence - With focus Marcus can make his hands act like a flash bulb creating a single flash or series of short flashes of light to blind an opponent, or disorientate them.

These abilities are daylight dependent however and come sundown they switch off completely.

A telescopic single stick and smart watch are his only weapons.

Marcus Trent
Trent Technologies Former Founder

With renewed purpose, Mark now embraces his new life and responsibilities. He isn't a 24/7 superhero, instead relying on The Seers to notify him of missions only he can handle. In the meantime he has severed ties with Trent Technologies and lives as an inventor and app developer.

Bull
Barkley
Barkley is Mark's loyal pet dog. Due to exposure to the canister contents Barkley shares the same abilities as Mark. As a normal dog he sports jet black fur but in action as 'Bull' he sports white fur.


The Resonance
Information Collective
Initially a group of software hackers, known as Seers, The Resonance has grown into a collective of people from all walks of life that Mark has helped that are willing to offer their own talents in his missions.
