Upgraded Original Hybrid

An **Upgraded Original Hybrid**, is a term used to describe the type of Hybrid that Marcus Hale became when Marcus died with Hopes blood in his system and came back after dying to Gaspar Cortez and completing the transition.

This is a branch of Original species similar to the Enhanced Original vampire, like Alaric Saltzman was formerly, which was superior to that of the Originals in very specific ways; being capable of fighting, defeating, and killing normal Originals. As an ''Upgraded version'' of an Original Hybrid, it possesses a bite that is thought to be capable of killing an Original as it secretes an extremely potent strain of Werewolf Venom because of it being from another werewolf species that is more dangerous then a normal Werewolf, with an altered predator face and more fangs. Unlike hybrids, an Upgraded Original Hybrid is another type of werewolf and an True alpha werewolf of that kind and it is way stronger then a normal hybrid.

## Creation

### 2016 (New Orleans)

The Upgraded Original Hybrid was created when Marcus was killed by Gaspar Cortez when Marcus tried to save Hope from Gasper but Marcus was not strong enough to win against a 400+ old vampire who is faster, stronger and better fighter due to been alive around 1600s and a warlord. Marcus lost his life and got his neck snapped but he has Hope Mikaelson blood in because he got heal by her the before and the wasn't out of his system and 24 hours after Klaus and Marcel had rescue Hope, Marcus woke up in the Mikaelson compound and was in transition and he drank Hopes blood and then became a Hybrid or so they thought but Marcus became so much more a new species because Marcus was a different Werewolf species then a normal hybrid and that he was a True alpha, he became an Original vampire and True alpha werewolf Hybrid but he is an upgrade of the originals and original Hybrid. Marcus became an Original Vampire because Hope is the daughter of Klaus the Original Hybrid and because all of dark magic in Hopes blood.

### 2016 (Japan)

Marcus' Vampire side became stronger when it was turned into a Original Preeminent Vampire when he was imbued with tremendous power by 200 witches to protect them from an Nogitsune and they knew that he would help them. At the moment Marcus is the strongest Vampire/Hybrid alive.

## Sireline

Marcus has a Sireline as the Originals has. If Marcus dies then every one in his sireline will follow him in for a 24 hours window but if he is brought back to life they will stay alive but it needs to be in for 24 hours after that it be too late and all the vampire that was in his line is dead for good. Everyone from his sireline has a sirebond like Hybrids has to Hope and Klaus.

## Powers and Abilities

Upgraded Original Hybrid possess roughly the same powers befitting an Original Hybrid, but with a few modifications due to the nature of the way it was created. After Marcus' vampire side got change to an Original Preeminent Vampire has since become stronger then any vampire alive.

* **Super Strength:** They are considerably stronger than Original vampires. Marcus was much stronger than Elijah when they fought. Marcus even proved to be much stronger than Klaus, the Original hybrid, during their confrontations but lost in the fight because of Marcus Lack of fighting skill. Similarly, Marcus is stronger then Marcel now after he became an Original Preeminent Vampire combine with his Werewolf side and True alpha status.
* **Super Speed:** They are also considerably much faster than most supernatural species seen thus far. They are the fastest known creatures as Marcus was able to dodge Klaus' attacks effortlessly and Marcus is faster then Marcel.
* **Super Agility:** They possess more superhuman agility, flexibility and dexterity than any other known supernatural species. They can move quickly, jump very high, climb and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** They have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed any other known supernatural species.
* **Super Durability:** They can take far more trauma than any other supernatural species. No Original vampire has ever been dismembered, decapitated, or had their heart removed, nor has anyone attempted this, implying that their durability may be close to invincibility.
* **Immortality:** They are immortal just like any Original vampire. Unlike their strength and resilience, Upgraded Original Hybrid is as eternal as The Upgraded Original Vampire and more immortal than an Original vampire.
* **Healing Factor:** They are able to heal much faster than any other known supernatural species.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** They experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are intensified for vampires allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows Upgraded Original Hybrid to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age.
* **Emotional Control:** They have a limited degree of control over their own emotions though it has been stated that this control fades over time.
* **Mind Compulsion:** They can control and influence the thoughts, emotions, behavior, actions and memories of humans, Werewolf's, non-Original vampires, and non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids.
* **Telepathy:** They have the ability to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them although, as they are more powerful than Original vampires, they have one of the strongest minds in the world. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the vampire requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** They can control dreams and subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the ability to distort perceptions of reality and being able to trap someone in their dreams.
	+ **Illusions:** They have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing or feeling things that aren't actually happening.
	+ **Self-Resurrection:** If no other ways to revive an Original Preeminent Vampire are found their bodies will turn to ash similarly to a phoenix and they will resurrect. Though this ability can only be used twice it is quite useful.

* **True Face:** Their true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When their true face is revealed, their irises turn Crimson red and it sclera becomes black, as dark veins appear under their eyes as blood is pumped forcefully through them; in addition, the dark veins under the Upgraded Original's eyes go down further on their face similar to an Augustine Vampire and the Upgraded Original vampire but a bit less. This is markedly different from the normal Original vampire's and non-Original vampire's true faces in the sense that Original vampires' and non-Original vampires' sclera turn red when the blood forcibly pushes into their eyes while their irises becomes black. In another notable divergence from other vampire species, Upgraded Original Hybrid possess six razor sharp fangs; four on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw, but it can get more but it depends on Marcus state of mind you worse his head is, those the more beast like can Marcus come to like and think like.

* **Advanced Werewolf Venom:** They are thought possess a bite that is deadly enough to even kill an Original vampire and consequently non-Original vampires. As in the case of Marcel Gerard, he posses a bite that can kill any vampire faster then normal so it is normal to think that Marcus Hale also has that. So if Marcus has bite like then he can do the same as Lucien were he bit her on the wrist Camille O'Connell, she survived longer then Joshua Rosza (who was stab in the heart with Marcels venom). but still died quicker than a bite typical of a normal werewolf bite. Klaus' blood, though it can alleviate some of the effects of the venom, such as hallucinations, cannot cure it as the venom that was used in the Immortality Spell was a new strain created from all seven werewolf bloodlines and was designed to have no known cure. Even the blood of an Upgraded Original could not cure the venom; this was evident with Camille. It is unknown how it would affect Klaus or any non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid as Klaus' and Hope's blood had no chance of curing it. Davina, however, attempted to use Marcel's venom by introducing it directly into Klaus' blood in an attempt to sacrifice him; this implies that even though he's a hybrid, Klaus is susceptible to its fatal effects. However, Freya was able to create an anti-venom by using the venom from all seven werewolf packs and Klaus' blood along with a spell, A upgraded original hybrid has a bite that has no known cure to it's venom.
* **Day Walking:** Due to his werewolf heritage, Marcus is immune to the lethal effects that UV rays and sunlight have on vampires thus allowing him to walk in daylight without the use of a daylight ring.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Marcus is capable of using his werewolf features to further supplement his powers. Marcus can grow werewolf claws and fangs even when he is still in his human form. Marcus can display both sets of vampire and werewolf fangs. His eyes also change into those of his werewolf form, presumably granting him better eyesight. Due to his werewolf heritage, Marcus' strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon and at its peak in his werewolf form.
* **Shapeshifting**/**Transformation Control:** Marcus has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will. Klaus informed Marcus that he turn into an actually wolf now, even when the sun was up or under the full moon. Marcus still possesses the ability to partially-shift into a lupine creature by transforming his body. In his Werewolf form, his brow becomes ridged, his ears become pointed, his sideburns grow into mutton chops, his irises originally glowed a golden yellow but are currently a crimson red, and his teeth and fingernails to extend into fangs and claws. He has also gained such advanced control over his transformation that he can selectively transform individual features as necessary, such as making his eyes glow to identify himself as an Alpha, or extending his claws to cut or tear something. While in a battle against a large team of assassins, Scott, for a brief moment, lost control and transformed into a more monstrous-looking Werewolf than he usually does, which fits with what is known about Werewolves; Alphas can shapeshift more than Betas or Omegas, and many can either transform into a full wolf or into a bestial lupine form.
* **Sire Bond:** Freya thinks that Marcus will be able to turn werewolf's in to hybrids and that will have sire bond like Klaus and Hope has with the werewolf's that they have turned in to Hybrids. Every Preeminent Vampire that Marcus create is sired to him.
* **Werewolf Bite Cure:** Marcus blood is a cure to a werewolf or a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom and Upgraded Original vampire, this ability seems to be unique only to Marcus.
* **Procreation:** Marcus is able to procreate due to being the Upgraded Original Hybrid — a born True Alpha werewolf, turned into a vampire by Hope — Nature's loophole.
* **Poisonous Skin**: If he chooses Marcus can make his skin poisonous due to him being a Preeminent Vampire. This toxin was designed so that Preeminent Vampires could get revenge if they died and it is fatal to most supernatural beings. The toxin spreads within 1-2 hours and it slowly eats away at your insides until you can no longer move. Then it completely rips you apart. Original Vampires and Upgraded Original Vampire are Very immune to this, though it just makes them weak.
* **Pain Absorption**: As a Werewolf, Marcus possessed the ability to take the pain of animals, humans, and other supernatural creatures through tactile contact. This is usually done by either holding hands with the pained individual or by touching the injured body part with their hand and drawing the pain into themselves, which manifests through darkened veins that begin in the fingers and work their way up the arm toward the chest. Marcus was shown using this ability on one occasion to take pain from a dog who was dying of cancer. *("Fury")***Animal Instincts**: Marcus, as a Werewolf, is an apex predator like his wolf counterpart, and as a result, he can think as wolves do and behave in the way that a wolf would in the wild. This allows him to assert dominance over weaker creatures such as dogs, cats, and deer, and can force them to calm down or run away if they are acting aggressively. This also aids Marcus in tracking others by tapping into his wolf hunting instincts.
* **Memory Manipulation Ritual**: As a Werewolf, Marcus has the ability to view the memories of another person by piercing the back of their neck with his claws and entering their mind. However, this process is typically only performed by Alphas, due to the amount of control and practice it takes to do it without causing paralysis or death to person whose mind they're entering. Scott has used his mind connection on three occasions. The first time he used his claws in the back of the neck of Corey Bryant, a Chimera, in order to search his memories to find the location of the Dread Doctors' laboratory so he could find and rescue Liam Dunbar and Hayden Romero. *("Ouroboros")* The second time, Marcus used the ritual on Meredith Walker to help find Lydia Martin and learn what he could do to save her. *("Lie Ability")* The last time he used this power, he performed the ritual on a young boy, Alex Turner, in hopes of finding out what happened to his parents, as they believed his memories had been repressed by the Ghost Riders. *("Memory Lost")* This ritual can also be used to modify or remove a person's memories, but Marcus has yet to learn to perform these aspects.

### **Alpha Powers**

Due to Marcus being a True Alpha Werewolf before becoming a Hybrid he still has his alpha powers and can still use them and create more werewolves.

* **Power Granting**: As an Alpha Werewolf, Marcus has the ability to transform humans into Beta-level werecreatures by biting them, though this process has a risk of killing the human if their bodies reject the bite. On rare occasions, Alphas have been known to accidentally turn a human by scratching them deeply with their claws, though this has yet to happen to Marcus. Marcus has given the bite on five occasions.
* **Alpha Roar**: As an Alpha Werewolf, Marcus has the ability to use his roar as an offensive weapon, either to scare away werecreatures of a lower rank or to force them in or out of their transformations and even to motivate members of his pack.
* **Healing Disruption**: As an Alpha Werewolf, the wounds Marcus inflicts on supernaturals with accelerated healing abilities take longer to heal than regular wounds.

## Weaknesses

Marcus possesses the weaknesses of a Original Hybrid but a bit less then Klaus and Marcel , as well as other weaknesses that are specific to Marcus himself.

* **Wolfsbane**: As a Werewolf, Marcus can be weakened or killed by exposure to wolfsbane, depending on the species and the method of exposure. Inhalation of purple wolfsbane has been shown to disable Marcus accelerated healing ability, and has been shown to provoke him terrible hallucinations. Nordic Blue Monkshood is fatal to Werewolves while Yellow Wolfsbane can weaken, sedate and even kill Werewolves as well, depending on the method of exposure and potency. The only known ways to cure wolfsbane poisoning of a Werewolf or other were-creature are burning out a wound caused by a wolfsbane-laced weapon or applying to the wound the ashes of the strain the Werewolf was exposed to. However, yellow wolfsbane poisoning can be treated by surgically slicing open the chest of the poisoned Werewolf and allowing the yellow wolfsbane gas to come out in the form of a cloud.
* **Letharia Vulpina**: As a canine were-creature, Marcus, like other Werewolves, Werecoyotes, and Kitsune, can be weakened by exposure to letharia vulpina, otherwise known as "wolf lichen" because of its toxic effects toward the canine species.
* **Full Moon**: Though being a were-creature is considered a gift in the supernatural world due to the increased speed, stamina, and healing that it provides, it also comes with a price, which is that the Werewolf, Werecoyote, or Werejaguar is beholden to the phases of the moon. During a full moon, werecreatures without training will become overcome with a rabid anger that will cause them to attack any living creature they come upon, which is why they all must learn control to avoid exposure and harm to innocent civilians. The full moon will make a Werewolf stronger, but it will also make them more rabid and chaotic, which makes them easily hunted by supernatural hunters. This has become less of a weakness for Marcus, now that he has learned to maintain his humanity during full moons, but under certain conditions, Marcus is still capable of losing control during this time.
* **Lunar Eclipse**: During the phase of a lunar eclipse where the moon is completely covered in the earth's umbral shadow, a Werewolf or other were-creature will lose all of their powers, including their super strength, accelerated healing, and shapeshifting abilities, making them vulnerable to anyone seeking to take advantaged of this weakness and harm or kill them.
* **Loud Noises**: As a Werewolf with heightened senses, Marcus is vulnerable to sounds at certain frequencies. For example, the Argent hunters are known for using ultrasonic emitters that produce an extremely high-pitched noise that only animals and people with supernaturally enhanced senses can hear. Conversely, there are also certain subsonic, low-pitched sounds that can be used against werecreatures as well, as a group of Deadpool assassins used in *Perishable*. Sounds at this low frequency can cause Scott and other werecreatures to become incredibly disoriented, woozy, nauseous, and unable to control their bodies, to the point that others have mistaken them for being drunk. In this state, they are unable to defend themselves due to the sounds making them weak and unable to stand, walk, talk, or see clearly.
* **Mountain Ash Barriers**: Werewolves, like the majority of supernatural species in the show, cannot cross barriers made of mountain ash. Though Scott has shown that he can break through smaller and less powerful barriers of mountain ash, thicker and stronger barriers are much more difficult, if not impossible, for him to overcome.
* **Broken Neck:** Breaking an Upgraded Original Hybrid neck will result in temporary death, though they will revive a short time later.
* **Desiccation:** Being completely drained of blood or the heart-stopping will cause an Upgraded Original Hybrid to desiccate due to their vampire side, losing most of their strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by magic.
* **Invitation:** Due to their vampire heritage, Upgraded Original Hybrids are unable to enter a home without an invitation.
* **Magic:** Upgraded Original Hybrids are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical and dark objects such as the Starling Necklace, Gilbert Device, Papa Tunde's Blade, Cursed Stake.
* **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause an Original werewolf-vampire hybrid pain and also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely within seconds. It seems physical trauma can hurt them anywhere on the body (i.e. eye gouging, drowning, etc).
* **Vervain:** Vervain prevents an Upgraded Original Hybrid from compelling anyone who takes it and burns them on touch. Original werewolf-vampire hybrids will heal very quickly from vervain wounds, however.

## Possibly Weaknesses

* **White Oak Stake:** The White Oak Stake was the only weapon on Earth that could permanently kill the originals. so it is thought that maybe it works on Marcus
* **Freya's Dagger:** A dagger that was made by Freya with the help of Keelin's expertise in medicine and biology. The dagger was made by using Freya's blood, Esther's magic, Marcel's venom, and the ashes of Lucien Castle. It holds the power to specifically kill an Upgraded Original vampire though has yet to be demonstrated. But they have no idea if it will work on Marcus.
* **The Eternal Tree** if there was to be made weapon out of it, then it can kill Marcus but sense Marcus has burned the tree it should not be possibly anymore but Marcus kept a piece of the tree so that he can kill himself if it ever comes to that.

## Former Weaknesses

* Gold oak tree: A Weapon made from the tree can kill Marcus.
