Mar

*"I would suggest you leave now. A warehouse full of drug dealers and Arsenic over here. Not a place for young ladies like yourself. Now run along, missus, before something bad happens."*
—Mar to Rebecca Ozelle
**Mar**, real name **Bradley Newman**, is a mysterious mercenary and butcher who works alongside Cogent for unknown goals.

## Biography

### Early Life

Outside of his name and his rare birth mutation, congenital analgesia (CIP), Bradley Newman's early life is unknown. It is presumed that at one point, he joined Doctor Stephen C. Goffee in an experimental program with the Metahuman Investigation Division of the United States' federal government.

### Immortal Butcher

At an unknown point in time, Bradley Newman took on the alias 'Mar' and began a new life as a cold-blooded serial killer and butcher, eventually joining forces with Cogent and Mirage.

Around December 2020, Mar interrupted a gang meeting on an abandoned warehouse in Neo Arcadia, where he had a hostile reunion with Arsenic that escalated into brutal conflict. Though he easily regenerated and shrugged off all incoming attacks, he inexplicably allowed Arsenic to flee the scene with her new acquaintance, Rebecca Ozelle.

Two more times he would make his appearance by Cogent's side around January and later February 2021, when he encountered and recruited Miles, a mysterious swordsman, to his cause, and later unsuccessfully attempted to do the same with Eden Gates.

On February 15th, 2021, he would make a far noisier appearance along with Mirage and Miles in an attempted hijacking of a disguised escort vehicle being driven by Erich, a covert CIA operative, escorting Mar's old acquaintance, Dr. Stephen C. Goffee. Though he gave a ferocious battle, the Rebels ultimately foiled his plans and he was forced to retreat with his colleagues.

## Powers

*"The subject has displayed a level of resilience that none other subjects have shown. Puncturing wounds are healed at an instant. Severed limbs are reconnected within seconds. Blunt trauma and internal injuries never last longer than the blink of an eye. What is most significant of all, however, is the subject's ability to recover from fatal injuries. Whereas this subject can survive decapitation and combustion, others would die from a simple gunshot to the head. The body seems to act all as a single entity, even when reduced to smithereens. It has sparked debate among our scientists, on whether or not there exists a metaphysical being inside the body. Truly fascinating. Requires further testing."*
—Stephen Goffee
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Mar has the ability to regenerate from any wound he suffers. His healing factor is so advanced, he has been able to reattach his own head after being beheaded and completely heal a shot through the head without showing any negative side effects. Mar's healing renders him impervious to drugs because his system regenerates before it can be saturated by them; he could only ever really feel the effects of magical drugs.
* **Pain Immunity:** Mar has shown multiple times to be completely unaffected by pain. Based off his behavior, this is an ability he has no control over and seeks to undo, as shown when he expressed his disappointment in not being hurt by Infinite Mythos's attacks in their bout.
* **Resurrection:** Mar can resurrect other people. He resurrected Cogent after the latter was shot in the head.
