## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Complete Forward**: Complete Forwards are strikers with great technical ability, clinical finishing, and physical strength, enabling them to fulfill multiple roles. They can link up with and play in others, fashion chances for themselves, finish off team moves and hold up the ball. These players are often best given the freedom to play as they wish, without rigid tactical instruction, as their versatility allows them to be fluid on the pitch.

A prolific goalscorer, and widely regarded as one of the physically best players in the Neo Egoist League, Marc has all the attributes of a complete center-forward. He uses his sizable frame to hold play up players very effectively. He has the pace and clever movement to run strait pass the defenders. Also, he has an abnormally hard skull, making his headers especially powerful.

### Skills

* **Superior Physicality**: One of Marc's strongest weapons is his exceptionally strong and sturdy body. His body's strength, speed, and flexibility are all on an extraordinarily high level, contending with the physically best in Blue Lock. This enables him to leverage his physicality against opposing players to create the space he needs, even managing to charge through a pile-up of players with the ball at his feet.
	+ **Shoulder Charge**: By using his immense strength and large frame he can easily block a player of from the ball, securing it and allowing him to link up with others. This was powerful enough to block Rensuke Kunigami, a player known for his physicality. During the Neo Egoist League, Marc improved his strength drastically to the point he could stop master strikers, albeit only briefly.
	+ **Vertical Jump**: Marc has incredible jumping ability which, compounded with his height, enable to him reach aerial balls from a higher position than most other players in Blue Lock. Marc has used his jumping ability to intercept long balls and score from long balls, making him an ideal target for a cross or as a center-back who physically overwhelms the opposing player.

* **Momentum Control**: Marc is capable of perfectly control his momentum, being able to explosively accelerate and decelerate at a moment notice. This makes it almost impossible for any attacker to shake him off, even if he falls for a faint he will be able to immediately recover.
	+ **Acceleration**: Using his powerful legs Marc is able to reach max speed very quickly. With his quick reactions and incredible acceleration, he can react to any movement his opponent makes and intercept them. Despite his large frame he is able to keep up with some of Blue Locks fastest players.
	+ **Deceleration**: Marc is able to completely stop his momentum even mid sprint. This in combination with his acceleration he can make extremely sharp turns when he runs, allowing him to easily navigate the field.
* **Iron Header**: When someone passes the ball to him or when he flings the ball into the air, Marc leans his head all the way back and then slams his forehead, which is said to be very durable, in the center of the ball, causing an impact sound that can be heard across the field. Kunigami described it to have almost as much power as a Power Shot.

* **Flow State**: Flow, as described by Ego, is the state of “total immersion” or “being in the zone”. It is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
	+ In this state, Marc is a lot more aggressive and hostile. While like this, he will usually take the ball and run strait towards the goal, knocking back anyone who tries to stop him without slowing down. This perfectly fits his moniker "The Raging Bull".
