Marc Faber
Marc Elijah Faber is a Meta-Human scientist working for the New Science Initiative in Sanctuary City. He is the head of the research initiative's Baryonic Particle Program. He is also the Meta-Human vigilante known as Nucleon.
Synopsis
Marc Faber is the lead physicist on the New Science Initiative's Baryonic Particle Program. As a world class physicist and mathematician, Marc currently oversees the project - even after the accident which nearly cost him his life. Dedicated to the pursuit of scientific progress, Marc has obsessed over the potential for harnessing subatomic particles and quantum effects - in an effort to introduce new methods of energy production and climate alteration on large scales.
After an experiment, he gained the ability to transform into Nucleon - a Quantum Energy being capable of extraordinary feats.
Powers & Abilities
Energy & Matter Manipulation
Marc has the ability to control both energy and matter to varying degrees - depending on his level of concentration.
Quantum Field Conduit
After the particle accelerator accident with the Quantum Field Generator, Marc became a Conduit of the "Quantum Force" - an extra-dimensional probability space of quantum structures and events.
The Quantum Force contains virtually limitless reserves of energy as an entirely separate dimension - filled with probability spaces and quantum uncertainties.
This is how Marc can turn into Nucleon.
Fusion
Marc can also temporarily fuse himself with other beings while in his Conduit state.
Temporary "Echoes" of the other being's powers and abilities remain in the Quantum Force - disappearing after a few days.
Notes
- Marc is the first character to tap into the Quantum Force - an aspect of the Structure IsoMatrix and its control over fundamental forces and energies in the multiverse.
- Marc is noted to be very absent minded outside of research work - being more focused on the pursuit of science than anything else.
- Even his partner, Lily, teases him for this - regularly.
- Marc doesn't keep in contact with his family outside of his mother. He naturally has a very strained relationship with his father given the circumstances.
- Marc has considered reaching out to the MRD for assistance with his new condition - though he's concerned about being turned into a potential weapon for the organization as well.
- Marc's favorite food is pasta with marinara sauce specifically.
- Marc hopes to one day become an accomplished physicist with countless academic papers.
- Marc believes that education is critical to personal development and growth as a person.
