 "I'm confused! There, I admitted it. I know what side I'm supposed to be on. I owe my country my allegiance. But...it's hard murdering in cold blood. Even if they are Superhuman."

-Mark Anderson

Mark Anderson, is one of the most secret, best, and well endorsed agents/soldiers within A.S.T.I.A. Inspired by his father's death to join Mark impressed the top officials within the organization enough to join. He came under Commander Ross's tutelage not long after.

Early Life
Mark Anderson was originally a bright and atheletic kid. He was never interested in sports but he was interested in learning Martial Arts and boxing. By the time he was eighteen he was well trained in both. During his last year of high school at Capitis High he became a photographer for the yearbook commitee.

Fateful Night
Anderson had his first run in with superhumans, good and evil, only three months after the school year ended. He encountered Vigor and Scorch in the middle of the city on the way back home. The two superhumans were fighting and in the mist of the battle Anderson tried to snap a few photos. Vigor warned against Mark remaining present even as people fled. Mark became an easy and viable target as he was one of the last Humans present. Scorch attacked him and Vigor was barely able to stop Scorch from killing Anderson. Mark was finally able to escape after Vigor was able to hold off Scorch's flames.

Intiation and A.S.T.I.A. Life
Inspired to join after his father's death during the detonation Mark along with all the other possible recruits were put through an intense and real simulation with live superhumans where the objective was for the recruits to murder every superhuman present. This is where he would meet Samuel Ryan. During the simulation Mark proved key to winning over the superhumans but was attacked and almost died. Ryan intervened and saved Mark's life. This was the beginning of a long and strong friendship between the two.

Personality
Mark is perhaps the most conflicted character within the story. He has constant issues and doubts regarding whether or not he is doing the right thing by being apart of A.S.T.I.A. but at the same time he has a strong sense of patriotism and a false sense of anger directed at all superhumans for the death of his father.

Abilities/Skills
Mark intensely trained with A.S.T.I.A for several months in hand to hand combat as well as gun usage. Thus his senses are much more keen and he is much more skilled in fighting as well has shooting.

Appearance
Mark is 6"0 with a slim muscled build. He had messy dirty blonde hair but shaved it off in favor of a buzzcut once he joined the ranks of A.S.T.I.A.
