Marks body is becoming more and more conditioned for excruciatingly hard impacts and sudden bursts of muscle tension. His muscles aren't destroyed by exercise, instead simply multiplying almost on the fly. This has the unfortunate side effect that on the cellular level, all his muscles aren't the same length, some stretched or coiled like a spring no matter his position- Luckily they stretch impossibly without breaking, and the expected pain is nearly unnoticed to Mark. In exchange, his twitch reflex is beyond measure- some section of muscles is always poised for instant action.
He can't turn on a dime, reverse, or stop unless he has something to hold onto or kick off of, but he is very good at landing. It's very much like he's just good at throwing himself and sticking (or well, surviving) the landing. Enacting the same process in reverse, throwing out his arms and taking the impact (or catching himself thanks to armored fist)
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location which is at most 125 feet away horizontally or 25 feet away vertically.
You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.
You may opt to trade your free movement for a Super Leap if you are jumping less than 50 feet or if you are closing a gap to an opponent and spend your Action on an attack.
You may activate this Effect while in free-fall, as long as your target Location is a surface on which you can land. You are immune to fall damage.

For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.
Your commands must be relatively simple and within the target’s intellectual grasp. You can make them endanger themselves or otherwise go against their self-preservation instincts. The effects of the command will fade after a day has passed.

Flicking his thumb on his middle finger, and pressing his thumb to something allows him to set it aflame, or hold a steady fire at the tip of his thumb, which he can extinguish by rubbing his thumb against his pointer finger. He can make this flame about as large as a flame of a lighter, and seems quite willing to use it for lighting anything around him, though he keeps his arm extended away from his head while doing so.
A large scar covers the right side of the gift barers face, and they seem to be missing an eye due to excessive burn damage. Before he figured out how to extinguish the flame after summoning it, he had accidently gone to rub his eye while it was still lit, burning his eye and lighting the beard he used to have on fire.
Spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire).
You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a torch's flame at your target. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.
Lighting a target on fire deals 2 Damage each Round on your turn, starting in the Round after the one in which they caught fire. This Damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any Damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.
You may extinguish flames as a Reaction. This does not extend to explosives.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
