Got this little idea for little 12 year old Mark.

I'd like to also mention, I seem to imagine a lot of Roy's old enemies as more science fictiony what with them using technology against magic.

So anyway during the arc in which Roy is kidnapped by Jack under Shadow's orders and Mark has to go to a dark dimension to rescue Roy, it turns out that it was a trap and Mark gets caught in it, said trap being to make him lose all his idealistic memories, mostly of his family and most of them tied to Roy in some way.

So one of these memories (as a side note, Layla is the main focus of this memory but not for this scenario) has one of Roy's enemies who is a man in a futuristic bug like suit that allows him to shrink and grow at will (like Antman :D). He attaches himself to Roy's daughter, in an attempt to attack Roy's family from the inside.

Mark notices the intruder due to his sixth sense, and basically he spends a good chunk of the moment fending off what looks like a bug. And at the same time Layla has brought her and Mark's friends over.

But regardless, Mark can't really get a good hit in on the bug man, and the bug man doesn't do much damage to Mark who is trained in defensive arts that aid him. And then Mark tells the man to pick on someone his own size, and the bug man grows into his real tall height and starts choking Mark, saying stuff about don't get too cocky, I can break your neck if I want to.

But then Mark just smiles as it turns out all he really did was trick the bug man into growing big and then Mark pokes the bug man's eyes, pins the bug man down, then starts bashing the bug man because at this point in time, Mark has no qualms about killing using the excuse of, "I can't control my strength."

So basically, 12 year old Mark ended up outsmarting one of Roy's old enemies.

But of course Mark fails to finish the job as Layla is coming upstairs with their friends and then Mark has to spend another good hour chasing after the bug man, ending in Mark using Layla's favorite teddy bear as a throwing weapon. And because Mark 'couldn't control his strength' ended up destroying a good chunk of the bear, and thus starts the actual purpose of the memory.
