What kind of powers and abilities does Mars have in Black Clover? Created by Yuki Tabata, Black Clover is a manga and anime series set in a world in which magic is commonplace. It follows the adventures of an orphan named Asta who lives in a land known as the Clover Kingdom and was born without any magical powers. Nevertheless, Asta dreams of becoming the Wizard King of Clover Kingdom – a prestigious title usually only given to those with magical prowess.

Luckily for Asta, he acquires anti-magic as a teenager which gives him the ability to nullify other magical forms. Consequently, he’s able to join the Black Bulls – a squad made up of magical knights who go on missions to protect the Clover Kingdom and its people from invasions. It’s while on one of these missions that Asta meets an initially villainous Black Clover character named Mars who hails from the rival, neighboring Diamond Kingdom and possesses immense powers.

Mars has quite a tragic backstory in Black Clover too. Like Asta, Mars is an orphan and though he was born with magical powers he was chosen to undergo experimentation conducted by the Diamond Kingdom to enhance its children's abilities. Part of the experiments involved embedding mage stones into the test subjects, which is why Mars has several gems implanted in his forehead and chest. They effectively transformed Mars into its ultimate weapon, but what powers and abilities did these experiments give him?

As a result of the experiments Mars went through in anime series Black Clover, his innate magical powers were enhanced considerably which gave him immense strength and extraordinary stamina in battle. His particular type of magic is known as “crystal magic” which allows him to generate crystal and manipulate it into pretty much any form. Using this magic, Mars has conjured everything from the protective crystal armor he wears while fighting his foes to an enormous crystal sword and multiple crystal-based clones of himself.

During the Diamond Kingdom’s experiments, Mars’ powers were patched with those of his friend and fellow test subject Fana, who possessed fire magic. Because of this, he can generate and manipulate fire the same way he does with crystal. He’s also able to wield crystal magic and fire magic at the same time and uses the latter to heal any injuries he sustains in battle. These powers and abilities combined make Mars one of Black Clover’s most powerful characters.
