In Mark the power and authority of Jesus as the eternal Son of God is highlighted in various ways. Mark shows Jesus as having authority:

as a teacher in 1:22

over unclean spirits in 1:27 and 3:19-30

sin in 2:1-12

the Sabbath in 2:27-28 and 3:1-6

nature in 4:35-41 and 6:45-52

disease in 5:21-34

death in 5:35-43

legalistic tradition in 7:1-13 and 14-20

the temple in 11:15-18

Mark has little of Jesus' teaching and thus centre's on His actions, which to Mark demonstrate His identity as the Son of God, with the authority He demonstrates in the various areas above a witness to this fact. This stress on authority partly of course in Mark's appeal to his Roman audience, as is the stress on action and activity to back up the divine identity.
