Threatening Rush is a 1st-level fighter at-will attack power. It can be used in place of the melee basic attack during a charge and marks each enemy adjacent to you until the end of your next turn.
Threatening Rush was introduced in "Martial Power 2" by Richard Baker.
It is rated as an average power, as mass marking can be effective, but there is no contingency for a miss that's found with Dual strike, and there may not be means to enforce multiple marks. [Charop fighter] It is also does less damage than the basic attack.
Note that it is a terrible choice for Knights, as it interferes with Defender aura.
