Paladin powers that "Mark"

Okay, I know that the Paladin has a specific marking ability that is Divine Challenge.

However, several of the paladin's attack powers also mark one or more foes.

Are those people marked with a normal ol' "-2 to anyone but me" mark, or a Paladin's divine challenge?

If that's true, do the new marks supersede the "you can only mark one foe at a time" general rule as well?

I don't think there is a "you can only mark one foe at a time" general rule.

Some powers and features (Divine Challenge, for one) only allow one foe at a time to be marked by that power or feature.

To the OP: Unless the power specifies an additional effect, marked is just -2 to hit on any attack that does not include the marking creature as a target.

No one marked foe rule as fara s I can tell.

Divine Challenge is an ability which marks and applies other factors, it is not a mark though.

Fighters mark all creatures which they attack, whether they hit or miss...

Paladins and Fighters are the two main "markers", with Warlock and Ranger being pseudo-markers...

The rule is, you can only have one mark on any given foe, not only one mark total.

What I'm wondering: given the paladin's specific requirements for his mark to remain active, how does he continue to engage and attack multiple foes? And how would that effect his ability to mark future targets?

The paladin has specific requirements for keeping his Divine Challenge active on it's target. If those other powers that allow a paladin to mark have requirements on what you must do for them, then those requirements would be listed in those specific powers. There is no such restriction in a mark itself, after all.
