WHY IT COUNTERS MARS
Rage stops the initiation
Rage works like a Black King Bar and completely negates Mars' initiation if used in time.
Feast eats his health
Feast's damage and healing scale with max health, perfect against a high health strength hero like Mars.
Saves allies
Infest can save an ally from Mars' initiation with a quick burst of extra health.

WHY IT COUNTERS MARS
Too many illusions
Mars' spells are single target or directional and God's Rebuke is not enough, so he struggles to find the real Phantom Lancer among his illusions.
Keeps him reacting
Phantom Lancer can split push and force Mars to keep reacting instead of initiating freely.
