IS the Son of Man always a passive being in Mark?

In my view the Son of Man is only the human(-oid) ethereal ''body'' or physical appearance of Jesus.
In this sense his role is always passive in Mark, but not in the episode of the Empty Tomb (where surprisingly it is the Son of Man who rises and awaits in Galilee and not the spritual Christ).
Is there some other episode where the Son of Man seems to work a more active role ?
Because if the your answer is yes, then the Son of Man would be a distinct (partially) independent entity from the spiritual Christ, and not entirely his mere passive recipient.
Someone has proposed that the Son of Man is per se a passive recipient, but becomes a kind of Superman insofar he is possessed by the spiritual Christ, and as such he is already actively independent from Christ just being possessed by him.
Please don't remember the role of the Son of Man in the previous sacred writings (it is well known). Limit yourself to only this assumption above.
Thanks in advance.
