From a modern viewpoint, the 4th signifies in part the native's deepest roots and the most private place in the chart, as opposed to the 10th which is out in the world. If one's Mars in on the other's IC, it would seem to me that the Mars person would energize the native's most personal and deepest roots in the world. In a more concrete way, the 4th signifies the native's home life, so the Mars there could energize that arena of life for the native. There are other meanings of the 4th house as well that might be energized.
The effect would come from the person with Mars. The IC is not a body but a point, and so would not effect the Mars person, so there is no visa versa.
Additionally, the strength of Mars, both by essential and accidental dignity and by aspect with other bodies in either of the charts, would nuance this effect.
