Mars' Sole Survivor. The Alien Atlas. The heart and soul of the Justice League of America.Martian Manhunter is one of The DCU's odd men out. On the one hand, he's vastly powerful and a member of pretty much every version of the Justice League of America (most of the time), yet on the other, writers just don't seem to know what to do with him. His past has been retconned several times, his personality varies by writer, and since he has more powers than Superman, he suffers from occasional mind squicks, along with frequent bouts of Forgot About His Powers and Mind over Manners to keep him from resolving plots too quickly.He first appeared in Detective Comics #225 (November, 1955), created by Joe Samachson and Joe Certa. An alien teleported to Earth by a Freak Lab Accident, J'onn J'onzznote pronounced fairly close to "John Jones" — in Justice League, his first name seems to be halfway between the English "John" and the French "Jean", and in Young Justice (2010), it is pronounced Ja-Ahn decided to use his abilities to help protect the innocent who could not protect themselves. All of his incarnations have that much in common (well, the DC Animated Universe, Smallville and New 52 versions came to Earth on their own, but that's a minor detail).Comic-wise, J'onn's only had two short-lived ongoings over his existence: John Ostrander's 1998 series, which ran for 38 issues and two annuals, and Rob Williams's 2015 series, which ran for 12 issues. More commonly, Post-Crisis, he's had mini-series and one-shots: a 1988 mini by J.M. DeMatteis, a 1992 mini by Gerard Jones, a 1996 one-shot by Paul Kupperberg, a 2006 mini by A.J. Lieberman, and a one-shot crossover with Marvin the Martian in 2017 with two stories, one by Steve Orlando and Frank J. Barbiere, and one by Jim Fanning. In 2020, Steve Orlando came back for a 12-issue maxi series set nebulously on the outskirts of canon, reimagining J'onn's origin as a formerly corrupt cop on Mars before the plague.Factors that have varied greatly over the decades include whether he is actually the Last of His Kind, whether J'onn J'onzz is his real name, whether the green humanoid form he normally assumes in public is his true appearance, whether his memories of Mars are real or fake, and whether his Weaksauce Weakness to fire is psychological or physiological.His powers vary tremendously, even within a single incarnation. In his earliest proto-Silver Age appearances, he worked mainly with Psychic Powers (and writers kept coming up with newer and sillier applications as the Age got more Silvery — like mental ice cream creation and sonic finger-snapping). Since then he's mainly been treated as a Flying Brick with a few extras.J'onn was seemingly absent during the events of The Death of Superman, only for it to be revealed that he had taken on the identity of Bloodwynd, the newest member of the JLA at the time. The real Bloodwynd had been imprisoned in his own blood gem by Rott, the evil spirit dwelling in the gem, and when J'onn had tried to help free Bloodwynd, Rott had used his own power to brainwash J'onn into becoming Bloodwynd, and seek out a means to bring Rott back into the real world. When the League learned the truth, they helped to defeat Rott and free Bloodwynd, restoring J'onn to normal in the process.In his 1998 series, Ostrander revealed that J'onn largely functioned as the "Superman" of the Southern hemisphere, operating as its most recognizable hero,note J'onn is Superman-class powerful, but also figuratively & literally empathic, pan-cultural and used to changing to adapt to his surroundings; it's easy to see why people might relate to him more than "American Way" Supes as well as maintaining numerous assumed identities the world over, including being a regular cab driver for Clark Kent.Note that from 2008 to 2010, J'onn was dead, but now he's back. With pants!As part of the DC Comics New 52 relaunch, he became one of the central characters of Stormwatch and lost most of his friendliness, relationships to other DC characters, and love of Oreos. He left after issue 12, wiping his teammates' memories of him in the process, and went on to lead the 2013 Justice League of America. He got the love of biscuits back in the Williams series (it's hard to know how else to interpret having an entire persona obsessed with biscuits, to the point of calling himself Mister Biscuits), and his relationships to other characters came back from Dark Nights: Metal on. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_106f1a77 | comment |
A Form You Are Comfortable With: It's been established since the DeMatteis mini in the '80s that J'onn's familiar green skinned muscleman form is a compromise between a human form and his true natural form (which is gaunt, occasionally finned, and significantly less human looking.) The reason he doesn't go all the way with this trope is because he can more comfortably maintain this form for longer periods of time. | |

Psychic Radar: The Manhunter can use his telepathy to pinpoint the location of a desired individual, at some pretty fantastic ranges. Just as well, since he generally has to fly up into orbit in order to not get confused by all the ambient thinking. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: On paper, J'onn should be every bit as formidable as Superman or possibly even more dangerous, since he possesses roughly comparable super strength, has most of Superman's powers, and even several more unique superpowers of his own. And at one point, Superman himself stated he was afraid of facing J'onn and considered Martian Manhunter the most powerful being on Earth. However, in many stories where Superman is the main character, J'onn will almost, always lose badly to the Man of Steel's villains, including people like Doomsday, Preus, an Imperiex probe, or General Zod to emphasize how dangerous Superman's foes are. | |

Death by Origin Story | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_1aa76d29 | comment |
Death by Origin Story: He has what is arguably the most extreme example of this ever in Post-Crisis continuity. Most of his species, including his wife and daughter, spontaneously combusted after contracting a psychic plague engineered by his own brother. J'onn only survived by severing his own psychic connection to the rest of his people, meaning he had to watch his family die in front of him while he was mentally cut off from them. The worst thing is that he could have stopped all of this. He knew his brother was up to no good, but J'onn still had misplaced trust in him and underestimated the depths of his evil. The loss of his people and his family in particular are a huge part of his character, which might be why attempts to revive his race always turn out to be fakeouts. While there is another (evil) Green Martian out there, his family is still dead. | |

Stripperiffic | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_1eb49c19 | comment |
Stripperiffic: J'onn's own original costume is a little skimpy even by comic standards; not a lot of male heroes in DC had their legs and chests exposed to the extent J'onn did. Post-New 52 redesign, however, the quickly forgotten villainess Cay'an soundly won the title for "most skin exposed". Her costume was literally just two strips of thin fabric that joined over her crotch and some necklaces. Even by comic book standards, it was overdone.◊ | |

Ironic Echo: The Martian Manhunter: American Secrets mini-series, set in the 1950s, begins with J'onn describing himself and the dying man he has just met by saying "I was a Martian, he was a beatnik", and ends with J'onn thwarting the plans of the only other survivor of Mars (who wants to turn Earth into a new Mars) and proudly stating "He was a Martian, I was a beatnik".

The Dreaded | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: There's a reason why Despero scares everyone shitless: because he's an endlessly hateful, world-demolishingly-powerful juggernaut who usually requires multiple teams just to slow him down. Pitting a single team against him is likely to result in the death of everyone in it unless it contains some serious heavy hitters. J'onn himself could be seen as this for some people as well. At one point, Superman once stated that he can count on one hand the number of people he'd be scared to fight in open combat and that J'onn J'onzz was at the very top of that list. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: "Manhunter" is an older term for a detective, which was a key part of his persona as John Jones, Police Detective. His civilian identity gradually became diminished in importance and he became more of an inscrutable alien compared to the more humanistic League members, and to others would be referred to as either J'onn or The Martian more than his official name. In several adaptations he actually takes on completely different identity altogether, while the Manhunter term still sticks around. | |

Aliens Love Human Food: J'onn develops an addiction to Chocosnote DC's Bland-Name Product for Oreos some time after he visits Earth. At one point it got so bad that after being deprived of them he goes into withdrawal and throws a tantrum as a rampaging monster. Unlike most examples, this one is actually justified as Batman discovers Chocos produce a chemical reaction in Martians similar to addictive narcotics. | |

| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: In John Ostrander's run, it's never established just how long ago the Martian Apocalypse happened (J'onn apparently isn't sure himself), but the implication is that he was left wandering around a lifeless world, barely maintaining his sanity, for a very long time until Dr. Erdel's teleporter accidentally saved him. In Rob Williams's run, after being blasted to Earth following the Apocalypse, he spent over a million years wandering the planet. | |

G-Rated Drug | |

G-Rated Drug: J'onn was very fond of Oreos (later named Chocos, obviously due to copyright issues) during Giffen and DeMatteis' humorous run on Justice League International in The '80s. When Blue Beetle and Booster Gold hid these cookies (in a flashback written by John Ostrander), much rampage ensued. This becomes sad when a Choco cookie is placed by Batman on his coffin at the end of Final Crisis: Requiem. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Green vs. White Martians. And Red vs. White Saturnians, the Martians' bio-engineered sister species. Note that originally, this wasn't so much racism as nationalism, since Martians of both kinds can alter their color at will. Only in recent years have they been defined as separate species (and then again as one species split in two — It Makes Sense in Context, sort of.) | |

Adaptational Modesty | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_580be152 | comment |
Adaptational Modesty: One that is for more aesthetic reasons than strictly being scandalous, but his classic look involves briefs, a cape and what could be interpreted as suspenders in the red X crossing his chest. In an effort to modernize that look several adaptations give him a black or dark blue bodysuit with either the red X design on top of that or a red circular Chest Insignia. | |

Cowardly Lion | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_64070096 | comment |
Cowardly Lion: Commander Blanx. He's a Dirty Coward who prefers to let his men do the fighting, and has no problem bringing in an ally to sucker punch J'onn In the Back in what was supposed to be a man-to-man duel. He'd rather run than fight, and has a healthy respect for his own skin. All that being said though, when he's cornered he proves himself a perfectly capable combatant, nearly killing J'onn, and at one point, throwing down with Superman while on Earth. | |

The Syndicate: Vulture, a criminal conspiracy from the sixties, led by the enigmatic Mr. V. It had agents scattered throughout Europe, and regularly stole weapons technology, missile codes, and top-secret documents in addition to the standard gold, jewels, etc. The organization was broken up into cells, with each cell being led by one of Mr. V's Body Doubles. | |

An Alien Named "Bob" | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_856297f1 | comment |
An Alien Named "Bob": A common aspect of Martian names—or at least of those Martians connected to J'onn—is them having strangely spelled variants of common Earth names. Martian Manhunter's name is J'onn J'onzz, which just happens to be pronounced like "John Jones"note Though different adaptations make use of slightly altered pronunciations, such as pronouncing it like "Jah-on Jah-ohns" or adding a slight French-esque enunciation to the "J"s. His wife on Mars was M'yri'ah (Mariah), his daughter was K'hym (Kim), and his cousin Ms. Martian's name is M'gann M'orzz (Megan Morse). | |

Mind Rape | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_8a4988bb | comment |
Mind Rape: A major crime on Mars; Malefic is naturally guilty of it. Despero is also very fond of this, and has inflicted it on J'onn on numerous occasions. J'onn once forced this on himself. To be fair, the process forcing it was an attempt to force sanity into The Joker's skull. And it worked, if you can believe it. Only for a few seconds, but still. | |

Evil Counterpart Race: Green Martians like J'onn J'onnz are wise, peaceful, and obscenely powerful (with one exception: Omnicidal Maniac and Evil Cripple Malefic). White Martians have all the powers of their green cousins, but are monstrously evil (also with, to date, a single exception). No, the respective exceptions are not in any meaningful way counterparts. However, this depends on the incarnation; in some versions, the White Martians are simply subject to a prejudice. | |

Superpower Lottery | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_8fac4a3a | comment |
Superpower Lottery: Although the extent of his powers varies depending on the writer, J'onn is usually portrayed as one of the half dozen or so heroes considered more powerful than Post-Crisis Superman (Pre-Crisis Superman was even too much for him). The Flying Brick portion of his powers are roughly equal to Superman, plus there's all those other abilities he's got... many of which are of such a caliber they would put him in Superman's weight class even if one of them were his only power. | |

Apocalypse How: Pre-Crisis, Mars was fine... right up until 1969's "And So My World Ends", when Commander Blanx engineered a Class 6 Apocalypse by setting Mars on fire and leaving it a lifeless, barren husk. In Post-Crisis continuity, the planet suffered a Class 3, with Malefic's plague, H'ronmeer's Curse, wiping out every Green Martian but leaving the rest of the planet intact. In New 52 continuity, it suffered a Class 6 due to environmental collapse, a consequence of the Martians' insatiable greed at their planet's expense. | |

Monster Modesty: If he wanted to, he could easily shape-shift a nice suit to wear. Instead, he runs around in underwear and a cape. This was his policeman's (or "manhunter's") uniform on Mars. Since the Lieberman mini's redesign, he's at least started wearing pants. DC: The New Frontier, conversely, claims he based his look on that of Superman, as he wanted to appear friendly: hence, his outfit is basically the bare minimum of a superhero outfit (cape, boots, chest symbol, Underwear of Power) and nothing else. | |

Evil Counterpart: Commander Blanx, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths. Other evil Martians showed up, but none contrasted with J'onn quite the way that the utterly cold-blooded Blanx did.

| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Thanks to Mariner and Viking proving Mars to be barren in real life, J'onn wasn't around much in the early 80's, spending most of his time with the refugees who fled the disaster that destroyed his civilization. He came back during the Justice League's "Detroit" era, and he's been a prominent character ever since. | |

Mission Control | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_bebf0356 | comment |
Mission Control: One of his most essential roles in the Justice League. Thanks to his keen intellect, strategic mind and psychic powers, J'onn can serve as kind of switchboard operator, keeping the other members of the League in mental communication through him to coordinate strategies and maneuvers during battle. If any villain gets scared shitless because the League fights like a well-oiled machine, J'onn is the reason. He also often serves as dispatcher, choosing members of the League and transporting them to where they're needed as the situation demands (this was his main role in Justice League Unlimited). | |

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Fear of fire. Martians are actually less vulnerable to fire than humans, and because of their shapeshifting abilities, can recover very quickly from any injury that they survive. The problem with fire is that they are terrified of it, and just being near a lighter can render them helpless. J'onn J'onzz himself has been on earth for decades, and no longer has such an extreme reaction to it. The fear of fire is actually a psychic barrier the Guardians of the Universe put into the Green Martians to stop their psychotically powerful Burning Martian selves from taking over the universe. J'onn's is called Fernus, and he was capable of nearly killing the entire Justice League all on his own, with J'onn mystically chained inside his head. Alternatively, J'onn's fear of fire is caused by him having witnessed his entire family being burnt to death, and is therefore not a Weaksauce Weakness but a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is pointed out that this weakness is not physical at all when his version of Flashpoint - which is ostensibly the same as his mainstream one, except without the whole heroic path his life took - mentions that he used to be doused with fire by the Russian soldiers who kept him in captivity. This was so frequent that he eventually found out the fire didn't really cause him any harm, and when he did... Well, let's just say it didn't end well for the Ruskies. It seems to be both physical and mental with his Young Justice (2010) incarnation. In the course of one episode, J'onn phases through a fire arrow from Red Arrow, but he was still affected by it, and Miss Martian shut him down completely by showing him a vision of him surrounded by flames. It was seeing Bloodwynd caught in a fire during the fight with Doomsday that caused Blue Beetle Ted Kord to realize "Bloodwynd"'s true identity. His realization was cut off by Doomsday beating Ted into a coma. | |

Informed Attribute: A self-described example. J'onn has said it himself that he's as powerful as Superman but when the rubber hits the road and he actually faces off against some of Superman's villains like Mongul, Zod, Doomsday, Brainiac, etc., he'll typically get his ass handed to him pretty bad. | |

Heroic Willpower | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Post-Crisis, the Martians were wiped out by a psychic plague that caused the victim to shapeshift into a form that would spontaneously combust. The only way to save oneself was to avoid telepathic contact with anyone, an almost impossible feat for a race that maintained low-level esper contact constantly. J'onn survived because he was able to hold out the longest without telepathic contact, tragically leaving him as the last man standing. J'onn survived because he was literally the strongest-willed person on his planet. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Just one throwaway line◊, but it's to Sailor Moon of all things… Paving the way for Miss Martian later on. And what appears to be one to the Hulk in this. J'onn is addicted to Chocos, and Booster Gold and Blue Beetle hid them as a prank. This was a imaginary story, sadly. Martians call their planet Ma'aleca'andra, a reference to Malacandra, the Martians' name for their planet in C. S. Lewis' The Space Trilogy (though J'onn's name for Earth is Perelandra, which was Venus in The Space Trilogy; Earth was Thulcandra.) In 1952, David Starr, Space Ranger created John Jones, the colonial Martian farmhand who becomes a heroic sidekick, and Telepathic Spacemen ancient (native) Martians who moved beneath the surface of Mars once it became uninhabitable. Martian Manhunter was created in 1955, and the titular character is named J'onn J'onzz, (he would anglicize it to John Jones as an alias) in an allusion to the work by Paul French. | |

Race Lift: J'onn's most notable Secret Identity in the comics, John Jones, was a white man. However, after the casting of Carl Lumbly in Justice League and portrayed in Smallville by Phil Morris, it became tradition to have him be played by a black actor with his secret identity a black man too, whether it's John Jones or someone else. | |

Continuity Drift | |

Continuity Drift: In his first story, "The Strange Experiment of Doctor Erdel!", J'onn, masquerading as a human named John Jones, goes sightseeing around the world, comparing his observations to life on Mars. At one point, he mentions in passing a "Great Evolution", which eradicated crime on Mars for centuries. Later stories featured Martian criminals, though they were still treated as significant aberrations. | |

Last of His Kind | |
| Martian Manhunter (Comic Book) / int_e26f04b4 | comment |
Last of His Kind: More or less. In Real Life, after Mariner and Viking proved Mars to be a wasteland, DC had to explain how this had happened and what became of J'onn's people. The exact nature of the catastrophe and how many survived it has varied over the years. (That said, although the Green Martians are functionally extinct, the White Martians continue to survive.) Their bio-engineered progeny, the Saturnians living on Saturn's moons, are still around, although they don't take much interest in Earthling affairs. Jemm, Son of Saturn, is the most well-known. The sole exception to this since the Silver Age has been Young Justice (2010), where Mars is still inhabited and J'onn has numerous nieces and nephews. | |

Expy: Malefic to Commander Blanx. Both are Martian leaders with a link to J'onn who chose to wipe out 99% of their own species. They are very different in personality and motivations though, with Malefic being an Ax-Crazy Serial Killer and Mind Rapist, while Blanx is an utterly apathetic sociopath who did it for the money. One could argue that the current White Martians are, as a species, Expies of Blanx's Pole Dwellers. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Considering what J'onn endured, Post-Crisis — witnessing the horrible deaths of his entire race, including his wife and child, and then wandering completely alone through a wasteland, possibly for eons — it's a testament to J'onn's willpower that he's even still sane. Though he may feel like a Fish out of Water here and sometimes gets frustrated with us, he loves Earth and is enormously grateful to be among living people again. (In the Williams series, his sanity is rather more fragile, as he coped with the trauma of his origin by forgetting himself repeatedly during the million-odd years he's been on Earth.) | |
