Martian Manhunter is the superhero alias of J'onn J'onzz, alternately known as the Manhunter from Mars, a fictional comic book superhero who was created by DC Comics.

J'onzz is a native of the planet Mars, also known as Ma'aleca'andra in his native tongue. (This is a nod to "Malacandra," the name used by the inhabitants of Mars in C. S. Lewis's novel Out of the Silent Planet. This is a much later addition and not part of the original version of the character.) As originally depicted, J'onn had the powers of intangibility, invisibility, telepathy and shape-shifting.

His usual public appearance is as a tall, hairless, green-skinned humanoid with a pronounced brow.

In some stories his weakness to fire is portrayed as a physical weakness, and in others it is a psychological weakness. The term humanoid refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human. ... For other uses, see Fire (disambiguation). ...

Fictional character biography

Origin

In his debut story, J'onn J'onzz is accidentally teleported to Earth by scientist Dr. Erdel, who immediately has a heart attack and dies, leaving the Martian stranded. He is able to use his powers to disguise his appearance, adopting the identity of police detective John Jones. Teleport redirects here. ... A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream. ...


He joins the police force, secretly using his powers to help the inhabitants of Earth. Later revisions of this story have him replacing a deceased police detective and locate these stories to the fictional city of Middleton, Colorado.


J'onn eventually reveals his existence to the world, after which he operates openly as a superhero and becomes a charter member of the Justice League.[2] He abandons the detective John Jones identity when Jones is ostensibly killed in action.[3] After this, J'onn spent the next several years involved in mystical adventures involving the Idol Head of Diabolu.[4] For the animated television series, see Justice League (TV series) or Justice League Unlimited. ...


He later takes the persona of Marco Xavier in order to infiltrate the international crime cartel known as VULTURE.[5] Orders Falconiformes (Fam. ...


Later comics retconned several new details into the origin story, such as the revelation that Mars was dead when J'onn was taken, killed by a mental plague deliberately started by his brother Ma'alefa'ak, and that, prior to becoming a superhero in his real form, he took the identity of the Bronze Wraith and fought crime with the Justice Experience, a group that was created to fill the gap between the eras of the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America).

J'onn J'onzz, trying (and failing) to relax in his true form and reflecting on his history with the League

Martian Manhunter's history is closely linked with that of the Justice League. He is a founding member of the team, and served as a member during many of its various incarnations. His absence occurs during the first period of the Satellite Years as well as with the League's most recent formation one year after the events of Infinite Crisis. His appearances with the League kept him in the public eye long after his own series (appearing in Detective Comics and House of Mystery) was cancelled.

In the Justice League International series, J'onn is shown to be obsessed with Oreo cookies, partially due to Captain Marvel's influence. The story of how he got over the addiction was told in his solo series (a retcon refers to them as "Chocos" to avoid a trademark infringement). Built in the 1987 company-wide crossover limited series, Legends, this new Justice League was given a less America-centric mandate than before, and was dubbed the Justice League International (or JLI for short). ...

In Justice League International, J'onzz reveals that his familiar appearance is not his true Martian form but a "compromise" between his true form and a human appearance. This concept is refined in his solo series, which explains that his real form is private and that, even on Mars, his "public" appearance was the familiar version. In addition to serving in the League under his own identity, he also joins (under duress) as "Bloodwynd". Bloodwynd is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. ...


Solo adventures

Martian Manhunter began as an ongoing series in 1998, written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Tom Mandrake (with fill-in art provided by Bryan Hitch among others). The series lasted 36 issues before being cancelled due to low sales. The series establishes that J'onn has a disturbed brother, Ma'alefa'ak, who uses his shapeshifting abilities to pose as J'onn, capturing and torturing Jemm, Son of Saturn, and terraforming part of Earth to resemble Mars. This is all part of a grand plan designed to convince the rest of the Justice League that J'onn has turned into a sociopath. However, J'onn is able to clear his name and defeat Ma'alefa'ak despite having most of his body destroyed in an exploding spaceship. (He is later able to regenerate his body from his severed hand.) John Ostrander is an American writer of comics. ...

The series also further established the history of both the Manhunter and the Saturnian race. The first issue revealed that there was a "real" human John Jones, a police detective who is murdered by corrupt colleagues, and that J'onn subsequently assumed his identity to complete an important court case.


Outside of this, the Manhunter appears predominantly in the Justice League comic book. He is the only character to be involved with every incarnation of the League, except for the version written by Brad Meltzer. From the late 1960s until the late 1970s, J'onn was absent from the JLA, having left Earth to find New Mars. This storyline is later retconned during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it is now assumed he was with the team at this time.[citation needed] For the animated television series, see Justice League (TV series) or Justice League Unlimited. ... Brad Meltzer (b. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Crisis on Infinite Earths was a 12-issue comic book limited series (identified as a 12-part maxi-series) and crossover event, produced by DC Comics in 1985 in order to simplify their fifty-year-old continuity. ...


J'onzz has two minor appearances in the Sandman series in the story "Passengers" in issue 5, in which the Dreamlord Morpheus inquires about the whereabouts of his Dreamstone. At this time, J'onn identifies him as an old God, and he sees Morpheus as a floating face, rather than the humanoid form others see him in. He also appears in issue 71 during "The Wake" story arc, conversing with Batman and Clark Kent about dreams. The Sandman was a comic book series written by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics for 75 issues from 1988 until 1996. ... Cover of The Sandman #1, by Dave McKean. ...


Grant Morrison establishes in the JLA series that Martian Manhunter is the most recognized hero in the Southern Hemisphere, and that he maintains a number of different secret identities, many of them outside the United States. However, following two incidents later in the series in which John Jones separates from Martian Manhunter, he decides to focus on his original human identity and retire the others. Grant Morrison (born January 31, 1960) is a Scottish comic book writer and artist. ...


Fernus

JLA #89: Fernus vs. Plastic Man
JLA #89: Fernus vs. Plastic Man

In issues of JLA written by Joe Kelly, J'onn attempts to conquer his fear of fire and makes a deal with a flame-wielding villainess named Scorch, who wants J'onzz' telepathic help in dealing with her own mental issues. The story reveals that 20,000 years before, an extremely dangerous race of beings, called "the Burning", caused large fires to help themselves to reproduce asexually. In order to prevent the Burning from destroying much of the universe, the Guardians of the Universe split the species into the Green Martians and the White Martians, changed their reproductive behavior and instilled in them a fear of fire. When J'onn confronts his fear of fire, he reverts back into one of the Burning and changes his name to Fernus. His genetic memory identifies threats such as Vandal Savage, who killed one of the Burning on ancient Earth. This same genetic memory also makes Fernus hate the Green Lantern, due to his association with the Oans.

The Justice League eventually defeats Fernus by re-enlisting Plastic Man, who is immune to Fernus' psychic powers and has superior shape-changing abilities. The story implies that Batman recruited Plastic Man to the Justice League as a balance in case the Martian Manhunter ever goes out of control. Meanwhile, mystic hero Manitou Raven takes two of his teammates into the Dreamwalk, a psychic plane on which they can reach the soul of J'onn J'onzz, imprisoned deep in Fernus' mind. Helping J'onn fight for his freedom against the mental might of the Burning Martian, they enable him to physically re-emerge when Fernus attempts to reproduce. The other Justice Leaguers then create a tsunami to submerge the two Martians, dousing Fernus' flames and giving J'onn the advantage. Plastic Man (Patrick Eel OBrian) is a fictional comic-book superhero originally published by Quality Comics and later acquired by DC Comics. ... Manitou Raven was a superhero from the fictional DC Universe. ...


After destroying Fernus, J'onn grieves for Scorch, who had fallen into a coma, and with whom he had fallen in love. In a later story, J'onn tells Superman that his aversion to fire has changed: he is now invulnerable to flames unless they are "flames of passion" or of some other "psychic significance." It was later revealed that Fernus was always an autonomous being with a distinct consciousness and genetic structure and powerset that emerged from J'onn's consciousness due to mastering his fire weakness. For other uses, see Coma (disambiguation). ... Superman is a fictional character and comic book superhero , originally created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian artist Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics. ...


Fernus' appearance is inspired by J'onzz's encounter with the Sandman, who appeared to the Manhunter in the form of Lord L'Zoril, the Martian God of Dreams, whose form was a gigantic, flaming skull. After J'onzz had helped him, the Endless Being gave him permission to dream of certain aspects of his lost planet. The Sandman is a comic book series written by Neil Gaiman. ...


Dream's aspect as L'zoril was in turn based on the appearance of H'ronmeer, the Martian god of Death and Fire (but also of Love and Art), who helped J'onn regain his true form and memories in the 1988 Martian Manhunter miniseries written by J.M. DeMatteis.

After Infinite Crisis, most of DC's series jumped ahead one year, having the weekly series 52 fill in the missing time. In 52 #24, it is revealed that J'onn has been undercover for half a year. His intentions are to to destroy Checkmate in order to avenge the death of Ted Kord. Manhunter feels guilt because Ted had attempted to warn the superhero community about Checkmate. He had been brushed off and had investigated on his own. To stop him, Maxwell Lord, whom J'onzz had thought was a friend, kills Blue Beetle.

The story is set during the year prior to the miniseries mentioned above. During Week 50 and the tie-in event World War III, J'onn J'onzz is the first to confront a rampaging Black Adam. He links directly to his mind and is filled of images from the dark side of humanity, forcing him to retire from the fight and rethink his relation with Earth people as a whole. During this process, he dispenses of several of his active aliases by revealing his true nature to the police detectives he used to work with.

DC Comics announced a new Martian Manhunter limited series that spun out of the DCU: Brave New World one-shot.[2] It is written by A.J. Lieberman with art from Al Barrionuevo and Bit. The mini-series focuses on J'onn's search for another possible survivor of Mars. The limited series is a term referring to a comic book series with a set finite number of issues. ... In the American comic book industry, the term one-shot is used to denote a pilot comic or a stand-alone story created to last as one issue. ...


The first issue re-introduces the Golden Age character Roh Kar, (now renamed Roh'Kar). Just as he and J'onn meet, a sniper shoots and kills him. As he dies, he tells J'onn that there are more of them elsewhere. J'onn tracks down and rescues the others, hiding them from government agents as well as the JLA. However, J'onn later learns that the rescued Green Martians are actually White Martians that have been hypnotized by a Green Martian named Cay'An. The series ends with only Till'All, J'onn and Cay'An left (the Martians Dal'en and Telok'telar are left in a coma). J'onn returns to the Justice League and takes Till'All with him, while Cay'An disappears to parts unknown after her bid to kill J'onn failed.


Following this, J'onn was recruited by Batman to be part of his new team of Outsiders. He appeared in the third issue of the "Outsiders: Five Of A Kind" series with Thunder, and joined the team afterwards.

Powers and abilities

Martian Manhunter has been described as "the Swiss Army knife of superheroes," possessing a variety of super-powers, many of them are similar to those of Superman, including superhuman strength, speed, durability, flight, and "Martian vision" (a power that includes both x-ray and heat vision). In various altercations with Superman, Martian Manhunter is usually able to hold his own against the Man of Steel, but ultimately loses the fight; however, he has fought Captain Marvel to a standstill.

J'onn is a very powerful telepath, capable of perceiving the thoughts of others as well as projecting his own thoughts. He often acts as a "switchboard" between other superheroes in order to coordinate the Justice League's actions. The Martian Manhunter has sometimes been said to possess 9 different senses, although these are poorly defined and generally ignored by most writers. Telepathy, from the Greek τῆλε, tele, remote; and πάθεια, patheia, to be effected by, describes the hypothetical transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses. ...


His primary ability is shapeshifting which he uses for various effects, such as adopting human appearance, elongating his limbs, growing to immense size, and assuming monstrous forms. Possibly as an aspect of his shape-shifting powers, he can also turn invisible (in most Silver Age stories none of his other powers function while he is invisible), and can alter his solidity so as to become either incredibly dense or (alternately) intangible. J'onn has also demonstrated great regenerative abilities, once able to regenerate himself from only his severed hand but with great strain (due to the loss of matter he found it necessary to incorporate new mass from Martian sand). For other uses, see Shapeshifting (disambiguation). ... Showcase #4 (September-October 1956), often thought the first appearance of the first Silver Age superhero, the Barry Allen Flash. ...


For most of his existence as a character, J'onn was depicted as having a deep-seated pyrophobia, with fire being the Martian's "Achilles heel", equivalent to Superman's weakness to kryptonite. Exposure to fire typically causes J'onn to lose his ability to maintain his physical form, 'melting' into a pool of writhing green plasma. Numerous explanations have been given for this over the years, usually portraying it as a racial trait of Martians. Most recently it was revealed, during the Trial By Fire storyline,[6] that this fear was instilled on a genetic level by the Guardians of the Universe 20,000 years ago, when they split the original "Burning" Martians into the Green Martians and White Martians. The Guardians instilled this fear because the psychic suffering of others, combined with the physical conditions of an inferno, allow the barbaric, ruthless, and brilliant "Burning" Martians to asexually reproduce. As a species the Burning Martians existed only "to cause suffering and burn and breed," but if they were too afraid to go near fire, they could not reproduce. At the end of the arc, this weakness was partially removed, with J'onn explaining that only fires of psychic significance were of harm to him, such as flames of suffering or passion.

Other versions

Alternate versions of J'onn have appeared in most Elseworlds featuring a Justice League, including JLA: The Nail; JLA: Act of God; the fantasy-themed League of Justice and JLA: Riddle of the Beast and the western Justice Riders.


Roh'Kar

In 1953, DC Comics published a story, written by Ed Hamilton, in which a green-skinned manhunter from Mars named Roh Kar arrives on Earth and captures an escaped Martian convict with the assistance of the Batman. This version has devices that allow him to disappear and teleport.[7]


In the 2006 Martian Manhunter miniseries, the Golden Age Manhunter from Mars returns as a Green Martian named Roh'Kar, who meets J'onn just prior to Roh'Kar's death.


Legion of Super-Heroes

In an issue of Legion of Super-Heroes, J'onn reappears in the 30th century as an acquaintance of Dream Girl and assists the Legion of Super-Heroes against Mordru. After Zero Hour, this continuity was erased. In the post-Zero Hour Legion stories, J'onn does not explicitly appear. However, it was hinted by the writing team that R.J. Brande, the financier of the Legion and President of the United Planets, was J'onn in disguise when Brande revealed he had telepathic training "from way back." This was during an attempt to restore the catatonic Shrinking Violet who had been host of the Emerald Eye of Ekron (Emerald Empress' weapon/ally).

DC One Million

In the timeline witnessed in DC One Million, J'onn is still alive, having become one with the planet Mars and now living in the dust of the planet itself. He appears to have grown weaker over time, speaking at a slower rate and apparently unable to leave Mars, but he remains active if need be, even telepathically communicating with the present-day Aquaman as the JLA launch the final attack on Solaris.

In the second issue of his ongoing series (numbered #1 Million as part of a company-wide time travel crossover), J'onn's lifestory is stretched many millennia hence. He lives under various cover identities until the 30th century, and briefly reveals himself to assist the Legion of Super-Heroes. Ten thousand years thereafter (most of which he spends in suspended animation), J'onn fights a long war against a world-destroying cosmic "Swarm" who threatened to obliterate humanity; and later still, leads resistance against the occupation of Mars by Darkseid the Destroyer. When Darkseid and J'onn finally face the judgment of the elder gods together, J'onn is allowed to restore his home planet to the way he remembered it by physically becoming part of Mars. His consciousness is dispersed throughout the planet, watching over its human inhabitants in the following ages and now, truly, immortal.

In The Dark Knight Strikes Again, the Question meets with J'onn in a bar. J'onn states that he lost his powers when his third kidney failed, although he notes that he still has occasional precognative flashes and has envisioned his death later that night. He also tells the Question that Lex Luthor has implanted microscopic nanomites in his brain, scrambling his brain functions.

JLA: Destiny

In JLA: Destiny, J'onn J'onnz arrived to Earth and took up the identity of Paul Kirk, the hero known as Manhunter, after the real Kirk had been killed in Australia, and joined Thomas Wayne's Justice League of Gotham. During his time on the team, J'onn/Kirk fell in love with Sandra Knight, a.k.a. Nightshade, and the two would wed. While in a mission in Nevada along with the Clock and Green Lantern Guy Gardner, the three met the alien Mongul. Mongul subdued Guy with an alien parasite called the Black Mercy, killed the Clock, and tried to kill J'onn with a neural disruptor. Instead of dying, J'onn's mind begins to spread and dissipate over the Earth, but he somehow manages to pull himself together and form a link with Sandra's mind. He starts feeding her visions of the future, and she believes that she gains a new power and changes her superhero identity to Destiny. But Sandra would become somewhat mentally unbalanced by this ability, although she did maintain a link with the Justice League and supplied them with information. J'onn J'onnz later calls her down to an army base in Nevada under his control, where he helps uncover that Mongul had been responsible for genetically altering crops in America to die, and later convinces Jor-El that he needs to battle Mongul. In his final moments with Sandra, J'onn tells her to forget about him and move on.

Justice League (live-action)

J'onn J'onzz appears in the 1997 live-action television pilot for the Justice League of America television series. He has difficulty shapeshifting, and no mention is made of any other powers, although he is said to have no difficulty describing extreme heat that would endanger a human due to the climate on his home planet, which would suggest that he is not from Mars. J'onzz is played by David Ogden Stiers. In film and video, live action refers to works that are acted out by human actors, as opposed to animation. ...

Justice League (animated series)

In the Justice League animated series, J'onzz' history is even more closely tied with that of the League. In the series, the Justice League originates as a temporary uniting of Earth's heroes against an alien invasion; the invaders had previously invaded Mars, wiping out all the inhabitants except J'onn J'onzz, who travels to Earth to warn of the invaders and join the fight against them. He is captured by the aliens, but manages to summon Batman and Superman to come to his aid, then, when the aliens pursue them, he also calls Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Hawkgirl to the battle as well, effectively forming the initial League.

When the invaders are defeated, he remains on Earth as a member of the League. His addiction to Choco/Oreo cookies is referenced in the episode Comfort & Joy where he pretended to be Santa Claus for a young girl, coming down a chimney and snatching one of the cookies so that she'll believe Santa had eaten them (and he clearly enjoyed eating it). The same episode also features a cameo by his former pet/partner from the comics, Zook, in the form of a cuddly toy. In Flashpoint, he identifies himself as "command authority 004" presumably placing him behind Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman in terms of seniority.

For the animated series, executive producer Bruce Timm revised and reduced J'onn's powers somewhat; his superstrength was downplayed (though he was still seen performing great feats of strength on occasion), his superspeed and Martian vision removed altogether, and emphasis was placed on his telepathy, shapeshifting and density alteration, specifically his ability to become intangible. J'onzz only increased his density sporadically on the series, usually noticeable by a glowing blue aura surrounding his body; he actually became diamond hard once in a single episode, (A Knight of Shadows). The history of Martians is revised somewhat; unlike the DC Universe, there are no White Martians native to Mars, but creatures vaguely similar to them appear from deep space and enslave the Martian civilization, absorbing their powers. The Martians are finally able to paralyze the invaders with a nerve gas, but J'onzz is the only survivor, and lies dormant until captured and imprisoned by Earth.

Smallville

John Jones Smallville

In the episode "Static" of the television series Smallville, Clark Kent faces a criminal from the Phantom Zone named Aldar who feeds off the bones of people. As Clark is overpowered and Aldar lifts Clark up into the air, an invisible figure passes his hand through the being's body and kills him. Noticing a half-eaten Oreo cookie on the ground, Clark walks to the end of a harbour, where a shadowy figure is standing. As Clark shouts to it, the figure opens his glowing red eyes and flies away into the sky, leaving a red stream of light closely behind. Later, Clark finds another half eaten Oreo on his barn floor.[3] These clues all hint to the character being a "J'onn" of sorts. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Phil Morris portrays John Jones in the Season 6 episode "Labyrinth".[8] Though his name is never given (He gives Clark the name John Jones in the deleted scenes on the season 6 DVD disc 4 episode 12. Also reveals his past as being from Mars and that he was sent to watch over Kal-El.), he relates to Clark that he is "from Mars" during an encounter with a being from the Phantom Zone that takes over Clark's mind and makes him think that he was never Kryptonian, he has no powers and has had schizophrenia for the past five years. John helps Clark escape from the phantom's illusion by explaining to him that he is not crazy and that as a Kryptonian, he has the power to overcome the phantom. When Clark recovers, Morris' character is standing over him, holding a red-gemmed device which appears to suck the incorporeal alien into it. His eyes then glow with a bright red light and he flies away into the stars in a reddish blur. While in Clark's mind, John demonstrates his characteristic fear of fire when two asylum guards are poking fun and ridiculing John. In the next episode, "Crimson", he does not appear, but is referred to for the first time as "Martian Manhunter" by Chloe Sullivan. Morris, also a comics fan, has in the past voiced Vandal Savage on the Justice League animated series.[9].

John was injured during his attempt to stop the last Phantom and had to leave before it could be stopped and to evade detection by Lex Luthor and several of his troops. Injured by the wraith, John sought out Kal-El and stopped him from hurting Lionel Luthor at LuthorCorp by explaining that Lionel was the Emissary of Jor-El. Further, John reveals that he had been an assistant to Jor-El years prior to the destruction of Krypton which resulted in Jor-El and many other Kryptonians' deaths and assisted with the development of the final wraith. He also explained that Jor-El had sent him to be a guardian for Clark until he began his training.
