About
Martian Manhunter, also known as J'onn J'onzz and John Jones, is a superhero from the planet Mars. His natural abilities include super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, flight, shape-shifting, intangibility and telepathy. J'onn's signature weaknesses is his vulnerability to fire. He has been a member of almost every incarnation of the Justice League of America. Although he holds great reverence for his homeworld, he has come to greatly respect his adopted world as well and protects it as his home.
David Harewood portrays J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter / Hank Henshaw in the CBS series Supergirl.
317 year old J'onzz, who has shape-shifting abilities, took on the likeness of the late Hank Henshaw, A former CIA agent and current head of the DEO, in order to reform the DEO from within as well as to watch over Alex and Kara Danvers.

I'm so glad there's a sub for my other favourite DC character!! I already joined the Superman one, but J'onn's my favourite as well. It sucks that he's lesser known, he's so great! I bought Injustice on PC just to play as him lmao
Do you have a favourite moment or story with him? From any of the comics, shows, movies, etc.
One that really sticks out to me is the Justice League episodes with Morgaine le Fey, where she manipulates him with visions of his family to steal i believe the Philosopher's Stone for her, saying she can bring them back...
His time in Smallville in the JL episode "Comfort and Joy" is definitely a favourite too.
I’ve been rewatching some of Justice League cartoons, and was think this question.
It doesn’t have to be exclusively the comics. Any media will do.
I know he had a wife, and child, but what else?
Which comics are good to start with and what should I read before them to clue me into all the events around the comics?
I don't think I've seen a lot of ones for J'onn (or any at all) so let's fix that shall we?
Do you think Miss Martian should've been given more of a role in Justice League vs. the Fatal Five? Despite being a new character introduced in the DC Animated Universe like Jessica Cruz and Starboy, she was hardly an important character in that film.
Martian Manhunter is a character that is, shockingly, underrated. Seriously, how long has it been since he had his own comic run? He has never had his own movie or TV show. I feel like that needs to be fixed and I feel that an animated series dedicated to J'onn could be a way to do that. What do you think? If DC made a Martian Manhunter animated series, would you watch it? If they did, how would you want the animation to look and what kind of show would you want it to be like?
Do you feel martian manhunter can beat the silver surfer? Or will the surfer pose a challenge that's too much for martian manhunter?
Considering how versatile martian manhunter's shapeshifting is, and how on death martians turn to green puddles, does martian manhunter have a skeleton? How do they maintain their shape?
Are martians more like amoeba of sorts?
I have this list:
Martian Manhunter The Epiphany Vol 1 Martian Manhunter The Red Rising Vol 2 Martian Manhunter American Secrets Martian Manhunter Son of Mars Vol 1 Martian Manhunter Rings of Saturn Vol 2 Martian Manhunter 18-36 John Ostrander Martian Manhunter 1-4 JM DeMatteis Martian Manhunter Showcase Vol 1 Martian Manhunter Showcase Vol 2
Years ago, I saw Martian Manhunter in the middle of a fight, transport his opponent to Mars. The opponent is confused as to how he got there and suddenly, Martian Manhunters had become the planet and the floor opens up but it’s MM’s mouth engulfing the foe. MM shapeshifted into the planet and ate him.
This might be from injustice or the animated justice league or a comic panel. Please help me find it. TIA
Am I the only one who thinks J'onn should get his own movie? Do you think it should be in animation or live action? I could go either way, but, a live action movie would be awesome. Who would you cast as J'onn?
