Martian Manhunter

**J'onn J'onzz** is a Green Martian from the planet Mars and one of the leading members of the Justice League. He is also the last surviving Green Martian, protecting the world under the alias **Martian Manhunter**.

## **Origins**

Born as a twin son alongside his brother Ma'alefa'ak, J'onn was the son of M'yrnn J’onzz and his wife Sha'sheen J’onzz. He followed in the footsteps of his mother and therefore became a manhunter, as well as a philosopher. One day however, Darkseid's Parademons arrived on Mars and J'onn's brother told them the concept of an anti-life equation to Darkseid, who found himself hell-bent on finding it. They raided the planet and captured several martians as a result, then it was several other martians that managed to force the gods back to Apokolips. It was after this that the Gods of New Genesis blamed them for the concept of the anti-life equation.

With that, J'onn took a solo mission to Apokolips where he was imprisoned after being betrayed, however he managed to escape with several other Martians. One such martian was a woman named My’ria’h who he fell in love with and married. As a result, the two had a daughter and then soon after, his wife's mind was invaded. He found that his own brother was responsible, who also killed his mother before fleeing for Venus. J'onn found himself confronting his brother, leading to his evil twin to release a lethal telepathic disease which killed off the Martian species, including J'onn's wife and child.

He soon found himself killing his brother in revenge, then traveling the Martian surface with his daughter's dead body in his arms before being transported to Earth in the 1950s. He obtained employment as a detective in the disguise of John Jones. Later, J'onn joined the Justice League and defended Earth against those who dare threaten it.

## **Characteristics**

### Physical Appearance

J'onn is a green martian male, standing at 6'7" tall and weighing in at 300 lbs. He typically has no hair on his head and red eyes.

The bottom half consist of pants and boots, also of this color and a cape which is smaller than what he previously had, which went long past his feet. As a shapeshifter, he can also take on the forms of many other species, including humans, to blend into his surroundings.

### Personality & Traits

J'onn is a man with a strong sense of justice, as he was also a lawman on his own world prior as well. He's a very kind and caring man as well, but also very wise, likely due to his advanced age. He also has a major sweet tooth, enjoying the taste of chocolate sandwich cookies in particular.
