**J'onn J'onzz** is a principal character in Arrowverse and one of the main characters of *Supergirl*.

## Character History

J'onn J'onzz is the superhero known as the Martian Manhunter, the leader of the DEO, and a member of the Superfriends.

## Personality

### As Hank Henshaw

As Hank Henshaw, J'onn takes the persona of a cold-hearted and critical individual. He is fairly harsh with Kara when she first became Supergirl, and a cold boss towards Alex Danvers.

### As the Martian Manhunter

However, after Alex and Kara found out J'onn was the last surviving Green Martian, he became more helpful to Supergirl and her allies. Due to the loss of his family, J'onn felt alone on Earth due to being the only alien on Earth. He seems to empathize with Kara when she first came to Earth, even disguising himself as a woman who liked like her birth mother and telling her it would take time for her to adjust to life on Earth. During the mid-season finale of Season 1 of *Supergirl*, though Astra was killed by Alex, J'onn took theblame to spare the sisters' friendship from deterring. However, when they revealed the truth to Kara, she forgave them both. According to Winn Schott, his nickname for J'onn as "Papa Bear" is a reflection on how J'onn is a father figure towards the younger members of the Superfriends due to him being a father to two daughters.

He is considered one of the most powerful Martians on his world. J'onn is also the Paragon of Honor, due to his high sense of justice and honor. This makes him one of the seven purest individuals in the multiverse. He is also open to his allies, including Kara's friends Oliver Queen and Barry Allen

* J'onn worked with N'or Cott (Sentinel) on Mars in putting criminals away. His daughter figure, Alexandra Danvers would inherit the mantle of Sentinel after noticing interest.
* He was not to blame for his brother's imprisonment, but Malefic put half of the blame on him.
* J'onn came to Earth, but made himself scarce for centuries. However, he befriended a Shaolin monk and encountered Superman, who came to respect him and regard J'onn as the most powerful being on the universe.
* In 2006, J'onn was befriended by Jeremiah Danvers, who was the second human to show him kindness by saving J'onn's life when D.E.O. Director Hank Henshaw tried to kill him, with J'onn promising to watch over his daughters, Alex Danvers and Kara Danvers,
* During his time as Hank Henshaw, J'onn took over his former hunter as the leader of the DEO. He transformed it into the organization it was meant to be: protect the Earth from rogue or evil aliens.

#### *Supergirl*

* During his time as Hank Henshaw, J'onn took over his former hunter as the leader of the DEO. He transformed it into the organization it was meant to be: protect the Earth from rogue or evil aliens.
* J'onn is unnecessarily harsh to Kara for the first several episodes. He brings her down by refusing to let her hunt down Val-Yor, forced her to take useless tests by avoiding missiles, and made Alex fight her sister in a green-kryptonite powered cell only to maintain his cover and didn't mean anything by it.
* When Kara asks if J'onn has a family when her sister Alex was abducted, he remembers the wife and children he lost and painfully added "Yes."
* Saves Alex and Kara by stabbing Astra with synthetic green kryptonite blade and saved them, honoring his promise to Jeremiah he would protect his daughters. When he was in conversation with Alex, he finally called Kara "Supergirl."
* After revealing his true nature to the Alex, he tells her what happened with her father: he was killed defending him and that he "died" a hero.
* J'onn treats both Kara and Alex as if they are his own daughters. He walked Alex down the aisle during her wedding to Kelly (a role a father usually fills) and treats their shared adopted daughter like a grandchild and M'gann notices his frustration when the others are having difficulty saving Kara from The Phantom Zone as a father worrying for her.
* Despite his hatred of White Martians, J'onn fell in love with one: M'gann M'orzz. Initially she pretend it to be a Green Martian but revealed herself as a White Martian. He was cold towards her when he learns her true nature and refuses to help her when she is suffering from an aneurysm until Alex convinced him later. J'onn learned of her history through their mental link and ended up saving her.
* Before the Anti-Monitor crisis, The monitor released Malefic from the Phantom Zone to test J'onn J'onzz, who ended up passing. During the Crisis J'onn was chosen to be one of the Paragons, the Paragon of Honor, and one of the multiverse's seven most noblest heroes.
* Joined Superman, Supergirl, The Flash, Ryan Choi, and several other heroes in defeating the anti-monitor and saving the multiverse
* John was nearly killed by it Astra until Alex stepped in and killed her sister's aunt. In order to protect Kara and Alex's relationship with each other, J'onn willingly took the blame for Astra's death. However, him thinking it would be better if Kara hates him and not her sister. After seeing it tears Alex apart, the two reveal the truth to Kara. Kara forgives them both by hugging her sister and catching J'onn 's hand as she gives him acknowledgement for the lengths he went to preserve her sisterhood with Alex.
