Miss Martian

**Miss Martian** (real name **M'gann M'orzz**,[1] alias **Megan Morse**[2]) is a Martian and a member of the Team. She is the niece and former protégé of the Martian Manhunter.

## Personality

When she first came to Earth, Miss Martian was a bubbly, exceptionally sweet, polite, and caring, although occasionally shy, "young" Martian girl, who longed to fit in on Earth and be a member of the Team. However, being from Mars and having never really interacted with humans before, she was frequently unfamiliar with Earth customs.[1] She felt especially uncomfortable with her telepathy, as on Mars, it is the prime form of communication.[12] She was also quite inexperienced, and eager to please.[13]

By 2016, she has become considerably more serious but still retains her caring side. She's become more experienced and adept at using her powers, and isn't afraid to use extreme measures to extract information, without showing remorse afterwards.[10] This changed after she did the procedure on Aqualad; still hating him for Artemis's murder, she used her mindblast on him, extracting all information from him. The discovery that he was undercover shocked her,[14] and made her reconsider her use of her powers. She became more timid, and reluctant to use even the most basic forms of telepathy.[15]

## Physical appearance

Miss Martian's true appearance is that of what most humans would consider a grotesque monster, with white skin, long limbs, and a hunchback.[16] However, as a shape-shifter, she can model her appearance to her desire, which is usually that of a green-skinned female humanoid with amber eyes and shoulder-length red hair, though after five years, she now keeps her hair at a shorter length, but it has since grown longer over the months. She also has freckles on her cheeks.

Her former primary outfit consists of a short-sleeved white top with a red X on it, along with blue skirt, cape, gloves, and ankle high boots. For covert work, she dons a long-sleeved black suit with the same red X, black shoes, and her blue cape; the overall style is similar to the clothing worn by the Martian Manhunter.[17] While at Superman's Fortress of Solitude, her suit remained in the same style, except white. After five years, her covert ops costume became her primary outfit.

In casual situations, she takes the appearance of a green skinned high school student, wearing a white or light pink T-shirt under a short-sleeved crop top sweater, skirt, knee-high socks with brown or dark blue shoes, and a headband to keep her hair back. The sweater, skirt, and headband are either red, purple, or blue. She can use her shape-shifting powers to switch from one outfit to another as needed.[1] When attending high school, she keeps her casual clothes on and merely changes her skin color to that of a Caucasian girl (her eyes, hair and freckles remain unchanged).[2] She now wears a yellow or purple long sleeved cardigan over a white top and dark jeans.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Martian physiology:**
	+ **Shape-shifting:** She can change her form on a cellular level,[71] completely altering her physical appearance, including her organic clothing, allowing her to mimic other people or animals[72] and other creatures.[58] At first, she found male forms more difficult,[1] but eventually mastered them.[61] Her power is not restricted to humanoid forms; in order to fight off Ivo's MONQIs, she grew several extra arms,[25] and to both survive and maneuver underwater, she grew gills and a mermaid tail.[34]
		- **Malleability:** She can stretch and bend her body [73] and limbs. (E.g. into large whips to grab things at great distance).[74]
		- **Healing:** Her shape-shifting allows her to heal faster than a human would.[75]
	+ **Camouflage:** She can change the appearance of her form (and her clothes) to bend the light waves around her to match with her surroundings,[76] making her almost—but not completely—invisible.[33][77] Her chances of staying undetected are diminished if she is moving.[76] Her Bio-Ship also has a camouflage mode that she can activate telepathically.[1]
	+ **Super strength:** Like all Martians, Miss Martian has strength above that of a typical human.[75]Martians can augment their strength by focusing their telekinesis in their body and use it in a tactile way.[78]
	+ **Durability:** Like all Martians M'gann's body is denser than a humans but not nearly as durable as a Kryptonian.[75] Martians are also immune to human diseases.[4]
	+ **Density shifting:** An advanced technique, density shifting enables Martians to move through solid objects or become incredibly dense and difficult to damage.[78] Though she did not originally have the ability,[1] she mastered it by 2016.[10]

* **Telepathy:** Telepathy comes naturally to Martians;[12] she can read minds,[1] mentally communicate with others,[9] and project her thoughts in other people's minds.[9] She initially struggled with other people's personal boundaries on Earth.[1] She often uses a telepathic link with her teammates, which makes communications easier and untraceable.[26] Megan can also telepathically connect with her Bio-Ship.[1] After a botched telepathic training simulation, J'onn revealed that in terms of raw power, her telepathy is on a level beyond any he has encountered, including himself.[42] Her psychic powers are stronger in her Martian form, because she can fully focus on them.[79]
	+ **Brain blast:** Miss Martian was able to project a powerful "Mental blast" than can hit the target mentally or leave it unconscious.[16]
	+ **Psychic illusion:** Miss Martian can project realistic illusions in other people's minds. She was able to project an illusion in J'onns minds to make him believe than he was burning.[16]
	+ **Mind control:** Megan can control the thoughts and actions of others. Miss Martian was able to implant words in Professor Ojo's mind before he could expose Superboy's cover.[3] She was also able to erase or restore and alter the memory of others,[33] reprogram other people's minds[19] and put others to sleep[60] or temporarily paralyze others.[65]
	+ **Mental detection:**Megan can feel and detect the mind of others, as when she detect Psimon's presence or when she felt Superboy's pain.[33][16]
	+ **Multilingualism:** Megan can speak Martian and English.[33] She can also translate languages psychically.[34]
	+ **Psychic shield:**Megan was able to generate "Mental shield" in her and other people's minds to prevent mental intrusions.[33]
* **Telekinesis:** Megan has used telekinesis to move and manipulate many objects with her mind. However, she can lose control when moving too many objects at once or not paying enough attention [32] Miss Martian has shown the ability to generate telekinetic shields[9][33] and shock-waves.[37][61]
	+ **Flight:** By telekinetically moving herself, she can simulate flight.[75]

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-hand combatant:** Like all of the original members of the Team, she received hand to hand training from Black Canary.[25] It came in useful during a fight with Cheshire while her powers were disabled by an inhibitor collar.[65]

## Equipment

* **Organic Clothing:** M'gann wears organic clothing that can change size, shape and colour in response to her mental commands.[1]

### Vehicles

* **Bio-Ship:** M'gann's personal techno-organic ship used by the Team for transportation. While on standby, it resembles a giant egg. Once a Martian initializes it with a mental command, the Bio-Ship instantly morphs. The interior and exterior can be reconfigured to accommodate the situation, such as providing seats for extra passengers. The ship can activate a camouflage mode and become practically invisible.[1]

## Weaknesses

* **Heat:** Miss Martian can be weakened when exposed to direct heat or fire.[36][41]
* **Inexperience:** In her first year, Megan lacked the experience to properly control her extremely potent telepathic powers. She nearly killed her teammates with a routine telepathic training exercise.[42]
* **Extreme pressure:** Miss Martian's physiology is susceptible to pressure. When she went to Atlantis, the underwater pressure caused her to shrink in size.[34]

## TMNT X Pokemon

MIss Martian usually disguise herself as a human in order to fit in without them knowing she's a martian. During missions, she works with Supergirl, April, and Goku.

## Background information

* In the comics, while Miss Martian did somewhat attempt to hide the fact that she was a White Martian from her fellow Teen Titans, she never made the claim of being the Martian Manhunter's niece. This was a plot point introduced solely for *Young Justice*.
* *Young Justice* marks Miss Martian's first animated appearance.
