Ma'alefa'ak

"*Ma'aleca'andra had a failed civilization, I put an end to their misery, and our enemies.*"
―Ma'alefa'ak to Martian Manhunter[src]
**Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz** was a Martian royalty and the brother of Martian Manhunter. He came to Earth after the death of the Martian civilization.

Having been stripped of his telepathic powers for mind-raping his childhood friend, he was shunned and ostracized by his community, along with his parents favoring his brother over him. Feeling alone, he had never felt remorse while witnessing hardships of his people. He eventually regained his telepathic abilities.

He was met with Lex Luthor and joined the Legion of Doom.

After exiling himself from everyone else, he is possibly the last of the Martians.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

**Martian Physiology**: Ma'alefa'ak has the same set of power as his brother.

* **Shape-Shifting**: Martians have psionic control of their physical for down to the molecular level. This allows them to a form of shape-shifting that allows them to mimic other forms, **elongate** aspects of their body, **increase or decrease** their physical size, and so on.
	+ **Size Alteration**: As an extension of their shape-shifting abilities martians can alter their size with ease, being able to shrink or grow to gigantic size.
* **Invisibility**: Martians can cause the biopolymers in their bodies to lose their ability to reflect light, making the Martians invisible to normal light and human sight.
* **Phasing**: Martians can go through solid matter.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Martians possess vast levels of superhuman strength and are among the few races that are able to match Kryptonians in terms of raw strength. Martians can easily shatter reinforced concrete and steel, lift and carry houndreds of tons with ease and deliver incredible damage with their blows.
* **Superhuman Stamina**
* **Superhuman Durability**: Martians possess high levels of durability that make them nigh-invulnerable to all forms of damage. Martians can withstand high caliber bullets, powerful energy blast and kinetic impacts without suffering damage.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Martians can process thoughts, move, and react at incredible speed, being able to cover vast distances in little or no time, catch bullets in mid flight, run on water and create afterimages as they run.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**
* **Regeneration**: Martians have powerful regenerative powers that enable them to regenerate their entire body from a severed limb, they can furtherly enhance their regenerative powers by drawing mass from nearby sources.
* **Flight**:
* **Extrasensory Input**:
* **Longevity**:
* **Super Hearing**:
* **Heat Vision**: Like Kryptonians, Green Martians are able to emit destructive heat vision from their eyes, albeit they aren't as powerful as Kryptonian heat vision.
* **Martian Vision**: Martian visual acuity greatly exceed human norms and allows for a wider range of information to be observed. This includes the following:
	+ **Infared Vision**:
	+ **X-Ray Vision**:
	+ **Electro-Magnetic Spectrum Vision**:
	+ **Telescopic Vision**:
	+ **Microscopic Vision**:
* **Telepathy**: Martians have the ability to read the minds of others and project their thoughts to varying degrees. They can also project their mental essences into a gestalt community known as the "Great Mind". Through this, the community can enhance the telepathic strength of other Martians. This power can also enable them to reverse the effects of amnesia or psychological brainwashing.
	+ **Illusions**:
	+ **Possession**:
	+ **Astral Projection**:
	+ **Mind Control**: As an extension of this, Martians can also use the ability to alter a psychological profile of a target, enabling them to manipulate, and in some cases, outright control that individual. This practice is greatly discouraged however, and only rarely used.
	+ **Telepathic Relay**:
	+ **Telepathic Assault**:
* **Telekinesis**: Martians have mind-over-matter abilities and can lift and move objects with their minds. They can also employ their telekinesis in offensive way by discharging telekinetic blasts capable of great concussive power.

### Weaknesses

* **Power Limitation**: Malefic has no telepathy unlike most other Martians, having had it stripped from him while on Mars.
* **Fire**: After his telepathic abilities were returned, his phobia of fire reinstated.
