Green Martians

"*We Martians were a peaceful race, the thought of taking a life was abhorrent to us.*"
―Martian Manhunter[src]
**Green Martians** were one of the dominant species on the planet Mars. They are a race of intelligent green-skinned humanoids and possess the powers of primarily shape-shifting and telepathy. They were a peaceful species, even welcoming the likes of Darkseid.

Their species were wiped out by the White Martians and Ma'alefa'ak when Martian Manhunter was still on Earth.

The last two known Green Martians were J'onn J'onzz and Ma'alefa'ak. J'onn were killed during Darkseid's Second Invasion of Earth, which leaves the status of the species unknown as Ma'alefa'ak exiled himself from the rest of humanity.

## History

Intelligent life began to evolve on Mars 500 million years prior to human civilization.

### Meeting Darkseid

500 million years ago, ancient nomadic Green Martians were visited by Darkseid, there he conferred with the wise elders and told him about the Life Equation.

## Physiology

The Martian anatomy is outwardly humanoid, but there are clear distinctions between them and humans, such as green skin, bright red eyes and elongated heads in their true form. Inwardly, there are even more differences, with the Martians having many more great abilities than humans do.

* **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 further 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, they're quite formidable comparing to 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.
