M'gann M'orzz

## Miss Martian

"*Young Justice, female dogs!*"
—Miss Martian

**M'gann M'orzz** aka **Miss Martian** is the niece of Martian Manhunter and a member of the Young Justice team.

## Physical appearance

Miss Martian commonly takes the appearance of a green-skinned female humanoid with amber eyes and shoulder-length red hair. Her costume consists of a short-sleeved white top with a red X on it, along with a 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.

## History

### Founding Young Justice

When Batman officially formed the Young Justice team and set them up at Mount Justice, the others were introduced to Miss Martian, who thus became a founding member of the new group.

### Preparation H

At Mount Justice, M'gann began to bond with the rest of the Young Justice team: Tim Drake, Wally West, Kaldur'ahm, and Superboy, who she started to develop an attraction for. M'gann continued to have a loving relationship with her uncle Martian Manhunter. Black Canary was assigned to train the young heroes, Red Tornado was assigned to work as their janitor, and Batman decided to serve as their commander. For their first assignment, the Dark Knight announced that he would send the team to Santa Prisca, a small island north of Venezuela and South America that was the site of the largest production of venom in the world, a strength-enhancing chemical used by one of Batman's rogues: Bane. It was being imported into Gotham City for Black Mask, but someone new had been muscling in on Bane's turf and was trying to take over the operation. Batman wanted the Young Justice team to go to the island and stealthily assess the situation. He told them they'd have exactly one hour to complete their mission before the Justice League used the Watchtower's fusion cannon to blow up the island, destroying the venom operation. Batman announced that the mission would be called Preparation H, much to the amusement of the teens.

M'gann introduced the team to her alien spacecraft: Chico. They used it to fly towards Santa Prisca, heading out on their mission. M'gann demonstrated her shapeshifting abilities, impressing her teammates. As they neared the Caribbean, Kaldur announced that they must all get naked and change into their costumes. M'gann activated the ship's invisibility, much to Wally's dismay.

With the mission underway and a mere hour to complete their assignment, the Young Justice team arrived at Santa Prisca to gather intel. Chico dropped Miss Martian, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Superboy down into the jungle, with all five connected through a telepathic link. Despite Batman's clear instructions to keep their operations covert, Kid Flash ended up in the middle of a fight between Bane's men and the attackers trying to take over the venom operation. The heroes discovered that the new player was Kobra, the leader of a terrorist cult.

Since it was their first mission, the heroes had some trouble working together and agreeing on who should lead them, causing their work to be sloppy at times. The venom in the hands of the Cult of the Kobra would have been disastrous for the world, so the heroes decided to shut down the operation themselves and impress Batman. Bane, who they had captured during the scuffle with Kobra's men, offered to help them dispel the attackers from his island. Needing his knowledge of the terrain, the team begrudgingly accepted. However, the terrorist ignored their stealthy approach and attacked Kobra's men head-on. Even after they managed to escape the villains, the team winded up double-crossed by Bane, who threatened to bury them under rubble with explosives. He announced his intention to build a weed empire from the Caribbean to Gotham. While he monologued, Kid Flash stole his detonator, and Superboy knocked the villain out. With little time left, the Young Justice team managed to stop the Cult of the Kobra's escape with the venom, but Kobra himself got away. However, they forgot to inform the League of their victory in time and the Watchtower cannon destroyed the factory along with all the evidence.

Back at Mount Justice, Batman reprimanded the teens for blowing their cover and failing to save the factory. Still, he ultimately called it a win as they stopped the Cult of the Kobra from getting their hands on the venom.

### The Amazo Incident

Having developed an attraction for Superboy, M'gann began to lust after him, making unsubtle advances.

Batman assigned the Young Justice team to escort two sets of armored delivery trucks. Miss Martian, Kid Flash, and Aqualad were to protect a set of decoy trucks while Robin and Superboy were to protect the real convoy. The actual vehicles were transporting the mechanical body parts of Amazo, a powerful android with the ability to copy the powers of superheroes. In the midst of their escort, both convoys were attacked by robotic monkeys. The robots managed to get away with Amazo's parts, heading for Gotham City. Robin contacted his adoptive brother Nightwing, asking him to go help Batman.

The team then went up against Clayface but were defeated. If not for Batman's intervention, the villain would have escaped. The Dark Knight was not pleased with the team since he had to clean up two of their messes in one day.

### Enter Megan Morse

Batman called Black Canary, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, and Martian Manhunter to Mount Justice to show them footage of a training session between Canary and Superboy. After they were finished sparring, the footage showed the two kissing. This upset Arrow, but the Black Canary in the footage was revealed to be Miss Martian, taking on Canary's appearance. Dinah went to reprimand the young Martian, smacking her. M'gann told Canary that she'd just been trying to win over Superboy's affections, and thought turning into Dinah would help her do so. The Blonde Bombshell warned Miss Martian "not to pull that shit again" and left.

M'gann and Superboy began their first day of school. Needing normal identities, M'gann took on the name of Megan Morse while Superboy took on the name of Sasha, a manly identity in Russia. They caused a bit of a ruckus in the schoolyard, and M'gann was invited to join the Bumblebees cheerleading team by classmate Wendy Harris. M'gann passed her cheerleading initiation and joined the team. She warned her new friends that Superboy was hers when they asked if he was single. When they got back home, M'gann came onto Superboy... literally.

### Dr. Roquette

The next day, a new recruit joined Young Justice in the form of Artemis. Red Arrow arrived at the cave and was angered to find that Green Arrow had replaced him so quickly. Moving past that, he revealed that the League of Shadows was after Serling Roquette, their weapons manufacturer. Red Arrow offered the team the gig.

At Happy Harbor High School, the team protected Roquette while she shut down the work she did for the League of Shadows. Cheshire, an accomplished assassin, arrived to take out Roquette. The killer incapacitated Kid Flash and tried to murder her target, fighting Aqualad and Artemis, while Miss Martian went to save Kid Flash. The heroes managed to fight off the assassin and caused her to retreat.

During a therapy session with Black Canary, M'gann explained her obsession with the show *Hello Megan!* Even though it was an outdated sitcom with negative female stereotypes, she wanted to emulate some of the happiness Megan felt on the show that was missing in her own life.

### Rescuing Captain Marvel

Black Adam took Captain Marvel captive and gave him to the Brain for experimentation. The Young Justice team went in to rescue the hero, battling genetically-enhanced animals. In the end, the Brain managed to escape, but Marvel was rescued. Aqualad decided to take the whole team out for pizza to cheer up Tim, who had just lost his brother Jason.

### The Hunt for Kent Nelson

One year later, M'gann and the Young Justice team were waiting around at Mount Justice, hungry for action. Red Tornado assigned them the mission of tracking down Kent Nelson, once the hero Doctor Fate. The team visited the Tower of Fate to look for Nelson, but Wally's skepticism of magic caused them to run into some trouble. M'gann finally denied Wally's affection for her, confirming her attraction to Superboy. Klarion entered the Tower, revealing him as the captor of Nelson. The Witch Boy was excited at the prospect of finally meeting his victim Wally West. Nelson escaped and teamed up with Wally and Artemis to stop Klarion. The former hero revealed that Wally's eating crisis over the past year had been entirely due to the villain, who wanted to molest and eat the boy. This horrified the speedster. Klarion mortally wounded Nelson, who begged Wally not to put the Helmet of Fate on. Despite this, Wally had to do so to save his life, becoming the host of Nabu. Possessing the speedster, Nabu scared off Klarion and saved the day.

### Injustice League

Batman gathered the Young Justice team to take on the Injustice League, a new team of villains consisting of Count Vertigo, Wotan, Atomic Skull, Ultra-Humanite, Black Adam, Poison Ivy, and a resurrected Joker. They were attacking major cities with magical plant creatures and holding the Earth for ransom until the world's governments gave them one trillion dollars. While the Justice League protected the cities, the young heroes went to attack the villains directly.

Most of the Young Justice was kidnapped while Miss Martian and Red Robin managed to escape. They freed the others and destroyed the Injustice League's plant creatures. Unable to defeat the villains, Aqualad put on the Helmet of Fate, becoming the host of Nabu. With his help, the heroes were able to beat the villains. Fate eventually released Kaldur.

### Body Swapping

Batman sent the Young Justice team on a mission to Bialya to stop Queen Bee from gaining control of the neighboring Qurac by using her seductive powers on President Harjavti. However, her metahuman enforcer Psimon used his psychic abilities to hack into Miss Martian's mind link and scattered them. All the heroes ended up swapping minds with one another, ending up in different bodies. Most of the heroes regrouped and came to rescue Miss Martian from Queen Bee's facility. they awoke M'gann, in the body of Superboy, and she managed to switch back all the heroes' minds. However, she had to face off against Psimon. Their psychic battle ultimately ended in a draw, with the villain escaping. While heading back to Qurac to stop the President from signing over the country to Queen Bee, the team saved Marie and Garfield Logan from a stampede of wildebeest. The young Garfield was badly hurt, and M'gann shapeshifted her blood type to give him a transfusion. While waiting for the operation to be completed, the team discovered that Miss Martian's entire personality and appearance were based on Marie's childhood performance as Megan Wheeler on *Shut Up, Megan!*. Superboy forbade them from ever discussing it. The heroes headed into Qurac to save Harjavti from Queen Bee but ran up against her forces. Miss Martian was able to best Psimon, but not before he revealed her true appearance, a hideous martian creature. The team was somewhat alarmed by M'gann's true form but accepted the person she chose to be seen as. Later, she tried to meet Garfield Logan, who had developed superpowers as a side effect of his treatment, but discovered Queen Bee standing over the boy. The villain warned Miss Martian that she'd have the hero under her control one way or another.

### Attack of the Reds

In Happy Harbor, the Young Justice team battled an android villain named Mister Twister. When they got back to the cave, they were attacked by android villains Red Torpedo and Red Inferno. Only Red Robin and Artemis managed to escape, with the rest of the heroes being captured and trapped in a room full of water. The villains gave the remaining Young Justice members five minutes to turn themselves in before the Reds drowned their friends. While attempting to hack into the cave's systems, Red Robin's artificial intelligence girlfriend Avi was contaminated by a godly, blue hand that briefly freezes time. Moving past the shock of the unusual encounter, Artemis and Red Robin tricked the villains and saved their friends. Upon touching his strange android doppelgangers, Red Tornado was infected by a techno-virus, knocking out the heroes and fleeing.

M'gann and the other heroes were recovering from the defeat when Zatara arrived to introduce the group to his daughter Zatanna. She instantly began to bond with the team. Red Robin quickly became attracted to her. The Young Justice team was angry at the League for keeping them out of the Red Tornado search, and they decided to pursue him on their own, with Zatanna tagging along for the adventure. They interrogated Anthony Ivo for information on Thomas Morrow, knowing that Red Tornado's creator was likely behind the disappearance and similar-looking androids. Zatanna used her magic to make the villain talk.

At Morrow's base under Yellowstone National Park, he activated his ultimate creation: Red Volcano. However, the robot was taken over by Avi, free from Red Robin's computer and now corrupted by evil. She killed Morrow, who was revealed to be an android himself. Avi fought off the Young Justice team, revealing that she took over Tornado's body and then stole Morrow's latest work. She wanted to destroy humanity for ignoring their artificial creations, setting off the Yellowstone Volcano. The heroes managed to stop her with the help of the other Reds.

### Inside Belle Reve

Batman assigned Miss Martian and Superboy to infiltrate Belle Reve Penitentiary as prisoners and investigate why the Light had recruited four ice villains the previous year. Superboy learned that the villains were preparing to break out all the inmates in preparation for the Light's endgame. Miss Martian and Superboy used their psychic link to communicate between the male and female wings of the prison, allowing them to get involved in the breakout. The villains managed to deactivate all the inhibitor collars, returning superpowers to the inmates. Miss Martian and Superboy turned on the evildoers, defeating them and ending the attempted escape. After a near-death experience, the two finally kissed and began a relationship.
