9:25 As a matter of fact, I have an idea for one. It's basically DC's version of the BBC Sherlock TV Show but this time all the BS deduction skills that the MC has makes sense cuz he's an alien. The premise is that he's less of a Sam Spade and more of an OG Sherlock Holmes/Psyhcic Columbo. He's the guy the police turn to when they're having trouble, and he outsources his detective skills as a Private Investigator. You'd have sprinkles of the wider DC World (maybe some JL members get cameos or entire episodes where they're the focus) but it's primarily a mystery show about Martian Manhunter solving side mysteries of the week while the main core mystery would be him trying to figure out what happened to the Martian Civilization after he got teleported to the future. Scenes of him investigating the hidden ruins of Mars would be interspersed with him investigating regular crimes (I imagine that he fixed the teleporter, but can't figure out how to convert it into a time machine). Ultimately, it becomes more and more clear what happened to the Martians, and the truth would be related to a plot twist that shocks J'Onn to his core. The series finale would be something akin to "Secret Origins" from the JLAS, albeit much more closer to its War of the Worlds inspiration but pretty much the same with all the Justice League members uniting to help Martian Manhunter fight the threat of the Martian Invasion.

It also makes me angry because Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado are characters that fit much more with the League, but noooo, put Cyborg in to be the living laptop.

I swear Martian Manhunter us probably the most UNDERRATED member of the Justice League. He is not just a founding member of the Justice League but also the heart and soul of the Justice League. I especially fell in love with the character from watching the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited DCAU show's. Jonn is such a multi faceted and complex character that deserves so much more recognition and I truly believe the character deserves either a limited series or short film about the character because there is so much interesting and introspective stories to tell with the character and how he views Earth and his relationship with other superheroes like Superman, as they were both immigrants from the stars bu Jonn sadly had to grasp the tragedy of how he lost his people. I actually have this pitch for Martain Manhunter animated series set as a homage to classic 1930/40's noir detective stories and sci fi films. My pitch has Jonn established as a detective trying to solve an overarching story about a series of murders that are completely untraceable because the murder is secretly another Martian leading to a deeper look into Martain heritage and lore about Jonn's people. I also have another plot idea for this animated series pitch is that Jonn after arriving on Earth, he would accidentally cause the death of an innocent man names John Jones, and I thought it would be a compelling idea to have Martian Manhunter promise the man in his dieing breath that he'd look after his family by impersonating that man for a couple years essentially stealing his life and raising a new family much like the one he lost on Mars. I think this would be a pretty interesting story to tell with Martian Manhunter and lead to alot of moral and internal conflicts especially with how Jonn as an alien must feel guilty impersonating and honouring the life of another man as his dieing wish. What so you think do you like my idea?

John Ostrander's run on Martian Manhunter made me really appreciate John in a way outside the Justice League animated series. I guess the big problem with John is that within the comics he always had a lot of superpowers which came off as just Superman but a martian. Yes, I love that his weakness is fire. That's a lot more believable than an irradiated space rock and told a lot of great stories about John's own trauma and his race being destroyed by it. But I think had the comics gone the Justice League animated series route where John's powers were clearly psychic and shapeshifting I think you could have told some great stories. Because I could picture a TV series or even a movie where John escapes to earth in the 1950s and assumes the identity of a detective and in turn has to navigate Earth. He comes to see Earth as his own home and has to stop an enemy who once destroyed Mars. Plus, with John being a shapeshifter, it makes it much easier to recast John because he can be anyone. Also, I'd try to get Carl Lumbry involved because he defined John for me as a character.

I do agree that Martian Manhunter has not been given his proper respect as of late, and he's so interesting. In many ways, he is the amalgamation of Superman and Batman. Martian Manhunter has had a similar status to Superman by how they are both the supposed last of their respective alien races, but J'onn Jonzz lived his life in Martian culture. J'onn's similarity with Batman is that they both watched their families and would become detectives, but in J'onn's case, he watched his family die as an adult, either due to war or due to a virus that attacked martians psychologically. Martian Manhunter definitely had enough of an interesting story to warrant his own movie, but he just wasn't utilized as much. Some of the best uses of Martian Manhunter are the DCAU, some animated DC movies (Justice League new frontier, Justice League crisis on two earths, Superman Man of tomorrow, etc), and the animated series the Batman. Even Smallville and the CW Supergirl series made good use of Martian Manhunter, even though in Smallville, he was underutilized. The Martian Manhunter was just completely wasted in the snyderverse. The Martian Manhunter definitely deserves more respect.

The villain is his brother, but also in his Pre-Crisis stories he has several villains some of which were seen in Young Justice and one had a loose adaptation on JLAS.

Post-Crisis Martian Maneater/Malefic/Mala'fa'ak (one of J'onn's brothers besides T'omm J'onzz who wanted to be Martian Kidhunter pre-crisis, but J'onn said no because he didn't want their parents to worry too much...an actual good reason for no sidekick back then, Superman kinda had a few odd reasons though instead of just saying "well I'd like you to do your own thing" at first.) J'onn also has more weaknesses than just fire...he hates microwave-based lasers and the chemical Z-6...all of which scramble his telepathy and invisibility.

This would make it extremely difficult to work on a case, not because his stomach can't handle it, but because he gets as bonkers over it as Daphne Blake does...making it hard for him to focus on using his abilities...and it's a whole lot more readily available than a match. Infact the ideal candies to avoid feeding J'onn? Anything made by the company Mars...and especially if the candy has an intergalactic name such as Milky Ways and Mars Bars...J'onn would go "cuckcoo for coco-puffs" over those two...and then if he looks inside a children's sci-fi book or software game...he might find out he's the favorite superhero of Ralphie Tennelli.

I think the “problem” with Martian Manhunter and most other characters they try to add to the Justice League like Cyborg and Hawkgirl when getting adapted is what I call 7th member syndrome, as in they are relatively popular characters but don’t have their own set of notable side characters, villains, family (characters with similar powers) or notable stories, granted this could be fixed with a solid ongoing solo series.

I hate that the reason they replaced J'onn with Victor was that they replaced John Stewart with pasty Jordan so DC needed a new "token. " Thus, I hate the producers with their backhanded racism.

So many people were giving Zack Snyder, and DC, hell for going with Martian Manhunter instead of John Stewart at the end of ZSJL, but I was honestly so relieved. The Lanterns are ridiculously cool, but my boy J’onn J’onzz deserves to be adapted… it’s just a shame we never got to see more of what he would have been like on the big screen… I seriously hope James Gunn and Peter Safran bring him back into their DCU by the time we get our next Justice League film!

My GOAT fr. He’s one of the most disrespected and under appreciated characters in modern times. Personally I would like to see Superman be the reason he comes into public eye and then have them bond as being both aliens foreign to Earth. Manhunter is the heart of the team and allows for very emotional and sentimental moments to occur. It would also be really interesting to see the civil rights movement tied into his background as maybe he arrived during the 1960s and faced heavy prejudice. Manhunter wouldn’t want to see humans go through the same thing that happened on his planet and rightfully he would stand up for those facing violence.

Great job on this one! Oh man I absolutely hate everything they did with Martian Manhunter in the supergirl show except one episode from season 4 where he first set up his detective agency. I have to say that was a good episode but otherwise I cringed throughout most of the series and I really hated the Megann ship too! No joke! Definitely in this case I agree with your assessment even more so than some other videos you’ve posted. Great job! Keep up the good work!

i'm glad you brought up the way he died in injustice because i had the same problem with Captain Atom (who you should also do a video on) dying the way he did. Both Martian Manhunter and Captain Atom suffer from being written by people who don't understand how Cap's powers work or how MM's fire weakness works

Shout-out to Carl Lumbly for his work voice acting J'onn in the DCAU. He gave a J'onn a stoic but vulnerable persona- a person who's lost everything, so he keeps his heart hidden and doesn't want to see bad things happen to anyone else. As the series goes on, his tone shifts and he becomes kinder and warmer, showing how humanity's affected him.

Wow I made a comment about Martian Manhunter on your last video and you done make a video about the goat himself Outside of Batman, Supes and WW. John Jones Aka the Martian Man Hunter has always been my favorite character that never gets any love and is the most underutilized member in DC. The POTENTIAL with this character.......Its sad to see. Loved his character so much in the animated show and even there he would get the short end of the stick at times.

Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian are still related in Young Justice, since J'onn sister is M'Gann's mother, and her father is a White Martian, and their kids either came out Green or White. Making the CW versions outliers with them being... romantic. Back on topic, by making Cyborg a founding member of the JL, he hasn't been given that much of big presence in many stories, in comics and in media, which in retrospect, hurts both him and Martian Manhunter, instead of just one character. Talk about a backfire.

I love manhunter. I love his personality and his powers. He such an interesting character. When I was younger I got so hype any time he would use his power on be in the screeen. I think they replace him with cyborg bc maybe they thought he clash with superman imo. Cyborg is always teen titans guy for me. I even read the comics and it’s different. Ik cyborg with the judt once league in some comics but he fits so well with teens. It’s so sad how we barely get to see manhunter even though he is literally the main front of the justice league .

Martian Manhunter was also Leader of *Justice League Task Force* yes, Justice league had their own Task Force. We need to talk about Martin Manunter’s rouge galleries. He dated on of his villain Scorch to help him concurs his fear of fire thus lead into the burning Martians arc. 6:44 There is a great plotline that ties Martian Manhunter to a completely obscure Hero, *Son of Vulcan.* Son of Vulcan is old hero but their 2000s iteration, there was a line of Son of Vulcans, they have the power of Fire from when the White Martians experimented on them since ancient times. After Son of Vulcans harnessed the power of Fire they use the power to hunt down White Martians. The current Son of Vulcan names is Miguel “Mikey” Devante. He only had a mini series, he went into a coma in Titans East and he was last seen Squid squad: El Diablo Alive and well. DC wasted potential with Son of Vulcan and the Martians. 8:19 That is very weird. 8:50 Yeah that also weird. J’onn and M’gann are not related in the comic but they still do the father daughter relationship. I am also mad at Magss Visaggio for copying Young Justice and making Connor and M’gann a couple in the mainstream comics. Connor Kent and Miss Martian never interacted with each in the comics. As God as my witness. I hate when writers copy from a different source rather main source material. Connor and M’gann should be a couple in young justice cartoon only. Not anywhere else. At first I want Connor and Cassie Sandsmarks to be back together. Then I realize they did broke up before new 52, in only to help Cassie to focus on being the leader of the Teen Titans. The second best love interest for Connor Kent is *Cassandra Cain.* They did date but their relationship got shafted. It don’t remember how they broke up. It wound’t hurt to rekindle their relationship.
