Damn good point there

[@TheAntiArmour]

I'd like to believe that as well. As refugees, they would not want to open themselves up to another invasion so they must have done everything in their power to stay hidden from the rest of the universe in order to rebuild their society in peace. Years later, inspired by the heroic feats of Martian Manhunter, they allow one of their best and brightest to train under earth's heroes in order to establish a relationship between planets while also gaining a hero of their own in the events of another castostrophic invasion.

[@RbkARI]

@Singularity Yes, but I guess they can't _detect_ each other telepathically or read each other's minds without permission. They never went too in-depth into J'onn's telepathy in the DCAU.

[@RbkARI]

@Singularity Yes, but we don't even know if she's a White Martian in the DCAU. The comics' and Young Justice's versions of the character are not necessarily the same as the DCAU's.

Hell, you can even have it like in young justice where the titanians watch earth stuff and shape-shift to look like humans (maybe to fit in with other human looking races) and eventually that just becomes the norm, with the shape-shifting ability becoming less and less ubiquitous.

[@jamesbaxter5147]

You can compound more lore by making it so *all* Saturnians developed stronger telepathic abilities. It explains how Martian Manhunter was unable to discover them prior, and makes great logical sense. When the Imperium first invades, a very small group of Saturnians, who’s telepathic abilities were strong enough to conceal their psychic presences, hide just long enough to survive, helped by the Martian Resistance (J’onn J’onzz) sealing the Imperium’s main forces on Mars. Isolated and low in number, any remaining Imperium drones occupying the Saturnians would be swiftly dealt with. It’s beautifully tragic, with the Martian’s sacrifice unintentionally saving their Saturnian kin. Traumatized, the remaining Saturnians became isolationist, going to great lengths to hide their civilization. They build deep underground, and prioritize the development of telepathic prowess as a culture, specifically the ability to conceal their psychic presence. Additionally, the survival of only the most adept telepaths would have created a genetic bottleneck, and the cultural selection for telepathic ability would further propagate inherent telepathic ability. All of that, as well as the use of any technological and natural shielding, radically transforms Saturnian civilization. After 1,000 years of it all, it’s no wonder why Martian Manhunter (and other telepaths) couldn’t discover them. M’gann, and the other Saturnians, would still be of the Martian Species when they end isolation (they might even be Green, still). Then, the next 1,000 years of intermingling with their neighbor species, Humans, once again drastically changes them. Saturnians would adopt many aspects of Human culture, including an infamous love for visual media. Then, many Saturnians take humanoid appearances when interacting with outsiders. And finally, some interbreed with Humans or other aliens. Hybrids, because they don’t have complete Martian physiology, can’t shapeshift. But, other powers, such as their telepathy, are inherited much more easily. Saturn Girl, thus, is likely one of these hybrids, who inherited her people’s strong telepathic abilities. I wish this was a thing.

Imagine being an average Joe in the DCAU just living your regular life Joe: so your a Martian Ms. Martian: actually my parents came from Saturn Joe:Oh

[@ToniBingi]

Here's my idea for a backstory: Remember that J'onn left the League for a while at one point and lived among humans. When he returns, he's with a woman who's at least implied to be his lover. I don't know if this is true in the DCAU, but in Young Justice, M'gann explains that the reason she's able to provide a blood transfusion to a human is because her transformations occur on the molecular level. If J'onn's human form is human down to the molecualr level, who's to say he can't have a child with a human? And since there are no other examples of human-martian hybrids in the DCAU, we have no idea what effects J'onn's powers would have on the child. So basically, my idea is that Miss Martian is J'onn's half-human daughter, whose unique biology caused her to age faster than normal so she appears much older than she actually is. J'onn basically asked Batman to be his babysitter. :) Note: I'm only saying she's younger in YEARS. Physically, mentally and emotionally, she's a young adult.

Algorithm food. I think it would make sense for telepaths trying to use a shield to conceal their presence to avoid being detected and killed. And having multiple Martians putting up a shield could justify "overpowering" one single. That could open up to more survivors Or, in case of one single Martian, cutting off her own powers or trying to mask them somehow to avoid detection and danger

[@IanOPadrick]

The idea of Green Martians or Red Saturnians hiding on Saturn, using their mental powers to hide from Imperium Drones or White Martians/Saturnians could be a reason J'onn didn't notice them. Like, intentionally hiding from other people with similar psychic powers and all that

[@JohnWelsh-oz3jz]

It could be a situation where his telepathy has to be consciously activated or “turned on”, if you will. Think of this as opposed to telepathy being analogous to normal human hearing and consequently “always on”. My point is, in this situation even if J’onn possessed sufficient telepathic range and power; if he doesn’t know to be looking for a given individual, then he’s going to remain as blind to their existence as the rest of us.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

I think writing around this isn't too hard. If you had it where Saturn had a polarized psyonic field around it, where it let in psychic communications but not outward communication. So it would look dead to a telepath (you could say it was the rings of Saturn maybe but it broke up over time) they might have done this to protect themselves out of fear of being discovered or xenophobia. Or some other third thing. Maybe have it where they wanted to stay hidden but ma' gan didn't want to anymore. Maybe they stayed by themselves too long and got lonely. Festered in isolation and nearly wiped themselves out. I'm just spitballing ideas.

It could also be possible that the green Martians weren't as benevolent as they are depicted, and in the DCAU could have created one or two slave races that they used to mine material from Saturn, if it's one it could be the red race (Jem) but if its two it could be Red and White, allowing Jem (if you want to canonize him) and Megan. You can then say that after the green martians were wiped out, the reds and whites were left to there own devices, the whites did what whites do and declared them selves superior and enslaved the reds leading to war ( keeping the story fro the comics but tweking it for the DCAU) Which would allow Megan to keep her backstory from the comics, all be it tweaked to fit the DCAU. You can even go further by saying that in the future, the red and whites found peace and intermingled together with the reforges or immigrants from Exxor (The Wonder Twins Planet) which lead to Saturn Girls future race

bruhhh i totally forgot about that cut part of the interview!! that was so long ago! i for SURE want a miss martian follow up anything!!

[@TheMelnTeam]

One of the easiest plot devices would be a lame "something shielded her in stasis, unconscious". I don't think it has been established that MM could still detect an unconscious being locked away somewhere, right? Cheap and boring, but it would be functional.

[@nawnomadnan9874]

Love the vid since I love finding out more about the DC lore!

[@BoomDriveProductions]

Thanks so much guys, this was awesome

[@ninjagamer1359]

We need her origin revealed in a JL reunion movie - as well as how Jessica Cruz became a Green Lantern. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@gabrielaraujosilva7251]

By the way,how did she become green lantern in DCAU?

[@Savitri12346]

I would love to see this as a movie

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

13:34 I didn't think it possible, but you made that scene even *more* epic!

[@royalblood9381]

Please continue making Videos like this . I actually like them.

[@stephanieandrade7380]

I'd love to see more of her in this universe!!

[@dabuff1319]

Is it wierd that my first thought of Mrs Martians origin was an unspecified cloning incident involving a very drunk Mr terrific and a very confused j'onn?

[@oxfordirishdictionary4855]

I kinda like that theory

[@Miguel_Aleman]

Would I enjoy seeing DCAU's Miss Martian's backstory? Yes. More of this, young, justice leaguer? Definately! James' fan art of DCAU comic minor characters? Sí. Por favor y gracias.

[@dusanstojsin4938]

11:18 You just blew my mind! I never knew about that.

[@dcauwatchtower]

I thought that might be a bit of fun trivia for someone!

[@revnook]

Actually, if you take the overall aspects of not only what was mentioned in the video and some points from the comments, it's easy to see she's a green Martian. Mister Martian can telepathy specific people or specific groups of people at distance. But he's not Professor X or the Phoenix force and can't just scan the minds of everyone everywhere. Miss Martian, being a green martian off Mars and in hiding would have blocked her own telepathy as to be as hidden as possible from the white martians, Mister Imperium and the oreo cookies and cream soldiers. Just sain'.

[@berniedavis6676]

i would love to see more of miss martian and of jessica cruez. heck why not have them be apart of there own team with batgirl, a return of supergirl, bring in donna troy, and jessie quick. and have them be called the super friends and have them in a battle against harley quinn and her secret sorority that has lena luthor, sinestra, killer frost, silver swan, and fire witch.

[@Jacoq]

This video was so fulfilling thank you

[@auden4531]

I'm soooo glad I found this channel!!

[@tomvondoom5416]

I'd love A comic or animated Film to explain that story. Jl vs f5 was solid!

[@Alpha121198]

Imperium’s imposter Senator: “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes…” Me: “N-no, that’s the other guys.” Edit: holy crap that Toonami buffer hit me like a truck.

[@octaviasaenz6666]

Oh cool the Martian name for Mars is borrowed from C.S. Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet, where it's called Malacandra. Love that.

[@mitchellbewick3097]

J'onn reaching out with his mind to find other Martians: Wouldn't the other Martians have cut themselves off psychically to protect themselves from being found by the enemy?

[@opepesilvia6280]

I would love to see the dcau writers take a chance at the teen Titans it'd be cool to see the Titans in that universe

[@niauropsaka]

There was also a "New Mars" in comics in the 1970's. She could be from there! But yeah, I thought of Saturn before you mentioned it. Connecting her to Saturn kinda works.

[@erdood3235]

about the questions in the end: yes and yes! seeing clips of MM was what got me to watch this movie

[@ShikMaTumBA]

What if she was just knocked out due to hibernation. That when John tried to look for someone he wouldn't find her until she was released. I mean super girl was in that situation, so why not?

[@PosthumanHeresy]

I like how you sidestepped the interspecies romance required to make the Saturn Martians into humans. If they shapeshifted their internal organs, do you think they could make human gametes? I think they could.

[@glamourweaver]

I like the idea that she’s an Imperium engineered infiltrator who doesn’t know it, and then her cover-consciousness’ heroism defeats her underlying programming, like fake J’onn in the tie in comic. Her being an engineered infiltraitor rather than just a shapeshifter Imperium Drone would cover why she lacks Drone weaknesses and has Martian weaknesses

[@ProjektTaku]

or you can just say that she was a imperium drone that possessed more martian qualities to be less suspicious, so she has all of the martian weaknesses and abilities and lacks the drone sunlight weakness.

[@LucasDarkGiygas]

Love your videos and sense of humor

[@GabePuratekuta]

I would LOVE to see a DCAU Miss Martian origin! Maybe one where she's part of the Teen Titans as well.
