The Best Martian Manhunter Comics, With Values
Who is the Martian Manhunter?
J'onn J'onzz is the Silver Age Martian Manhunter.
The Martian Manhunter got stranded on Earth and decided to wait for the technology on Mars to improve to the point where he can be returned.
This character epitomizes the problems DC Comics had with writing.
Every time a writer needed an "out" for J'onn J'onzz, they gave him a new power, or powers, to solve the issue.
Ultimately, this led to the Martian Manhunter becoming one of the most powerful characters in the DC Universe.
If you've found a copy of Detective Comics #225 or others, then you might be confused about what you've got, and what to do with it.
