==Publication history==
===Silver Age (1950s–1960s)===
Martian Manhunter aka John (J'onn J'onzz) Jones debuted in the back-up story "The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel" in ''[[Detective Comics]]'' #225 (November 1955), written by [[Joseph Samachson]] and illustrated by Joe Certa.{{Cref|Note 1}} The character is a green-skinned [[humanoid]] from [[Mars]], who is pulled to Earth by an experimental [[teleportation]] beam constructed by Dr. [[Saul Erdel]]. The Martian tells Erdel where he is from, and Erdel tells him that to send him back will require the teleportation beam's robot brain to be recalibrated, and that this may take years. J'onzz changes into the shape of a human to blend in until he can return to Mars. The shock of seeing this kills Dr. Erdel and leaves J'onzz with no way of returning home. The character decides to fight crime while waiting for [[Martian]] technology to advance to a stage that will enable his rescue.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schelly |first1=William |title=American Comic Book Chronicles: The 1950s |date=2013 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=9781605490540 |page=140}}</ref> To that end, he [[human disguise|adopts the identity]] of ''John Jones'', a detective in the fictional Middletown, USA.<ref>''Detective Comics'' #322 (December 1963)</ref>
During this period, the character and his backstory differ in some minor and some significant ways from modern treatments. Firstly, as with his counterpart, the [[Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] [[Superman]], J'onzz's power range is poorly defined, and his powers expand over time as the plot demands. The addition of [[precognition|precognitive]] abilities (''Detective Comics'' #226) is quickly followed by telepathy and flight,<ref>''[[Detective Comics]]'' #227 (January 1956)</ref><ref>''Detective Comics'' #228 (February 1956)</ref> "atomic vision", super-hearing,<ref>''Detective Comics'' #231 (May 1956)</ref> and many other powers. In addition, his customary weakness to fire is only manifested when he is in his native Martian form.
A more significant difference is that in this version of him, there is no suggestion that Mars is a dead planet or that the character is the last of his kind. Many of the tales of the time feature either Martian technology or the appearance of other Martian characters such as his
J'onzz eventually reveals his existence to the world, after which he operates openly as a superhero and becomes a charter member of the [[Justice League]]. During the character's initial few years as a member of the Justice League, he is often used as a substitute for Superman in stories (just as [[Green Arrow]] was for Batman) as DC Comics were worried about using their flagship characters too often in Justice League stories, fearing overexposure.<ref name="Detective Comics 1959">''Detective Comics'' #273 (November 1959)</ref> The Martian and the archer inaugurated the team-up format of ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]''.<ref>''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'' #50 (October–November 1963)</ref> J'onzz appears there one other time, working with the [[Flash (Barry Allen)|Flash]].<ref>''The Brave and the Bold'' #56 (October–November 1964)</ref> In some stories he is shown travelling through space at near-light speed<ref>''Justice League of America'' #3 (March 1961)</ref> or to other planets.<ref>''Justice League of America'' #12 (June 1962)</ref>

In 1997, J'onn J'onzz became a founding member of [[Grant Morrison]] and [[Howard Porter (artist)|Howard Porter's]] new ''[[JLA (comic book)|JLA]]'' where the team fought a group of [[White Martians]], the [[Hyperclan]].
''Martian Manhunter'' began as an ongoing series in 1998, written by [[John Ostrander]] and illustrated by [[Tom Mandrake]] (with fill-in art provided by [[Bryan Hitch]] among others). The series lasted 38 issues before being canceled due to low sales. Ostrander established that Martian Manhunter is the most recognized hero in the Southern Hemisphere and that he maintains a number of different secret identities, many of them outside the United States, though his primary and first secret identity is still John Jones. However,
The series establishes that J'onzz has a disturbed brother, [[Ma'alefa'ak]], who uses his shapeshifting abilities to pose as J'onzz, capturing and torturing [[Jemm|Jemm, Son of Saturn]], and [[terraforming]] part of Earth to resemble Mars (areoforming). This is all part of a grand plan designed to convince the rest of the Justice League that J'onzz has turned into a [[Psychopathy|sociopath]]. However, J'onzz is able to clear his name and defeat Ma'alefa'ak despite having most of his body destroyed in an exploding spaceship (he is able to regenerate his body from his severed hand after 'transplanting' his soul into his hand and sending it back to his home fortress so that it can regenerate).

During the lead-up to the ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' miniseries, the character is feared to have been killed in an attack on the Justice League's HQ.<ref>''JLA'' #118 (September 2005)</ref> He is later revealed to be alive and a captive of [[Alexander Luthor, Jr.]]<ref>''Infinite Crisis'' #3 (February 2006)</ref> After ''Infinite Crisis'', most of DC's series [[One Year Later|jumped ahead one year]], having the weekly series ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'' fill in the missing time.

Line 115:
In ''[[Brightest Day]]'', he is a very prominent character, finding a water source on Mars and meeting and talking with the daughter of Dr. Erdel, Melissa. J'onzz is depicted tucking her into bed in a retirement home, in the form of her father.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #2 (May 2010)</ref> He later appears at Erdel's old lab. However, plant life starts to die every time he gets near.

After J'onzz lashes out at Star City's forest, he returns home.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #9 (September 2010)</ref> During this same time period, J'onzz is found by [[Green Arrow]], who attacks J'onzz after mistaking him for some sort of monster. After being knocked unconscious and dragged out of the forest by Green Arrow, J'onzz explains that the forest somehow tampered with his Martian shape-shifting abilities and temporarily drove him mad.<ref>''Green Arrow'' (vol. 5) #4 (February 2012)</ref> When J'onzz arrives home, he sees his planet covered in a newly formed forest on Mars.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #11 (October 2010)</ref>
When J'onzz enters his home, he is confronted by a female Green Martian named D'kay D'razz, the same Green Martian who attacked M'gann. D'kay explains her origins and wants to be J'onzz's mate. J'onzz refuses and learns that she is a psychopath when D'kay angrily lashes out to attack and enters his mind. J'onzz tries to resist influence from D'kay's mind, but her control over his mind tempts him with visions of a fantasy world where all the Martians and J'onzz's family are resurrected by the Entity.<ref name=BD12/> While reunited with his lost family, J'onzz discovers that they are false and realizes that they are a ruse and the death corpse is carved of Martian symbols of love and hate from D'kay's influence. J'onzz arrives vengeful and wrings D'kay's neck in disgust.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #15 (December 2010)</ref> J'onzz defeats D'kay by forcing her into the Sun, saved from the same fate by the [[White Lantern Entity]], who informs him that his mission has been accomplished, and returns his life to him.

J'onzz chooses Earth and returns to his adopted homeworld only to be absorbed into the earth by the Entity as "part of the plan".<ref>''Brightest Day'' #21 (March 2011)</ref>
When the "Dark Avatar" makes his presence known, J'onzz is revealed to be one of the Elementals.

In ''Justice League of America'', Martian Manhunter is a member of the U.S. government-sponsored Justice League, taking orders from [[Amanda Waller]] and [[Steve Trevor]].<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/26/catwoman-martian-manhunter-form-new-justice-league-of-america Catwoman, Martian Manhunter Form New Justice League of America - IGN]</ref> Like other members of the team, he has been selected as a counterpart for a member of the independent Justice League, should they ever go rogue; J'onzz is Superman's counterpart.<ref name="America 2013"/> He also appears in ''Justice League''; when [[Despero]] assaults the Watchtower, he is mentioned by [[Firestorm (character)|Firestorm]] as having been a member of the Justice League when it initially fought with Despero. When Despero incapacitates Firestorm, [[Element Woman]], and the [[Atom (comics)|Atom]], Martian Manhunter appears and defeats him with a telepathic assault. Working with his JLA colleagues in ''Justice League of America'', he investigates the activities of the [[Secret Society of Super Villains]], led by the [[Outsider (comics)|Outsider]]. Later, the two Leagues meet, along with the supernaturally-powered [[Justice League Dark]] in the "[[Trinity War]]" crossover storyline because of a diplomatic crisis in [[Kahndaq]] triggered by the young superhero [[Captain Marvel (DC Comics)|Shazam]]. The three Leagues are gathered together when the Outsider reveals himself to be an evil counterpart of Batman's butler [[Alfred Pennyworth]] from [[Earth-Three]], and witnesses the arrival of Earth-Three's evil Justice League's counterparts, the [[Crime Syndicate]]. The three Leagues are soundly defeated, and Martian Manhunter is trapped inside the Firestorm matrix along with his colleagues by Firestorm's evil counterpart Deathstorm. While inside Firestorm, for the duration of the ''Forever Evil''-themed issues of the ''Justice League of America'' title, Manhunter and [[Courtney Whitmore|Stargirl]] shared a close adventure interlinked with one another's memories as Despero assisted the Syndicate with keeping the JLA imprisoned. After being freed in ''Forever Evil'' #7, the two remain close friends,<ref>''Justice League of America'' (vol. 2) #14</ref> and along with Green Arrow go on to form the core of a new successor Justice League based out of Canada, in ''[[Justice League United]]''.<ref>''Justice League United'' #1</ref>
J'onn's new origin is revealed in vol. 4 of ''Martian Manhunter'' (2015–2016). When he lived there, Mars was originally a living, thriving world millions of years ago. After received a psychic warning, a young J'onn was recruited along with others by the Martian government to investigate a potential threat. He was eventually betrayed by
Martian Manhunter seemingly died while trying to stop a series of bombings. However, it was revealed that there were still pieces of him that lived on after he landed on Earth, and they began to bring him back together. After being teleported to an alternate Mars, Ma'alefa'ak, revealed to be another construct of J'onn's memories, plans to use them in another ritual to bring back the actual Mars with himself as its ruler. After this plan was foiled, J'onn was later revived with all of the remaining constructs merging back with him, finally coming to accept that he truly is the last Martian.<ref>''Martian Manhunter'' (vol. 4) #1-12 (June 2015–Mayz 2016)</ref>
Line 140:
===Psionic/mental/psychic and extrasensory===
J'onn J'onzz is the most powerful telepath on Earth, being able to control and affect even the Spectre and Doctor Fate with his telepathy. Aquaman has stated that Martian Manhunter's telepathy exceeds even the telepathy of other members of the Martian race. He said that with J'onzz's great telepathic power, his own telepathy just "pings" off of him while, when Aquaman was in the presence of J'onzz's brother, Ma'alefa'ak, there was no such effect. J'onzz is capable of linking the minds of all superheroes at once from a distance of the Moon to all corners of Earth, even once scanning the entire galaxy to see if anyone was not experiencing a brief moment of transcendent bliss. He is also capable of reading the minds of all inhabitants of Earth at once. His telepathic abilities also allow him to create realistic illusions; telepathically trace and locate people; shut down people's minds; brain blast; mental shield; influence thoughts; mind control people; manipulate memory; astral projection; possession; induce sleep; reprogram or reorder minds; and transfer information directly into people's brains. Martian Manhunter's mind control capabilities have allowed him to mind control the [[Joker (character)|Joker]] and make him temporarily sane, as well as mind controlling several White Martians at once. He is also capable of mentally shielding those around him from telepathic assault. His own mental defenses are so strong that he is able to telepathically shield himself from the combined might of several White Martians and from the Mageddon machinery. He has at times also demonstrated limited telekinetic abilities, though such showings are rare and often forgotten.
===Enhanced Martian senses===
Line 155:
During the Fernus storyline, Batman noted that Martian shapeshifting was an instantaneous reflex based around the psychic study of others, allowing J'onzz to adapt rapidly to any opponent's physiology or fighting style. Curiously, this aspect of his power puts him at a slight disadvantage when faced with [[Plastic Man]], who is immune to telepathy and who has no set fighting style, but is instead described as "inspiration given form", a completely spontaneous and unpredictable being.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Seventeen Fish Sticks: Why Plastic Man is the Best {{!}} Wolkin's House of Chicken and Waffles (and Comics!)|url = http://wolkin.com/2010/07/773/seventeen-fish-sticks-why-plastic-man-is-the-best/|access-date = 2015-08-28|first = David|last = Woliin}}</ref>

==List of enemies==
The following are enemies of Martian Manhunter:
* '''Bel Juz''' – A Green Martian who survived the fate of Mars and used her womanly wiles and devious mind to manipulate those around her. After her home world of Mars was rendered uninhabitable, Bel Juz fled to the planet Vonn with the remnants of her fellow Green Martians. Bel betrayed her people to the Thythen, invaders who had driven out all the known natives of Vonn. The Thythen employed cybernetics to enslave the Green Martians, then used their life-force to drive their Robo-Chargers. Only Bel Juz remained free among her group.
* '''B'enn B'urnzz''' – A Martian criminal who was hiding on Earth in 2062 and then came back to the present time to wreak havoc.
