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. Later still, J'onzz goes to see [[Miss Martian|M'gann M'orzz]] in Australia during her mediation search, but finds her beaten and tied up.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #6 (July 2010)</ref> While tending to her, he is contacted by the [[White Lantern Corps|Entity]], who instructs him to burn down the newly formed forest.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #7 (August 2010)</ref> When J'onzz asks M'gann who did this to her, M'gann says she was attacked by a female Green Martian. After this, J'onzz senses something in [[Star City (comics)|Star City]].<ref name=BD8>''Brightest Day'' #8 (August 2010)</ref> J'onzz arrives in Star City's new forest and attempts to complete his task; however, he is stopped from doing that by the Entity. The Entity reveals to him that the newly formed forest J'onzz is to burn down is on Mars. 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. The Entity then tells J'onzz to choose between Mars and Earth. 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. Martian Manhunter is transformed by the Entity to become the element of Earth to protect the Star City forest from the "Dark Avatar", which appears to be the Black Lantern version of the [[Swamp Thing]].<ref>''Brightest Day'' #23 (April 2011)</ref> The Elementals are then fused with the body of Alec Holland in order for Holland to betransform transformed by the Entityhim into the new Swamp Thing and battle against the Dark Avatar. After the Dark Avatar is defeated, Swamp Thing restores J'onzz to normal. Afterward, J'onzz helps Melissa, (daughter of Dr.Saul Erdel)'s daughter, remove the piece from her head after she loses her mind.<ref>''Brightest Day'' #24 (April 2011)</ref>

===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>
 
In ''[[The New 52]]'', the weakness to fire is [[wikt:pyrophobia|pyrophobia]] that is unique to him as a crippling anxiety, due to the trauma of witnessing the fiery death of his race, an explanation previously established in the 1988 ''Martian Manhunter'Martians' miniseriesextinction.<ref name="Martian Manhunter' 1988"/> J'onzz himself notes that it is ridiculous that he is one of the most powerful beings alive and has such a simple weakness.
 
==List of enemies==
The following are enemies of Martian Manhunter:
* '''Imperium''' – An alien who led an unnamed species responsible for wiping out almost all of the Martian race in the ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'' television series.
* '''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.

==Other versions==
Within the publications of [[DC Comics]], many alternate versions of the characters have appeared. Some of those have appeared in stories that set within the shared fictional DC Universe and others in self-contained stories.
 
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter appears in ''[[Kingdom Come (comics)|Kingdom Come]]''. This version lost most of his powers and became stuck in human form following an attempt to understand humanity by attempting to open his mind to all human thoughts at once.
Those alternative versions have appeared in a range of genres and time periods and many appear in ''[[Elseworlds]]'' stories featuring a Justice League, including ''[[JLA: The Nail]]'', ''[[JLA: Act of God]]'', ''[[Justice Riders]]'', the fantasy-themed ''League of Justice'', the World War II-set ''[[JSA: The Liberty Files]]'', and John Arcudi's dark ''[[JLA: Destiny]]'' which features a world without [[Superman]] or [[Batman]]. Other notable stories provide a more pessimistic future for the character.
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from [[Earth-3]] who is a member of the [[Crime Syndicate of America|Crime Syndicate]] appears in the "[[Forever Evil]]" storyline.<ref>''52'' #52</ref><ref>''Trinity of Sin: Pandora'' #4</ref>
 
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from the Antimatter Universe who is a White Martian and member of the Crime Syndicate appears in ''JLA: Earth-2''.<ref>''JLA: Earth-2''</ref>
===Earth-22: "Kingdom Come"===
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from Earth-10 appears in ''[[The Multiversity]]''.
''[[Kingdom Come (comics)|Kingdom Come]]'' features a J'onzz mentally shattered from his attempts to understand humanity by attempting to open his mind to all human thoughts at once. He is now apparently stuck in his human form, demonstrating no flight or superhuman strength and possesses no apparent control over his phasing abilities; requiring Batman to hold up his coffee cup as his hands pass through it. He is shown to still possess some limited control over his remaining telepathy and at Batman's request makes a mind scan of Captain Marvel, the effort of which is shown to very nearly overwhelm him. Despite showing a willingness to stay and continue aiding Batman in his cause, Batman tells him to go and rest, saying he has earned it more than any other of the original Justice League members.
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from Earth-21 appears in the ''[[DC: The New Frontier]]'' storyline. This version was transported to Earth in the 1950s and became a detective and member of the Justice League amidst his attempts to return to Mars.
 
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from Earth-48 appears in ''Countdown to Adventure'' #1.
===''DC One Million''===
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter from Earth-50 appears in the [[DC Animated Universe]]. This version is a member of the [[Justice Lords]], which formed after the death of the [[Wally West|Flash]].
In the ([[Grant Morrison]]-penned series), ''([[DC One Million]])'', a version of the character is shown merging with [[Mars]] and turning it into a home for humanity and other races, with J'onn surviving into the 853rd century while merged with the planet's dust.
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter appears in ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]''. This version was rendered powerless after the [[Joker (character)|Joker]] infected him with nanites and is later killed by him.
 
* An alternate universe incarnation of Martian Manhunter appears in the ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' event.<ref name="fpto3">''Flashpoint: The Outsider'' #3 (August 2011)</ref><ref>''Flashpoint: The Outsider'' #2 (July 2011)</ref><ref name="fpto3" />
===Earth-3===
On Earth-3, the [[Crime Syndicate|Crime Society of America]] exists, with a monstrous version of J'onzz showcased.<ref>''52'' #52</ref>
 
When it came to ''The New 52'' during the "Forever Evil" storyline, Pandora was transported to Earth 3 upon the Crime Syndicate arriving on Prime-Earth. She has an encounter with Earth 3's Martian Manhunter who is badly injured and begs to know whether the rest of the [[Crime Syndicate of America|Crime Syndicate]] made it through the portal. The Crime Syndicate had left him behind so that his wounds wouldn't slow them down. They were seeking another world after their world was destroyed. They knew there was another universe waiting to be conquered. Horrified, Pandora demands to know how she can get back to prevent that conquest, but the Earth 3 Martian Manhunter dies in her arms.<ref>''Trinity of Sin: Pandora'' #4</ref>
 
===Antimatter Universe===
In the Antimatter Universe where that universe's version of the Crime Syndicate resided as seen in ''JLA: Earth-2'', Martian Manhunter's antimatter reality counterpart is a White Martian and was [[Ultraman (DC Comics)|Ultraman]]'s chief rival until Ultraman killed him.<ref>''JLA: Earth-2''</ref>
 
===Earth-10: "The Martian"===
In [[Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[Multiversity]]'' series, there is an alternate Martian Manhunter visible within the "New Reichsmen", the "Justice League" analogues on this Nazi-dominated alternate Earth. Although "the Martian" is mentioned in passing and appears in several ensemble scenes, he has no dialogue. It is uncertain whether this is therefore J'onzz, or another Green Martian. Moreover, Nazi Germany has colonized the Moon and [[Mars]] in this alternate universe.
 
===Earth-17: Post-Apocalyptic===
Similarly to the above, on the current [[New 52]] Earth-17, ravaged by nuclear war in 1963, an angular bodied radiation-suited character with the same coloration and original elongated cranium has appeared, apparently analogous to Martian Manhunter, but again, this character has no dialogue.
 
===Earth-21: New Frontier===
In the alternate [[New 52]] Earth known as Earth-21, an idyllic [[Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] version of the 1960s prevails, where [[John Fitzgerald Kennedy]] was not assassinated in 1963, and an analogue Justice League exists, with a Martian Manhunter as one of its members, although troubled by US anti-communism and xenophobia in this [[Cold War]] historical context.
 
===Earth-29: Bizarro Universe===
Although this [[New 52]] alternate universe centers on Earth-29 (the cuboid Htrae), there is also an overpopulated Sram in this universe. Therefore, its Bizarro-J'onzz is known as the "Sramian Snitch".
 
===Earth-32: Super-Martian===
On this alternate Earth, Super-Martian contains attributes of [[Superman]] and Martian Manhunter both. He is a member of the Justice Titans of America, alongside other amalgamated metahumans.
 
===Earth-42: Little League===
In this [[New 52]] universe, the "Little League" are diminutive robotic analogues of Earth-0's Justice League, including a miniature replica of J'onzz.
 
===Earth-50: Justice Lords===
On this penultimate [[New 52]] alternate Earth, Martian Manhunter is a member of [[Superman]]'s repressive authoritarian Justice League global tyrants, the "Justice Lords".
 
===''Countdown to Adventure''===
''Countdown to Adventure'' #1 depicts the [[Forerunner (DC Comics)|Forerunner]] planet, in an alternate universe (Earth-48) where the races of the planets and dwarf planets in the universe conquer Earth; the leader of the Martian army and populace is General J'onzz. Given the re-calibration of Earth-48 within the [[New 52]] [[DC Multiverse]], it is unclear whether that alternate Martian Manhunter still exists.
 
===''The Dark Knight Strikes Again''===
[[Frank Miller (comics)|Frank Miller]]'s dystopian ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' has a powerless alcoholic J'onzz, his powers lost due to nanites in his brain hindering his abilities, murdered by [[Dick Grayson|Joker/Dick Grayson]] using fire.
 
===''Flashpoint''===
In the alternate timeline of the ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' event, J'onzz was teleported to Earth and held captive in one of the [[Outsider (comics)|Outsider]]'s research facilities. After studying and torturing J'onzz, the Outsider then sold him to the Russian government, after which J'onzz attacked them and took over the country.<ref name="fpto3">''Flashpoint: The Outsider'' #3 (August 2011)</ref> He disguises himself as Blackout for undercover work against the Outsider. After a confrontation with the Outsider, J'onzz's cover was blown when the Outsider tells him that Blackout has no skill.<ref>''Flashpoint: The Outsider'' #2 (July 2011)</ref> During the battle, Outsider used the recovered teleportation technology device to trap J'onzz. The Outsider then threatened J'onzz to tell him about any future assassins; when J'onzz refuses, the Outsider closed the teleport, cutting J'onzz in half and killing him.<ref name="fpto3"/>
