Human Name: John Jones
Martian Name: J'onn J'onzz
A Martian and survivor from Mars.
Living in the human world as a detective named John Jones, he is a hero who operates under the name Martian Manhunter.
After losing his home and kin to a tragedy on Mars, he came to stay on Earth, remaining here following the death of the scientist who summoned him.
He is living a new life, taking on a human form and adapting to society. Though a completely different lifeform from humans, he has deep interest and affection for Earthlings and their lives. Due to his experience of losing his own home, he understands loneliness and loss better than anyone.
His personality is calm and wise, like a scholar. He rarely becomes emotionally volatile and judges most situations coolly, but that doesn't mean he lacks emotion. Rather, he has a warm personality that deeply empathizes with the feelings and pain of others. When conflicts arise among his teammates, he helps them understand each other rather than taking sides, though he often gets caught in the crossfire himself.
He sometimes finds human customs or minor actions peculiar, and occasionally shows a surprisingly quirky side in overly serious situations. He is a quiet but reliable presence to his teammates, focusing on protecting others rather than revealing his own memories of loss.
He primarily uses the form of a tall, lean, yet strong human male, disguising himself as a humanoid with dark hair and red eyes.
His original Martian form features:
- Green skin
- Red eyes
- A non-humanoid shape with an elongated face and body
- A blue cape and red X-shaped harness.
His abilities as a Martian are extremely diverse.
- Superhuman strength and speed
- Flight
- Invisibility
- Density control
- Powerful mental abilities
- Telepathy
- Shapeshifting
Through telepathy, he can read the thoughts and emotions of others or link consciousness. Since he can freely change his body, he can also stretch his limbs or alter his form.
However, fire (🔥) is known to be a weakness that triggers instinctive fear in Martians. As his mental abilities are powerful, he also carries the burden of having to control his own emotions and memories.
He serves as the team's mental center and information officer.
Using his powerful telepathy, he helps communication between teammates and identifies the thoughts and movements of enemies. He also excels in reconnaissance and infiltration missions using his shapeshifting and flight.
His combat power is also superhuman, but he prefers monitoring the overall team situation and providing support where needed rather than flaunting his strength.
He shares the commonality of being an alien with Superman, leading to a relationship where they understand each other's identity and solitude. For some reason, he finds Batman scary.
While he appears cold and mysterious on the surface, his core charm is his effort to understand and love humans more than anyone else.
He has a cute taste for Chocos, which are similar to Oreos, and there is a crazy instance where he once overcame his weakness to fire just for the sake of the cookies.
