Fernus completely destroyed the Justice League in their encounters with Fernus; for most of the part (especially the first encounter). By contrast, when J'onn's brother took control of J'onn's body, he clearly was not as powerful as Fernus was
Malefic had his telepathy taken away from him, he's not as adept as J'onn is. As proven when J'onn stomped him in a telepathic battle.
Fernus made Arkham Asylum sane without any effort, he was toying with them. It took J'onn effort to make Joker sane, for a short time
He did that before he became Fernus.
Fernus slaughtered 35 White Martians in the Phantom Zone in a short space of time. Though he was on fire, the White Martians had found methods to compensate against the weakness. I do not recall J'onn doing anywhere near as well comparatively
You're forgetting how they dealt with fire. By beating the heroes with their speed and stealth before they could use it e.g destroying the RPG with Martian vision after Superboy fired it and destroying the launcher after he used it. They didn't suddenly gain an immunity to fire. Just being in Fernus' presence made J'onn fall his to knees in pain, the same thing would have happened to the White Martians.
Fernus can create sentient fire clones. J'onn can't
That's how he has children, it's not a new level of power. And it's not like he can pop them out at will. He needs the psychic suffering of others combined with an inferno. Something he can't do on his own.
