Since the NEW 52 debut in 2011,the long date DC Comics fans were shocked with the announcement that J'onn J'onzz,the Martian Manhunter were no longer a Justice League founding member,giving his place to a former Teen Titan,Cyborg.
After 4 years or less,Cyborg finally fitted to the team,becoming an important member of the JL,after the efforts of Geoff Johns.Poor Victor suffered in the hands of the fans,who blamed him for J'onn's absence,but that is not the truth,the fault lies in the hand of...Geoff Johns!!! I admit that I was furious when that happen,but,Cyborg earned his place,but I still prefer J'onn!!!
The Martian Manhunter debuted in the New 52 as a member of the StormWatch,was a Justice League member,I don't know how and when,but not as a Founder,then he entered in the Justice League of America,now he is in the Justice League United,the blond League!...During that time he also appear in many other comic books such Green Lantern Corps,Legion of Super Heroes and Action & Comics to name a feel...
DC is trying to find a place to him,trying to put him somewhere,but it isn't working!Despite the fact that I actually liked the JLA and I'm enjoing the JLU,I have a feeling that the JLU will not last long enough.. :(
We all know why J'onn can't find a place...Because there's only one place that he belongs...
.
..The Justice League...
And I'm not talking of the "B" leagues,I talking of the "A" team,with the DC's Trinity and the others.J'onn is a character known as the Soul of the Justice League,the history and career of Martian Manhunter is heavily bound to the story of the team,so when take the Justice League from him,the character loses a big part of his essense,he loses what make him special and important to the DC Universe...
Unfortunetely,because of the New 52,J'onn is also losing his spot on the animated movies,games and such...And in 2017,when we'll finally see a Justice League movie,DC chooses to adapt the New 52 version,so,no J'onn...People say that he may be in the movie ot on i'ts sequel in 2019,but will not be the same thing...I belive that J'onn is not a founder because the need to represent minories in the comics,Cyborg is there to fill a "need",to say: "Hey! look,we have a black super hero in the league now!" I am not racist,I love Cyborg,he was one of my favorite Titans,he is an amzing character,but I don't like the way that he entered in the Justice League,THAT was racist...I also belive that Cyborg does almost the same thing MM did in the Team,he is the one trying to find a place in the world,he is the one who try the team united,he is the one who almost live in the Watchtower,he is the one the link of the team,as J'onn did but with Telepathy...So I actually belive that Cyborg is a replacement,with a few changes... I just think that is not right.Cyborg and the Martian Manhunter,both are suffering the fact that DC is becoming incompetent to represent their characters,something that happened only in the movies,is moving to the animations,for TV (I don't believe that Arrow is representing Oliver Queen in the right way,for me,he is Batman with a Bow)and now,also for comics...
