    Martian Manhunter

    Character » Martian Manhunter appears in 3662 issues.

    Sole survivor of the Martian people, J'onn J'onzz was teleported to Earth decades ago by Dr. Saul Erdel. Since then, he has adopted Earth as his new home, playing many roles over his time with humanity: detective, secret agent, explorer, and even a founding member of the Justice League.

    He should be a cosmic character for DC.

    I don't if you mean a cosmic being. He should be what he is an Alien . Now if you mean cosmic character maybe I'll be open to it. Though I'd miss his detective side along with my vision of him being the guy who works behind the scenes in the DC universe. The one who secretly gathered the JLA together and the like. If Superman is the first, symbol to all heroes and people, the guy everyone looks too to lead the board, Martian Manhunter would be the unknown grandfather and one who's been secretly molding the field for the heroes.

    @sog7dc: When you say cosmic character, do you mean like to the degree of Pheonix or Living Tribunal in marvel? Because if so no, he doesn't need to be that powerful.

    If you mean to the degree of Silver Surfer then I could get behind that now.

    I wouldn't mind a run in space if there is a reason for him to be there like protecting Earth or something involving Mars. Earth is his home though.

    I view MMH as a great character to use to expand the cosmic aspect of DC seeing as the new gods on,h ever deal with. JL members and the Lanterns only ever deal with eachother.

    Now that you put it that way that would be pretty cool to see MMH travel space doing super hero things.

    @sog7dc: MMH kinda was, with stormwatch, but the series fell to pieces . i remember when he was with the JLI and they had space adventures. a JLC(osmic) or maybe have the JLU stand Justice League Universal would be cool. their first mission had to do with space and they introduced adam strange and ultra , you don't get much cosmic than that!

    I'd like to see that, I'd also like to see him occasionally dealing with Alien/Cosmic/Supernatural mysteries in Earth.

    @soa:

    Stormwatch was horribly written from the jump. That's what bugs me about DC. They give lesser known characters an teams a "chance" but they assign terrible writers to the projects. Warren Ellis' Stormwatch was the best team book I've ever read and to see the title devolve to such trash was awful.

    You mean like how he was written in John Ostrander's Martian Manhunter limited series?
