I think Martian Manhunter is just too alien. Like you said Superman looks like a white human male, while MM can appear that way Clark was also raised on Earth while J'onn came to Earth as an adult. I don't think a lot of comic readers can really associate with him. Sure he's an outsider experiencing Earth but so is Wonder Woman really and she's at least got the whole leaving home and her mother to discover the world. J'onn was just accidentally brought here. Flash is a man who gets powers in an accident, Green Lantern is given a powerful weapon....much more relatable than J'onn's origin.

Between Him and Superman. If you make a successful story for either of them, you know you have what it takes to be a writer.

I suppose it doesn't help that he's as easily relatable. I always thought characters like Zauriel would have been interesting to read about but the fact that he's never been human and has powers and a back story that noone can relate to make it difficult to read up on. That being said, MM is one of my all time favourite characters and I've picked up previous short series' based on him. And I think they've been outstanding on occasion.

Hardest Martian. Plus then he could always go intangible. Uh...  
 
I always though Martian Manhunter could be written like a really interesting mix between Silver Surfer, Superman, and Professor X. He is my favorite male DC character, but yeah, I feel he is underutilized. I think he just needs a passionate about him writer to champion him! Interesting what will happen to him in months to come.

He just needs a good writer that is all

Personally, I think Martian Manhunter is a great character to write, seeing how he's got a lot of pathos and angst one can explore, and while it's easy for some to classify him as another Superman, I think he's very different from The Man of Steel. I think with a good story, MM could really shine as a title character.

he  my favorite justice league character besides wally west. they could give him a great solo explore his past and present and what means to be an outsider looking through the glass wondering why humans are the way they are and falls in love with a human woman.

to be honest. I think MM's plight was much more relatable than Supes because MM actually had a life before earth. Spuerman never knew krypton... nor what its like to be on krypton. He cant miss krypton because he never had it. the only way supes is relatable because he is looks like a human white male but im pretty sure MM was on earth longer than Supes

yup. since before Clark was born

Because no one at DC cares to go back and use MM's supporting characters or villains. If Johns did the same thing on Brightest Day: MM like he is doing now with Cyborg and Aquaman he would be at a much better place.

Also DC gave Cyborg new logo, when MM also should have gotten one too! And people stop mistaking the X as his symbol, its the pi circle.

I think the problem is that no one has a imagination. I mean so many complain he is hard to write or hard to relate to because he doesn't act like a human or has so many powered. All you need is a great imagination and realize these are comic books and not all characters in comics are humans. Me personally would run and buy a book about MM the day it is released on shelfs like I usually do for Batman. He is my all time favorite member of the JL along with Batman and Barry Allen.

Maybe reboot as the Mexican Manhunter : Juan Juarez ?
