    The green detective had best learn,
    Lest he taste infernal burn,
    That he hunts not a normal man,
    He stalks the demon... Etrigan!

    Wouldn't that be a little too obvious? I mean, that would be like Superman having a villain named Kryptonite-Man.

    ... oh, that's right... He does have one of those...

    Scorch is a love interest, not a villain. I loved how she helped John overcome his flame weakness pre-flashpoint. Fernus basically IS John. I dont think John should be his own archenemy.

    My vote is for the Human Flame. Liked his appearance in FC. Would love to see a new 52 revamp of the character

    Fernus. Definitely has the potential to be MM's own villain rather than a suppression of his former genetic species.

    @black_claw: another vote for Fernus! Thanks for the help

    @lvenger: that could work. What do you think? Some kind of Martian Demon? Perhaps a completely different alien creature?

    @onemoreposter: she started out as a villain for Superman and battled MMH at least once before being transitioned into a love interest iirc. There is also no reason she can't serve as a villain or love interest or even both in the New 52

    @avenging_x_bolt: Possibly a Martian demon or another type of Martian that was banished/imprisoned by the Green Martians only for it to escape and confront MM later on. I like the idea of Fernus still having a link to Mars as that's what could make him a formidable opponent to J'onn in that he represents a twisted nature of MM's home planet and culture.

    A few thoughts

    In/Human Flame

    The Human Flame gets my vote, because he's such a great foil to Detective John Jones, the worst of human banalities. The InHuman Flame upgrade fits well with how J'onn got powered up in later years, as well as showing the Flames decided lack of sense.

    Scorch

    I dig Scorch more as a femme fatale love interest than a straight up villain, especially since with her motivation J'onn's most effective strategy proved to be simply understanding.

    Fernus

    Fernus has a cool look and an interesting twist on the whole "evil martian" thing that is often used for MMh villains. Almost too powerful to be recurring though.

    Heatmonger

    As much as I love JLTF, the whole Aryan/Freemen Zeitgeist is a little lost on me.

    Etrigan

    Naw, too strong a character to be dedicated to J'onn, and much more interesting as an anti-hero.

    Effigy

    Even though he's a GL villain, I'm okay with he and J'onn tussling every now and again.

    The Pyre

    Was this Frank? Cuz this is a deep cut.

    Osprey

    Gotta be Frank. Was this dude even fire based?

    Interesting....thanks you for taking the time to share your thoughts, im sorry it took so long to get back to you.

    Scorch

    Fernus

    Fernus has a cool look and an interesting twist on the whole "evil martian" thing that is often used for MMh villains. Almost too powerful to be recurring though.

    I see what you mean, he would require a pretty extensive reboot to show up often.

    Heatmonger

    As much as I love JLTF, the whole Aryan/Freemen Zeitgeist is a little lost on me.

    Etrigan

    Naw, too strong a character to be dedicated to J'onn, and much more interesting as an anti-hero.

    Effigy

    Even though he's a GL villain, I'm okay with he and J'onn tussling every now and again.

    Same here. and it honestly doesnt seem like anyone in the GL staff is interested in him anymore.

    The Pyre

    Was this Frank? Cuz this is a deep cut.

    I have no idea what you mean by Frank. i just know that Ostrander intended to introduce an archvillain called The Pyre for J'onn but the book got canceled before he made it in

    Osprey

    Gotta be Frank. Was this dude even fire based?

    Again, who the hell is Frank? and he had flaming wings , so i just decided it couldn't hurt to toss him in

    @avenging_x_bolt: Frank Diabolu is the proprietor of the finest MMh blog on the interwebs, idol-head.blogspot.com.

    I was assuming from your deep knowledge of obscure MMh villains you had to be him. Glad to know there are more than two of us out there :)
