Because Telepathy Would Be Too Simple

Jun 26, 2009 in Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Martian Powers Drinking Game, Odd Powers, What Were They Thinking

In a JLA story that begins with Hal being knocked out (yet again), the League must learn the contents of a map. J’onn has an idea!

Most people have memories. Not J’onn

Hmmm.

Sadly, the next panel does not feature Superman getting kicked in the nuts.

Catching a (Radio) Wave

“Hey Rocky! Wanna see me pull a power out of this hat?”

Take a shot.

Martian Patronizing.

Nov 07, 2008 in Bad Science, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Sexism, What Were They Thinking, Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter are trying to turn off a doomsday device with no visible off mechanism.

Wonder Woman has an idea!

This makes as much sense as anything, I suppose. How to get to it, though?

“Good girl!”? What is she, a puppy? She just saved the world while you sat on your Martian ass.

Of course, the real reason I posted it is for this:

Oh. Oh my.

Speaking of Bad Science

Dear Gardener Fox,

You do know that the Jet Stream is not an actual stream, yes?


So lightning can turn the jet stream into water, and then it stays in the air?

The Return of the Martian Manhunter Drinking Game

Oct 14, 2008 in Bad Science, Martian Manhunter, Martian Powers Drinking Game, Odd Powers, What Were They Thinking

I love you, Silver Age Justice League of America, but my liver hates you.


New power: Martian Molecular Transmutation. Gosh, that would sure come in handy any of the 3,000 other times he can’t get to a bad guy because of fire (like here). Just change the oxygen content of the air.

Bonus points because he’s using it so he can defeat a bad guy… MAGNETICALLY!

I do so love comics.

J’onn J’onnz Needs Retraining.

May 22, 2008 in Martian Manhunter, What Were They Thinking

J’onn has to be the worst undercover man in the history of crime fighting.

“…Oh crap. I said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud”

This Issue: Actual Manhunting

May 16, 2008 in Martian Manhunter, Racism, What Were They Thinking

Detective John Jones is tracking a criminal to Africa, which we all know is just a giant jungle with no cities or anything. Circumstances force him to use his powers, but there’s a catch!

With J’onn’s previously seen abilities of shape-shifting or even simple invisibility (which he used to stay under the radar in his earliest adventures), surely J’onn will have a humdinger of a disguise, right?

Yes, because G-d forbid he become an African. I guess he can only shape shift into white people?

Does “Martian Racism” count as a power? Maybe “Martian Political Incorrectness”?

What are the Odds?

May 15, 2008 in Martian Manhunter, Puns, What Were They Thinking

Did you know that J’onn had a brother?

Guess his name. G’wan (no, that isn’t it), guess!

groan

While this is not, technically, a Martian power, the lameness of the pun fills me with the desire for said shot. Join me, won’t you?

And now I have “It’s not Unusual” stuck in my head.
