Martian Manhunter, whose real name is J'onn J'onzz, is a Martian inadvertently teleported to Earth by Dr. Erdel during an experiment. Unable to return to Mars due to Erdel's sudden Death from a heart attack, he coincidentally escaped the plague that wiped out all Martians.
Martian Manhunter is known as the "Swiss Army Knife" among superheroes. His powers come from the physiological characteristics of Martians (though not all Martians can achieve them).
Thousands of years of advanced Martian civilization and their technological capability for genetic-level modification have endowed Martian Manhunter with numerous superpowers, though it's unclear if this genetic alteration is natural or artificial.
His body is composed of many high-molecular polymer chains with similar structures, allowing him to change shape, mass, and color at will, and even simulate various clothing. The biological material composing his body is also extremely resilient.
Thus, he can transform into any Earth human he has seen, even an Amazonian princess is no problem for him.
As Eric called out Martian Manhunter's name, everyone present was stunned.
Their gazes, filled with doubt, turned to Wonder Woman, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath and looking disheveled, their faces full of great confusion.
Nightwing looked at "Wonder Woman" with some uncertainty.
This is Martian Manhunter?!
And Homelander said the other party was General Swanwick. Could it be that General Swanwick's true form is Martian Manhunter?
He had even spoken with General Swanwick before he set off. Now you're telling him that the Wonder Woman in front of him is actually General Swanwick?!
His mind was a bit muddled.
As Eric's words came out, the appearance of Wonder Woman, lying on the ground, began to change.
To everyone's disbelief, she transformed into a green-skinned man.
Martian Manhunter, or rather, General Swanwick, stood up, breathing slightly, and faced Eric.
He had dealt with Eric quite a bit during the previous Zod invasion of Metropolis.
He thought he understood him well enough, but he still underestimated him.
He could actually see through his disguise and knew that General Swanwick of the Department of Defense was also one of his identities.
"Why... why could you tell I wasn't Wonder Woman?" Martian Manhunter asked Eric.
"No matter how you disguise yourself, you are always different from the real Wonder Woman," Eric said, looking at Martian Manhunter with a cold expression. "Besides, Wonder Woman never places her identity above ordinary humans."
"You're very clever, Kyle," Martian Manhunter said, gazing at Eric with a complex expression.
"Thank you for the compliment, General. Aren't you even more surprised that I also know your weakness?!"
The reason Eric's use of fire earlier caused Martian Manhunter to be afraid was that Martian Manhunter's fear is fire, or rather, the "H'ronmeer's Curse."
During the "H'ronmeer's Curse," his wife and daughter were burned to ashes before his eyes, leaving him with immense psychological trauma.
When near fire, he loses his ability to use superpowers and control his body shape, making him vulnerable to being killed.
Hearing Eric say his weakness was fire, Martian Manhunter's heart was startled.
But he quickly composed himself.
Although he didn't know why the other party knew so much about him, he still said to Eric seriously, "You have gone too far down the wrong path, you need to stop, Kyle! I know what you've been through, but I must say it was a misunderstanding, and we can go back to how things were before. I promise I will protect you and your family."
"Wrong?" Eric smiled slightly. "Your understanding of right and wrong is probably different from that of Earthlings. After all, you are a Martian! We are both aliens, why side against me when you could side with me?"
"It's not about being against you, I have my own principles! I used to have high hopes for you, I regarded you and Superman as the hope of this country, but now you are gradually becoming what I fear?" Martian Manhunter said slowly to Eric.
If possible, he didn't want to conflict with Eric.
He always believed that Eric was someone who could be won over, and all of Eric's actions were merely his overprotective nature.
Eric asked him, "What is this appearance you fear?"
"I will show you," Martian Manhunter said, looking at Eric with a serious expression.
Martian Manhunter possesses powerful telepathic abilities, making him the strongest telepath on Earth and one of the strongest telepaths in the universe.
He can easily see through the minds of Earthlings; only the minds of the mentally deranged cause him trouble. He can even read people's subconscious. He can scan the thoughts of everyone on Earth in a very short time. Furthermore, he can read minds from a long distance, up to the moon.
So, when Eric stared into his eyes, he easily saw what the other party wanted him to see.
Countless Martians were slaughtered in a doomsday-like scene, demons herding the entire Martian race to inescapable places, executing them in cruel ways.
War flames and thick smoke engulfed the entire Mars.
A terrifying doomsday scene!
"This is the feeling!" Martian Manhunter said to Eric, "When your planet is invaded, when you are ruled by a strong party and become the weaker party, this is the feeling of enslavement!"
"Parents and sons separated, wives never seeing their husbands again, peaceful lives replaced by war, everyone can only watch everything happen! This is the feeling of despair and helplessness!"
"Do you understand this feeling now?" Martian Manhunter withdrew the images he had transmitted to Eric, asking him.
"Is this your ultimate question?" Eric looked up, staring at Martian Manhunter, and said, "I regret to say that the Death and destruction of your people cannot stir even a ripple of emotion in me."
Eric's expression grew colder, "Moreover, this future you worry about is merely an existence fantasized within your fear. It doesn't even make me want to comment."
Before Eric finished speaking, he fired Heat Vision at Martian Manhunter.
Martian Manhunter's combat strength is among the best in the Justice League; if his fear of fire were removed, he could even contend with Clark in his normal state.
But unfortunately, Eric, as the chosen one and a transmigrator, already knew the other party's weakness.
Whoosh!
Martian Manhunter's movement created a sudden gust of wind that swept in all directions.
Eric stood his ground, firing Heat Vision from his eyes, striking towards the direction the other party was moving.
As the most powerful Martian, Martian Manhunter possesses superpowers that are, in some aspects, similar to Eric's.
Super strength, super speed, super senses, and super durability, super defense.
In some ways, his abilities bear some resemblance to his own and Clark's.
This is probably also why he left the Justice League later, as his role somewhat overlapped with Clark's.
Eric's Heat Vision pursued the other party, but soon the other party's figure disappeared from his sight.
"Is it invisibility?" Eric frowned.
He knew that Martian Manhunter also had an invisibility ability.
He can make his body transparent by changing his molecular structure, losing the ability to reflect visible light.
He can also adjust the density of the structure to change the range of light transmission, allowing infrared and ultraviolet light to pass through, making him difficult to detect by optical detection equipment.
This trick should be as overpowered as his mind control ability.
Eric slowly flew upwards, trying to catch the other party's traces.
