Centuries ago on the planet Ma'aleca'andra, the Green Martians known as M'yrnn and Sha'sheen gave birth to twin sons. The bearing of twins was uncommon among the Martian culture, and as such, the first of the twins was named J'onn J'onzz, whose name means "Light to the Light." J'onn's brother, however, was born a mutant, bereft of a Martian's innate ability to communicate telepathically. He was named Ma'alefa'ak, whose name means "Darkness in the Heart." As an adult, J'onn became a Manhunter...

Abilities

On Mars, everyone had to fulfill dual roles and J'onn, apart from a Manhunter, was a philosopher, adept in such high concepts as the Algebra of Ethics and the Life Equation. The Martian Manhunter's particularly astute reasoning capabilities and long-term association...

The Manhunter is more vulnerable in this form and can take damage in this vulnerable state. 2. Chocoholism: It has also been suggested that something within J'onn's physiology ma...
