Who is Martian Manhunter?

J'onn J'onzz, the last survivor of Mars, was accidentally transported to Earth by a scientist's experimental device. Stranded on an alien world, he uses his vast telepathic and shape-shifting abilities to protect humanity as a core member of the Justice League.

Few characters carry the weight of DC's cosmic mythology quite like Martian Manhunter, whose catalog presence here traces back to a 1997 debut in DC / Marvel #9, brought to the page by Ron Marz, Frank Neubauer, and Jackson Guice in what stands as a collector-significant key issue. Published under Dino Verlag, this Modern Age incarnation of the brooding green guardian has persisted across a remarkable 28-year span, turning up in prestigious company — sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Flash, and Green Lantern across titles including Crisis on Infinite Earths and Batman / Superman: World's Finest. It's a lean but distinguished catalog footprint, and for fans who appreciate a character defined by gravity and grandeur rubbing shoulders with DC's absolute finest, Martian Manhunter is absolutely worth seeking out.
