J'onn J'onzz - the Martian Manhunter...he's more powerful than Superman. More powerful than the whole Justice League combined. So, so many superpowers. I can't figure out something eloquent to put here for the video description. I'm so tired. This video took so long to edit. Comic Con wore me out. Please help. Goodnight.

Remember in the comics when he got addicted to Oreos and became evil because of them. Good times
Please tell me more.
Huh?! 😳
Ok then.

@@Motorata661 so in other words he turned into the Hulk
Yeah fire is everyone's weakness it's fucking fire
Hellfire
Robot chicken 😅😅😅
I like how it was described at one point as "allergic to fire" - he's more vulnerable to fire then most
Not Batman because he's Batman 🙂
@@rayburks7059 Boo
He was charging up DBZ style and forgot he was in a different show. So he fell over in shame. CLEARLY.
Martian Manhunter: "THIS IS TO GO FURTHER BE- Oh wait wrong show *Falls in humiliation *
Boi is thinking he's Piccolo
God, your underrated
Manhunter Clark kent is a sayajinn just like goku and sayajinns or sayajinnis absorb energy from sun and they have heat vision cold breath fire breath etc 😏
and they exist in our world see for yourself 😎
I think that the blue force field thing is a visual representation of J'onn altering his density, as opposed to lowering it to phase, he is heightening it to block laser blasts. And he used it to fight Doomsday because Doomsday is so strong.
I hereby dub it the "anti-schwoop."
I thought it was a telepathic force field that's one of his powers in the comics
I also think he change his density.
If you play Justice League on play station 2 his telepathic attacks are blue and in the comics he has used a blue or clear telepathic force shield
Two words... "Energy absorption." Watch the video again and it'll make sense. As for his Doppleganger from another dimension, I suspect it was the exact opposite and he was expelling energy as it was referred to as "like some dragon ball power up or something"
Wouldn’t it make sense that J’onn can breathe underwater because he can shape-shift a pair of gills? Would explain why he almost drowned when he couldn’t access his powers. Also, I always thought his abilities derived from his psychic powers. So strength, toughness, speed- all part and parcel of his telekinesis.
Yeah.
In Young Justice series,.. I've seen Miss Martian shape shift pair of her legs into a fish tail... & webbed hands to adapted in underwater.
Yeah I assumed that too like he's already super strong but uses his mental powers to Amp himself even further and that's what puts him near superman level.
Martian man hunger is by far the most underrated justice leaguer
Winston Shih he is one of my favs he could take down Superman
Indeed XD
@@PitchBlackLaser "man hunger"? No, he's called John Jones "the Manhunter" from Mars. His name on Mars is J'onn J'onzz, which is basically a weird Mars version of John Jones.
nah, this martian has a hunger for oreos!
How is he underrated? He's been a fan favorite character since the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline.
Please cover the power inconsistency of Superman throughout the DCAU. It always bothered me as a kid.
I don't remember any... he was always very strong but could not take much of a punch while the impact was still fresh... but he could take many punches over time... except for that last episode where he specifically said that he would let loose because darkside could take it...
I don't see much of an inconsistency there... in other words he just always had to hold back... except when he was drained in some way already...
I agree his power was all over the place! That still drives me nuts
It just became shorthand for this dude is really strong because look what he did to superman. Poor clark.
Batman legit picked up Superman and threw him like WHAT
The inconsistencies are less in Superman and more in... everybody else. Characters that should be able to hold their own aren’t able to, the best example being Captain Marvel who got stomped, when he should be on the same level as Superman in strength, and possibly a bit faster. And don’t say it’s because Billy was less experienced, Courage of Achilles and Wisdom of Solomon gives him experience.
If I become a superhero I want to be called schwoop
Zachary Morales call me nyoom
idkwhattocallmeself i wanna be called nyoink
I hope none of you becomes a superhero
Portgas D Ann so do we
Da best name!
5:27 I always assumed that he didnt wear the spacesuit to breathe, instead he wears it to survive in the vacuum of space. The suit is probably designed to accommodate any leaguer so Id imagine it has an air supply, he just wouldnt NEED to use it.
I figured Mars used to have more atmosphere than it has now. Like we're looking at the martian ruins. That's a common enough trope, since everyone's always going on about all the ice it has, which suggests prior liquid water.
I mean you could just say he needs OTHER gases, like if he was Venusian he might breathe CO2 like a plant, but... Mars doesn't have much atmosphere at all, at present. Still maybe he requires that tiny amount of whatever it is.
About the suit J'onn needs in space, maybe he needs it because
a) The cold (it has about -280°C in space)
b) Radiation (of surrounding suns or something)
Mars has pretty much no atmosphere which both means it's constantly bombarded with radiation (admittedly our sun's non ionising radiation, but i doubt he would need a space suit on say Krypton), and it's mad cold on Mars
-280 ℃ is not possible. The coldest possible temperature is 0 K which is -273.15 ℃
@@brauljo That's why I said about
@@jetpackblues9193 273.15 rounds to 270, not 280
As another commenter said, I always assumed the blue field was him increasing his density. I feel like there was another time he uses it that you didn't show, where he phased through a punch, then puts up the field and tanks a second punch (much like in the Etrigan fight), but I'm probably mistaken as you're the one who just watched like, every episode ever for the zillionth time.
I Also thought that blue field was him changing density. Idk
I'm leaning more towards energy absorption. Hence how he just eats a laser blast (not well but still eats it)
Many of Jon's powers are loosely grouped under the *Total Body Control* power. He can literally control every cell in his body. That's how he can morph, elongate, increase and decrease his size (and density) as well as several other powers. Flight may be related, but never explained. They clearly toned it down as in the comics, Jon routinely spends much time in space or underwater without special gear. I guess they didn't put it in the Justice League cartoons, but he also has stupid levels of regeneration. That's why his weakness is not *Fire* but his *Pyrophobia* (Fear of Fire). He should be able to almost instantly regenerate normal burns.
Of course, the exception is that one time he was injected with a chemical that literally set his blood on fire in a way that could not be extinguished normally. A little concoction Batman created in case Jon ever got out of control and had to be stopped. Too bad someone else stole Batman's files and learned all of his anti-League measures he had invented.
Those are some nice file there bat... it be ashame if they...GOT DELETED!
This video is fricking amazing. 10/10 humor. But literally the Martian manhunter, j'onn j'onns is crazy OP. But he is absolutely amazing and I love him to bits. He is soooooo underrated!! But, I gotta admit he doesn't use his powers right. If he were smarter with his abilities, he could probably beat almost everyone in the dcu.
No he cant beat amazo
@@lisatrappedmeinygsbasement848 phase through him
The writers bro with their own said mind I think he beats supes he can become intangible he so powerful they gotta need him so they can show supes as the poster boy I think he’s top 3 fs
I think the blue power might be him increasing his density

Sofa King Accurate
No its clearly a tk force field

Makes him invulnerable.

Justice League
My favorite character of all time, I remember as a kid (and still now) this show is my favorite of all time. I really wish he wasn't underrated and hope he gets a movie
He may seem too powerful, but we need a race to establish Kyptonians aren't the ONLY aliens around with fantastic powers!
its not the fantastic powers, the dude just came from a planet with a much higher gravity then earth which is why he can fly. Doesn't explain why he is effected by kryptonite
Eric Johnson well no, kryptonians have those powers, but they just can’t use them on krypton because of the red son, I’m pretty sure they weren’t from krypton and were kind of like a colonizing species, which settled on krypton to keep them from fighting each other with their powers, could be wrong or it could just be something I subconsciously came up with but I remember it from somewhere
John's blue energy thing was likely density manipulation shifting to higher density. I think he did the same thing to dive through a plane in The Savage Time. Unlike shapeshifting into a superdense stone, which seems to have... startup and end lag, to use gaming terms, increasing his density via the blue thing also allows him to actually move. I assume the stone is more dense and invulnerable, but less practical.
Yeah it's hard to draw someone going _more opaque_ than normal
I seem to remember the guy in Mutant X with that power would turn sorta rocky when he became more dense? It's a difficult power to illustrate without a little expositional text box
@@KairuHakubi
I guess a more obvious visual change would be to make him look buffer, to imply he's squeezing his muscles as hard as he can to harden them, but that would need a lineart change, so the blue glowy thing is more practical from an animation perspective.
@@yocapo32 Oh yeah I suppose if it's a biological power, it could be represented by flexing. kinda like Gurd's time-stop power requiring him to hold his breath.
I just assumed the blue aura was him going Super Martian Super God Martian (see what I did there) but honestly it probably was just a telekinetic shield before they opted to removes his telekinesis
Also Static exploited his electricity weakness with the brainiac takeover thing
ha noob its
Super Martian God Super Martian
I hope we'll get a Martian Manhunter movie one day, he is sooo nerf on Supergirl.
I think there was a point in Supergirl where multiple episodes in a row he couldn't use his telepathy because... Strange reasons I can't remember
One of the reasons he’s weaker in Supergirl is because of the budget for special effects. He requires a lot of effects to make himself and his abilities look good. Supergirl doesn’t require any effects aside from flying and the occasional heat vision and super breath
Juan Pedro who should play him? I would say Trevante Rhodes but I want him to be John Stuart.
Hell yes
@@manof2moro to me he is very powerful but holds back a lot
He can also sing.
Pretty enjoyable video. Definitely grew up on DC and always found MM interesting and both over powered and underrated which made him even more interesting to me. Again great video.
I kinda always thought of the space suit/diving suit inconsistency as a matter of the simple concept of: Comfort, and energy conservation. Could a character that has been shown to do it survive in space without a suit? Perhaps/yes/probably. Would it be comfortable for them when they could toss on a protective suit, and not have to bother with all of that when there is no real reason or gain for it? Plus to hang out in space probably does take more effort than say hanging out on the surface of a habitable planet, so I dare say it thus makes logical sense to, if the option is there: Toss on a space suit when in outer space. It's more comfy, and it saves you energy. As a bonus point: Even superpowered individuals are probably not keen to just be in outer space with no protection on a whim because of all the dangers that come with being out there, so if they have the option, they probably don't feel like taking the risk if potential for alternative options exist.
GOD, I LOVE HOW YOU ANALYZE "EVERYTHING". Great video
Can I just say, MM is NOT weak against fire. It is a phobia. He is scared of it. So in the Justice League animated show he shouldn't physically get hurt by it. But I still love the video cause Martian Manhunter is my favourite hero ever.
Who's here after watching Zack Snyder's Justice League!?
‼️‼️‼️
TH-cam: Watchtower Database has uploaded a new video. Me: Don't tell me, just make it play... MAKE IT PLAY NOW TH-cam!!! Fan4Lyfe
I imagine the blue aura manifests when he is under stress/fear, as it seems to only happen when he is an extremely dangerous situation. Getting shot point blank, trying to defend a teammate against multiple lasers, and especially fighting Doomsday are terrifying and stressful situations. I would phrase it as an unconscious defense mechanism that increases his durability slightly, hence why it still does damage, but it doesn't go right through him. Sort of like a weak psionic barrier basically. Just my observation though.
I think he was wearing the suit not because he needed oxygen, but because space is to harsh of an environment for this Martian manhunter. There’s radiation, pressure, and the freezing temperature of space. Even if he could survive all of that, he might of just needed to wear it because of the communication radios, even though he could’ve just talked using telepathy, but this version of MM doesn’t use his telepathy as a main source of communication. He uses his telepathy more as a locator, and an interrogation tool.
Everyone keeps acting like he didn't come from Mars
In Supergirl, J'onn is called Manhunter because on Mars, that is what they called their police force
Ohhhhh, that makes sense!
I mean, you could count down his powers to just psychic abilities and shapeshifting to explain all of his powers. It's not that he can fly, he just uses telekinesis to levitate and "fly". He doesn't have speed and super strenght, he just alters his density so that he can move lighter and faster, and then just harden his fists to deal the blow, and so on.
Great video and analysis.
It's conceivable Mars had a denser atmosphere ages ago. The green Martian civilization is supposed to have been eradicated centuries or millennia (iir?) prior to the start of the series. Otoh, flashbacks appear to depict J'onn breathing semi-normally after whatever the cataclysm was the white Martians unleashed.
I think telepathic assault should be called mind ripping
Mind raping
@@loltrqll that's like calling any physcial attacks rape.
@@cameoshadowness7757
Mind diddling?
@@Error0101 mind diddling? What? Still really far from it...
I think telepathic sense with GL maybe also has to do with how much he's connected to the person. He doesn't know Question very well but GL he's known since the first episode.
Being a scientist IS A SUPERPOWER in comics. Ask tony stark, hank pym, T-challa (he dropped thanos with a device he made on the spot), doctor doom, or the almighty Reed Richards who can accomplish some almost doctor strange like powers when given the time, like dimensional travel, time travel, extreme weapon production, etc.
Yeah . Genius level intelligence is one
Their are trees in the backyround of the Mars flashbacks. Clearly it was more habitable and possibly had a significant atmosphere.
Martian man hunter almost become a super Martian in the first episodes? Lol but he is more powerful than Superman
theory about the blue glow It goes under the category of density shifting, as the laser would have penetrated john and hit batman he increased his density to block the laser.
Well the DCAU definitely nerfed him especially in the first two seasons of JL. As a kid I remembered him as the guy who always gets a huge headache whenever he uses his telepathy (memory’s a bit hazy but I remember the scene from starcrossed the most) only to later earn how powerful he was. Looking back the closest he’s shown to be at the strength he usually is was from Destroyer in China.
I mean, it makes sense that he'd get a headache from reading a few hundred thousand people's minds after a couple centuries of complete isolation. Guy's a bit rusty.
I always think Martian Manhunter need his own Villains,the Majorty being Psionic like him. He known Psy Judo,Making him Best to Fight Other Psionics.
Shape changing would literally mean he could change his shape like he could turn into a hexagon if he wants
J'onn was so nerfed in JLU that him getting his ass kicked became a running joke when I was rewatching with my roommate recently "J'onn's down, time for act 2"
5:26 Technically you can breath in space. Despite the common belief space is NOT a perfect vacuum. That is why we can detect / see nebulas that are "concentrated" clouds of gas in space. If you have enough strength to create a vacuum stronger than the vacuum of space in your lungs you will "breath".
Another thing is do you know what he actually breaths? You said that mar atmosphere is 0.1% oxygen so it probably means he doesn't need it or very little of it.
Mars’s atmosphere was definitely different in the past. Scientists are pretty sure about that. We can’t just go by what it looks like today. Just how much did it have in the past, I don’t know, but it’s now believed that much of the atmosphere escaped into space. As far as I know, they’re not sure how it became the way it is, but evidence today shows river fossils meaning Mars had water at dome point. There’s no magnetosphere now, but for organic life as we know it, there had to have been one.
He might breathe carbon dioxide, which is abundant on mars
2:20 I totally agree with this
"You? Pfft. You're nothing but a scientist"
6:43 it's almost ilogic. The significant factor is.. because Mars's gravity is lighter than Earth's gravity. So.. if Martians come to earth, their weight increased.
How is it possible to have super speed when you gain weight?
Other factor.. Earth's atmospheric pressure is greater than Mars' atmospheric pressure. So it should be.. Martians will feel turbulence in every move.
We see him use his "blue force field thing" a couple of times(ie, when he's using it against the jet transports in "The Savage Time Part III"), and I think it's supposed to augment his physical strength/density, making him harder to harm. True, the White Martian's weapons can still hurt, but he gets right back up in under a minute.
Check out our interview with Rich Fogel for the answer!
Where did you see White Martians in the show?
@@GabePuratekuta In the two-parter pilot. True, they aren't native Martians, but they're obviously inspired by the White Martians from the comics.
J'onn has always been one of my favorite characters. The guy is so underrated
As a scientist I can confirm none of this makes any sense it’s a cartoon add that to the list of the things that makes you mad
Thank you for this! It's a very thorough list. Heck, I completely forgot about that blue power J'onn demonstrates in a few episodes of the series. Also, I do like the fact that you demonstrated that fire wasn't akin to kryptonite for Martians. It just seemed more of a general "fire is bad for him because it's bad for everyone." However, one criticism I do have with this video is that you could have shown J'onn's durability more since in The Savage Time Part III, he removed a jet's engine while the afterburner was blasting him in the face. That's quite a feat that I see often get overlooked.
Thanks! True, though. He’s pretty tough.
I remember being so hyped when J'Onn came back in that scene along the Great Wall of China, him being a red dragon instead of green one threw me off for sure!
Martian Manhunter is my favorite comic Character.
What the Martian Manhunter has is an incredibly powerful and well trained psyche, giving him extraordinary Psychic powers which includes Mind scanning, Telepathy, Empathy, Mind Control, Thought and Memory Manipulation, Psychic Identification, Creating Mental Illusions, creating and maintaining Mind Links, Clairsentience (clairvoyance, clairaudience, precognition, and retrocognition), Psychokinesis (Telekinesis, Cryokinesis, Pyrokinesis -usually used in the form of heat vision), a Mental Attack which can stun, calm, or shut down most lesser minds with pain, or just put them to sleep, and most importantly and dramatic, his ability to control and manipulate every single molecule of his own body as he pleases at the speed of heightened Martian thought.
J'ohn J'onz also is a highly trained detective as well as being trained in a dozen other professions (law, business, medicine, biologist, chemist, engineer, computer scientist, linguist, and others, having had centuries to hone and learn his skills. He speaks hundreds of languages and dialects, and can mimic them perfectly. He has an eidetic memory and total recall, except where he has or others have installed mental blocks, and an exceptional intellect. He has recently been given the entire ancestral memory of the Martian Race to hold within his mind in perpetuity.
This total cellular control allows the Martian Manhunter to mimic a whole lot of powers such as shape shifting, molecular alteration, growth, shrink, stretch, change his vocal range, intangibility, density control, invisibility, flight (with help from telekinesis), and regeneration.
Thru manipulation of his internal structure, the Martian Manhunter can create condensed air which can then be compressed and expelled with great force, and thru his cryokinesis, it can even be made freezing, thus the Martian Manhunter has super breath similar to Superman.
As long as one cell remains unharmed he can regenerate his entire body, making him practically immortal, ageless, and immune to almost every disease, toxins, acids, bacteria viruses, venom, and poison.
He can adapt his eyes to be able to see in all of the electromagnetic spectrum, even discerning the microscopic, and a great telescopic ability. Similarly he can adapt his other senses to a heightened degree to discern far greater than any human and equal to the best that is attainable by other animal species.
This complete control of his cells also makes him able to sustain himself in a vacuum, underwater, in most any hazardous environments, or pressure, as he can change not only outward appearance, but his actual insides as well to conform to his needs, and this also gives him great amounts of stamina. He can absorb and shift attacks around damaged areas for healthy ones, phase his molecules thru incoming damage, or harden himself to deflect damage as needed, on different prats of his body at the same time. This and his constant and rapid regeneration gives him the appearance of being invulnerable. It has been demonstrated that forcing himself to become exceedingly dense to ward of the more damaging blows, takes a great deal of concentration and so he cannot hold this up for very long, typically he only uses it in small areas of his body for a short time to deflect the damage, but not over sustained time.
Thru hardening of his body, and no upper tolerance to tear muscle, or break bones thru his total cellular control, and control of the gravity and magnetic hold on his body thru his psychic powers, the Martian Manhunter can produce extraordinary feats of strength and speed unmatched by any but the strongest and fastest other superhumans such as Superman and his kin, The Flash and other super speedsters, Wonder Woman, and a few others. He can fly nearly as fast as Superman, and as fast as the Flash before he puts in his best effort. He can casually lift 100 tons, but there is no upper limit, given concentration and his own will power, and he can be as strong as a fully powered Kryptonian.
His seeming weakness to fire is psychological not physical, so it doesn't actually damage him but it interferes with his ability to concentrate and thus use his powers. He has of late, thru long and difficult study and meditation, gotten over this fear unless it is also coincidental with other mentally traumatizing factors.
To simplify things, the Martian Manhunter can do pretty much any Psychic Power and any power which is possible thru the control and manipulation of his won molecules, or the mixture of the two.
Not completely sure, but I think I got everything.
amazing that you can write this much 👏
8:02
Look into my eyes...your soul is tainted with the blood of the innocent, feel their pain!
An episode of JL/JLU never goes by without seeing MM get shocked or something like that 😂😂😂
He never uses the blue again cause he found out that shit don't work
Martian Manhunter, Dr. Fate, Black Lightning, Hawkman, Red Tornado should be introduce in DCEU.
Well a producer wants him to make an appearance post JL
I love that James calls this episode boring and contrived but it's one of the most interesting episodes to me 😂
I do wonder where clock king got the martain manhunter name from in universe. Maybe that's the name used on all his merchandise.
Perhaps the reason why MM has a space suit in “In Blackest Night” is to feel the same and indifferent to the rest of the members. It’s weird seeing Superman have a space suit, but MM just standing there without any protective gear.
His power is nicely summed up with it being something like cellular/atomic manipulation. He can change the makeup of his body at a tiny level, but extreme amounts of energy, like fire and electricity, would mess with his control over it.
I think the reason he can survive in water but not in space is because he just requires O2 which is found in our air and in water (H20). Meaning his body probably can make a chemical reaction that can separate the O2 from the H in the a water molecule.
Meanwhile space is just space. It has little to no gases.
Mars' atmosphere is 95% CO2, maybe that's what J'onn needs to breathe, either that or the 2% N2 or 0.14% O2? Not to mention that Mars has an atmospheric pressure of just 0.006 atm, that's 0.6% of Earth's atmospheric pressure, basically Mars has almost no atmosphere lol
What is this guy breathing?
On earth the atmosphere is 78% N2, 20% O2 and like 0.1 ppm CO2 ....so it's hard to say what he breathes, if he breathes at all.
It's likely he uses the spacesuit for comfort reasons, since 0.006 atm of pressure is what he's used to feeling, and in space there's basically 0 atm pressure, which would maybe cause some discomfort.
Just like if i put you in a vacuum chamber at 6 times less atmospheric pressure even with an air mask on, your body would not feel that good under low pressure, your skin is simply used to feeling 1 atm of pressure against it.
Now, J'onn seems to not mind the 166 times stronger pressure of Earth's atmosphere though.....so this is just an inconsistency in the writing team..
6:13 local scientist and dcau fanboy here. Perhaps maritans need very litte oxgen. Just saying..
That blue aura thing is probably him increasing his density instead instead of phasing like phasing in reverse
Check out our interviews with writer Rich Fogel, he tells us the answer!
I love that word schwooping. That's so schway.
Kontrol Zee your not the only one cursed with knowledge
3:09 I swear the same image shows up in Batman Beyond as that dad that was buried by his coworker (business co-owner). The episode that you can tell wanted to do a zombie story
Haha it's rather similar
I had always assumed the "glowing blue thing" as a visual way to show when John jacks UP his density - a reverse use of the intangibility power.
At this point, i think Cap Marvel could take him out with her photon blasts. Which would be like flame throwers to Martian MH.
Martian Manhunter can't stop me. I'll just turn a lighter on.
I always thought J'onn just knocked that guy out. He grabs him, does his glowy eyes thing and the guys like "Ok sleepytime"
I like to think Green Martians are highly flammable. J'onn seems capable of breathing underwater except for when his powers were disabled by that helmet thingy, so it might have been his shape-changing powers allowing him to breathe underwater like Aquaman. Mars is shown in flashbacks thousands of years ago with buildings & plant life, but the way we know it in modern times. Space suits don't just give you oxygen, but keep you pressurized and cool, because the vacuum of space is the perfect insulator. Combine that with body heat and exposure to sunlight and J'onn might explode unless maybe he was constantly invisible and schwooping while in space or something, but I'm not a scientist.
8:02 is the funniest part 😂
ah yes, blue thing. the power every nine year old would pretend to have at recess
You can call it "Ghost form" instead of "Shwoozing" right?
*He’s a phantom*
@@SimplyHawa ayt.
I think the blue force field thing was supposed to be him increasing his density. Like the opposite of the intangibility power. Like what Vision from Marvel comics can do.
edit: Never mind, got further into the video. I don't think its increasing density anymore
second edit: I do think it was density increasing for Justice Lord J'onn. So overall, maybe blue thing is him increasing his density.
im assuming you thought maybe it wasnt density increasing when other j'onn used it offensively, but increasing your density would also allow you to hit harder with the same velocity.
just imagine a balloon hitting you at 5mph and a rock of the same size hitting you at that speed.
@@NTTofMistery Thats the one where I thought it was increasing density. The one that tripped me up is the second time he used it to shield someone. It looked like the aura extended too far. That one might not be increasing density.
When J'onn mentioned Kilowog's physiology, he likely meant like, his organ placement in his default form.
Like pigs and humans have very similar physiology but there's a lot that sets us apart.
John Jones from Mars is not too powerful, he's just right powerful.
1. Telepathy,
2. shapeshifting (abiopolymorphic polyanthroposhifters),
3. flying,
4. super strength,
5. super durability,
6. intangibility,
7. Metal mimicry
8. Blue force field thing (apparently requires much energy to do).
.
There.
Martians > Kryptonians
There, I said it.
Its funny as a kid i always remembered jonn and superman being super weak in justice league but rewatching he was still very powerful but the writers just nerfed them so the story wouldn't end in 2 seconds.
Who is here after watching Justice League cut 2021
5:30. Lobo in STAS literally TALKS in the vacuum of space, which means he must be breathing. Unless he's some kind of telepath and only make it look like he's talking to mess with Superman, but that's doubtful.
Johns weakness to fire isn’t physical but mental
In the comic series Kingdom Come they reduced his appearance to a cameo since he was considered the 3rd Superman and would upset the balance of power. Much like Captain Marvel, they completely de-powered him to a fraction of his former self.
@@navbuoyOh, yeah, his mind got broken for reading the world's population there.
Depends on the version of the character. They've switched it around.
*13:08*
Ohhhh! I love that!
@@dcauwatchtower I do too!
I remember reading about the history of Shazam a.k.a Captain Marvel and how DC pretty much destroyed the company that made him because at one point his popularity surpassed that of superman's which was a big threat to the company. I remember seeing a side comment saying, "it's similar to how they shackled the Martian Man-hunter because he's more powerful than superman. At the time I didn't understand (or even know who Martian man-hunter was) but now I do. Superman is their flagship hero, he is the symbol of DC comics, having a hero that out shines him in every aspect would be bad for the company.
Isn't martian Manhunter part of DC comics... People will still remember superman but it would be more money for the company to hwvr heroes as popular as Superman
Actually that wasn't a stone. He transmuted into silver, a metal that repels demons due to reputed holy properties. It's one of the main weaknesses of demons along with special herbs (those herbs your grandma uses, like rosemary, repel demons when burned as incense) and holy areas.
I'm assuming the blue field is an energy dampening psychic shield. Or an increase in density
For the blue aura, check out our interviews with JL writer Rich Fogel, he answers what it is! But as for the silver, I’ve never thought of it that way and that’s incredible.
*schwooping* really? nice choice of words ! lol
Perhaps J'onn being able to breath on mars, despite so little oxygen on mars is because J'onn doesn't breathe oxygen. Could instead be breathing carbon dioxide seeing how there's plenty of that on mars, and plenty of it on earth too.
That makes him a tree. So he is grass-type!
What if he doesn't need the space suit to survive, he's just wearing it for the walky-talky aspect since there's no sound in space?
Why would he need a walkie talkie when he's a telepath?
MM can breathe underwater because he can shape-change some gills into his body, when his powers are working.
Good to see you again James!
Only kind of a scientist here, but combustion only requires a fuel source and an oxidizer (which may not necessarily be gaseous oxygen per se). Certain non-oxygen elements, e.g. the halogens, or compounds that also strip electrons off from the fuel, thus oxidizing it, can be oxidizers. Oxidizers can be semi-solid in form and premixed with the fuel such that, when brought to ignition temperature, will be capable of the chemical process of combustion even in the absence of gaseous oxygen. This is pretty much how many explosives work. What's key is the exothermic reaction releasing those normal combustion byproducts like water and CO2, or whatever the oxidized fuel result may be.
Everytime i hear someone say "Superman is too OP" im like what about Martian Manhunter he is arguably even more powerful than Superman.
I always assumes blue thing was some kinda inverse phasing trying to increase his mass. Since like said blast took him down anyways. Self sacrifice body block.
The blue forcefield is him becoming more dense: they just forget he has it because writing lol. I believe his stone form is simply the densest he can go, and he probably doesn't use it much since he's immobile in that form.
Him being gaseous is just more shapeshifting.
And the electric rod thing that disrupted his phasing can be explained as 'super tech' since it was made by the Ultra Humanite who is a genius. I doubt it used regular electricity, same as Vandal Savage's glove thing and the alien spaceship.
The first time he used the blue shield thing one could argue it was just weaker because he was still recovering from his imprisonment
True!
I really like this video, gives you a really specific picture of what the character can do. And this is from a guy who's watched JL tons of times. It's just tough to put it all together in your head like this with so much other information coming at you.
On God, I gotta see this vid everyday, very informative but hilarious af
J'oon has potential to matter of his body and mind to a super level or mega level he has used this when he took over the Jokers brain but he nearly lost control he had to be flexible with regards to the Joker but he didn't have a problem with Darkside well at first, he can't abuse his mental powers there are limits it could backfire and his own body will weaken if he is in space for to long the cosmic rays of space can effectively be a deadly even him but he can change his body into a solid state that he can survive in space but that can come at a price to his head and heart like all he has limits but he is evolving all the the time.
The lonely Martians he is green and has fantastic powers but many are a mystery?
6:10 well in the shot you show there’s trees and plant life on the planet so maybe it has more oxygen?
