    All right, all right, yes, as a thousand of you have pointed out, J’onn says he both can’t and won’t read other Martians’ minds in “A Better World.” Didn’t think to include that. HAPPY?! 😘
    P.S. Dan Riba informs me that J. Allen Carter was in fact NOT named after those JSA members, but after J. Allen Haynek (UFOologist and “Close Encounters” advisor) and John Carter of Mars.

      I'd like to believe that as well. As refugees, they would not want to open themselves up to another invasion so they must have done everything in their power to stay hidden from the rest of the universe in order to rebuild their society in peace.
      Years later, inspired by the heroic feats of Martian Manhunter, they allow one of their best and brightest to train under earth's heroes in order to establish a relationship between planets while also gaining a hero of their own in the events of another castostrophic invasion.

Especially for martians trying to separate themselves from the war on Mars, and Martian Girl could simply be their scout to see the state of the planet Mars and other martian survivors. And after a while, she could go back to report her findings, then a group of martians who want to leave the isolation could decide to leave their hidden base on or near Saturn, and either return to living on Saturn, or (unlikely) start living on Earth, though living on Earth might only be allowed if all of them become superheroes, which (also) is unlikely.

And I suppose she’d end up being the only survivor or descendant of that group by present day? Something like that

    • @jamesbaxter5147
      @jamesbaxter5147 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      You can compound more lore by making it so *all* Saturnians developed stronger telepathic abilities. It explains how Martian Manhunter was unable to discover them prior, and makes great logical sense.
      When the Imperium first invades, a very small group of Saturnians, who’s telepathic abilities were strong enough to conceal their psychic presences, hide just long enough to survive, helped by the Martian Resistance (J’onn J’onzz) sealing the Imperium’s main forces on Mars. Isolated and low in number, any remaining Imperium drones occupying the Saturnians would be swiftly dealt with. It’s beautifully tragic, with the Martian’s sacrifice unintentionally saving their Saturnian kin.
      Traumatized, the remaining Saturnians became
      isolationist, going to great lengths to
      hide their civilization. They build deep underground, and prioritize the development of telepathic prowess as a culture, specifically the ability to conceal their psychic presence. Additionally, the survival of only the most adept telepaths would have created a genetic bottleneck, and the cultural selection for telepathic ability would further propagate inherent telepathic ability. All of that, as well as the use of any technological and natural shielding, radically transforms Saturnian civilization. After 1,000 years of it all, it’s no wonder why Martian Manhunter (and other telepaths) couldn’t discover them.
      M’gann, and the other Saturnians, would still be of the Martian Species when they end isolation (they might even be Green, still). Then, the next 1,000 years of intermingling with their neighbor species, Humans, once again drastically changes them. Saturnians would adopt many aspects of Human culture, including an infamous love for visual media. Then, many Saturnians take humanoid appearances when interacting with outsiders. And finally, some interbreed with Humans or other aliens. Hybrids, because they don’t have complete Martian physiology, can’t shapeshift. But, other powers, such as their telepathy, are inherited much more easily. Saturn Girl, thus, is likely one of these hybrids, who inherited her people’s strong telepathic abilities.
      I wish this was a thing.

  • @ToniBingi
    @ToniBingi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    Here's my idea for a backstory:
    Remember that J'onn left the League for a while at one point and lived among humans. When he returns, he's with a woman who's at least implied to be his lover.
    I don't know if this is true in the DCAU, but in Young Justice, M'gann explains that the reason she's able to provide a blood transfusion to a human is because her transformations occur on the molecular level.
    If J'onn's human form is human down to the molecualr level, who's to say he can't have a child with a human?
    And since there are no other examples of human-martian hybrids in the DCAU, we have no idea what effects J'onn's powers would have on the child.
    So basically, my idea is that Miss Martian is J'onn's half-human daughter, whose unique biology caused her to age faster than normal so she appears much older than she actually is. J'onn basically asked Batman to be his babysitter. :)
    Note: I'm only saying she's younger in YEARS. Physically, mentally and emotionally, she's a young adult.

    I think it would make sense for telepaths trying to use a shield to conceal their presence to avoid being detected and killed. And having multiple Martians putting up a shield could justify "overpowering" one single. That could open up to more survivors
    Or, in case of one single Martian, cutting off her own powers or trying to mask them somehow to avoid detection and danger

    The idea of Green Martians or Red Saturnians hiding on Saturn, using their mental powers to hide from Imperium Drones or White Martians/Saturnians could be a reason J'onn didn't notice them. Like, intentionally hiding from other people with similar psychic powers and all that

Would love to see her character and origin developed more within the DCAU animation and/or comics.

      It could be a situation where his telepathy has to be consciously activated or “turned on”, if you will. Think of this as opposed to telepathy being analogous to normal human hearing and consequently “always on”. My point is, in this situation even if J’onn possessed sufficient telepathic range and power; if he doesn’t know to be looking for a given individual, then he’s going to remain as blind to their existence as the rest of us.

    I think writing around this isn't too hard.
    If you had it where Saturn had a polarized psyonic field around it, where it let in psychic communications but not outward communication.
    So it would look dead to a telepath (you could say it was the rings of Saturn maybe but it broke up over time) they might have done this to protect themselves out of fear of being discovered or xenophobia. Or some other third thing.
    Maybe have it where they wanted to stay hidden but ma' gan didn't want to anymore.
    Maybe they stayed by themselves too long and got lonely. Festered in isolation and nearly wiped themselves out.

She could have been a civilian on Earth that ended up in the line of fire. With her life fading away and a hospital too far, J'onn would have no other choice but to shapeshift his blood to match her own. In time, the two of them would come to realize that she has powers that she didn't have before. J'onn would have no other choice to step up and teach her how to use her newfound powers...

    M'gann may be a descendant of a group that fled Mars generations ago to avoid persecution way before the invasion, just because the last generation on Mars were pacifists doesn't mean it had always been that way, every civilisation has a history.
    May it be unrest between white and green with white martians ultimately being whiped out or other issues that lead to these people fleeing their home planet, there would have been a lot of distrust towards main planet Martians.
    These people would've done everything in their power to avoid detection from Mars, so they would have created an effective way to shield their colony from Martian mind reading and they would have cut themselves off from the world to avoid being discovered.
    Meanwhile on Mars they would have quietly been erased from the history books as to not acknowledge the ugly parts of Martian history.
    Several generations later J'onn wouldn't know about their existence and his powers wouldn't be able to detect them either when he starts looking for survivors, until M'gann shows up.

    It could also be possible that the green Martians weren't as benevolent as they are depicted, and in the DCAU could have created one or two slave races that they used to mine material from Saturn, if it's one it could be the red race (Jem) but if its two it could be Red and White, allowing Jem (if you want to canonize him) and Megan. You can then say that after the green martians were wiped out, the reds and whites were left to there own devices, the whites did what whites do and declared them selves superior and enslaved the reds leading to war ( keeping the story fro the comics but tweking it for the DCAU) Which would allow Megan to keep her backstory from the comics, all be it tweaked to fit the DCAU. You can even go further by saying that in the future, the red and whites found peace and intermingled together with the reforges or immigrants from Exxor (The Wonder Twins Planet) which lead to Saturn Girls future race

    Well, there is one other, very very simple solution to the problem of M'gann M'orzz not being sensed, and it would give further parallels between superman and J'onn. She was in cryogenic (or the martian equivalent) sleep. No mind to reach out to if it's basically on ice. No neurons firing, no brainwaves to sense. She's basically dead at that point for all intents and purposes, and when she's woken up, her brain will restart, her heart will start beating again, and she'll be alive. Possibly even with enough of a small community that they could restart the martian presence on Mars, not unlike the situation in the Young Justice cartoon.
    In fact, those continuities could work alongside each other quite well because in the YA continuity, J'onn has been on earth for decades, and there's been superhero presence since at least the 1950s, as there are legacy characters all over. Dr. Kent Nelson, jay Garrick, etc. Granted, Batman couldn't be a thing there, but I'm of the opinion that Bruce has clones of himself in the basement so that he can always continue his mission xD
    At any rate, it's said in YA, that Megan is 48 earth years old in season 1, time enough for something to have happened on Mars, and even for M'gann to actually be J'onn's biological niece.
