FINALLY. A finished Martian Manhunter design. X3

If it were up to me, J'onn would primarily rely on his shape-shifting abilities in combat rather than his other powers. They were on a great track in Justice League: Doom - having Martian shift into different forms deriving from his homeworld's animal kingdom. Whut? Alien animals? Hecks yes, I approve.

He's looking pretty genderless here, mostly because I'm still mulling over the character's sex. ... Huh. Genderless might be interesting. 8P

I'm... I'm very tired. I dunno what else to type. xD

Looks cool! I agree on him relying more on his shape-shifting abilities!

Cool idea.

This is a pretty awesome take on J'onn and I'm glad to see someone else agrees that he should have been focused differently! A lot of the JLA is very similar in powerset and it would've been cool to see a bit more variance.

Absolutely! Shapeshifting is a magnificent power. Alien zoology mixed into that is just... show-stealing. Martian deserves more individuality.

It really is neat! And they have cool shapeshifter characters so it's not like they lack precedent. Chameleon Boy is a great superhero shapeshifter.

I'd love to see more diversity in the JLA beyond "super strength, flight, x-ray vision, and laser beams from the eyes." The only one that really fits outside the mold is the Flash! This would be a fantastic road to take J'onn if they pursued it!

This is ridiculously awesome.
And you know, he's technically always naked - pretty sure his clothes are just part of his body ;)

Usually in the animated versions, J'onn is always turning into some kind of animal, whether it's a dragon or some ogre-like creature, but to me, I think it would make more sense if he were to make better use of his shape-shifting. Stretch portions of his body, grow a third or fourth arm, etc.

Anyway, I love this.

It looks really good;) and i totally agree with your view of him, he schould use shapeshifting primary, otherwise he would just be a green Superman
