| Origin |
| After
the genocide of the green Martian race at the hand of J'onn's brother Ma'alefa'ak
(Malefic), he wandered the Martian desserts for what may
have been centuries in a state of delusion. J'onn was teleported to Earth by
Professor Erdel, who was attempting to create an interstellar
communications device. Once on Earth J'onn used his shape shifting
abilities to assume the identity of a murdered police detective named John
Jones.
J'onn has assumed many identities
in his life on Earth. He has always been a protector of his adopted
planet, perhaps to compensate for the death of his own race on the planet
Mars. As a founding member and cornerstone of the Justice
League he has
fights against injustice as the Martian Manhunter.
