After going through a slight clean up of the powers template, including adding refrences, I've run in to an issue or two...

I can see using the template as a basis for the Green and White Martians associated with Earth-One and New Earth. That's more or less straight forward. Where I start seeing problems though... A lot of these are common to "common powers" templates like Speed Force that we have in place - things that work for the "main" continuity but fall apart when applied outside of it. 
 * 1) Should there be a default note under the Martian Physiology listing that the listed powers are common to all Martians even if the character in question never exhibited them in their appearances?
 * 2) Since the references are drawn from Earth-One/New Earth appearances, is it OK to use as is for Prime Earth characters? At this point I'm assuming that the current version of J'onn is being kept consistent with the pre-Flashpoint version.
 * 3) Also with the refs, is it fair to use with characters from alternate comic book realities published after the Earth-One Martians first appeared? Along with this, I'm less than comfortable assigning the powers to the characters tagged as "Earth-Two", it seems a large backwards stretch.
 * 4) Should the template be set up to deal with the DCAU Martians? I'd like to do this so that the DCAU stories can be used to source the powers of those characters.
