This template provides a basic list of the powers and weaknesses possessed by Martians.

 

"weak=y" will place only the weaknesses. Without it, if a "Character" is specified, the template will limit itself to powers only.

The powers are listed in general alphabetic order by category. This is consistent with general practice on character pages. This may put some out of apparent order due to the terms used in the text.

Rough...

=Martian Physiology= Martian Physiology

Purpose
This template is essentially a quick way to both add a link to Category:Martian Physiology (where the power is described) and also include the article in the category. Further details on the applications of this power should be included on the Character's page.

Usage
An override term can be added if "Kryptonian Physiology" is inappropriate for the character. Category:Powers Templates

=Martian Powers=
 * : The average Martian possesses the following power set:
 * : Nine different senses.
 * : Eyesight which extends the visible spectrum, visual acuity, and allows sight through most objects and barriers. Martian Vision is also similar to Kryptonian in that it can cause combustible objects to explode.
 * : The ability defy gravity and fly through sheer force of will. This ability is psionic in nature, and functions similarly to tactile telekinesis.
 * : With the exception of fire, they are invulnerable to nearly all physical attacks. This is due primarily to their shape-shifting talents and the ability to increase the density of their molecular structure.
 * : Psionic control over their physical form, even down to the molecular level. As a form of shape-shifting, this power enables a Martian to contort their physical structure to adopt human form, elongate limbs, grow to immense size, and so on. They can also change the substance and material from which their body is made of. This allows them to produce weapons and clothing on ant type. They can maintain the selected form for an indeterminate amount of time without undue risk or strain. This ability allows for the folowing powers:
 * : The ability to decrease their molecular density to become incorporeal and thus able to pass through solid objects, as well as increase it to become tougher and stronger.
 * : The ability to bend light waves around their bodies, rendering them invisible to most forms of human detection. Through this byproduct of shape-shifting, they can also alter their body's temperature, allowing them to become invisible to most forms of electronic detection.
 * : The ability to rapidly heal wound, from minor cuts to regrowing lost limbs. This include the regrowth of major body parts such as the head, heart, or similar primary organs.
 * : Negating the need to consume food or drink. This also eliminates the need to produce waste.
 * : Either through flight or natural movement, they can maintain the speed and reflexes far in excess to that of a standard Earth human. This also allows:
 * : Their endurance is just as formidable as their strength or invulnerability. When not in the presence of fire, they can operate under extreme conditions for an indeterminate period of time without showing signs of fatigue. The exact range of this power is unknown. When in the presence of fire, this endurance diminishes greatly.
 * : While the exact range of magnitude of a Martian strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that their strength levels easily surpass the capacity to lift 100 tons. This ranks them in the same strength level as a Kryptonian under a yellow sun.
 * : The ability to read the minds of others and project their thoughts to varying degrees. They can also project their mental essences into a gestalt community known as the "Great Mind". Through this, the community can enhance the telepathic strength of other Martians. This power can also enable them to reverse the effects of amnesia or psychological brainwashing. A Martian's expertise with telepathy varies from Martian to Martian. Some Martians, such as J'onn J'onzz, can use their ability with such precision that they can extract repressed memories from a subject regardless of how dormant the memory may lie.
 * As an extension of their telepathic powers, they can also use the ability to alter a subject's psychological profile, enabling them to manipulate, and in some cases, outright control their chosen target. This practice is greatly discouraged however, and only rarely used.

Purpose
This template provides a basic list of the powers that Martians posses. Along with Martian Weaknesses it can give a basic description of Martians.

Usage
This template should be placed in the "Powers" section of the character template.

can be used to create an editable base for characters, such as J'onn J'onzz, who have power(s) listed on this template that need expanding or refining. Category:Powers Templates

=Martian Weaknesses=
 * : Martians are much more vulnerable to fire than the average Earth human. At times this has been portrayed as physical, psychological, or a combination of the two. The effect of this is to strip any Martian of their powers as they involuntarily lose control of their body.

Purpose
This template provides a basic list of the weaknesses that Martians posses. Along with Martian Powers it can give a basic description of of Martians.
