Synopsis for Martian Manhunter: "The Lost Identity"

After John Jones assumes his Martian identity to invisibly catch a gang of crooks, he discovers that he can no longer resume his human form. He deduces that the robot brain of Dr. Erdel's which teleported him to Earth may be responsible, and discovers that the computer, which was taken to a museum, has been stolen and tampered with by the Hanshaw Gang. J'onzz's presence is revealed to Hanshaw, and the Martian pretends to aid him in a robbery until he discovers just which computer controls Hanshaw has tampered with. Then he captures Hanshaw and his cohorts, restores himself to normalcy through the computer controls, and resets the machine to prevent it from having any effect on him. When another officer tells John Jones that the Hanshaw Gang claims a Martian captured them, Jones laughs it off.
