Synopsis for Martian Manhunter: "The Last Days of J'onn J'onzz"

A gang of animal-shaped robots, directed by hoodlums concealed inside, ravage Middletown with robberies. When John Jones becomes the Martian Manhunter to combat them, he finds his powers mysteriously sapped. J'onzz has Diane Meade drive him to the source of his weakness, which turns out to be a crashed meteorite. Nothing the Martian can do staunches the power-sapping rays of the meteorite, and, the next time he assumes his J'onzz identity, he is so weakened that he realizes he must remain as John Jones, or die. The master of the criminal "animals" makes a mass raid on Middletown, feeling himself safe from attack by the Martian. But Jones learns that the meteorite has burned itself out. Thus, he safely becomes J'onn J'onzz again, and defeats the crooks.
