J'onn J'onzz (Justice League Pilot)

At some point after arriving on earth, he begins locating humans with extraordinary powers, founding a group called the Justice League. The members include himself using the alias Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Flash, Atom and Fire. When the terrorist, Weatherman begins attacking New Metro by manipulating the weather, J'onn uses his shapeshifting powers to impersonates a meteorologist named Dr. Eno in order to investigate. The JLA comes to believe it's a new metahuman cryokinetic named Tori Olafsdotter, but soon determine that she's innocent. When Fire's identity is in danger of being exposed by her co-worker, J'onn arrives on the scene disguised as Fire, claiming to know B.B. as a close friend and to have been lent the earrings. Weatherman discovers the JLA's headquarters and heats it up in an attempt to kill the JLA, but all of them escape except for Martian Manhunter, who is unaffected by the heat. They soon discover that the disaster was created by Dr. Eno. While Tori stops Weatherman from destroying the city with a tidal wave, Weatherman is Apprehended. J'onn and the other heroes offer Tori a costume and offer to let her join the team. She agrees and begins to use the codename "Ice".

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Martian Physiology: The average Martian possesses the potential for the following power set:

  - Size Alteration: As an extension of their shape-shifting abilities, Martians can easily alter their size, shrinking or growing to gigantic size.^[1]
- Invisibility: Martians can cause the biopolymers in their bodies to lose their ability to reflect light, making the Martians invisible to normal light and human sight.^[2]
- Phasing: Martians can go through solid matter.
- Superhuman Strength:^[2] Martians possess vast levels of superhuman strength and are among the few races that are able to match Kryptonians in terms of raw strength.

This power can also enable them to reverse the effects of amnesia or psychological brainwashing. ^[2]
  - Illusions
  - Possession
  - Astral Projection
  - Mind Control: As an extension of this, Martians can also use the ability to alter a psychological profile of a target, enabling them to manipulate, and in some cases, outright control that individual. This practice is greatly discouraged however, and only rarely used. ^[10]

Abilities

Leadership

Weaknesses

Vulnerability to Fire: 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.
