History

Following up on a lead he came face to face with the killer who had trapped his victims, but he was fatally shot by the killer and died shortly. J'onn J'onzz of Mars partially blamed himself for his death and took on his identity as a means to honor him. He started living his life, too scared to reveal his true alien form on Earth.
