M'comm M'orzz, or Ma'alefa'ak, is the brother of Miss Martian.
History
M'comm and M'gann are the only White Martian children of a mixed couple. He is a nephew of Martian Manhunter.
He is committed to revolutionary change in his home planet of Mars. To that end, he has allied himself with an outside agent; in return for his services to a mission on New Genesis, he would get the means to launch an insurrection. His mission was to pose as the New God Orion and betray the Bugs so that their leader, Mantis, would side with Darkseid. Though his plan was foiled by the Forever People and a group of Earth heroes including his sister, he was ultimately successful in recruiting the Bugs.
