Weaknesses
Notes
- Miss Martian was created by Geoff Johns and Tony S. Daniel, first appearing as part of the Teen Titans in Teen Titans (Volume 3) #37. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Miss Martian first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Teen Titans (Volume 4) #1 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth.
- Although M'gann first appeared in Teen Titans #1 of the New 52, she was only shown as a picture on Tim Drake's computer. M'gann's first full appearance was in Titans Special #1 around six and a half years later.
- Static's New 52 background includes his time in the Dark Side Club from Terror Titans (Volume 1), including his fight with Star-Spangled Kid.[13] In New Earth continuity, Star-Spangled Kid was actually Miss Martian in disguise. It's unclear whether this is part of her own backstory in the New 52 and Rebirth.
- M'gann M'orzz is naturally a White Martian, possessing a human-like physique with four arms, a tail, white skin and no hair. However to be better accepted by humankind she made her form human in nature, giving herself green skin and red hair.[14]
