Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz (Doom)

Disguised as a human woman, he gives Martian Manhunter a drink that causes him to sweat magnesium, which sets him on fire; the latter burned until Wonder Woman arrived with an antidote.

Martian Manhunter later battled him in the Hall of Doom, where Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz was incinerated by the ignition of Vandal Savage's doomsday weapon.
