Notes
- The Boy From Mars: there is no reference to Green Martians (The Martian Manhunter was created in 1955). The Martians seen here are human descendants of Mu, a mythical lost continent on Earth. While it is possible that Marsboy's civilization could coexist with those of the Green and White Martians, this has never been shown.
