J'onn J'onzz looks like a monster. I will never be tolerated here on Earth. The more time I spend as Hank Henshaw, the less I have to face what I've lost. But when I change my state, shapeshift into someone new, call upon new powers, I get one step closer to becoming the Martian Manhunter forever.

Trivia

• Cameron Chase is introduced as a member of the FBI.
  • In the comics, she was actually a member of the D.E.O. which was created for her stories.
• Martian Manhunter choosing to erase someone's memories and his subsequent remorse is similar to the controversial mindwipes performed by super-heroes in Identity Crisis, and was also a recurring theme for Miss Martian in Young Justice.
