“This is a world where good and evil struggle in all levels of existence. I want to be a force for good\u2026 I’ll be one of the good guys.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That’s the mission statement J’onn J’onnz, the Martian Manhunter, adopts in Darwyn Cooke’s acclaimed comic The New Frontier <\/i>(2004). It also captures the spirit of this gorgeous new Martian Manhunter Maquette Statue<\/a>, the newest addition to Tweeterhead’s popular DC Super Powers line<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Standing proud at 18-inches tall, it presents J’onn hovering above ruins on the rocky Martian surface. He is clad in his most iconic costume: a bright red harness with golden clasps crossing his chest, and cobalt blue trunks and boots matching his long cape, which swirls about his muscular green frame.<\/p>\n
J’onn’s eyes glow red with the special vision that allows him to peer across multiple spectra. What does he see? We can only imagine. He pulls his left arm back with a clenched fist, as though ready to fight a powerful threat. But he stretches out his right arm almost hopefully – reaching, perhaps, toward new wonder on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Can’t Help Loving The Martian Manhunter<\/b><\/h4>\n
The Martian Manhunter wasn’t in last year’s Justice League<\/i> movie, but he was one of that superheroic team’s founding members in The Brave and the Bold<\/i> #28 (February\/March 1960).<\/p>\n
He’d been around five years at that point. A scientist’s teleportation experiment pulled J’onn to Earth in Detective Comics<\/i> #225 (November 1955). Unable to return home – surprising, since his powers over decades of tales to come eventually rivaled Superman’s – the shape-shifting Martian adopted a human face and name (“John Jones” – no points for originality) and became a police detective.<\/p>\n
In Justice League: The Ultimate Guide<\/i>, Landry Q. Walker catalogs J’onn’s powers (from standards like flight, super-speed, and invulnerability to more exotic attributes like telekinesis, mind control, and “phasing”) and mysterious contradictions: “The Manhunter is a complex individual and no one\u2026 truly knows every aspect of his nature.”<\/p>\n
But his continued popularity in comics and other media – including the animated Justice League<\/i> (2001-2004), the latter seasons of Smallville<\/i> (2007-2011), and currently on Supergirl<\/i> – proves people respond to this other <\/i>strange visitor from another planet because he strives to be “one of the good guys.”<\/p>\n
And his insatiable appetite for creme-filled chocolate cookies makes him endearing and relatable, too!<\/p>\n
Make Sure You Bring the Martian Manhunter Into Your World<\/b><\/h4>\n
