DC is just throwing a black character in there to seem diverse, like who gives a fuck about cyborg man. DC's ethnic characters will forever be lame lol
Chris Michael If Martian Manhunter overcomes that fear, he turns into an unstoppable Monster, called fernus with freaking abilities like sentry who turns into void, which makes Martian Manhunter more interesting.
I like the fact that Martian Manhunter has taken on that role as Superman's "uncle" from time to time because MM knows more about intergalactic comings and goings, which is precisely why he sees Superman as a Kryptonian rather than an Earthling. As far as the DCTV universe goes, he's played that role on Smallville and now on Supergirl too. This of course begs the question: if the dude is powerful enough to mentor a Kryptonian, you know he's boss.
Martian Manhunter has gotten his ass whupped by Doomsday twice. The first time MM didn't even hurt him. MM also got whupped by a Kandorian with Superman's powers
King Ramesez Martian manhunter is still better I mean all you have to do is just look at their abilities and compare and you’ll see that MM would beat Supes
The most recent comics revealed that he isn't weak to fire but he is actually scared with him because of all the stuff that happened in mars, he got over it during forever evil though
What I think is that he is purposefully holding back with his powers to not be in trouble with the government, and that in season 2 we are really going to see the full range of his limitless abilitiesm
_"I think people make a mistake when they say, ‘Superman’s not relatable because he’s so powerful. I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? He’s a farmboy from Kansas who moves to the city and just wants to do the best he can with what he’s got.’ That’s the most relatable character in the world."_ - Geoff Johns (Superman writer and DC comics CCO).
@Goku is better than Vegeta lol he's not lame if you read his other comics. The Dragonball is becoming boring cuz everyone already knows that Goku will win in the end there's no other characters that can shine cuz Goku is the Golden boy which is pretty boring. Superman is so much better
Superman is the single most important character in American comics industry history.As without the success of the initial Superman stories, would there even be such popularity for comic book characters as we have currently.Had Superman failed would we even have seen Batman, Wonder Woman and many other comic book characters.Indeed would the company that became Marvel Comics, even be started if.Superman had been a failure, rather than a success, in those early days of comic books. The entire American comics industry owes a lot more to Superman, than any other superhero character out there.
frankie migs superman prime was never evil. You are wrong on so levels. Superman was ressurected into a God yes, but he was never evil and manhunter never fought him he fought superBOY prime, a more powerful superman who loses his shit
load of bullshit by idiots who know nothing. Martian Manhunter attempted to fight Superboy Prime and got killed. Superboy prime is the same as Superman Prime. The one you idiots are refering is Superman One million aka golden superman from Dc one million who would also kill manhutners ass.
People think that having overpowered characters is boring, but having a character who's constantly defeated and forced to train and become stronger is worse. That's why I stopped watching Bleach, because it's just the same thing happening over and over again, with different villains... I like how Martian Manhunter pretty much has the powers that Superman doesn't, like they're each other's contingency match!
In real life people get beat so they learn and get better. Batman, Ironman, Spider-man use weapons that vary based on opponents. Cops today can do things they didn't know about long ago such as finger prints, DNA test, profiling, etc. Also have swat teams with special weapons and tactics might use tear gas, smoke bombs, sound, bright light, bullet resistant vests, rapid fire and long range weapons, even helicopters and airplanes.
I don't think the issue lies exactly on characters being "intrinsically overpowered" or the necessity for growth through "failure then triumph", its more on the execution of such concepts. What is the basis of this execution, it relies primarily on the character's depth and of the story's world building. From my perspective, I think its unfair to smear against stories such as Bleach which relies on storylines through "failure then triumph", since their world building requires them to do so. Indeed, characters in these stories fail, go through training, learn, then proceed victorious, however its *not* like it was written *solely* for the sake of a character to overcome an obstacle, often times, it provides a reflection for the faults characters carry. For the case in Bleach (since you pointed it out), it is a necessary plotline since the numerous trainings the main character has undergone did not simply enhance the capabilities of the character witnessed, but it has also provided extended insight onto the necessity of an established bond between the Zanpakuto and its user in order to achieve full potential, especially noting the fact that it is established lore that the Zanpakuto spirit is an extension of one's individual self, thus why the all of the trainings Ichigo undertook after the SS arc primarily took place within his "inner world". Just because you only saw Ichigo do it doesn't mean it was something "special" for him, it was established lore that these were necessary for every other Shinigami. Though of course you do make a point, the Mugetsu training in particular, but it still had a redeeming quality on how its consistency on to the intentions with the previous ones. On overpowered characters on the other hand, I do agree that not all them are boring, because once again it relies onto the characters goals he/she wish to achieve. There is a difference between op characters who wish to utilize their capabilities in order to achieve their ideals for the world, for this case characters such as Martian Manhunter, and there are those op characters who utilize their powers just for the sake of using them, a casual use of it. Some also have particularly weak and underwhelming goals, leading to people criticizing them to being boring. Bottomline is it's highly reliant on to the narrative structure that surrounds the characters. Its reliant on to the ideals these characters carry, and on whether these ideals carry any weight on them, not necessarily on them being "op" or the "progressive growth achieved through failure"
Flash is actually the most overpowered character in DC universe, along with Batman. Flash can solve any issue by applying more speed, Batman by being crazier prepared.
Rasgonras Boooo wtf batman could dooo could time travel like flash?? Dude wake up batman couldnt even lift the wieght of fhe earth let alone staying in the sun for 15000 years, he would be dead mate. Flash yeah he is cool very fast and have an infinite punch means it is very powerful, and theres this thing like heart attack where his hand move so fast it will go straight through bodies.
It was never very clear how strong he was in Justice League or Justice League Unlimited, but I remember eventually noticing that because of his phasing ability, as long as no one sneaks up on him or catches him off guard, he couldn't be beaten in hand to hand combat.
QuickSilver SnD No such hero as Berry Allen smartass but im going to assume you meant BARRY Allen. Either way, no, Wally has better speed feats.. plus he has better speedforce powers such as absorbing speed which makes him much faster than any of the other speedsters. During the human race issue all the other speedsters gave all their speed to Wally cus they kno he's the best of them.
Martian manhunter is hella underrated. He’s one of my favorite characters of all time but I hate how he’s made to look weak or he doesn’t do much. But he’s BADASS
Still not an impossibility. As to why he would choose not to reveal himself just yet with Zod and Doomsday he could simply say "Why would I have needed to when _you're_ here.... Clark?" **audience flips the fuck out**
Agreed! My best friend loves superman and he is favorite superhero. I on the other hand think that superman is as a good of a character as Jar Jar Binks.

Zano 7 Well that's a different comparison. They both have a tragic story. Both of them had their race annihilated. Superman is my favorite character, but Martian Manhunter is my second. He is probably the most underrated member of the Justice League, there's a lot of people who don't believe that he was an original member and believe that cyborg is. But I wouldn't say he can beat Superman by a wide margin. I say it would be a tie.
1:56 This is has almost always been my position too. I don't mind overpowered characters as long as they can still be challenged and go through some sort of struggle.
Martian Manhunter has always been one of my favorite superhero's of all time, even when he would get sidetracked in the old shows! People never believe me, when I say that Martian Manhunter is one of the few people who can go toe-to-toe with Superman in a fight.
You quoted my favorite JLA arc ever, in which J'onn (as a Burning Martian) walks through the entire team. But you brought up a point that tends to stick with me. People complain that DC's best are overpowered and therefore unrelatable, but suppose they aren't supposed to be relatable? Maybe larger-than-life, iconic characters aren't meant to be related to, but meant to inspire? We're supposed to want to be like these characters, not made comfortable because they're like us.
Back in the day, especially in the JLA animated comics, the writers would make him grab his head and fly off into space yelling just as the fight began. It was incredibly frustrating.
.......Ok.....I posted that comment because Superman has an obvious weakness. Martian Manhunter most simple weakness is fire. That could've been a good reason why he's not the strongest. Though the dude is still an awesome bad ass.
+Phillip Romar yeah if i remember rightly the white martians put a mental block on him to make him afraid of fire, because that was actually the key to green martians evolution or something along those lines.
Overpowered??.. as opposed to being Powerless..but being a gazillionaire and having all kinds of tech to your disposal is "RELATABLE?... LOL Marian Manhunter is awesome!
Sorry, buddy, but he most certainly is over-powered, even by other universes' standards. He is basically invulnerable and can (as his name implies) take opponents out with little more than a single punch, and that's at a fraction of his full power.
Kerry Auguste Shazam isn't that strong all you would have to do is trick him into yelling his name. And the flash can just be stopped by a frictionless surface. Doctor fate protects the world from mystical threats so all Martian man hunter would have to do is use telekinesis
"My made up character is better than yours " And one punch man destroys Goku , or my own Comic character TheFingererOfJustice can stick his fingers into peoples ass's and kill them and he cant die no matter what and has no weakness.
+Mutsu Hanma impossible goku is the dumb superhero ever i see in anime how can superman lose against him superman is infinitely better than him in every single way
They got wiped out from a mental disease that made it so that they had to cut themselves off telepathically from the rest of their kind. No one could do it, because it was like pulling out your soul basically, but Martian Manhunter could. He watched his wife and child die in front of him as they accepted their fate, and he shut himself off. He's like the Batman of the Martians. Except he has a sadder backstory.
+VariantComics haha, just wanted to make sure there wasnt another Justice League cartoon I havent seen, although, that would be an awesome follow up to Justice League Unlimited! kinda wished that they did one about the future heros, like old static, warhawk, and terry batman!
How is Martian Mahnunter not the most powerful super hero? He can do everything Superman can and more. People are stupid for basing stuff based on stories or what this hero said about the other. These characters aren't real. The writers are the ones putting the words in their mouth. We have to base who would win based on the characters and their powers and how they fight. Are they strategic, brawlers, etc.. Martian Mahnunter is the strongest. If he was more popular, many more people would agree.
Yep J'onn J'onzz was one of my all time favorites also. And it was disappointing that he was not in Justice League. But, maybe they have plans for him in the future to be there along with Green Lantern.
I don't see a link to the video about Superman vs Manhunter in the drop down box. This is one of my little pet peeves on youtube. Please don't say link in the description if there is not one. Yes, I am going to go search for it and should be able to find it with little trouble. Just a tiny ultimately unimportant first world problem.
It’s pretty cool to think that based on your perspective it sounds like Martian Manhunter is not the strongest DC Superhero, but he could be if he wants to. Another great video, thanks Arris!
Martian Manhunter trained with Superman, to be strong against mind control. All-out Martian Manhunter (Fernus ) could still mess with his mind, and Max Lord through subtle tampering. But no one is immune to painful mind blasts.
You know, I wonder if at some point, a super powered being, is no longer considered a "super hero" rather, a cosmic being or constant like Galactus or "the Prescence".
I just like Martian Manhunter because he’s an extremely strong hero that’s actually relatable and a good character. He has a tragic backstory that challenges him and he’s also a good guy. I’m very excited that Manhunter is dangerous in the new 52 and his power is being noticed. Can’t wait
About Superman, he is not meant to lose, but that doesn't mean he is not meant to have limits. The reason why he is said to be a champion nearly all the time is because he doesn't actually win to achieve victory, but to keep the lives of innocents safe. Also, his power levels are so high that there is almost no way of explaining what his limits come to. However, I would agree that he is possibly the most powerful superhero of the DC Universe, and he is personally one of my favorite superheroes.

lol, any DC character can beat anything outside its medium. Who gives a shit? Bottom line is Goku would be a shit character if his powers were clearly defined and he was only about strength.
***** Martian Manhunter is massively faster than light and can become intangible. He could litterally walk through them while pulling out all their major organs.
Martian Manhunter is definitely one of my new favorites, along with Plastic Man. I'd argue one of the dumbest heroes to exist is Elongated Man. Elasticity is already pretty much mastered by those two. Also really like Flash and Firestorm. I feel like Firestorm is underrated tho
4:40 superman lost to doomsday multiple times. The original version of superman (powerfull enough to destroy solar systems by sneezing)was not meant to lose. Super man since the 1950s to now isnt really omnipotent, he is strong but hes around thor level.
When I was a kid a friend asked me who my favorite superhero was I said marshin manhunter and my friend said he's trash because he thought he only had one super power I was very triggered that day...duss anayone realate with this
I always thought that the Martian Manhunter never got any respect is because his name is lame. I mean, you've got Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern...and then you have Martian Manhunter? His name just doesn't sound right. It's the same with Captain Marvel, that is an awesome name, but to call the same character Shazam sounds ridiculous. If they would have given J'onn a catchy hero name, today he would be just as popular as all the other members of the JLA.
+Panos Gamer Don't listen to this guy Martian Manhunter is probably tied with the flash in terms of power, he is the strongest superhero, Superman wouldn't stand a chance.
He is soo underrated!! Basically has all Superman's powers plus other powers! Including shapeshifting! Plus his backstory is badass. Lone survivor of the mars apocalypse
How? How was Iron Man a Batman ripoff? Iron Man is an alcoholic billionaire genius with an unstable morality that loves to build robotic suits so he can fight crime. Batman is a billionaire detective that has mastered all Martial Arts in order to try to fix his city as a tribute to his parents deaths by borderline crippling his opponents with his fists. Somehow i don't see the resemblance.
A Cat They copy each other, all comics companies do. There are only so many ideas and powers out there, and often times the copycats are made by people paying tribute to a character's creator, as an inside joke(i.e. deadpool), or made by the same guy(i.e. Thanos and Darkseid). In case you didn't know, Aquaman is the original copycat, as Namor,a marvel character, predates him. And also, Silver Surfer with the Inifinity Gauntlet predates Superman 1 million, by almost a decade. I was pointing out the obvious, not for debate, or inane comments, but because it was funny. I just forgot that because this is the internet, that if you don't put "lol" in your comment, people get offended.
He is like the more alien looking superman, but with the ability to shapeshift and read minds as a bonus. He is supermans equal! He just gets sidelined unfairly because he is the guy that stays at base and gives missions. He also has all the other stuff that was stated as well but it's to much to say...
But is The presence considered an actual superhero or an entity such as a god.I would say the latter. And say Spectre I definitely know is portrayed as a superhero, and very powerful too.For a superhero.
If he can change his molecular structure he could theoretically give himself any power or at least turn invisible or use chamouflage to hide so he could deeat superman by turning invisible or maybe even giving himself the abilitys of superman.
rise your hand if you're disapointed that Cyborg is going to be in the Justice League movie and not Martian Manhunter

But I wouldn't say he can beat Superman by a wide margin. I say it would be a tie.
We need a top 10 stupidest superheroes list
booster gold would definitely be on that list
He has one
+brianpoole33 Not really Booster gold is pretty good
+brianpoole33 booster gold is amazing
+brianpoole33 DP will also be on the list.
Arris, the spawn TV show is now on Amazon prime!
+VariantComics PLEASE SAY HI
+VariantComics look on my civil war 2 comic and U are really awosome when it comes to comic
No s**t?! I know what I'm doing this weekend!
+David Bell ikr?
That show Is so unbelievably depressing I love It
1:56
This is has almost always been my position too. I don't mind overpowered characters as long as they can still be challenged and go through some sort of struggle.
Anyone Here After Snyder's Cut???
Martian Manhunter has always been one of my favorite superhero's of all time, even when he would get sidetracked in the old shows! People never believe me, when I say that Martian Manhunter is one of the few people who can go toe-to-toe with Superman in a fight.
It’s funny because they say Martian Manhunter is “Overpowered” BUT he’s usually sooo Innocent and Rarely even show his full potential 🤦🏻
So happy I found your channel. Your videos are great. Don't stop doing what you're doing! Love this and the Shazam vid!
MM may not be THE single most powerful, but he is easily in the same league as Doctor Manhattan, Superman, etc.
Superman ain’t nowhere near dr Manhattan
Random Username
Would you consider MM a close comparison to Doctor Manhattan?
no, Manhattan is basically a fifth dimensional being and mm is not
@@sickkunt1573 Didn't Superman take on Emperor Joker?
@@sickkunt1573 I think Doctor Fate is close. But Darkseid is above Manhattan.
You quoted my favorite JLA arc ever, in which J'onn (as a Burning Martian) walks through the entire team.
But you brought up a point that tends to stick with me. People complain that DC's best are overpowered and therefore unrelatable, but suppose they aren't supposed to be relatable? Maybe larger-than-life, iconic characters aren't meant to be related to, but meant to inspire?
We're supposed to want to be like these characters, not made comfortable because they're like us.
Did you forget Doctor Manhattan? He could make Manhunter and Superman explode with a thought.
he is in an alternate universe so batman does not no who that is
And?
He will soon in Rebirth
if you haven't heard the news watchmen is part of dc rebirth
No... Haven't read recent Darkseid War / DC Rebirth?
Watchmen IS new 52-CANON!
here after the synder cut
Back in the day, especially in the JLA animated comics, the writers would make him grab his head and fly off into space yelling just as the fight began. It was incredibly frustrating.
Awwwww, I was hoping you mention his weakness against fire. In Injustice, Superman took him out with a heatvision.
So superman possess weakness which other characters like batman exploit to their advantage but it doesn't negate his overall status of being stronger.
.......Ok.....I posted that comment because Superman has an obvious weakness. Martian Manhunter most simple weakness is fire. That could've been a good reason why he's not the strongest.
Though the dude is still an awesome bad ass.
it was a mental weakness, not a physical one. He is no longer weak to fire.
+The Impossible kid Whaaaaaat? Really? Thanks for telling me. I gotta look this up.
+Phillip Romar yeah if i remember rightly the white martians put a mental block on him to make him afraid of fire, because that was actually the key to green martians evolution or something along those lines.
It's "Justice League: Unlimited" not "united" you rookie.
says the one with nobody paying attention to him :P
there was a comic called united he just got mixed up 'you rookie'
ummmmmmmm *"
Still, the speaker in this video is a moronic with little to no logic
+Dan Zhukov jealous much
I love MM
his humble personality actually
I wish if I could have a friend like him
MM: No fire!!!!
Green Lantern: No bananas! No taxi cab! No lemons! No sponge! No HIGHLIGHTER!!!
Overpowered??.. as opposed to being Powerless..but being a gazillionaire and having all kinds of tech to your disposal is "RELATABLE?... LOL
Marian Manhunter is awesome!
Yeah...but he's still the most human so...deal with it.
Sean C facts i dont got all that money
Honestly I always thought Spiderman was much more relatable than Batman.
dude that was an awesome comment...lmao youre right somehow batman should be more relatable
@@goku-im3dk he's not the most human. I'd argue Nightwing and Green Arrow are more relatable as humans
1:50
Saitama is overpowered no one bats an eye
Superman is overpowered and everyone loses their mind
That's because Saitama is a parody of extremely overpowered heroes, such as Superman.
Exactly
Superman isn't even that op though, he used to be in the silver age
Saitama isn't overpowered only in his universe he is.
Sorry, buddy, but he most certainly is over-powered, even by other universes' standards. He is basically invulnerable and can (as his name implies) take opponents out with little more than a single punch, and that's at a fraction of his full power.
i think the strongest character is Dr.fate and Shazam alongside flash
Kerry Auguste Shazam isn't that strong all you would have to do is trick him into yelling his name.
And the flash can just be stopped by a frictionless surface.
Doctor fate protects the world from mystical threats so all Martian man hunter would have to do is use telekinesis
Paul Tan how can you exactly get a frictionless surface?
Paul Tan frictionless surface like space
Paul Tan he ran in space
nick rodgers yeh flash ran thru space and out beats a teleporter running
I can always rely on this channel when I feel like giving up. The videos take my mind off everything and I just nerd out
How can martian manhunter be the most powerful when 99 percent of his kind got wiped out like idiots...
Superman loses against Goku....
"My made up character is better than yours " And one punch man destroys Goku , or my own Comic character TheFingererOfJustice can stick his fingers into peoples ass's and kill them and he cant die no matter what and has no weakness.
+Mutsu Hanma
impossible goku is the dumb superhero ever i see in anime how can superman lose against him
superman is infinitely better than him in every single way
They got wiped out from a mental disease that made it so that they had to cut themselves off telepathically from the rest of their kind. No one could do it, because it was like pulling out your soul basically, but Martian Manhunter could. He watched his wife and child die in front of him as they accepted their fate, and he shut himself off. He's like the Batman of the Martians. Except he has a sadder backstory.
lol thats exactly what i was thinking
don't you mean Justice League Unlimited, and not united?
+VariantComics haha, just wanted to make sure there wasnt another Justice League cartoon I havent seen, although, that would be an awesome follow up to Justice League Unlimited! kinda wished that they did one about the future heros, like old static, warhawk, and terry batman!
+VariantComics do shazam please
+VariantComics Hey Barry I made a video for you and Scott there any of those videos for you you're awesome huge shout out
+VariantComics and can you do the different Origen's of Spidey 2099
yes he meant unlimited
How is Martian Mahnunter not the most powerful super hero? He can do everything Superman can and more. People are stupid for basing stuff based on stories or what this hero said about the other. These characters aren't real. The writers are the ones putting the words in their mouth. We have to base who would win based on the characters and their powers and how they fight. Are they strategic, brawlers, etc.. Martian Mahnunter is the strongest. If he was more popular, many more people would agree.
Luis Ramirez Because he's scared of fire...
Luis Ramirez Nope, Shazam is still stronger, alone the power of Zeus would destroy every single hero.
1. Shazam
2. Martian Manhunter
3. Superman
Deniz Isi the power of Zeus don't mean scratch if u cant hit him fam
Deniz Isi eh. Just saying mmh can turn into rubber, so this is bullshit.
Luis Ramirez what do you not powerful Can you survive with fried brain?
Yep J'onn J'onzz was one of my all time favorites also. And it was disappointing that he was not in Justice League. But, maybe they have plans for him in the future to be there along with Green Lantern.
I've always wondered how strong he is and this is so awesome I've always loved his character and his made me love his character even more
I don't see a link to the video about Superman vs Manhunter in the drop down box. This is one of my little pet peeves on youtube. Please don't say link in the description if there is not one. Yes, I am going to go search for it and should be able to find it with little trouble.
Just a tiny ultimately unimportant first world problem.
regardless of what I call the video, The link is not in the description.
sometimes people forget things
sick video great anount of info and comic strips. definetly tuning in
It’s pretty cool to think that based on your perspective it sounds like Martian Manhunter is not the strongest DC Superhero, but he could be if he wants to. Another great video, thanks Arris!
do you mean unlimited? 0:28
its cool man :)
+VariantComics superman trained himself so his is brain locked from telepaths look up superman vs the elite
Martian Manhunter trained with Superman, to be strong against mind control. All-out Martian Manhunter (Fernus ) could still mess with his mind, and Max Lord through subtle tampering. But no one is immune to painful mind blasts.
I wonder how tough Supes would be if he was trained by gods like Zeus or Odin...
You know, I wonder if at some point, a super powered being, is no longer considered a "super hero" rather, a cosmic being or constant like Galactus or "the Prescence".
No matter how overpowered they are the writers are the true overpowered beings 😤😤
Here after watching The Snyder Cut
I just like Martian Manhunter because he’s an extremely strong hero that’s actually relatable and a good character. He has a tragic backstory that challenges him and he’s also a good guy. I’m very excited that Manhunter is dangerous in the new 52 and his power is being noticed. Can’t wait
About Superman, he is not meant to lose, but that doesn't mean he is not meant to have limits. The reason why he is said to be a champion nearly all the time is because he doesn't actually win to achieve victory, but to keep the lives of innocents safe. Also, his power levels are so high that there is almost no way of explaining what his limits come to. However, I would agree that he is possibly the most powerful superhero of the DC Universe, and he is personally one of my favorite superheroes.
The Chimmichanga Agreed. The "He is not meant to lose" argument is a bit of a cop out. Love both regardless of opinion.
David Bulger IKR!
Saitama would erase him
Hillary4Pres AlwaysWithHer Oh, my God! No one cares about that debate anymore, let it go!
Superman actually isn't close to the most powerful superhero in the DC universe, DC has even told that.
Whos here after zack's JL 🤘🤘
Nice video!!! Keep it up!

How would you save Martian Manhunter?
🚒
😥 superbreath
Get Superman
I would eat the fire
backspace
Martian ManHunter alone could defeat Goku in a fight.
2 words. Mind Attack
He would solo the entire DBZ verse.
lol, any DC character can beat anything outside its medium. Who gives a shit? Bottom line is Goku would be a shit character if his powers were clearly defined and he was only about strength.
You don't even need Martian Man Hunter for that.
***** Martian Manhunter is massively faster than light and can become intangible. He could litterally walk through them while pulling out all their major organs.
I came here after the Justice League Snyder Cut!!
So far i only seen him get tossed into a put of fire. Never really seen him fight properly
Martian Manhunter is definitely one of my new favorites, along with Plastic Man. I'd argue one of the dumbest heroes to exist is Elongated Man. Elasticity is already pretty much mastered by those two.
Also really like Flash and Firestorm. I feel like Firestorm is underrated tho
Firestorm can literally turn lead into gold.
Firestorm can beat Superman and mmh he can create kryptonite from air and can create fire fights over
Can we have Jon "bones" Jones as Martian Manhunter just because? 😂
4:40 superman lost to doomsday multiple times. The original version of superman (powerfull enough to destroy solar systems by sneezing)was not meant to lose. Super man since the 1950s to now isnt really omnipotent, he is strong but hes around thor level.
3:50 dude, his weakness is *FIRE* ... we invented that one quite a while ago!
Snyder cut anyone?
Your a DC fan when you know that MM is one of the most dangerous DC hero
if the entire Justice League and Hulk had a child 😂
I knew you guys will come 😉 can't wait for JL 2
When I was a kid a friend asked me who my favorite superhero was I said marshin manhunter and my friend said he's trash because he thought he only had one super power I was very triggered that day...duss anayone realate with this
I always thought that the Martian Manhunter never got any respect is because his name is lame. I mean, you've got Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern...and then you have Martian Manhunter? His name just doesn't sound right. It's the same with Captain Marvel, that is an awesome name, but to call the same character Shazam sounds ridiculous. If they would have given J'onn a catchy hero name, today he would be just as popular as all the other members of the JLA.
parKb5 his name is fine
parKb5 he doesn't get media coverage
Update: Watch the Snyder Cut
can you do a top ten or the most strongest moments from Martian Manhunter
aaaaaaaaaand he read Spectre's mind
Wow...i didn't know that. He's that powerful? I mean I know he is but specter is like way op.
+Panos Gamer Don't listen to this guy Martian Manhunter is probably tied with the flash in terms of power, he is the strongest superhero, Superman wouldn't stand a chance.
it just depends on Superman potential
What about against Mister Majestic or Count Nefaria (classic) or Blue Marvel? Wouldn't they school or give a good fight to Martian Manhunter?
He is soo underrated!! Basically has all Superman's powers plus other powers! Including shapeshifting! Plus his backstory is badass. Lone survivor of the mars apocalypse
Who's here after Snyder Cut?
We all know that superman 1 million was just DC's version of Silver Surfer with the Infinity Gauntlet.
But Marvel copies DC sooooo no
How? How was Iron Man a Batman ripoff? Iron Man is an alcoholic billionaire genius with an unstable morality that loves to build robotic suits so he can fight crime. Batman is a billionaire detective that has mastered all Martial Arts in order to try to fix his city as a tribute to his parents deaths by borderline crippling his opponents with his fists. Somehow i don't see the resemblance.
.... the way you compare iron man and batman is so irrelevant and doesn't even make sense.
shut the fuck up!
A Cat They copy each other, all comics companies do. There are only so many ideas and powers out there, and often times the copycats are made by people paying tribute to a character's creator, as an inside joke(i.e. deadpool), or made by the same guy(i.e. Thanos and Darkseid). In case you didn't know, Aquaman is the original copycat, as Namor,a marvel character, predates him. And also, Silver Surfer with the Inifinity Gauntlet predates Superman 1 million, by almost a decade.
I was pointing out the obvious, not for debate, or inane comments, but because it was funny. I just forgot that because this is the internet, that if you don't put "lol" in your comment, people get offended.
great video!
He is like the more alien looking superman, but with the ability to shapeshift and read minds as a bonus. He is supermans equal! He just gets sidelined unfairly because he is the guy that stays at base and gives missions. He also has all the other stuff that was stated as well but it's to much to say...
Superheros must be overpower, they are SUPERHEROS.
"The presence"is the most powerful character is dc
Yes
But is The presence considered an actual superhero or an entity such as a god.I would say the latter. And say Spectre I definitely know is portrayed as a superhero, and very powerful too.For a superhero.
God leveled characters are fucking boring cuz they just think anything out of existence or bend reality then THE END.
WTF
After hearing this the Batman laughs his way to become... The Darkest Knight!
If he can change his molecular structure he could theoretically give himself any power or at least turn invisible or use chamouflage to hide so he could deeat superman by turning invisible or maybe even giving himself the abilitys of superman.
I still believe the Flash could beat the whole justice league.
He can and he has
Banman He just can.
He has never not even in d comics.. Go fanboys
He's not in the top 5 he's in the top 2 lol
Hear after the new reveal in the Snyder cut
Arris , make a history of silver surfer please
human torch would beat him
Even Pyro would beat him.
How can human torch win against him lol
no. not in million years
+Deidara the fear of fire is MMH weakness
+Deidara Martian Manhunter's weakness is fire
I need to read comics. The power scales are so crazy!! Even crazier than anime. the best we got is goku and saitama.
I fell in love with Martian Manhunter from the JL/JLU cartoons.
Guys dream came true 5 years later in ZSJL
