- Martian Manhunter just got hit with one of the biggest changes in his history! In Justice League Unlimited issues 2 and 3, we find out that J’onn J’onzz has lost most of his powers, including his telepathy and vision abilities-and he’s been keeping it a secret from the Justice League. But that’s not all… something massive is happening with the League as they take on a mysterious new group called Inferno, a dangerous organization with world-ending plans.
In this breakdown, we cover how Martian Manhunter’s power loss affects the team, Batman and Superman’s concern over his emotional state, and what it means for the larger DC ALL-IN initiative. Plus, we dive into the Justice League’s battle against Darkseid’s rogue Parademons, Aquaman’s mission to recruit Swamp Thing, and the shocking ending that could change the entire DC Universe!
Do you think Martian Manhunter will get his powers back? What’s Inferno’s real plan? Let us know in the comments! And don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more DC deep dives and comic breakdowns!

Martian Manhunter needs his own live action movie
For real bro
Exactly
Yes
Id watch tf outta that
@Ay-Bayo you not the only one
James Gunn's Superman looks great but, he should've led with a Martian Manhunter film that took place in the 1930's then a Superman film.
Unfortunately I don’t think it would of made money
For issue 2, I like that the JLU worked together to defeat Darkseid’s Parademons while talking about their personal lives, including Dr. Occult knowing J’onn’s identity as John Jones and became a superhero decades before Superman’s debut, Diana and Mary taking about how their similar to each other (in which Mary, who would have her pre-Crisis Earth-S memories, would tell Diana that she met her pre-Crisis Earth-Two self in 1942 as shown in two issues of All-Star Squadron), and the people in the Watchtower staying alert on upcoming attacks (in which I hope that Airwave will tell the truth and make up for it several issues from now). I also like that Al Rothstein, Ray Palmer, and Ryan Choi were able to remove a civilian’s powers in Singapore to make sure that those powers would be returned to someone, teasing their upcoming Atom Project comic. Overall, because of the Mark Waid writing and Dan Mora art, this comic is great!
For issue 3, first thing’s first. The Airwave you see here is Harold Jordan, the second Airwave who was confirmed by Mark Waid as the same guy who was one of the members of the Lost Children who lost his family because they moved on without him, resulting in him and Renee Montoya to have a talk in order to cheer him up. Second, I like that the JLU, including the Metal Men and the magic community (especially Xanthe Xhou, which is good for them), were able to stop the fires spreading all over the Amazon. Third, I also like that Ray and Ryan were able to help Eel and Linya Wazzo have their powers restored and have a heartwarming interaction with each other, since they were part of the Terrifics back in 2018, before Ray and Ryan told Eel about the Atom Project and then trying to find a way to restore the powers to the original people. Fourth, I even like Arthur and Harold have a talk about his interactions when Alec Holland Swamp Thing, foreshadowing Mark Waid’s upcoming World’s Finest issue and continuing their interactions with each other after Absolute Power, before they were able to interact with the latest Swamp Thing. Let’s hope that the JLU will find a way to defeat the Inferno and for Airwave to tell them that he’s the one to kill them and why he is doing it. Overall, this comic is great!
I've never understand how characters lose innate abilities. Like how can Superman lose his powers when he just naturally gets them from the sun (yellow) How can MMH lose powers when he gets them just from being Matrian? They didn't get their powers, they just have them
Non of what you matters to the writers
BTW to take a superman's I just have to make his cells find it difficult to absorb solar energy
Humans can also lose the ability to give birth or produce sperm
It natural but you can lose it
True
You were just born with the ability to see, but you can go blind.
None of it is real dude
Martian Manhunter need a his own movie
I wonder why they changed the way Martian Manhunters alter ego John Jones looks, I always liked the way he's usually been depicted in more modern times, hope its not a permanent change
I’m so Glad we got Issue #2. We needed this Thank you.
Long time comic collector and reader since the early 1970’s - I have noticed I watch more comic video/reads than actually reading comics - dont know how this happened over time but Im not complaining - will continue to do so as this channel remains a solid and reliable source of my favorite reads - wishing all of you continued success and health
Damn I ain’t ever been this early for a variant Video. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Did you nut? 😂
Can I just ask how can Man Hunter lose his powers if all Marians can shape shift and read minds, that’s the equivalent of us losing the ability to grow our fingernails. It’s a normal thing that all Martians can do and remember syndrome, if everyone’s super then no one is”
He shouldn’t be able to get that stolen if it’s a part of his biology that he was born with
Loving it so far 🤙🏿
Sweet Bruce Timm brings this back as a max series
This was great! I can't wait tonsee what happens next.
From the thumbnail.. Who looked like a toned Conan O' Brian😂
So he's just "Man"
Justice League Unlimited is going all-in, I love the direction where theyre going. I want more of J'onn's story too.
Variant you guys gotta keep us posted I've been subscribed for atleast a decade since Arris had hair doing history of's
Just love the way Plastic Man get so worried about Phantom Girl condition
Been loving the artwork.
I'm LOVING this new JL comic series,I'm really digging the art-work,new concept and story lines.May have to order this series online,all the comic shops in my area have went out of business,eons ago.
Off-topic observation: Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four got his powers from cosmic radiation or something. When he says flame on the fire comes out it’s not a chemical reaction. He is not being consumed. He doesn’t need air for his fire to burn. Maybe not exactly but the sun burns in space without air so why does Johnny’s flame extinguish when he flies into space? His flame shouldn’t go out. I have a theory why…it’s mental. He thinks his fire should go out because he’s going into space so it shuts down.
Is the podcast ever coming back?
Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to like this. Martian Manhunter himself, losing his own powers? How is this even possible?!
“Losing our powers!?!..What are we,Batman!?!”-Darkfire.😨
@Lemuel928 Quoting Blackfire?
Nobody asked that Wildfire is the same dude Darkfire?
Since you did the history of the Ghost, M.O.D.O.K, the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Iron Man villains like Ultimo, Iron Monger, Ezekiel Stane, Whiplash, Firebrand, Spymaster, Blizzard, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Temugin, Controller, Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo?
Yes. More non batman content!!! Awesome!!
History of Silver Surfer next please
I thought this episode was great but I think another great episode would be top ten hunters in both marvel and dc and also you I think you guys need more vs episodes and I have some suggestions:
Sandman vs clayface
Lizard vs killer croc
Kingpin vs penguin
Iron man vs cyborg
Iceman vs killer frost
Aquaman vs namor
Mr fantastic vs plastic man
Mr fantastic vs elongated man
Mr freeze vs captain cold ( even though they are in the same universe but still they share a striking similarity because they are both tech based villains who use subzero temperatures as their weapons)
Beast boy vs mystique ( even though they aren't technically equivalents of one another but still they share 1 striking similarity and that is they can shape shift)
Deadshot vs bullsye
Dammit, they nerfed Martian powers in one sentence. 😂
You're Bluebettle! How you're going to ask Batman to help you😭
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?
I am curious to see how Martian Manhunter is connected to the events that are happening in this storyline. 👀
South Africa mentioned 🇿🇦RAHHHHH!!!!🤧
I would love to see y'all do a feature on Tom King's Wonder Woman run! It's currently the one comic I'm most excited for month after month!!!
So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?
Slight error, Arris. Morrow's full name is pronounced T O Morrow. Also the detective with J'onn looks like J'onn's human form in The Batman. Though that form was probably a reference to J'onn's classic stories.
Ooooh looks like we're getting the return of fernus or whatever his name was evil Martian manhunter that occurred because of something long ago with his race and the guardians of oa
Great scott this book's good!!?
When are you going to do history of Clea, America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan in honor of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
Lol I didn't know Justice League had so many superheroes. Why we don't see even half of them in movies?
never gotten that far in the universe
Another good matchup
Vulture vs firefly
I hope Martian Manhunter isn't going to the Darkseid and i want to know more about this Inferno group.
Amazing!
Another good matchup:
Human torch vs firestorm
Does the arcade play or is it an awesome prop
I just figured out. They are the fernus martians
I'm thinking that whatever is going on with Martian manhunter top five hero for me would definitely be explorer in an issue number one which I want to pre-order
Good 👍🏿
Yeees some comic with Martian Manhunter
Can we get more absolute DC
Idk about that Superman movie something looks off I can’t place it but I have my reservations
The Super Skrull is equivalent to MM in Marvel not in O.P. Ness
Someone fill me in with the new swamp thing and Alec
i think i got it there was anthor martian manhunter from anthor unviers who unlocked his full power and become the bean was called Infernal
Man man nooo
With the MCU falling off, DC has finally started making good stories again
how do you use images copyright?
Give this man a cookie
Are you going to talk about DC vampires?
11:02 I thought that Elongated Man died!!! How is he alive???
Mary marvel is up there with Supergirl and power girl for me ❤
I noticed that you haven't done a video on DC's Vigilante
What would happen if we saw this comic book event taking place on the Big Screen or TV Shows?
supermen vs Supergirl which one of them should win? that should be a good fight
Good.. i hope the real swamp thing comes back...
Question gotta be playing Airwave.
~_~
As long as Frank Miller ain't involved, we're good.
Do you think Jonathan Majors, Javier Bardem or William Jackson Harper should play Martian Manhunter in James Gunn DC projects in the DCU?
FIRE!
You guys covered assassins you covered best fighters overall in both comics but you didn't address hunters which is slightly different from assassins
What if the parademons are based on Martian DNA. Or that his race was wholly transformed into parademons...
isnt aquaman teleported to the absolute universe?
How is he here now?
Maybe it's before that incident.
What do you think is the best thing about this comic book event and who is the best character?
Do you think Martian Manhunter is going to be his old self again?
Poor Martian
Queen ivy?
Seriously, the rat is working for lex no? It’s looking like that to me
Maybe they are martians
1:29 is... Is that panel ai generated... Please fucking tell me im wrong I don't want DC using AI
DC blatantly plagiarising Alien
W
First!
The name is literally T.O. ("tee" "oh") Morrow. Not "tomorrow." LMAO get it together, Arris.
What looks fun about that superman movie? Lol wtf. Looks terrible. And I'm tired of lex.
how many atoms are there?
