Martian Manhunter

Voiced by: Carl Lumbly

Classification: Power Character

Biography:
The last of the green martians, J'onn J'onzz has adopted the Earth as his new home. Using his psychic and shapeshifting abilities, the Martian Manhunter is one of Earth's strongest defenders and one of the founding members of the Justice League.

Intro: The area that the camera focuses on seems slightly distorted, but then Martian Manhunter appears, having been using his invisibility

Post-Round Taunt: Martian Manhunter crosses his arms and shapeshifts into his opponent, saying "How unfortunate." or "Surrender peacefully." before turning back into main appearance

Outro: Looks at his opponent and sighs, then flies away; the screen switches to Martian Manhunter on the surface of Mars, looking out at Earth

Special Moves:

* Intangibility - Turns intangible briefly, allowing all attacks to pass through him
** Meter Burn - A counter; if hit in his intangible state, Martian Manhunter will punch forward and turn solid while within the opponent if hit with a melee attack (projectiles just pass through him as usual and trigger no parry)

* Martian Vision - Shoots forward a laser blast from his eyes
** Meter Burn - Boosts the strength of the laser beam, blasting opponents farther backward

* Mental Assault - Causes the opponent to have a mental breakdown (can hit them from anywhere as long as they don't block)
** Meter Burn - Makes the opponent's mental breakdown more severe, causing them to collapse and take more damage

* Induce Sleep - Mentally causes the opponent to fall asleep, leaving them open to attack for a short amount of time (reaches slightly in front of J'onn)

* Dragon Dash - Shapeshifts to resemble a green Chinese dragon, flying forward in a spinning motion into his opponent
** Meter Burn - After hitting the opponent as a dragon, Martian Manhunter will transform back, standing on the opponent's body as it skids across the ground

* Phase Dash Back - Turns intangible and dashes backward, allowing him to position himself without being hit

* Phase Dash Forward - Turns intangible and dashes forward, allowing him to position himself without being hit

Launcher: Charges up a large punch to send the opponent flying

Throw:
Forward - Grabs the opponent, flies into the air, and blasts them onto the ground with his Martian Vision
Back - Grabs the opponent, flies into the air, throws them behind him, then blasts them onto the ground with his Martian Vision

Character Trait:
Cloaked Martian - Turns invisible for a limited amount of time or until he is hit

Supermove:
Mental Destruction - Martian Manhunter releases a wave of mental energy, and if the opponent is hit, the fight moves into their mind, where an astral projection of Martian Manhunter brutally attacks the opponent's representation of their psyche, until they finally can't take anymore, and the screen cracks as the opponent screams in pain

Ending: Martian Manhunter had defeated Superman, and ensured that his second homeworld did not fall as his first did. However, the Justice League, which had always been a key part in Martian Manhunter's life, was broken. The only member still alive and not a part of the Regime was Batman. Together with the Dark Knight, Martian Manhunter assembled the members Insurgency as well as new heroes to form a new Justice League, one that would protect the Earth rather than rule it. Taking the lead of the team, Martian Manhunter once again found his place in the world.

Clash Quotes:

Standard -
"You've forced my hand."
"You will not win."
"We are past negotiation."
"You've made a mistake."
"I know your next move before you make it."

Defending -

Martian Manhunter - "You're insane."
The Joker - "Yeah, that's kind of the point."

Martian Manhunter - "I am just as powerful as you."
Superman - "I don't doubt it."

Martian Manhunter - "This will end now."
Superman - "You read my mind."

Martian Manhunter - "You truly are the worst mankind offers."
Lex Luthor - "I'll take that as a compliment."

Martian Manhunter - "I will stop you, monster.
Doomsday - "You cannot beat me!"

Martian Manhunter - "You remind me of a white martian."
Doomsday - "But I am more deadly!"

Martian Manhunter - "I will test you willpower, Hal."
Hal Jordan - "I'll pass with flying colors. Mostly green."

Attacking:

The Joker - "You'll burn really nicely."
Martian Manhunter - "Some humans are irredeemable..."

Superman - "Don't hold back, J'onn."
Martian Manhunter - "As long as you do not either, Kal."

Superman - "So it's Martian versus Kryptonian."
Martian Manhunter - "It makes no difference."

Lex Luthor - "I detest aliens..."
Martian Manhunter - "You are too close minded."

Lex Luthor - "What exactly is a 'Manhunter?'"
Martian Manhunter - "One who protects the innocent from those like you!"

Doomsday - "The last Martian will die!"
Martian Manhunter - "Not today, or by your hand!"

Doomsday - "This will end now!"
Martian Manhuner - "I will not go down so easily."

Hal Jordan - "What's the matter? I eat the last Choco cookie?"
Martian Manhunter - "That is not something to joke about."

Trivia:
* Carl Lumbly previously voiced Martian Manhunter in Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Justice League: Doom
* In his idle stance, Martian Manhunter floats above the ground
* Martian Manhunter can air-dash
* The Martian Manhunter in the background of the Watchtower is removed when someone plays as Martian Manhunter on that stage
So, the DLC leak (of Lobo, Batgirl, Zod, and Scorpion) looks like it's true, so unless we get more DLC after these four, Martian Manhunter may not be in Injustice. To me, he's a necessity, since he's a main member of the JLA and has awesome potential for a moveset. So here's my ideas for him.
