Which Lantern are you? Are you a Green Lantern with the strength of will? Are you a Red Lantern with the power of rage, a Blue Lantern with the inspiration of hope? Are you a Black Lantern who brings death, or a White Lantern who bestows life? The Lantern Corps of the DC Universe took center stage in the blockbuster Blackest Night series, and now you can carry your keys on a keychain that features the logo and a description of the power of your Lantern Corps of choice.

"A question for the comments: If Martian Manhunter had not been a Black Lantern, which alternate corps might he have joined?" Indigo Tribe, I think. Compassion fits him well. Second choice would be Blue.
I have the oversized slipcase edition of World's Greatest Superheroes and it is awesome! The "Liberty and Justice" story, despite being a collective JLA book, is a terrific Martian Manhunter story. He has some excellent moments. I wonder how Paul Dini would do on a MM ongoing or miniseries.
@LissBirds - J'onn could be a Star Sapphire and wear even fewer clothes than normal. ;)
LissBirds beat me to the punch... That totally seems his speed.
Too reserved for Rage
Too strong for Avarice
Too nice for Fear
Willpower...have you seen him with a box of cookies?
Hope is in his nature, but not his primary color (see what I did there?)
Compassion is what he most often shows. Despero mind whammy anyone?
Love...J'onn just finally started wearing pants. No thank you.
I always look for J'onn's placement in Ross paintings (or any grow shot like that) and this one feels really good. Opposite Captain Marvel, next to Superman. Love the quite smile too. I might have to pick that up, as I really enjoyed the JLA story.
Also, did anyone happen to see the announcement for DC Universe Classics Wave 15?
Martian Manhunter DCUC Figre. I sees a pie symbol...! No medallions though. There's an "alien" face variant, too.
Overall, that figure looks pretty good to me, especially the details in the straps. Finally, the wait is over.
I share the consensus that J'Onn majors in Compassion and minors in Hope. Not a bad color combination for a uniform, either.
Ryan, the copy of the hardcover I used for my related posts came from the library. It had taken a beating, but still held up. It's enough to make a body seriously rethink softcover, especially in that oversized format that's begging the have its spine stressed.
M.C., I like when Ross allows anybody to smile, but especially J'Onn. In fact, with the possible exception of the Flash, everybody looks like on-model classic super-heroes. Superman and Aquaman are especially nice, but I love how J'Onn's skin tone highlights his presence. This cover is better than the hardbound edition, I must say, and that one was also quite good.
Liss, I'd buy that Martian Manhunter figure. The sculpting is solid, I dig the articulation, and he's generally in classic '80s mode. However, the one that really gets me excited to own is Jemm! There are few characters I can think of that I would find more surprising to be scheduled to ship to stores. It looks like they modeled him after that Gary Frank cover, but I love that they kept the elongated Colan fingers. The star pendant is an especially nice touch.
Oh, forgot to thank Liss, and to mention the Manhunter figure looks like a cross between the original DC Direct offering and the 13" doll.
Yep, totally buying J'onn and Jemm from that series. Probably right away, instead of waiting for the inevitable bargain bin.
"I wonder how Paul Dini would do on a MM ongoing or miniseries." Now that I would pay to see, Ryan.
"Willpower...have you seen him with a box of cookies?" Ha...that didn't even cross my mind.
Hey, I didn't even consider him being a Star Sapphire. He certainly loved his family and awful lot. Don't worry about J'onn having to go around half-naked if he were a Star Sapphire. <a href="http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/05/if-predators-a-star-sapphire-wheres-all-his-skin/>Male Star Sapphires get to be dressed head-to-toe.</a> So I'd say Star Sapphire third.
I like to see any artist draw any superhero smiling. It's refreshing!
I forgot to mention the Jemm figure. I thought you'd be psyched for that, Frank. I was thinking they'd just paint J'onn's sculpt red, but they actually made some differences.
