(Sorry I wasn't there to singlehandedly get Adam Strange out of that first round.)<br /><br />I like the Phantom Stranger well enough (well, before the new 52) but wouldn't have had a problem voting for J'onn in that matchup. (Blue Beetle vs. Booster Gold--that is downright cruel.)<br /><br />I think you guys on are to something with J'onn's growing popularity in the wake of the Cyborg debacle. Sometimes it takes a really boneheaded change to make you appreciate what you had before.

The heightened visibility also make him a magnet for criticism, but then you get someone like Cyborg to replace him and the dissent ramps up. A lot of readers embraced the Morrison JLA model, so it doesn't feel "right" without the Manhunter. I still want more "alone time" in a solo series, though.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-14658659305791118322013-11-27T05:18:01.626-06:002013-11-27T05:18:01.626-06:00That contest was really fun, put I did struggle wi...That contest was really fun, put I did struggle with choosing between Martian Manhunter and The Atom. <br /><br /><br />But it seems to be that Martian Manhunter has a newfound increased popularity. Nearly every comic book realted site seems to have many people who are now fans of Martian Manhunter. Maybe Cyborg on the League inversely benefited J'onn.MartianManhunterIsBetterThanCyborgnoreply@blogger.com
