Of ...Liss, when J'Onn is happy, his story ends. Of course his love life should be tragic. Otherwise, he's naturally domestic, and he can give up sticking his nose into dirty business. Being a Manhunter is just what he does when he isn't able to be his natural self. He can disconnect from this life where other heroes would be compelled to remain.<br /><br />I try to find a way in to all of the characters in Martian Manhunter's circle. I want to see him work, and for that to happen, his universe has to work. D'Kay somehow managed to be a hammy knock-off of Cay'an, of all people, but you know what? If Ma'alefa'ak is Mickey Knox, make D'Kay his Mallory. Suddenly, a nonsensical retcon become integral to a villainous dynasty...Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-14795514340353246812013-02-22T01:53:11.792-06:002013-02-22T01:53:11.792-06:00I'm glad you're highlighting the women in ...I'm glad you're highlighting the women in J'onn's life, Frank.<br /><br />I don't think any modern Vile Menagerie female can hold a candle to Bel Juz. I just can't feel anything for D'Kay.<br /><br />I love the fact that J'onn is a tragic hero. I wouldn't want him any other way. It gives him a perspective on things. And he has enough maturity not to devolve into Bruce Wayne-style histrionics.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-7700385421208413752013-02-15T09:20:54.206-06:002013-02-15T09:20:54.206-06:00@Will_: I feel the exact same way.

Her killing spree was heart breaking and needed to be righted. (was those her real kids)? Her backstory made me feel for her though. Hopefully I'm not a complete Kirk.Omega Agent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882496530451546334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-37323431967099215042013-02-14T22:47:14.027-06:002013-02-14T22:47:14.027-06:00In some respects, I think J'Onn's personal...In some respects, I think J'Onn's personal life in regards to female friends and lovers is very tragic. Superman has Lois Lane, even uber jerk Hal Jordan has Carol Ferris and the Manhunter from Mars seems to be destined to be alone.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
