I'm not sure if it's telepathy that drives his compassion or idealism. I like to think of it as the latter. (e.g. Darwyn Cooke's wide-eyed version of J'onn.) I think that carries more weight than just being able to read other people's minds.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-62908106308570086882010-08-22T22:34:50.139-05:002010-08-22T22:34:50.139-05:00Greg, Landry Walker left a comment on the B:TBTB #...Greg, Landry Walker left a comment on the B:TBTB #18 post which links to his personal blog, if you'd like to cut out the middleman. Better to get your questions answered straight from the writer's mouth.<br /><br />What set the Master Gardener apart from other Martian Manhunter villains was his drive to resurrect Mars. Although his route wasn't as direct as General Ma'alefa'ak's, the Master Gardner sought to insidiously conform Earth behavior to an approximation of Martian culture, quite probably while literally compromising the human body with Martian cultures. Also, the Master Gardener was the "sole" Martian survivor in this endeavor, whereas his nearest cousins in agenda, the Marshal and the Hyperclan, worked in concert with other surviving Martians.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-86610159795481024522010-08-22T22:16:15.590-05:002010-08-22T22:16:15.590-05:00Frank, I was catching up on the blog and saw your ...Frank, I was catching up on the blog and saw your Batman Brave and Bold 18. I also saw how you were talking to the writer. Do you know if he purposely wrote Malefic as a White not knowing he was green. Or did he write him like you said as a combination of Commander Blanx and Malefic. Also can you explain how you think he is also combined with the Master Gardner?Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-23670044305392989522010-08-22T17:12:00.785-05:002010-08-22T17:12:00.785-05:00This showcases the J'Onn J'Onzz that many ...This showcases the J'Onn J'Onzz that many of us know and love. Perhaps more so than most heroes, J'Onn understands the importance of treating others with compassion. As a telepath, he can sense and share in the emotions of others.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
