MARTIAN MANHUNTER FAMILY | ||
by Davy Stone & Chip Kraus | ||
Other than Dr. Erdel (sp.?), the scientist who accidentally brought the Martian Manhunter to earth, J'onn J'onzz has never really had a superhero family of his own. A real shame, too, considering the large role he's played in DC comics in general, the JLA in particular. So in the interest of fairness, I decided to give him a family. I wanted to follow a pattern that shows up in several other heroic families (adult hero -- teenage girl -- younger boy), and I quickly realized that there were very obvious choices for Manhunter's family, and fortunately we'd already customizied them!
For the kid sidekick, I chose another obvious choice --
Changeling. It's so obvious, in fact, I'm not sure why these two
haven't hooked up in a mentor-mentee role officially. Gar's coloring
and ability to shape-shift really make him an obvious choice for this
family. I find it quite funny that these two "similar"
characters haven't really been connected in any way. It would have
made a lot of sense, too, given Changeling's role in the Teen Titans, DC's
former "Jr. JLA." Oh well. At least I'VE got enough
sense to get Gar and J'onn together. |
