    Dude could fly, had superhuman strength. The only thing that could hurt him...fire. He gets no respect at all.

    The Martian Manhunter debuted in the back-up story "The Strange Experiment of
    Dr. Erdel" in Detective Comics #225 (Nov. 1955), written by Joseph Samachson and illustrated by Joe Certa; the character is a green-skinned extraterrestrial humanoid from the planet Mars, who is pulled to earth by an experimental teleportation beam (originally presented as an attempted communication device) constructed by Dr. Saul Erdel. The Martian tells Erdel where he is from, and is told to send him back will require the Computer Brain's thinking plot to be changed. The shock of the encounter kills Dr. Erdel and leaves J'onn with no method of returning home. The character decides to fight crime while waiting for Martian technology to advance to a stage that will enable his rescue. To that end, he adopts the iden y of John Jones, a detective in the fictional Middletown, U.S.A.[3] He is thought to have been inspired by a story in Batman #78 where a Martian Lawman comes to Earth and teams up with Batman and Robin to capture the Stranger, a Martian criminal called Quork who has stolen a spaceship and come to Earth.
    During this period, the character and his back story differ in some minor and some significant ways from modern treatments. Firstly, as with his counterpart, the Silver Age Superman, his power range is poorly defined, and his powers expand over time as the plot demands. The addition of precognitive abilities (Detective Comics #226) are quickly followed by telepathy and flight,[4][5] "Atomic vision", super-hearing,[6] and many other powers. In addition, his customary weakness to fire is only manifested when he is in his native Martian form.
    A more significant difference is that at this time, there is no suggestion that Mars is a dead planet or that the character is the last of his kind. Many of the tales of the time feature either Martian technology or the appearance of other Martian characters, Detective Comics #236 (October 1956), for example, features the character making contact with the planet Mars and his parents.

    While in high school he ran a 4.33. Coming up just short of the 4.32 school record held by Xzulio Dazuio. Dazuio would go on to become the Martian National record holder while at Zuloz State. His 4.11 still stands.
    The fastest football players are faster the manhunter? Lame.

    Only Superman among the DC heros could have kicked his ass.
    Looks to me that he would prefer Superman spank his ass.
