As is common among telepaths, the Martian Manhunter is an intensely silent figure. Even in his darkest moments, his mood is often reflected only by the expression in his eyes. When he speaks, others listen. His accent is deep and indescribable: the sound of red sand on a Martian plain, the scent of his homeworld twinkling on a cloudless night. Possibly the most highly-regarded by his JLA member of every incarnation of the team, an alien whose loyalty to his adopted world is beyond words. The others meet socially on occasion, but J'onn prefers to use his shape-changing powers to maintain several identies where he can move among the humans he admires so much and learn firsthand what it means to think aloud with such awkward beauty. Tellingly, J'onn is the only Leaguer to who Batman defers. Green Lantern is his favorite of the group, Aztek is the one he knows he has a secret.
