Which version of Martian Manhunter do you all think is the best? There's a few versions of him that are similar but also somewhat different. I'm having trouble deciding which one should be the 'definative' version of him in my collection. What do you all think?

I like the Brightest Day one, followed by Origins veteran.

The BatB normal Rare one. That 20 DV is absolutely awesome.

I REALLY want to say the Brave and the Bold version. However, every time I play him I get a little sad when I remember he has no Super Strength, and his keywords are the very definition of limiting. But even with those two strikes against him, he is my go to J'onn.

Depends: Team Player: RE from origins.

Powerhouses: Big Ostrander's Cookie Throne Smaller Brightest Day half and half

I forgot all about cookie monster

Brave and the Bold one, traited phasing/teleport and shape change do it for me.

How could you forget about the Cookie Monster!?

For me its Cookie Monster and then the BD version.

Both are excellent versions of him (and excelent pieces in heroclix in general) depending on what you need but Cookie Monster has some nice options and you can make cookie jokes.

I like LE Detective John Jones

BatB, then BD, then Black Lantern.

for definitive martian manhunter,

le det john jones for keywords

cookie monster for powers

brightest day for detective/lower point teams

Cookies, then Black Lantern, and then Brightest Day!

Cookie Monster then Brightest Day versions of him.
Cookie Monster is one of my favorite figs to use!

Cookie Monster, then Brightest day. then the VEt from origins. It took me two years to get him.


The Black lantern is at the bottom. I've hosed him with my eyes closed more times than i can count. I've never seen him do anything other than get plastered

Mine's the E from Origins. I think it's a really good representation of J'onn. I don't really think he should have hypersonic for one thing. He may have the ability, but he doesn't use it in battle often.

I really like that version's support powers (leadership/perplex/prob) to represent his telepathy, rather than some other versions mind control, and the fact that he goes from charge into battle, to sneaky, to charge into battle again, which again feels like J'onn should play to me. The only real gripe I have with the figure is that I wish his defense was a little better.

It also helps that I replaced the Origins sculpt with the Cosmic Justice one.
