Martian Manhunter Monday

Once again on a Monday I turn to the subject of the Martian Manhunter.  In his non-comic book appearances, the Martian Manhunter has been played most often by black guys, which makes Manhunter sort of DC's first black super hero.  Sort of.  I always had a thing for him in part because he was clearly not white (in his real identity) and yet a member of the Justice League.

Black guys who have played the Martian Manhunter:

• Carl Lumlby (Justice League cartoon, Static Shock cartoon)
• Dorian Harewood (The Batman cartoon)
• Phil Morris (Smallville)
• Kevin Michael Richardson (Young Justice cartoon)

Just another Manhunter-ic Monday.

Monday short shot today. One way I know that Kathy is a keeper is that she said she'd wear one of these:

How can you let a woman like that get away?

A Martian's favorite word is "Boinga!"

Hot Shot for Monday, September 19, 2011

[Author's note: I have decided that since Monday is almost always a busy night for me, that I would write only very short entries on Monday, which I am going to call Hot Shots (which is better than Hot Messes I suppose).  Enjoy.]

One of my favorite superheroes is the Martian Manhunter.  The fact that he's a loner with weird abilities who feels isolated from his own teammates and rarely shows his true face to anyone is just a coincidence.
