Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

Kal-El was born on the planet Krypton and he was sent to earth as a baby shortly before his planet went kablooey. He was discovered and adopted by a couple living in the town of Smallville known as the Kents. Kal-El, now known as Clark Kent, discovered his superpowers at a young age. Eventually using a sun stone to learn of his heritage, Clark decides to dedicate his life to fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. Clark currently lives a double life in the city of Metropolis as a mild-mannered parent/reporter for the daily planet, and as Superman, the Man of Steel, and the last son of Krypton.

---

• The Ace: He's an All-Loving Hero who's Loved by All the common citizens of Metropolis, a clear winner of the Superpower Lottery and a Nice Guy to boot. He qualifies by default. Even his civilian identity as Clark Kent is one of the Daily Planet's best reporters, where he can use his Super-Speed to type up a story right up to the last seconds of the deadline. Superman's Ace-ness comes from his heart. He will always do the right thing for the benefit of all mankind, and never for himself.
• Action Dad: Clark is the biological father of four children and the adopted father of three adolescents: Connor, Mia, Chris, John, Laura, Carol, and Jane. Forget Clark, Lois Lane is the real superhero here.
• Action Hero: As someone who fights all kinds of criminals in a daily basis, Superman is involved in plenty of action.
• Amicable Exes: He and Lana Lang were High-School Sweethearts, and while they have broken up they remain as good friends.
• Badass Bookworm: In addition to his career as a journalist, Clark has written two best-selling novels "The Janus Contract" and "Under a Yellow Sun".
• Bash Brothers: With his cousin Kara Zor-El.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Superman is one of the nicest easygoing guys you could ever meet but on the rare occasions that someone or something, such as Darkseid, Mongul, or Brainiac, really sets him off, he's almost as scary as Batman. Almost
• Best Friend: Jimmy Olsen is his best friend.
• Blue Is Heroic: His classic blue costume, natch.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": His iconic S symbol of his chest.
• The Cape: The Ur-Example. He could just about be considered the Trope Codifier; the fact that he wears a cape is one of the main reasons why capes are associated with costumed superheroes.
• Chest Insignia: His famous House of El S crest. This one has more resemblance to the Kingdom Come chest logo.
• Child of Two Worlds: Superman is one of the best-known examples of this trope in fiction. He was born on the planet Krypton and raised on earth, and for a while believed he was the last Kryptonian until he met his cousin Cara, the Kryptonian General Zod, and his forces, and technically, milkman man. His struggle to reconcile both sides of his heritage would take a significant part of his history.
• Clark Kenting: The Trope Codifier.
• Clark Kent Outfit: Trope Namer. For the most part, he wears oversized clothes to hide his imposing physique in his civillian identity. If someone takes notice, he can just say he works out.
• Convenient Coma: This is one of the few times where a coma can be called convenient. Unlike other adaptations in media where he does technically get killed fighting the monstrous Doomsday, here he was almost killed and it caused him to enter a comatose state due to his injuries until Adrianna Tereshkova, AKA Void, and Lord Emp gave him the Kherubim elixir to wake him up.
• Costume Evolution: Went from the classic blue suit with red undies at the beginning of his career as a hero and founding member of the JLA to an advanced Kryptonian Armor suit which is a combination of both New 52 and DCEU outfits.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: On more than one occasion has Superman managed to outpunch one punch man as he is single handedly defeated demonic creatures from hell, physical gods, and literal gods. He wants defeated an entity that was essentially the embodiment of the universal desire for annihilation in oblivion by channeling the literal power of hope and desire for life threw himself into a punch. If it wasn't for the heat vision, X-ray vision, freeze breath, super speed, and invulnerability, I'd compare him to Tony Stark: a one-trick pony. seriously why does this man love punches?
• Endearingly Dorky: Several times, especially as Clark Kent. His shyness and sweet nature are very much genuine.
• Eye Beams: Superman can fire intense beams of cheat from his eyes. It is theorized that the beams are pure plasma meaning they can most likely cut through steel beams in a few seconds. The beams can be made invisible, allowing him to work on detected, go and fired at full strength the effect is strong enough to wipe out entire cities.
• Farm Boy: Was raised as one.
• Flight: Superman is capable of defying gravity and flying at supersonic speeds with his maximum speed being 7000 mph. That makes him over 5 to 6000 times faster than Homelander from The Boys, who can fly up to 1400 mph. It's possible Supes can even fly faster in space.
• The Glasses Come Off: Just when Clark does it, it's a different reason than the trope usually has.
• Happily Adopted: With the Kent Family.
• Happily Married: He's married to Lois Lane.
• Hope Bringer: He's an inspiring beacon of hope.
• Humble Hero: One of his definitive character traits.
• I Am Who?: At the time Clark discovered his powers on his childhood and through his teenage years, and learnt he's an alien he ran away to Opal City, but eventually came back.
• Ideal Hero: Duh.
• Intrepid Reporter: Clark is one of the best reporters on the Daily Planet payroll, bested only by his wife Lois Lane... though Clark is much better at spelling and grammar.
• Kryptonite Factor: Clark here is the Trope Namer for this one due to his weakness to kryptonite, which are radioactive rocks of varying color that are also debris from his home planet. As for other weaknesses, he's not really immune to magic, he cannot see through lead with his X-ray vision, red sun radiation can temporarily remove his powers, and Batman recently developed synthetic kryptonite chewing gum that can rob Superman of his powers.
• The Leader: Superman has proven many times over his ability to command respect and inspire others with his charisma, ardor, and idealism. He often serves as the primus inter pares of the Justice League.
• Loved by All: Everyone in Metropolis loves him, and he loves them back. Well, everyone that isn't an unrepentant criminal and/or a through-and-through villain, like (and especially) Lex Luthor. It helps that in addition to his heroics, he frequently makes public appearances for charity, and accepts interviews regularly to achieve as much transparency as possible.
• Mundane Utility: He uses his laser eyes to sew clothing and shave himself.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: His body is nigh-invulnerable due to his superhumanly dense cellular and anatomical structure as well as his radiating bio-electrical aura. Superman is under some circumstances resistant or immune to different forms and levels of lacerations, blunt force trauma, energy-based assaults, falls from great heights, explosions, the cold void of space, toxins and all known diseases on Earth.
• Official Couple: With Lois Lane, natch.
• Old Friend: Both Chloe Sullivan and Pete Ross are his oldest friends.
• Papa Wolf: Being the nice guy and great hero he is, Superman obviously falls under this trope. Especially mess with Karen, his adopted children Conner, Mia and Chris or his biological children Jon, Laura, Carol and Jane, and you'll be under a worse ass-beating than usual from Supes.
• The Patriarch: While it doesn't come up that often, Kal is the current patriarch of the House of El.
• Primary-Color Champion: His trademark blue suit with red cape, boots and insignia.
• Sensory Overload: Because of his super hearing, Superman's ears are extra-sensitive to extreme noises.
• Super-Breath: He can create hurricane force winds by blowing, and also chill his breath to freeze a target. He can also breathe in large amounts of air to dispel clouds of gas by exhaling it.
• Superpower Lottery: The undisputed champion of this trope, who demonstrates powers like solar explosions, heat vision, Flight, multi-story jumping, Nigh-Invulnerability, freeze breath, Super-Intelligence, Super-Speed, Super-Strength, Super-Senses, Super Will, X-Ray Vision, etc.
• Super-Senses: He has superhearing that allows him to hear clouds scraping together or a cell splitting, or hear across a vacuum, telescopic vision, microscopic vision that allows him to see electrons, can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum (including infrared, X-Ray, etc.), and more.
• Super-Strength: The exact limits of Superman's strength are unknown, but he has demonstrated the capacity to lift nearly 400 metric tons with exertion, thereby categorizing his strength in the Class 8 Enhanced Strength Threshold as cataloged by ARGUS, making him one of the strongest beings on Earth. Different periods and intensities of exposure to Earth's solar radiation can cause his strength to fluctuate over time.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Clark's favorite meals include Hot Dogs, Beef Bourguignon, and Rhubarb Pie. He also likes the pretzels with mustard from the pretzel vendor two blocks down from the Daily Planet.
• Underwear of Power: Certainly a Trope Codifier. He used to wear his signature Red Trunks after starting his career as a Superhero.
• X-Ray Vision: The Trope Namer. He has the ability to see through anything except lead. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays.
• Working-Class Hero: Despite his superheroism, he still does his job at the Daily Planet to pay his bills.
• World's Best Warrior: Played with. People only think Superman is this. The truth is that, while Superman has the power and combat experience to go with this trope, he is not a warrior by nature and chooses to focus on protection instead of combat.
• We Used to Be Friends: With Lex Luthor, now they're rivals and unknown enemies on Lex's part.

• Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: Diana was sponsored by the US Government when they chose to capitalize on her's abilities and in turn, Diana had the US Military appoint Steve Trevor to her as a guide, liaison, pilot, and companion. In her search for Circe, Diana became embroiled not only in wars and government spycraft which Captain Trevor was able to help her with. However, her high ideals and wondrous abilities also swept her into the burgeoning field of costumed crusaders, and that required Diana to make a different sort of friends.

• Impossibly Cool Weapon: Wonder Woman has weapons forged by Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths. Most famous is her Golden Lasso; unbreakable and anyone bound by it must tell the truth. The other most famous of Wonder Woman's accouterments are her bracelets, gifted by Aphrodite and nigh indestructible. She also wields the Sword of Hephaestus, which is sharp enough to split molecules and because it is magic, can kill Superman. She can even use her tiara as a makeshift, sharp boomerang.

• Knows the Ropes: Her Lasso of Truth is her most iconic weapon.

• The Mentor: She's had several mentors, among them Julia Kapatelis, her aunt Antiope, her mother Hippolyta, and I Ching.

• Super-Reflexes: How else can she deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets?
• Super-Strength: Granted by Demeter. Because of her link to the planet granted to her, Diana claims to be "Stronger than Hercules".

A.R.G.U.S. ranks Wonder Woman in the Class 7 Enhanced Strength category.
• Sword and Fist: Wonder Woman is trained in the art of the sword but typically fights empty-handed. Given she has strength and speed on par with Superman, her punches and kicks are normally all she needs to get the job done.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Diana's guilty pleasures are food from Taco Whiz and ice cream. She loves Taco Whiz so much, she has made an arrangement with the owner of a Taco Whiz in Gateway City to get free food whenever she shows up in costume to take pictures with the kids. She makes sure to do so at least once a month now.
• The Unmasked World: Revealing herself to the world showed the rest of the planet that magic, as well as other myths and legends, were all true, giving rise to parapsychology as a major science field.

She also has an instinctive ability to understand, read, write, and speak many Earthly languages her native Themysciran, Ancient and Modern Greek, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin Chinese (she expressed "difficulty" with the tones of Cantonese during an interview with Lois Lane), Russian and Hindi. Plus, through precise muscle control, she can mimic other people's voices for short conversations. It is much more difficult, for her to mimic a man's voice than another woman's voice.
• World's Most Beautiful Woman: She is canonically supposed to be this, having been blessed at birth by the goddess Aphrodite.

The Flash (Barry Allen)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

Bartholomew “Barry” Allen is the only surviving son of Henry and Nora Allen (Barry’s twin brother died in childbirth). As a child in Fallville, Iowa, Barry was known for being late, often daydreaming, and always having his head in the pages of a comic book or science fiction novel. When Barry was twelve, his life turned upside when he came home from the library to find his mother murdered. Police arrested Barry’s father, who professed his innocence. Barry swore that he would find a way to prove his father’s innocence.

When Barry stumbled upon his father’s file in his lab, Barry sat down and looked at it once more. In an epiphany, Barry saw he had overlooked a key piece of evidence that revealed Henry had killed Nora. Devastated that he had spent his entire life dedicated to a lie, Barry began to tear his lab apart, getting doused in chemicals in the process. Still enraged, Barry then ran to the rooftop (possibly to throw himself from the roof) where he had fateful encounter with a lightning bolt.

After being struck by a lightning bolt, Barry Allen slipped into a coma for six months. When he awoke, he soon discovered that a latent metahuman gene in his body had activated, changing his body to give him enhanced reflexes, an accelerated metabolism (seriously, you would not believe how much food this guy puts away on a slow day), enhanced vision, a turbocharged brain, and of course superspeed. Being the good-hearted person that he was, Barry decided to become a crime fighter like the heroes in the comic books he always reads.

---

• Action Dad: Father of Bart Allen & Jessie Allen.
• Badass Bookworm: He likes reading and science. And he is probably the most powerful man alive.
• Battle Couple: Iris is a Badass Normal Action Girl, and she isn't shy about joining Barry in the field from time to time.
• Big Eater: Pretty much a given because he has to eat to regain his super speed. He requires tremendous amounts of energy to run at superspeed and maintain his speedster physiology. Though Barry usually does this through special energy bars that Cisco has cooked up, he still requires no less than seven high-calorie meals per day to maintain his powers at peak levels. Skipping a meal has a distinct effect on his performance. If you think all this sounds bad, you should how much a teenage speedster needs to put away... Yeesh!
• Birds of a Feather: Barry shares a birthday with his wife Iris.
• Blow You Away: By rotating his arms at super speed or running in a circular motion, Barry can manipulate the airflow around him to create strong vortexes of wind.
• Chest Insignia: A golden lightning bolt.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: His biggest and probably only flaw. He wants to fix everything and help everyone but his lack of time management makes everything actually worse.

• Dimension Traveller: Barry is capable of breaking the dimensional barrier with his speed to traverse between dimensions.

• The Everyman: Be it among the JLA or team Flash, he's just a noble nerd with a penchant for heroism.
• Flash Step: No pun intended. There's a reason why he was nicknamed "the Flash" at first. To normals, whenever Barry uses his speed, all that's seen is a trail of lightning.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Not to the extent of Cisco, but he can put together some impressive tech.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde and an angel without wings.
• Happily Married: With Iris West.

• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: According to John Stewart, Barry's optimism and overall sense of hope would be enough to power a Blue Lantern ring, should one become available.
• Insufferable Genius: Cisco saw Barry annoying like this when he's sick of hearing his known "Flash Facts". Cisco's ready to beat him with a keyboard if he hears another one.
• The Lab Rat: The Trope Codifier.
• Loves My Alter Ego: Subverted. Iris was already in love with him as Barry Allen by the time he became Flash. He spent most of his initial run as Flash married to her.
• Megaton Punch: Because Barry can punch past the speed of light, his fists attain infinite mass.
• Motor Mouth: It's hard to get him to stop once he starts talking.
• My Greatest Failure: Barry feels partially responsible for his mother's death. This irrational guilt has caused him to subconsciously punish himself by distancing Barry from his loved ones, which comes back to bite him.
• Nerds Are Sexy: Considering that he is a scientist who is a combination of a dork and Mr. Fanservice, Barry definitely qualifies as a very attractive nerd.
• Never Gets Drunk: Thanks to fast metabolism, the most Barry can get is a slight buzz, and that's from drinking heavy, heavy alcohol.
• Nice Guy: Barry is the archetypal Silver Age hero, complete with being one of the nicest guys around.
• Papa Wolf: Attack his family and he will make you hurt. Big Time with Wally West/Impulse, his nephew and his children Jessie Allen/Miss Quick and Bart Allen/Kid Flash.
• Parental Abandonment: Barry's mom was murdered when he was twelve, and his father was convicted for the murder.
• Perma-Stubble: Barry needs to shave three times a day to prevent blowing his secret identity. Barry has found it easier to use a pair of electric clippers and maintain a certain level of stubble rather than deal with trying to be clean-shaven 24/7... not to mention the cost of razors.
• The Pollyanna: He is an eternal optimist who always sees the best in every situation. He's an easy-going and laid-back person who has huge amounts of patience, understanding, and kindness for most everybody. His life motto is literally "Every second is a gift". Can't get more optimistic than that.
• Power Incontinence: Despite his superspeed, Barry is late for just about everything.
• The Professor: By far the most overtly intelligent of the speedsters, and a forensic scientist by trade.
• Pungeon Master: His usual sense of humor.
• Red Baron: "Fastest Man Alive".
• Red Is Heroic: a.k.a The Scarlet Speedster.
• Science Hero: He's a CSI scientist, and uses his speed in creative ways with his science knowledge.
• Shock and Awe: When moving at super-speed, Barry generates electric energy that he has learned to manipulate to a certain degree, enabling him to expel bolts of lightning in combat.
• Super-Speed: He's the Flash aka The Fastest Man Alive. Barry is arguably one of the fastest beings in all of existence. He is fast enough to easily outpace Superman. His top speed is unknown, but he has been clocked at moving Mach 25 (19,000 MPH).
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: While he'll definitely go above and beyond to not kill someone, he will do it if necessary. He's made it clear that, being a cop, he can see it is the only right choice sometimes. Surprisingly, Barry supports the death penalty.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and Ralph Dibny/Elastic Man.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: He is known for being always optimistic and hoping for the best in any situation, even when said optimism isn't just unrealistic, but downright dangerous.

• Battle Couple: With Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.
• Birds of a Feather: Dinah's blood type is AB-, the same as Oliver Queen's.

• Cool Bike: The Canary Cycle, Dinah has a Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster called but with custom handlebars and tank, with a reinforced frame, souped-up Kord Automotive Engine, and armored plating.
• Domino Mask: In her early career, Dinah wore a mask but has since given up on it, though the fact that Huntress' own mask resembles her old one has not gone unnoticed by her and serves as a constant source for friendly banter.
• Empowered Badass Normal: She is an excellent fighter. With the addition of her sonic power, she is more badass.
• Fight Like a Normal: She very rarely actually uses her "Canary Cry" ability and she's probably gone on streaks of not using it at all, but she's a martial artist good enough to give Lady Shiva pause.
• Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Dinah ends up pregnant with Ollie's child but after he inadvertently cheated Dinah with her own sister Sara who was under orders from his evil ex Nyssa, she decided to give birth to a daughter and had no choice to put her child on adoption by fear of being targeted by her enemies.

• Happily Married: She married Ollie once. Until Nyssa Al'Ghul forced her sister Sara to cheat with Ollie in front of her causing the married couple to divorce and remain as partners Though Dinah knows this was not Ollie's fault as he had been drugged, she still needed some space.

• Logical Weakness: A sufficiently powerful and accurate blow to Dinah's throat can cause her to lose the ability to use her Canary Cry effectively.

• Related in the Adaptation: In E27 version she and Tim Drake are cousins due to a philandering shared grandfather, though this was only figured out later due to the distance between both Drake families.
• Sonic Scream: Her Canary Cry sonic attack. Her scream has been shown to be strong enough to make Superman's ears bleed so Barbara took some liberties and decided a combination of a direct hit at full power, with the sensory overload of a guy with super-hearing... yeah, that could knock out Big Blue.

• Team Member in the Adaptation: Dinah takes the place of Aquaman as founding member of the Justice League.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: She is this with Huntress after some initial... rivalries.
• Warrior Therapist: Dinah has taken a number of psychology night courses to aid her substance abuse therapy volunteering efforts. Her interest in this field field stems from her father's struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse, a condition which Dinah herself is genetically predisposed to but has never had a problem herself.

• Composite Character: While he has the looks from the Arrowverse, his personality has more in common with his Comic-book and DCAU incarnation.

Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz)

^{Click for John Jones} 

The Alien Atlas. The mysterious Manhunter from Mars is one of the JLA's longest-serving members. Although he arrived on Earth in the 1940s, J'onn laid low for decades before he felt comfortable revealing himself to humanity and quickly became one of the Justice League's founding members. Underneath his cold exterior is a warm and caring soul, and many consider him to be The Heart of the League.

---

• The Ageless: He can certainly be killed, but if Martians age at all, it must be incredibly slowly.
• Alliterative Name: Both his real name and his codename.
• Arch-Enemy: Malefic and Despero are his most personal foes.
• Badass Arm-Fold: A common pose of his.
• Bald Head of Toughness: He's bald in his default Martian form, and he's one of the toughest members of the Justice League, unless there's fire involved.
• Big Damn Heroes: He's gotten into something of a habit of doing this.
• Brutal Honesty: Does not mince words or sugar coat the facts when explaining the direness of situations.
• The Cape: He is the most well-loved superhero in the entire southern hemisphere of Earth, and he is more powerful than Supes under certain circumstances.
• Composite Character: In Earth-27, J'onn is a composite character with John Tane and Mark Shaw. John Tane is the western era hero Johnny Thunder, who was also part of the Rough Bunch, with Hawkman's previous reincarnation as Nighthawk and Jonah Hex; Mark Shaw was one of the people who took the name Manhunter in the comics.
• Creepy Good: Although one of the most kind and noble heroes in the DCU, J'onn's glowing red eyes, stoic demeanor and ability to shapeshift does creep out a lot of people, even meta-humans.
• Friendly Rivalry: From his work as a Manhunter, J'onn has developed a friendship with fellow Manhunter Lobo.
• Genius Bruiser: The Martian Manhunter possesses highly advanced reasoning and logic capabilities and uses them to great effect. Despero once claimed that Ted Kord's mind (IQ 192) was the most intelligent mind he had ever encountered, with J'onn J'onzz being the previous bearer of such an honor. The Martian Manhunter's particularly astute reasoning capabilities and long-term association with Earth's global population give him an edge in dealing with humans of diverse governments, cultures, and religions. As a result, in the northern hemisphere of Earth, the Manhunter is one of many costumed adventurers battling against entropy, yet in the southern hemisphere, he is more well-known than even Superman and is very highly praised in South American nations.
• Gentle Giant: While his shapeshifting makes him vary in size, shape and form. In any variation of his normal form, he is kind, gentle, compassionate and patient.
• Honorary Uncle: For Megan Morse/M'gann M'orzz/Miss Martian. They aren't really related but he treats her like his true niece.
• Humorless Aliens: Might seem like one, is actually very warm and friendly by Martian standards.
• I Have Many Names: "J.J.", Martian Manhunter, Marco Xavier, William Dyer, John Tane, Mark Shaw.
• Intangibility: He can phase through solid matter, but no explanation of this power has been given.
• Mind Probe: The Martian Manhunter can also use his telepathic abilities in an offensive manner. He has the ability to cause mental shutdown in a target using his psionic powers. The Manhunter does not use this power often due to the invasive nature and harshness of such a telepathic attack.
• Mission Control: One of his most essential roles in the Justice League. Thanks to his keen intellect, strategic mind and psychic powers, J'onn can serve as kind of switchboard operator, keeping the other members of the League in mental communication through him to coordinate strategies and maneuvers during battle.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: The bio-morphic structure of the Manhunter's body allows him to absorb almost all kinetic energies such as high caliber-bullets, shrapnel, or flying debris easily. He can harden his bio-polymers by rebinding them and increase his durability to the point where he is nearly on par with Superman.
• Older Than They Look: J'onn is well over 200 years old and he still describes himself as 'in his prime'. Apparently Martians are known to live in excess of 700 Earth years.
• Parental Substitute: J'onn acts as the surrogate father of Cynthia Reynolds/Mirage. Cisco's little nervous around J'onn because Cynthia considers him to be her surrogate father.
• Primary-Color Champion: J'onn's Martian Manhunter outfit is mostly blue and red, and despite his apparent aloofness, he's a true heroic champion.
• Psychic Radar: The Manhunter can use his telepathy to pinpoint the location of a desired individual, at some pretty fantastic ranges. Just as well, since he generally has to fly up into orbit in order to not get confused by all the ambient thinking.
• Scary Black Man: In his cover identity, he's tall and has an imposing demeanor. The Red Eyes, Take Warning just adds more to it.
• Shapeshifter Longevity: J'onn has been around for a very long time, and Martians are shapeshifters by default.
• Space Police: Back on Mars, J'onn was a "Manhunter", which is basically a very high-profile policeman. His mother was one, too.
• The Spock: J'onn possesses a wealth of scientific knowledge and technological expertise, crucial to the success of the Justice League.
• Sweet Tooth: J'onn's taste for Choco cookies (essentially chocolate Oreos) is carried over from the comics.
• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: He is a tall and imposing man. Even as J'onn, he's very guarded and wary to trust others.
• Telepathy: J'onn's most frequently used power these days. It's shared by all other Green & White Martians (save Malefic), and by Despero, who also features Mind over Matter, Playing with Fire, and Reality Warper abilities.
• Trademark Favourite Food: The Choco cookies (Oreos). His friends and Megan even think of doing an intervention.
• Voluntary Shape Shifting: He is able to literally control the molecular structure of his body's bio-polymer and make it resemble anything he wants. He can form clothing and weapons with non-moving or non-functioning parts. There does not seem to be any limit to the number of people the Manhunter can imitate and has stood in as a double for many famous people. He is also able to change colors.
• Weaksauce Weakness: He has allergic reactions to fire and intense heat.
