Yes, But Would He Rather Be Aquaman?
Some superheroes just can't catch a break...
As movie projects featuring founding members of comic book land's Justice
League of America ramp up, the green-skinned detective from our solar system's
fourth planet can't get arrested in Hollywood.
Which begs the question: So, um, who's Martian Manhunter?
"The Martian Manhunter is the Shemp of the Justice League," says TV
writer-producer and comics guru Mark Evanier.
More specifically, Martian Manhunter is one of the seven original members
of the JLA, the all-star superhero collective founded by DC Comics in 1960.
The other founding heroes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash,
Aquaman and the Green Lantern. Each character has a movie on the way, a deal in
the works or a rumor in the mill.
You know, unlike Martian Manhunter.
If he was smart, he'd claim discrimination. Once the inauguration is over, Jesse Jackson will be looking for something to protest.
