Questions about Miss Martian


I was talking to my friend alilloki when I mentioned my confusion about Miss Martian. I had thought about doing research on  Miss Martian in other things likes comics but I remembered how the producers always make a point that the show doesn't follow other sources. In "Image", episode 21, it was revealed that Miss Martian is actually a White Martian and will almost do anything to hide how she really looks. After that I started to wonder about her and Martian Manhunter's relation. Can she be his niece when she is White species and Manhunter is Green? Also wouldn't he know that she is a White Martian? Either he knows that she is a White Martian and keeps it secret also or he doesn't. So that is what I think about when Miss Martian comes into my thoughts.

Any thoughts on my question? What are your theories and do you have any questions surrounding MM?

  1. I've been wondering the exact same thing. Can they be related when he is green and she is white? I don't know. I don't know if Green Martians or White Martians can, you know, breed together. Because if they can, he might have a brother/sister that is green that had kids with a White Martian, so I suppose the answer lies in whether it's normal for White Martians and Green Martians to have kids.

    Then again, the way we saw Miss Martians inner fear made me think he doesn't know since she believe Maritan Manhunter would "banish her to Mars" if he found out? However, he may be hiding it and she believes that if the others find out he would send her back to Mars.

    I don't see that happening though. So, my theory is that he doesn't know. On Mars they have far more relations than humans do so it's quite possible Martian Manhunter doesn't know half of them. Thus, it could have been easy for M'gann to convince him she, in fact, was his niece if that wasn't the truth.

    My theory is, however, that he doesn't know she is white, but if it's possible for White Martians and Green Martians to have kids, I don't think it's impossible she's his niece.

    It's just a theory though. Hopefully we'll get our answers by the end of season 1 (:

    1. I had thought too that she could be mixed with Green but her White Alien DNA comes out more. It would be great if Manhunter did know and kept the secret for her.

  2. Well, their relationship is still being a mystery to me, and I already saw all episodes of the first season! MM don't say anything about her "uncle", even when she tells to the others how she looks like. It's a big mystery that I think that only will be answered in the second season! We'll have to wait to see XD

    1. Oh I didn't know she reveals her true form to her team members, its good that she does! Maybe she does let her uncle know in season 2 since it is an alien invasion season.

    2. Well, he already know about her, we can see this in the last episode, but he doesn't say a thing about it. I think she's his niece, and he brought her to Earth just to protect her from prejudice of the others martians! I think that a couple of green martians can have a sun who's a white marcian. This can be just like Aqualad's story, hes a "impure" in Atlantis, just because he's half fish. And I think that his parents are "pure". But this is just a theory, we'll have to wait to see.

    3. I get it now, thanks for clearing that up my friend (*in Aquald's voice*) lol ignore my goofiness.

  3. I would have thought Martian Manhunter already knew, at least that's the most likely theory to me, and he kinda took pity on her in a way, and brought to Earth so she could "start over" or find a better life as white martians are looked down upon on Mars.

    I've also wondered about that comment he made about M'gann having stronger mental abilities even than himself. Could she have managed to trick him into thinking she's a green martian? Idk, M'gann just doesn't seem quite that devious to me . . . although there is that whole Queen Bee thing, so maybe she could be.

    Would write a little more but, I have class. I like the question, though, as I've wondered about it myself.

    1. I like your theory that he felt for her and helped her with a better life by allowing her to look like a Green Martian. Also if that is true then M'gann might consider J'onn an uncle because he's been very nice.

      Yeah she could also be making J'onn believe that she is niece by mind controlling him but like you wrote, she doesn't seem like she would do that and her powers are raw and not fully controlled so he still has more power over her so maybe he wouldn't be mind controlled by her over a long periods of time.

  4. I think they are probably still related. I mean it's the same with people or animals. Things of different races or species can still be related. In one of the episodes, though, I think it said J'onn only knew her for a while before she came to Earth. So, I'm not sure...

    1. That's true, I guess they are the same species - Martians, but just different skin colors maybe?

  5. I've heard that she snuck onto his ship and used her powers to make him believe that she was his neice. In episode 16, at the end, he said that she had the strongest mind powers that he had ever seen and that made me wonder. But in 21, when it showed him banishing her to Mars, I thought that was because white martians there were treated badly and that he din't want to see her again, on Earth at least. That's my opinion, at least.

    1. Why do I feel like I read that story too? Might be true, and if so then some crazy stuff will go on since M'gann tricked him. Also I did notice what J'onn said about M'gann and I too thought maybe she made him believe that she was his niece.
