Speed Feat: During Terror Incognita the white martians had created flame damping towers which prohibited combustion. This caused the earth's atmosphere to fireproofed and made flames of fire anywhere on earth impossible.
The major side effect to this was that plant life as well as animal life began to die. People everywhere began to freeze, and breezing in air as oxygen for life was become harder to do by the second. All human life was going to die soon, a matter of minutes.
The JLA, including members Superman, Wonder woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Plastic man couldn't do anything in time to stop the catastrophic impact of the fire damping towers, even though batman diligently urge to break off the fight.
They were in battle with a squad of white martians who had already succeeded in bruising them by ganging up on the JLA, using two or more white martians for every member of the JLA. Two attacked flash, four deceived and attacked superman, five deceived and attacked Wonder woman and plastic man, while three attacked green lantern, who had already endured superman being smashed into him at high velocity by the white martians that jumped him.
The Jla was down by Three in the bottom of the Ninth, with 2 outs, a man up to bat with the bases loaded so the speak. Break the fight, 6 billion people are about to take their final breath, Batman says.
At this moment, with less that a second to go, The Martian Manhunter after breaking free of his white martian captors and using telepathic spikes, then intangibility to put his hands through the chest of the two white martians that guarded him. The Martian Manhunter then speed blisses around the earth and destroys all the fire damping towers, one being located on each continent and after this super speed punches the four white martians who had rip plastic man's body apart from shoulder to waist(one of them did this with Martian vision), and then used martian vision to attempt melting him before Green lantern intervened and as a result got his arm broken by the one of the martians in the process.
All four of the white Martians were knocked out by Manhunter's super speed/strength punches. he had also surprised and knocked out one of the white martians who attacked Flash on his way to help Kyle and Plastic man. He did all these things, from getting loose to tearing apart every fire proofing on each continent, to knocking at those white martians in what surely appeared to be less then a second. It was very impressive, a display of dynamic speed and power.
That was very impressive Glimmerone, what storyline was that? I'd like to read it.
There are examples like that for everyone however. For example, during the Imperiex saga, MM was easily defeated by a probe. This was along with Flash, GL, Aquaman, and a Fully Armored Wonder Woman.
Once pissed, Supes was taking out probes like butter.
Also while Supes was able to hold Asmodel, MM was burning just trying to touch him. Was defeated the 1st time, and killed the second time (easily.)
Supes also defeated Proteus, who was a well trained warrior white martian.

Look at all this anti-Supermanism. lolOr Martian Manhunter Fanboyism.
I cannot believe what I'm reading here, guys..bad thread, seriously.
I mean everyone's making Superman out to be this ragdoll when everyone know that that wont be the case.
This isn't a case of "MM fanboyism". The whole "Wolverine can take Thanos because of his healing factor" or "Spidey can beat the Spectre because of his Spideysense" are examples of fanboyism...based on their powers, feats etc...MM would win. And I love supes by the way. I think his powers make him a low-level cosmic being.
Yeah I know, everyone has their highs and lows, and maybe with a special or some unique feat/s. I just wanted to mention this one for the Martian Manhunter, since I thought it was a good one.
Hey Avalonofthewind, the story line is JLA:Terror Incognita(It runs from issues 55-58 of JLA, there may be a trade back out, I don't know for sure). Its when the White Martian got free once more after being beaten and imprison in the Phantom Zone during JLA: Year One. During this fight with the JLA, instead of outright facing them directly, they decided to remain hidden and attack after their sinister plans were close to reaching success and then they would be near unbeatable.
However, Batman through his detective skills caught on to some points that led him to their hideout and they were force to act and attack ahead of their planned time to do so.
I would like Martian Manhunter to take this but his weakness to fire is as apparent as superman's weakness to krytonite. Superman is going to win through some very hot leasers coming from superman eyes. The battle is not going to be cheap superman still has to get Martian Manhunter in the right position so as to effectively use his ace in the hole.

BS!
MM can lift far more than 80 tons.
And by the way the whole '100 ton scale' is a Marvel scale ....it isn't applicable for DC characters (who operate at a far hgiher level).
Consider that during an attack by White Martians the JLA decided to move Earth's moon, and 3 characters went up to move it by hand.
The three were:
WonderWoman
Superman
Martian Manhunter.
To move a third of the moon's mass requires far far FAR more than an '80 ton' moving capacity.

I have an old school JLA comic where MM states that he is more powerful than superman...
Not just that, but in JLA: Trial by Fire Superman states that MArtian Manhunter is the one being he'd fear to face in open combat the most.
In another comic Superman says that MM is 'more powerful than the entire JLA combined.' That was the comic that had that police officer from the Krypton like world who had all of Superman's strengths.
In another MM was referred to as the most powerful JLAer.
MM will defeat Superman (unless it is the Pre-Crisis version)
Originally posted by JuntaiHmm... if this is the fight I'm thinking of... they're near the sun when she pulls out the Kryptonite ring... then she get's punched back to Earth - which she recovers from by the time he gets back to Earth and considering he's Superman it probably wasn't a long time - and the ring was knocked out of her hand.
And she didn't really beat Superman, she snapped Max Lord's neck so she wouldn't have to fight him. The fight was cut short. But blow for blow, Superman beat her ass through most of that comic. She had like 3 offensive moves the whole time, including cutting his neck, which he barely reacted to. He grabbed his neck.. natural.. no sign of pain though... and he stops there, dumbfounded, because he's still in shock from what he saw in his mind, and what she did. And she was holding back... barely... but using Kryptonite, and all of her weapons, lol.
Offensive moves I counted:
Boxes his ears
Kicks him in the face, then breaks his knee, then punches his face into the ground.
Uppercuts him, then kicks him face first through the dirt.
Slashes his neck with her tiara.
Blow for blow, she was more effective... and she was the one holding back. She could have easily instead of just glancing his neck thrown it to cut much deeper.
Anyway... on topic.. my money would go on the Martian.
Ya know what I am wondering how Martian Manhunter could beat Superman but I thinking this that how is it that Martian Manhunter could punch Doomsday in the face and Doomsday barely moves and says you are strong but you are no Superman and Martian Manhunter goes down easily while Superman comes out stands there and takes a beating from Doomsday and then breaks his bone extentions with his own chest and freakin knocks him out with two hits.

Wasnt this one from a world where Superman was living with Bruce and spent his life training to fight metahumans? Different WW then normal to Ibelieve.
MM like most of the Justice League heavyweights seem to lose a lot of IQ when Superman is around. Fernus took Superman out pretty easily.How much stronger was his telepathy then MM?
