Little Known Facts ...

Back to J'onnz.

DC seems to have realized that MM having the ability to grow bigger and stronger might prove TOO Deus Ex Machina to create plausible tension in a story after awhile. Who could stand against him?

So it seems they QUIETLY began imposing limits on J'onnz.

Note that, by the time the 9th issue of that series rolled around, J'onnz was complaining about the stress of changing the proportion of his "Martian mass" for "Earth mass", whatever that means, even though J'onnz had substituted a literal skyscraper's worth just 7 issues prior.

Note that they impose no such limitations on J'onnz's green Martian counterpart, Malefic, however:

Although J'onn'z, as Fernus, performs the skyscraper trick in JLA: Trial by Fire, it's possible to argue that's not really J'onnz.

Rounding out selections for this topic, then, I'll highlight s case many people THINK they are familiar with, but actually are not.

Examine now, and notice for the first time, some of you, that J'onnz added mass to himself here as well, in the form of 3rd and 4th arms!

Batman looks so much the part of Dracula that one young lady who happened to BE a vampire once mistook him for the same:

Some interesting hits came up on Google when I was searching for the previous entry, which I re-discovered by typing in "Skeeter", the young vampire's nickname, along with "Batman" and "Superman".

The following was the most intriguing, dealing with a very different kind of "skeeter" and a very different set of world famous comic characters and their real-life locale:

Damn. That was a Good Comic. Sure don't make comics like that anymore.

Lobo’s farts are akin to a 50 kiloton nuclear blast.

Some jobs in the DCU are too tough even for The Flash to get hired on ...

He (Wally) tried it and wound up having to get his mom to move in to keep his place clean.

Flash is all about family, in good times or ill.

Speaking of which, the mode of transportation he's got for them beats the conventional family van hollow:

Zatara started in Action Comics #1, along with Superman.

The true first hero!

There are so many trivia gems in this entry it's hard to know where to begin.

Among other things:

* Namora served as a World War II hero alongside her cousin
* Atlantaean cities are supplemented with coral growth
* Jimmy Woo's spaceship can be used for underwater travel and is durable enough to endure a magma/lava bath
* Atlantis is hidden by a volcanic veil
* Loch Ness Monsters (plesiosaurs) survive in Marvel Comics' Atlantis!

As Marvel wisely mandated that allies must go through the formality of fighting each other whenever any major character greets another*, the Agents of Atlas and Namor dutifully follow suit ...

... whereupon we learn, happily, Namor and Namora are actually quite distant as far as cousins go. Hopefully. REALLY hopefully ...

*they might not have, but I'm trying to think of a book written in the last 10 years where this DOESN't happen and am drawing a blank

Matt Murdock and Tony Stark are among the best of friends!

mmm

(Although, maybe not the VERY best ...)

The following character is totally not Jean Grey:

There's a real good chance (not making this up) that one of the above characters IS Martian Manhunter, though!
