He’s no longer connected to Cyttorak in the way he use to be so I wouldn’t call him jobbing giving there’s an explanation.

Injustice Superman would job but a lot of instances were against people more skilled than him with a pill to make them on par physically with him.

From the listed options definitely Martian Manhunter. Forgetting a lot of his powers most of the time. Thor tends to do the same or hold back rather too often

Eh, it's been going on for years now. He's nowhere near the threat "classic juggernaut" used to be. For a while battle boards were calling him "huggernaut" because of his consistent low-showings. Even his latest mini made a mockery of him thought out.

Huggernaut, depowerednaut and so on, yes.

But it's not as popular as "Manjobber" --- J'onn is called everywhere that, including 4chan and reddit.

Depowerednaut lol.

As crazy as it seems, I recall MM being described as a Swiss army knife and was respected. Strength rivaling superman, telepathy on par with prof x, phasing abilities like vision.

But yes, manjobber suits him well.

I mean, just his speed plus TP alone should end most fights.

If Prof X can just think 'sleep' and end a fight, imagine the thought being made by a being who has legit superspeed, how quickly that thought is made.

Yeah, I think what makes Martian Manhunter stand out is the raw disparity between what he should be capable of vs a lot of what happens.

I watched super girl up until I think season 2 and every week manhunter or manjobber if you will was just continuously shit upon. So the fact he’s called manjobber is of no surprise to me, he was one of the most useless characters ever.

the thing that makes him stand out among the rest of the jobbers is that he has barely any high showings. At least with the rest, you have really bad low showings amongst dozens of insane showings. Thor might get stabbed with a normal sword in one comic, but then the next has him clowning Galactus. Meanwhile, MMH exists almost entirely to get Worfed.

If MM is truly as powerful as Supes ( or more so according to Supes and others ) he has no business jobbing the way that he does, and should in fact be feared among the higher echelon of beings.

Even if he is less powerful, he still has the crazy versatility on his side.

Speed + TP is just one of the many combos he is capable of.

Invisibility/intangibility + strength / eyebeams / martian breath (it's a thing) is another.

And he still does have plenty of other powers.

He proved he can use them SIMULTANEOUSLY... so even if he only operated at the low meta tier, he would still be a force to reckoned with, provided he fought smart.

Instead, he is f*cking herald level and he still finds new ways to get assraped. By everyone.

True unfortunately.

Yeah, but that's my point. The guy, on paper, looks like a trans tier character. I feel like it's more embarrassing when your ceiling should be so high.

Gladiator has the confidence excuse built in, along with a more limited powerset. Thor's questionable speed explain some of his. Injustice Superman is unfairly criticized -- many of those "lows" are against amped opponents or folks using kryptonite and such.

Not saying they don't have dumb stuff too, but it just feels more cringe when MMH messes up.

The problem with Manhunter is used properly, he'll **** up every story, so writers do something to check him off the list.

They should let him have his glory a few times here and there, DC seems to allow Superman only to have the high end feats without sharing the moments with their other high powered characters, at least Marvel spread the love among all their heavy hitters.
