Yes, other heroes got cool monsters to fight, while J'onn got to fight the monster who projected flaming snot from his nostrils.Ewww.
In the interest of full disclosure, that was the splash page, and the monster never displayed that ability in the actual story. But still....ewwwww.
BONUS: How big a wuss was the Martian Manhunter? He "suddenly loses his strength" during an important moment. The reason?
Yup...a dude with a mere lighter, standing twenty feet away and with his back to you, was enough to knock you out of action. Ye gods, what a wuss...you'd hardly need the Human Flame to kill J'onn--just arm yourself with a Bic!!J'onn needs a huge Kleenex in House Of Mystery #171 (1967).
The martian monster looks like a troll in steroids. :-) I find it funny that the peeps behind this agreed to let the fire came out from its nose.
ReplyDeleteJ'onn looks like Lex luthor
Joe Certa had a nose fixation. This wasn't the first nasualar nemesis, and there were other bizarro honkers that were remarkable but non-projectile.
