J'ordan J'onzz (Dark Knights of Steel)

J'ordan J'onzz was the son of J'onn J'onzz.

History

When J'ordan was a child, the White Martians attempted to enslave his people, the Green Martians, starting a bloody civil war that left the planet devastated and most of both sides, including J'ordan's mother M'yri'ah, dead. J'ordan and his father retreated with the few remaining survivors of their race into an underground shelter. He was too young to understand what was happening and repeatedly asked his father to let him go outside to play.

One day, a group of Green Martian refugees, including M'yri'ah, came to the shelter. J'ordan ran to his mother, but the "refugees" were revealed to be Whites, and who J'ordan thought was M'yri'ah was in fact the White leader Protex. Protex blasted J'ordan in the neck with his heat vision, leaving him mortally wounded. J'onn pulled J'ordan into an alcove and hid with him. J'ordan begged his father to stop the pain, but he couldn't, and J'ordan died in J'onn's arms.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Martian Physiology: J'ordan possesses the same potential powers as an average Martian. These include:
  • Shape-Shifting: Martians have psionic control of their physical for down to the molecular level. This allows them to a form of shape-shifting that allows them to mimic other forms, elongate aspects of their body, increase or decrease their physical size, and so on.
    • Size Alteration: As an extension of their shape-shifting abilities, Martians can easily alter their size, shrinking or growing to gigantic size.^[1]
  • Invisibility: Martians can cause the biopolymers in their bodies to lose their ability to reflect light, making the Martians invisible to normal light and human sight.^[2]
  • Phasing: Martians can go through solid matter.
  • Superhuman Strength:^[2] Martians possess vast levels of superhuman strength and are among the few races that are able to match Kryptonians in terms of raw strength. Martians can easily shatter reinforced concrete and steel, lift and carry hundreds of tons with ease and deliver incredible damage with their blows.^[3]
  • Superhuman Stamina
  • Superhuman Durability: Martians possess high levels of durability that make them nigh-invulnerable to all forms of damage. Martians can withstand high-caliber bullets, powerful energy blasts, and kinetic impacts without suffering damage.^[4]
  • Superhuman Speed: Martians can process thoughts, move, and react at incredible speed, being able to cover vast distances in little or no time, catch bullets in mid-flight, run on water and create afterimages as they run.^[5]
    • Superhuman Agility
    • Superhuman Reflexes

    • Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision^{[citation needed]}
    • Telescopic Vision^[9]
    • Microscopic Vision^{[citation needed]}
  • Telepathy: Martians have the ability to read the minds of others and project their thoughts to varying degrees. They can also project their mental essences into a gestalt community known as the "Great Mind". Through this, the community can enhance the telepathic strength of other Martians. This power can also enable them to reverse the effects of amnesia or psychological brainwashing. ^[2]
    • Illusions
    • Possession
    • Astral Projection
    • Mind Control: As an extension of this, Martians can also use the ability to alter a psychological profile of a target, enabling them to manipulate, and in some cases, outright control that individual. This practice is greatly discouraged however, and only rarely used. ^[10]
