DC TV Roundup: Killer Frost And Alchemy Make An Impact On The Flash

5) I Turned Into A Martian

Comic book readers and fans of Young Justice are no doubt privy to the unique relationship shared by Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian. And, while we’re sure they’ll get there before too many more episodes of Supergirl come to pass, we’ll have to endure the difficult journey alongside them in the meantime.

For those unfamiliar, these two survivors of Mars both possess shapeshifting abilities allowing them to blend in with us Earth folk. In their true forms, Martian Manhunter happens to be a Green Martian, while Miss Martian is of the White variety. Markedly different in physiology, there’s no love lost between these two species as her kind nearly succeeded in wiping out his – although she’s obviously a rare exception and a kind soul.

With M’Gann recently saving J’onn’s life by giving him a blood transfusion, it didn’t take long for her plasma to trigger physical and psychological abnormalities causing him to begin transforming into a White Martian. It should be interesting to see how far the producers are willing to go with his possible change while also forcing viewers to take a look at themselves.

The theme of xenophobia runs deep here and is highly relevant given current events, so let’s approach this thread with optimism for it will likely yield a message of tolerance and hope as only a socially conscious superhero story can.
