10 Worst Things Martian Manhunter Has Ever Done
2. He Threw A Martian Into The Sun
Since Martians have a permanent mental link, they have no words for “alone,” “isolation,” or “abandonment”. However, they have over a thousand words for “share.” In J'onn's language, the word for “love” and “remembering” is the same. Basically, being a Martian is awesome.
However, some Martians can't use telepathy, meaning they will never experience the same connection as the rest of their race. A Martian called D'Kay D'Razz committed experiments on her race to help her figure out why some of them couldn't use telepathy. When her experiments were discovered, the Martians punished her by disabling her psychic powers. After she was cut off mentally from the rest of the Martians, D'Kay went insane.
Years later, she was transported to Earth and learned J'onn resided there. Since the Green Martians were nearly extinct, she became obsessed with mating with J'onn so they could repopulate their people. When she tried to kill J'onn's ally, Miss Martian, he forced her into the Sun, incinerating her to death.
D'Kay originally had nothing but noble intentions since all she wanted to do is help her fellow Martians. Although J'onn felt like he had no choice but to kill her, it still doesn't make her death less tragic.
