14 Weirdest Comic Book Weaknesses
12. Martian Manhunter - Chocolate
It's common knowledge that Martian Manhunter is incredibly weak to fire. But even die-hard comic fans don't realise chocolate also leaves him vulnerable.
Now, J'onn J'onnzz has regularly mentioned how much he loves chocolate. He eats Choco biscuits (the DC universe's Oreo equivalent) on a daily basis. So, how is it a problem?
Well, he doesn't just like chocolate. He is a chocolate junkie. In Martian Manhunter #24, League members Booster Gold and Blue Beetle pranked their Martian teammate by hiding his Chocos. Just to make sure he couldn't get more, the Leaguers bought all the Chocos in the city. Booster and Beetle thought it would be funny to watch J'onn have a tantrum when he was unable to find his beloved biscuits.
Instead, he transmogrified into a Hulk-like beast and rampaged through the city. Batman ran tests on the founding Leaguer's body and learn his species react to chocolate the same way a human reacts to highly addictive drugs. The team were so concerned for J'onn's well-being, he ripped out his craving on a cellular level to cure himself.
Although he is still fond of chocolate, he is no longer devastated by his addiction.
