Supergirl Season 1: 10 Big Questions After 'Stranger Visitor From Another Planet'

5. What Others Powers Does The Martian Manhunter Have?

We€™ve seen that J€™onn J€™onnz can fly, can read minds, is super strong, can phase through walls, and, clearly, can shapeshift, but what other powers does the Martian Manhunter have to offer? In this latest outing, whether you could label it a power or not is up in the air, we see J€™onn have the ability to have a telepathic bond with other Martians. Is this just restricted to White Martians? Is this just restricted to Martians? And what other powers or abilities does this faux Hank Henshaw have hidden up his sleeve. In the comic book world, the Martian Manhunter can also regenerate, is basically invincible, has special vision, and can even use telekinesis amongst his special skill set. Now it€™s just a case of seeing what else Supergirl€™s version of the character brings to the table.
