4. Is Jonn Suicidal?
Theres nothing worse than a suicidal Martian, apparently. After we find out Jonn Jonzzs horrific backstory, complete with the brutal death of his family, its explained that he is the very last surviving member of his race. As he puts it himself, hes lived for 317 years, and hes had to witness some truly horrendous acts during his life. As he gears up for a confrontation with the White Martian, we see Jonn explain to Kara and Alex thats tired of living. This is a man who has seen it all, done it all, and is now a lonely, mournful shell of his former self. Is it now the case that we have a suicidal Martian Manhunter on our hands? Jonn seems to have been brought round to his senses by the time this latest episode comes to a close, but theres certainly a lot going on in the mind of this long-time DC favourite.
