I have seen nothing but fanfics of J’onn J’onzz. Is his characterization like the Vision in the MCU? Could you explain it to me a bit?

God I haven’t watched any MCU movies since Endgame came out but you’re pretty close I’d say. He’s a fish out of water type character. A Green Martian gets teleported to earth by a scientist who IMMEDIATELY dies of a heart attack just after he sees Martian Manhunter for the first time which gives him no way of going back home. He heads into the great unknown of earth and strives to keep the peace the same way he did with his own planet.

J’onn is forced to adapt to earth and earth civilization. Mars lore can range from “there was a multi decade long war and I’m the last Martian left”, to “There are only Green Martian’s”, to “There are Green and White Martians. Green Martians think of White Martians as below them when the only difference biologically is skin tone. Easy and interesting way to talk about racism.” , “there are Green and White Martians but White Martians are prodominately evil.”, to “He’s about to be the ruler of his people but since Green Martians share a massive telepathic consciousness of thought, he has to go to earth to deal with the challenge of being one self and one mind.” Either way it’s one big ass situation change. In the first 5 or so years on earth he’s normally written with a ‘fish out of water’ sense of earths customs and details on human interaction. He knows basic stuff but the concept of holidays and earth traditions are bizarre to him.

J’onn J’onzz can be affected by the war with his friends and family dead, he can be an ambassador of mars to earth, he can be the next ruler of his people, he can be simply a random Martian cop shoved in a completely different environment.

His backstory is very scattered but depending on what it is can affect his personality. No matter what he’s a Martian Manhunter. This is a title which basically boils down to being a mars equivalent of a cop.

Jon Jones is quite Vision like, slightly ‘not connected’ to reality type of vibe with his speaking. He’s extremely intelligent, a master tactician, and is so powerful that he’s quite literally used as a Superman stand in for many early JL comics. He’s held his own against the ENTIRE Justice League. Superman has said that Martian Manhunter is THE most powerful being on the face of the earth. He’s a very powerful man with a very good heart. Imagine a very lovable and very intelligent nuclear bomb. People describe him as Batman + Superman which I feel is diminishing his character but it is a good hyper simplification of his personality and powers. Example: my favorite clip ever of Justice League Ultimate. (They wrote the Kent’s and Clark SO WELL)

His only weakness? Fire. Not physically though. Psychosomatically. He is invulnerable to fire but normally a very traumatic experience with fire (usually the destruction of his race via flame/laser). Fire gives this man psychic damage.

Idk this is mostly me rambling but I genuinely do hope this helps. What I’ve read/am in the midst of reading that has J’onn J’onzz in it: Justice League Ultimate (tv show), JLA: Year One #1-12, Brightest Day, or Justice League United #0-10 (comic)

A while ago I made a post about how cute it is that Collector likes Titans so much.

And today I was watching The Owl House with my family (this is their time seeing it) and there was this scene in episode four. When King says that no one is interested in his species. And I thought about Collector.

I adore these two so much.

what the fuck did they mean by this

qPhilza perching on people because bird

qFit: Mans is built like a brick shithouse—he can totally balance Phil’s additional weight. The first attempt is a bit shaky, sure, but nowadays Phil swoops down or hops up onto Fit’s shoulder and all Fit really has to do is jut out his elbow to give his friend a little more space for his talons to work with. Bam, he’s perched. Works out about 9.9 times out of 10, though Phil delights in trying to catch him off guard.

qEtoiles: He doesn’t have Fit’s bulk on his side, so he’s not as sturdy, but he is strong. The landing is usually a little rough since Etoiles has to work a bit harder to counterbalance the additional weight, but he always finds that center of gravity in no time flat. Phil usually perches with one talon on each of Etoiles’ shoulders since he’s not as w i d e, just so Phil can have a little extra grip. At some point, Etoiles tries fighting a mob while Phil is perched on him, and that goes exactly as well as you would expect.

qForever: Honestly, with all of the hard labor Forever does for his big builds, Phil was expecting him to do better, but the first (several) attempts end up with Forever stumbling over and knocking Phil off of him from his wild arm-pinwheeling. They eventually figure out it’s more doable if Forever himself has something to lean on (a wall, a chair, the butt of his pickaxe) and Phil puts one talon evenly spaced on each shoulder. Phil learns some new swears in Portuguese in the process.

qMissa: Flattened. Full-on face in the floor, mouth full of grass, wind knocked out of his lungs at Mach 5 the first time Phil tries. Phil apologizes profusely, but Missa—once he can breathe again—just rolls over onto his back and asks Phil if they can give it another try. It takes a long, LONG time, but they figure out that if Phil plants his talons on Missa’s shoulder pads and leans forward while Missa leans back, they have a small little window of time where they achieve balance. The best part? Phil gets a perfect view of Missa’s goofy little grin every single time.

The first time Sonic went Super in Road Trip wasn't exactly as stunning to Tails as other au's and stories.

Tails is like maybe 5 here (I'm not actually that organized on the timeline for this au yet, I'm getting there though, things are getting in order.) and he wasn't forced to grow up and be a hero in this au. So he's a bit more childish than canon Tails because he doesn't feel as pressured to mature and grow up fast. Plus, he genuinely thinks Sonic is going to die and this is the last time he see's him, so tears are bound to come down.

I think Jazz would have such a fun time dealing as a child therapist for teenage heroes.

Black Canary has her hands full with the adult JL members and so they went through a very thorough hiring process to recruit another therapist.

Jazz is perfect. She’s knowledgeable in her field, she was a sidekick for a small town hero, and she has good chemistry working with kids and likes to work with kids.

Does it ever make you a little crazy insane thinking about how Jesper and Wylan both have these gaping absences in their families, these needs that haven't been met for years, but as their stories become parallel, they find exactly what they need in each other's lives?

Because okay, hear me out, Jesper couldn't save his mom, nor can he ever bring her back, but he was able to help Wylan save his mom. His mom who was supposed to be dead. He was able to help bring her back in a way that he will never able to do for his own mom. And no, she'll never be Aditi, but I think she'll grow to love him as a son-in-law.

Wylan, meanwhile, lost his father's love at a young age. He will never be good enough for Jan, because Jan refuses to love or accept him as he is. But Colm, Jesper's father who loves him, who only wants the best for his son, meets Wylan when he's easily at his lowest point in life, when he's wrapped up in crime and scandal, and what does he say? "I think you’d be good for [Jesper]." And that means everything.

Jesper and Wylan don't just complement each other as a couple, their lives thread together like stitches closing long open wounds.
