Description Super Skrull + Martian Manhunter = Super Martion

J'Onn Kl'Rt was a member of the native Skrull race from Mars, and was one of it's greatest warriors.  Selected as part of their "Super Warrior" experiment, J'Onn was granted incredible powers in order to combat the super champions of Earth as part of the Skrulls plans of conquest.  J'Onn dutifully believed that he was in the right and he was helping to conquer an inferior species, until he was unexpectedly abducted by a scientists teleportation experiment and taken to Earth far before he was finished his indoctrination.  Once there, J'Onn learned that the people of Earth weren't the inferior species his superiors said they were, but were capable of great courage, integrity and compassion.  J'Onn rejected the plans of his superiors and turned against his people to serve as a champion of Earth and defend his newfound home. 

Once again we return to my- surprisingly popular- Amalgam series.  For this blend, I kind of cheated a little, blending a villain from Marvel and a hero from DC.  But when looking at the Martian Manhunter, there was no clear analogue at Marvel that would be a good fit in the hero section (that I didn't already use) so I decided to blend J'Onn with the notable Marvel baddie the Super Skrull. 

The costume and look is a blending of the two styles, but it's a little more abstract than my previous efforts.  I tried to keep the "X" pattern on the chest, but I didn't see a way to keep it red like the original Martian Manhunter's look and still have it blend well with the Super Skrull's design.  So I decided to keep it blue, and make it integrated into the cape.  For the face, I was a little worried that J'Onn's face wouldn't show through, and that he would look more like Super Skrull than a blending of concepts, and I don't really know how successful I was in that regard.

Actually there are heroic Skrulls, so this makes sense.

J'onn and 1 of 3 heroes.

Silver Surfer = Galactis goes to Mars and Nor'rin J'onzz offers himself as his Herald the 'Silver Manhunter"  or the "Silver Martian" but betrays his lord to save the people of Earth.

or Starlord = J'onn Qu'ill kidnapped by Space Pirates grew up as a theif with honor he turned his back on the Pirates becoming "The Martian Starlord" the Guardian of the Galaxy.

Maybe even Drax the Destroyer = The last surviving Green Martian of Mars J'onn D'rax, vows to Destroy 'Thanosied' the man who killed his Wife, children and his People, he becomes Drax the Manhunter.

Reading the description, seeing you say you cheated by mixing hero and villain, Amalgam Comics did that too, Hulk and Solomon Grundy, so I wouldn't say it's cheating since the original did this as well.

Probably the same as MM. Both Skrulls and Martians can shape-shift. So just add the rest.

I've heard Super Skrull has been good or at least an anti hero before, is that true? I guess he is a good guy to Skrulls at least.

Classic color design and that trademark Silver Age Marvel Starched Cape of Doom.

A true amalgamation worthy of J'Onn.
