The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz), is a comic book superhero appearing in DC Comics. He is a native of the planet Mars (or Ma'aleca'andra, as it was known in his native tongue) and possesses powers beyond those of normal human beings, including telepathy and the ability to change shape. His usual appearance is of a tall, hairless, green-skinned humanoid. He is highly sensitive to fire; in some stories this weakness is a physical weakness, and in others it is psychological. He has an odd addiction to Oreo cookies; this was later changed to 'Chocos' (presumably due to licensing problems). A recent story in the JLA comic book indicates that the Guardians of the Universe instilled the aversion to fire into the Martians to prevent them from overrunning the universe. ...more on Wikipedia about "Martian Manhunter"
