I'M GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT IS THAT CALVIN ELLIS MY FAVORITE ALT SUPERMAN EVER
If you didn't know, he's the leader of the multiverse JL, which is comprised of the most powerful iterations of leaguers throughout the DC multiverse.
He's a your normal kryptonian named Kal El who crash landed on Earth as a baby who styles his fighting based on the boxing training he had as a kid, became the president of the US, and runs his own JL, the multiverse JL, and makes time to be the president-
I just can't with him he's so ridiculously op in time management of all things
fun fact! inspiration for his design came from Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali, the creators from him are Grant Morrison and Doug Mahnk
yoooo found this in my drafts I completely forgot to post it like years ago whoops
J'onn's head shape changes throughout the historical group photos of the jl in the background of several panels during final crisis: requiem- he trusts this team, he loves this planet, and slowly takes on a more martian form. his subconscious comfort around them physically manifests as his body allowing itself to take a martian shape (all IDs in alt text)
SPOILERS FOR FINAL CRISIS: REQUIEM
he was like a grandfather or a father to some of them, a mentor to many, and a friend to all. the fact that Nightwing finds him dead is so powerful because, in this continuity, Dick has known J'onn since his time as Robin. Dick is frequently at the beginning of modern heroes (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) in DC, so him being the one who finds J'onn feels very full-circle
the usage of "Martian Manhunter" vs "J'onn" is of note as well. when the Secret Society is fighting him, they only refer to him as Martian Manhunter, while every single hero calls him J'onn
the day after J'onn died, a telepathic link is activated in the minds of Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Hal Jordan, Cynthia Reynolds, and Dinah Lance that causes them to record and recite J'onn's history of Mars. not only did he trust them to accept his martian form, he entrusted them with his account of his almost dead civilization. and they not only keep that promise by combining their part of the account into a book, but they also bury him on Mars so he could be reunited with his home at last
Superman being the orator at the funeral becomes even more fitting when J'onn recounts meeting a young Clark Kent in Smallville. they share not only a history, but a burden: as some of the last members of their civilizations, aliens on Earth, and heroes, J'onn frequently lent an ear to Clark's troubles
Batman is not known for his displays of affection, but the end of the comic makes clear that Bruce will miss him. with his cowl off, he leaves a single choco (the DC's version of oreos) on J'onn's casket and calls him an old friend before leaving back to Earth
J'onn's steady presence in the league is so important to their ability to come together, not just as an organization, but as a community. it is not the same without him
specifically it's called Martian Manhunter #1000000! if y'all can't find it lmk- I have a copy
also the way they show Future J'onn in that one is vaguely reminiscent of y'all's white martians
I'm not a Raynerd but one of the reasons that Kyle is considered an amazing GL is because he's an artist. John and Hal are ex-military and a pilot, respectively- their ways of solving issues are more limited to their training. meanwhile Kyle's ability to think creatively and make constructs that are more inspired by what could be than what already is
also there's a plot point where he becomes a white lantern? comic book artists made a comic book artist one of the most powerful people which I think is neat :)
do you guys have any opinions on Kyle Rayner? in DC 1 Million, his and J'onn's friendship is a major part in securing a happier future
I really want to know more about Kyle Rayner!! I grew up with John Stewart as my GL and later on loved Hal Jordan in GLTAS, but!! Kyle Rayner is a comic artist!! That me!! I'd love to draw comic-artist-specific jokes with him. I don't know how much the comics take advantage of that part of his identity (I'm sure they do to an extent) but I'd love it if he just talks comics jargon every now and then. Has comic specific stresses and fears. I would have a field day if I just knew more!
I've seen the panels where he talks to J'onn and it's cute hehe. Thanks for the rec, I will check that out!
the movement on these J'onns is sick. if J'onn had to take up John Stewart's ring during JL/JLU for some reason this is exactly what he would've looked like, I'm sure
looks like something @jesncin would like too
Quick thoughts on the Martian lantern (sometime in the past). Imagine what an badass he would be. A well-trained fighter with all Martian powers AND the power ring. OP
Put a ring on it
Gotham's new protectors

Despite everything it's still you

Boot up the game, your lantern champion is floating there chanting their oath. The background is randomized. Start the game and you immediately begin flying towards your adventures within the cosmos.

I literally don't have memories of drawing this.
Ray as a Green Lantern! I quite liked this doodle hehe
There’s two versions with his hair being a bit more green 💚✨
flinging your friends over your shoulder like potato sack. dangling them by the scruff stacking them up in your arms like laundry shoving them into your purse etc etc i love it

One of the reasons that Kyle has been and always will be my favorite Green Lantern.
