Miss Martian (real name M'gann M'orzz,[1] alias Megan Morse[2]) is a Martian and a member of the Team.[14] She is the niece and former protégé of the Martian Manhunter. When she first came to Earth, Miss Martian was a bubbly, exceptionally sweet, polite, and caring, although occasionally shy, "young" Martian girl, who longed to fit in on Earth and be a member of the Team. However, being from Mars and having never really interacted with humans before, she was frequently unfamiliar with Earth customs.[1] She felt especially uncomfortable with her telepathy, as on Mars, it is the prime form of communication.[15] She was also quite inexperienced, and eager to please.[16] By 2016, she has become considerably more serious but still retains her caring side as well as more experienced and adept at using her powers. However, she has also begun to display a more darker side, becoming more selfish and ruthless when she begins abusing powers by ripping into the minds of enemies through extreme measures to extract information, leaving them catatonic and all down without showing any fear or remorse afterwards.[12] She sees her actions as justified and done for the greater good, therefore refuses to admit or acknowledge what she is doing is wrong. She was even willing to go so far as attempting to erase Superboy's memories over their arguments regarding the use of her powers, an act which ultimately lead to their break up.[17] This changed after she did the procedure on Aqualad; still hating him for Artemis's murder, she used her mindblast on him, ruthlessly extracting all information from him. The discovery that he was undercover left her shocked and deeply traumatized, causing her to reconsider the use of her powers.[18] She became more timid, and reluctant to use even the most basic forms of telepathy.[19] She was filled with extreme guilt by what she had done and only after Artemis motivated her, did she begin to fix her mistakes.[20] Eventually, she comes to fully realize the error of her ways and takes full responsibility over her actions and selfishness, setting out to atone for her mistakes and mending her relationships.[21][22] By 2018, Superboy confirmed that she no longer shattered minds after seeing the error of her ways and is still afraid of crossing that line again. Miss Martian's true appearance is that of what most humans would consider an inhuman monster, with white skin, long limbs, and a hunchback.[25] However, as a shape-shifter, she can model her appearance to her desire, which is usually that of a green-skinned female humanoid based on Marie Logan as a teenager, with amber eyes and shoulder-length red hair, though after five years, she now keeps her hair at a shorter length, but it has since grown longer over the months. She also has freckles on her cheeks. After another two years she is now bald and no longer has freckles in her preferred form, but gets both hair and freckles back when posing as a human. Her skin is now white, reflecting her status as a White Martian. One year later, her hair has returned and she now keeps her hair longer, past her shoulder, and she changes the sclera of her eyes -- which are normally white -- to black while on Mars. Her former primary outfit consists of a short-sleeved white top with a red X on it, along with a blue skirt, a knee-length collared cape, gloves, and high heeled ankle boots. For covert work, she switches to a long-sleeved black bodysuit with the same red X, built-in black shoes, and a shorter, dark blue, hooded cape; the overall style is similar to the clothing worn by the Martian Manhunter.[26] While at Superman's Fortress of Solitude, her suit remained in the same style, except white. After five years, her covert ops costume became her primary outfit. In casual situations, she takes the appearance of a green skinned high school student, wearing a white or light pink T-shirt under a short-sleeved crop top sweater, skirt, white knee-high socks with brown or dark blue shoes, and a headband to keep her hair back. The sweater, skirt, and headband are either red, purple, or blue. She can use her shape-shifting powers to switch from one outfit to another as needed.[1] When attending high school, she keeps her casual clothes on and merely changes her skin color to that of a Caucasian girl (her eyes, hair, and freckles remain unchanged).[2] She now wears a yellow or purple long sleeved cardigan over a white top and dark jeans or blue skirt. M'gann M'orzz was born 48 Earth years ago on the planet Mars.[6] Her mother is a Green Martian, the sister of J'onn J'onzz, and her father a White Martian.[27] She has eleven[9] sisters and seventeen brothers, and an extended family of 300 cousins.[15] All of her siblings are Green Martians, except one brother who is a White Martian.[27] As a White Martian,[25] M'gann suffered rejection from the predominant Green Martians. As a child, she used to use her shapeshifting powers to change her skin to green to try to fit in. However, this never worked since everyone knew through telepathy that she was a White Martian by birth .[28] She grew up watching Earth television, and following Martian Manhunter's adventures on Earth.[15] She was especially fond of Hello, Megan!, a comedy show that lasted only one season; she was drawn to the main character, Megan Wheeler, because of the similarity of their names, and because all her problems were solved in 22 minutes.[25] In June 2010,[29] she ran away from home without saying good-bye.[30] She secretly bonded with the Bio-Ship intended for her uncle Martian Manhunter so she could stow away on one of his trips from Mars to Earth.[31] Manhunter had never met her before, but after contacting her parents and receiving their permission to let her stay on Earth,[30] he made her his protégé.[32] She lived with her uncle until July 2010.[33 Martian physiology: M'gann is a Martian and she possesses their physical and mental attributes. Shape-shifting: Miss Martian "" additional arms. She can change her form on a cellular level,[25] completely altering her physical appearance, including her organic clothing, allowing her to mimic other people or animals[49] and other creatures.[68] At first, she found male forms more difficult,[1] but eventually mastered them.[17] Her power is not restricted to humanoid forms; in order to fight off Ivo's MONQIs, she grew several extra arms,[35] and to both survive and maneuver underwater, she grew gills and a mermaid tail.[44] Malleability: She can stretch and bend her body [36] and limbs (e.g. into large whips to grab things at great distance).[110] Healing: Her shape-shifting allows her to heal faster than a human would.[111] Camouflage: She can change the appearance of her form (and her clothes) to bend the light waves around her to match with her surroundings,[112] making her almost invisible.[43][113] Her chances of staying undetected are diminished if she is moving.[112] Her Bio-Ship also has a camouflage mode that she can activate telepathically.[1] Super strength: Like all Martians, Miss Martian has strength above that of a typical human.[111]Martians can augment their strength by focusing their telekinesis in their body and use it in a tactile way.[114] Durability: Like all Martians M'gann's body is denser than a humans but not nearly as durable as a Kryptonian.[111] Martians are also immune to human diseases.[4] Density shifting: An advanced technique, density shifting enables Martians to move through solid objects or become incredibly dense and difficult to damage.[114] Though she did not originally have the ability,[1] she mastered it by 2016.[12]Miss Martian phases through the ground. Miss Martian phases through the ground. Telepathy: Telepathy comes naturally to Martians;[15] she can read minds,[1] mentally communicate with others,[11] and project her thoughts in other people's minds.[11] She initially struggled with other people's personal boundaries on Earth.[1] She often uses a telepathic link with her teammates, which makes communications easier and untraceable.[36] Miss Martian can also telepathically connect with her Bio-Ship.[1] After a botched telepathic training simulation, J'onn revealed that in terms of raw power, her telepathy is on a level beyond any he has encountered, including himself.[52] Her psychic powers are stronger in her Martian form, because she can fully focus on them.[115] Brain blast: Miss Martian was able to project a powerful "Mental blast" than can hit the target mentally or leave it unconscious.[25] Psychic illusion: Miss Martian can project realistic illusions in other people's minds. She was able to project an illusion in J'onns minds to make him believe than he was burning.[25] Mind control: Miss Martian can control the thoughts and actions of others. Miss Martian was able to implant words in Professor Ojo's mind before he could expose Superboy's cover.[3] She was also able to erase or restore and alter the memory of others,[43] reprogram other people's minds[28] and put others to sleep[70] or temporarily paralyze others.[73] Mental detection: Miss Martian can feel and detect the mind of others, as when she detects Psimon's presence or when she felt Superboy's pain.[43][25] Multilingualism: Miss Martian can speak Martian and English.[43] She can also translate languages psychically, such as Atlantean.[44] Psychic shield: Miss Martian was able to generate "Mental shield" in her and other people's minds to prevent mental intrusions.[43] Memory manipulation: Miss Martian is able to cause great pain and put enemies in a catatonic state while forcefully tearing memories from their minds, like when she probed Aqualad's mind. She is also able to reverse this process by fixing lost memories. Telekinesis: Miss Martian has used telekinesis to move and manipulate many objects with her mind. However, she can lose control when moving too many objects at once or not paying enough attention.[42] Miss Martian has shown the ability to generate telekinetic shields[11][43] and shock-waves.[47][17] Flight: By telekinetically moving herself, she can simulate flight.[111] Hand-to-hand combatant: Like all of the original members of the Team, she received hand-to-hand training from Black Canary.[35] It came in useful during a fight with Cheshire while her powers were disabled by an inhibitor collar.[73] Heat: Miss Martian can be weakened when exposed to direct heat or fire.[46][51] Extreme pressure: Miss Martian's physiology is susceptible to pressure. When she went to Atlantis, the underwater pressure caused her to shrink in size.[44]
