Biography[]
Past[]
M'gann is a White Martian born on Mars during a civil war between her species and the Green Martians. "The Martian Holocaust", as the war was called, resulted in the destruction of both species but to protect their child, M'gann's parents sent her to Earth in a spaceship. Her ship reached Earth, but crash-landed in Colorado near Checkmate's Headquarters. M'gann was discovered by some of the agency's agents where she was kept captive in the facility.
She was kept for study and Dr. King Farady grew close to M'gann, due to seeing his own deceased daughter in the young Martian and raised her as his own kin. When his real daughter died, M'gann took her form in an attempt to console him. They had grown close together, despite their limited physical contact.
Season Nine[]
After Major Zod's attack on Checkmate, M'gann and Faraday were trapped inside the facility in the cell where the young Martian had lived since her arrival on Earth. The two stayed together for months locked inside the facility. Before dying, he recorded on his cellphone a message for whoever found his corpse to take care of his daughter Megan.
Faraday eventually passed away of natural causes. Abandoned and left alone in the darkness, M'gann lived in desperation and isolation alongside her surrogate's father's corpse. When Doctor Fate and John Jones encountered Cameron Mahkent, the magician restored the Martian Manhunter's powers, sending a shockwave that was felt by M'gann who discovered he was a Green One and on Earth. In a fit of rage, M'gann freed herself from the prison and went on a trail of the Martian, out of fear that he wanted to eliminate humanity like his race did to the White Martians.
Season Eleven[]
Driven by a need for survival, M'gann went to Gotham City where she encountered a group of Mutants and killed several of them. While fighting in the sewer, Batman and Nightwing discovered M'gann in a dark long coat and hat. Before Barbara could react, the creature brutally slashes her. Batman arrived and quickly threw a flash bomb that stuns and frightens M'gann away.
Then she perceives the presence of the other Martian and assaults his home attacking its neighbors. A young boy went into Jones' apartment and found a cloaked being in the apartment, holding the cracked Martian tablet. The boy asks where Jones was and the cloaked being attacks, revealing itself to be the White Martian.
Chasing the boy downstairs toward his mother, the Martian was nearly upon them when John intervenes. At the building's front door, Batman ordered the mother and child out for their safety. John fights with the White Martian. The creature identified him by his Martian name, "J'onn J'onzz," and calls him a "murderer." As John unholstered his guns, the creature jumps on him and tries biting him.
John struggles as Batman tosses a flare near them and orders John to roll away from it. The flare went off, scaring the White Martian. It crashes through a window and escapes into the city. M'gann later spied on Batman and Manhunter when they discovered her home and deceased father figure. She lurked in the shadows. At that moment, she leaps down from the shadows and attacked J'onn J'onzz.
Returning to the conflict between the two martians, Batman tells the White Martian to cease fighting as he knows her secret. He shows her the photo of Faraday's daughter and she manages to calm down and reveals her history telepathically to John Jones. During the battle, M'gann set out the reasons for her behavior: the distrust of the other Martian and the fact that she attacked human beings only because she was afraid or felt them as "evil."
Shortly after, Batman threatens her with a firebomb and forces the young White Martian to tell her story to them. After she performed the request, the Hound of Mars, moved, realizes that everything that the young White Martian has known in her life is hate.
Realizing that she was the only family left to him, J'onn decides to take her under his wing and make her his protégé, a proposal that M'gann accepted with gratitude. She later joined the Teen Titans in San Francisco. When Doctor Phosphorus escapes from prison, Superboy appears and engages in a fight with him.
