'Supergirl': Who Is H'ronmeer?
11/09/2017 04:50 pm EST
Martian Manhunter Vol. 1
H'ronmeer first debuted in the first issue of Martian Manhunter's 1988 solo run. In the comic, J'onn crosses paths with Batman, asking for help with his suddenly erratic visions.
Once Batman returns him to the Batcave, J'onn's hallucinations begin to manifest, with one physically manifesting as H'ronmeer, a large, amorphous Martian death god. The pair fight in the Batcave, before J'onn flees, and continues to hunt him down for a series of issues.
As the arc carries on, it's discovered that the Martians were actually killed by a plague named H'ronmeer's Curse. J'onn then realizes that he is psychically linked to each Martian soul that died, and eventually breaks the mental tether that binds them together. H'ronmeer takes hold of all of the Martian souls before leading them to the afterlife.
