J'onn J'onzz is the last Green Martian. Born and raised on the planet Mars, J'onn was thought to be the sole survivor of a "Martian Holocaust" instigated by the White Martians that also killed his entire family. J'onn fled to Earth and stayed hidden for centuries until he was discovered by D.E.O. Director Hank Henshaw.
After Jeremiah Danvers seemingly sacrificed himself to save J'onn from being killed by Henshaw, the Martian began posing as Director to reform the D.E.O. for its intended purpose recruiting Jeremiah's daughter Alex Danvers and later Kara Danvers/Supergirl. Eventually J'onn found himself forced to reveal his true identity and became a fugitive. However, after having helped to save the world from Non and Indigo assisting Supergirl in defeat them, J'onn received a full presidential pardon by Olivia Marsdin and was reinstated as director of the D.E.O., continuing to use Hank's appearance for convenience sake. Due to his identity being made public, as the "Last Green Martian" J'onn is also one of the most wanted creatures to the eyes of the White Martians empire.

Under the disguise of Hank Henshaw, J'onn appeared cold and calculating, believing that Kara using her powers would only add to the public unrest caused by her cousin's heroics. After he revealed his true identity to Alex and Kara respectively, J'onn is actually kind, caring, selfless, intelligent, has a sense of justice, honor and good morals. He does also have a very sharp wit and has been proven to care for Alex and Kara as if they were his own daughters to the point when Clark accused him of not caring for Kara's well-being, J'onn lashed out telling Clark to watch his mouth; however, he immediately backed off when Clark stated (in an intimidating manner) "or what?", as he is unwilling to get into a confrontation with the kryptonian, as J'onn is terrified of the latter.

Green Martian physiology : Like all Green Martians, J'onn possesses several incredible powers. Overall, J'onn is an extremely powerful being with even Superman referring to him as "the most powerful being on Earth".
- Accelerated healing factor : J'onn's Martian Physiology has moderate self-healing properties. This caused any wound inflicted on him to glow red and then vanish in minutes, which happened when he was shot with Hank Henshaw's special bullets. He was also able to heal himself soon after being stabbed by Indigo, though it took time for him to heal, suggesting that the greater the injury the longer he will take to regenerate from it.
- Extended longevity : J'onn's life span is considerably longer than a normal human and likewise ages much slower. Despite being over 300 years old, his health, performance, and natural appearance has remained unchanged. He is also revealed to still be alive and an active-ally to the Legion in the 31st century.
- Camouflage : J'onn can blend within the environment by changing the appearance of his form to bend the light waves around him to match with his surroundings making him almost - but not completely - invisible.
- Density-shifting / Intangibility : As a Green Martian, J'onn is able to move through solid objects or to increase his density to become near-invulnerable. He is able to use this offensively, allowing him to phase through people to cause internal damage or even pull organs out of the body, as he did to Metallo to remove his green Kryptonite infused heart.
- Invulnerability : J'onn's body is far denser than a human's, but not quite as durable as that of a Kryptonian like Superman, while he is able to make himself more dense. As a Green Martian, J'onn is also immune to all human diseases and illnesses.
- Shapeshifting : J'onn is able to change his form at will, even on a cellular level, completely altering his physical appearance, allowing him to transform or mimic other people or animals and other creatures. His abilities allowed him to appear with clothing and other wearable items when transformed and retain what he was wearing when in a specific form, such as his Martian Manhunter uniform or the sidearm he uses as Hank Henshaw. However, due to the fact that he was retaining his powers, he couldn't pass the biometrics scan locking mechanism that required Maxwell Lord's fingerprints in order to access through. Also, when posing as Kara, he had trouble walking due the high heel shoes he had in that form.
- Malleability : J'onn can stretch and bend his body and limbs.
- Super strength : J'onn has strength above that of a normal human, as well as aliens like Jemm, although not as strong as a fully-powered Kryptonian. He is able to augment his physical strength by focusing his telekinesis and using it in a tactile way. As shown when fighting a Red Kryptonite-infected Kara, J'onn is able to apparently surpass a Kryptonian's strength when using all of his powers; however, it should be noted in his confrontation against Astra, even when J'onn used all of his powers, he was able to put up a fight, but was still ultimately no match for the latter. This is likely because unlike Kara, Astra had full control over all her powers.
- Telepathy : J'onn is able to read the minds of other people communicate with others mentally and projects his thoughts into others, as well as hear others people's conversation psychically. His telepathic powers are shown to be very potent, able to overwhelm the minds of other powerful telepaths.
- Mental detection : J'onn can feel and detect the mind of others, as well as their intentions, emotions and mental states. J'onn use this abilities multiple times, as when he sensed Alex Danvers' presence at the D.E.O, knowing Jemm was controlling the mind of the guard the and when he track and detect the location of the White Martian. He can use this to see with his mind like a mental view.
- Mental shield : J'onn can telepathically shield himself and others from mental intrusions with enough effort, such as preventing other telepaths from scanning his mind. Doing this for Alex Danvers caused him some discomfort due to the effort and was unable to sustain it when he was wounded.
- Mind control : J'onn can control the thoughts and actions of others, implant words in other's mind, as well as to erase or restore and alter the memory of others, reprogram other people's minds and put others to sleep or temporarily paralyze others. He was able to induce amnesia to a Lord Technologies's guard.
- Psionic blasts : J'onn can project a powerful "Mental blast" than can hit the target mentally or leave them unconscious.
- Psychic illusion : J'onn can project realistic illusions in other people's minds and make them experience things that not actually happen.
- Psychic translation : As a Green Martian, J'onn can psychically translate other languages.
- Telekinesis : J'onn can move and manipulate multiple objects with his mind. He can also generate telekinetic shield and shock-waves. J'onn was able to shove, grapple and pull Jemm without touching him and while being several feet away, as well as seemingly make a metal grate fall from the ceiling into Jemm's path to separate him from Alex several feet away.
- Flight : J'onn can use the telekinesis to move himself, and simulate flight. When flying he is able to easily keep up with Supergirl, who can go over Mach 3.3 and keep up with the Flash while teaching her proper flight tactics in battle, although he is notably slower than Superman, Supergirl and the Flash respectively at their top speeds.
- Shock-waves : J'onn is able to project waves of telekinetic force to hit, propel, crush or cut a target.
- Telekinetic-shields : J'onn is able to generate a shield of telekinetic force for different purposes.
- Opti-chroma kinesis : When in his natural form J'onn's eye colour is a rather bright shade of red. Because of this, his eyes glow this sanguine colour whenever he has a burst of adrenaline in a different form, however, he can control his eye colour as earlier on in the series he would intentionally make his eyes glow red - however, whether he had irrational bursts of energy at those times is unknown. Consequently, there is enough evidence to prove that J'onn has the ability to manipulate his eye colour.
- Expert combatant : As the director of the D.E.O., J'onn is an expert in unarmed combat, although he was not quite on par with Astra, who managed to defeat him in their brief duel.
- Expert stick fighter : J'onn is a capable stick fighter; he was able to go toe-to-toe with Lar Gand, an expert stick fighter in his own right.
- Expert marksman : As the director of the D.E.O., J'onn is an expert with firearms, as shown when he was able to shoot at the Hellgrammite while simultaneously driving a vehicle.
- Genius-level intellect / Expert tactician / Leader : Because of his extended Green Martian lifespan of over 300 years, J'onn is exceptionally intelligent, being an expert tactician, and being able to synthesize a special new variety of Kryptonite just for Bizarro. He can also run the D.E.O. efficiently.
- Expert driver / Pilot : J'onn is an extremely skilled pilot, being able to driving a vehicle while simultaneously shoot.
- Multilingual : As a native Martian J'onn speaks that language fluently, in addition to English and Kryptonese.
- Martian knowledge : After Being over 300 years old J’onn is very understanding of his Martian heritage and after doing half the reach with his father he has learned more of their martian life from it.
- Pyrophobia : After seeing his people burn, J'onn developed a fear towards fire.
- Fire : While shape-shifting, any part of his body that comes close enough to touch fire partially transforms back into its true form, which could be used to expose him and even weaken him.
- Hank Henshaw's bullets : The original Hank Henshaw designed bullets to be able to harm and weaken J'onn, causing glowing red wounds in his skin. Though, due to his regenerative healing abilities, they disappeared in minutes, which also undid the damage to his bio-armor. He would have been killed with these during his first encounter with Hank if Jeremiah Danvers had not saved him.
- Maaldorian atmosphere : The air of Maaldoria contains a special silicate which makes it toxic to Martians.
- Stasis-field device : When interrogated by Jim Harper, a device created by Project Cadmus was used to keep him from shapeshifting or using his other powers, which was specifically used to keep him in the form of Hawk Henshaw and render him effectively human. The device created a smell of burnt rubber, possibly working off his weakness towards fire and extreme heat.
- White Martian blood : If a White Martian's blood is injected into J'onn's blood system, it will slowly cause his original form to become that of a White Martian, turning into a White Martian with green skin at first. Along with hand tremors, he will start partially transform into a White Martian even when in his human form and will lose control of his ability to shape-shift. The infection can also affect his mind, as he hallucinated his dead family and saw a co-worker as one of the White Martians, which he nearly attacked.
