The Martian Vision looks too much Superman's Heat Vision. how would you change it? What power would you give in exchange or add if the case would other
What power would you improve of MMH?
Simple - TK. His superstats and "Martian Vision" all to be various manifestation of telekinesis.
We already have Superman in the JL. Manhunter needs his own shtick and being the ultimate X-ma... I mean, psychic, is what will emphasize his archetypal uniqueness which I think League should be all about.
Powers
1. Shape shifting
2. Telekinesis
3. Telepathy
4. Phasing
Think Clayface but with TK and TP. Heck, I might even retcon Clayface's origin to make him a villain for MMH. And make him immune to his TK and TP.

This.. Telekinesis is a power that he already own but too much unexplored (almost 0 appearances), DC Writers should augment the appearances of that specific one. AGREED!
Energy Absorption sounds too Silver Surfer to me, but still cool
No heat vision, instead give him something like a sonic screech. Heat vision doesn't make sense for a being afraid of fire, but a sonic screech could be his Martian gods' gift to the last of their species or at least the kindest of their species.

Sounds different, haha
@thehercules: I think I'd fit in. They'd just need to explain it by saying he makes his throat denser before vibrating the air inside. It's just a byproduct of shapeshifting.
Now that I think about it they could give him an air cannon where he takes in as much air as he can then shoots it out of his fingertip. I mean Superman's cold breath is just air he forces out extremely hard, it it came out a finger tip, a much more condensed spot, it'd fire harder.
@hypnos0929: Pretty sure he already has a sonic scream.
Yep. His mentality of an outsider, his demeanor, his unusual appearance as opposed to humanlike aliens like Kryptonians, Thanagarians or Daxamites, all of this makes him a perfect "X-Man" of the Justice League. They should expand on that. And how can they do it better if not also making him the psychic and then some more? I mean:
TP - Xavier
TK - Jean Grey
Force Beams/Optic Blasts - Cyclops
Phasing - Kitty
Shapeshiting - Mystique
Invisibility - Cipher
And for god's sake, that red X he's wearing where others wear Bats, Shields of Hope or Amazon Armor, I mean, it was always there!
Telekinesis
IDK why I bumped it, but here some thought
I want so much to see this power again, would be nice he in Rebirth, hardly restraining people like Barry Allen/Wally West and more easily Superman!
and able to use some Telekinetic Blasts (he needs an Energy Projection power that should the 'Heat Vision Rip-off').
I would write his Telekinetic Blasts at Large planetary destruction level. I know that sounds kind of silly or OP, but this is J'onn, he is the most powerful superhero. I hope it comes back.
Shakiest character concept seen in ages, IMO. If the MMH's authors knew that he would last this long, I'd bet they would have took more care designing him. Nowadays it's clear he is whole-filling stuff wherever he appears.
First, I'd remove the usual "standard super powers" set of flight, strength, speed, durability and some silly brand of energy vision. It's not like these characters are any rare in DC anyway. I would instead concentrate on his shapeshifting abilities to reproduce these by adopting another form if needed, his prime powers being mental in nature, especially TP and mind-related senses.
Then I'd give him a appearance that is more alien, less unsightly than the bastardized form he seem to favor. Oh, and I'd simply call him "Manhunter".
