Who should be Martian Manhunter's definitive flame based villain
Scorch
Fernus
thanks for the votes. i knew who you guys would pick lol.
The green detective had best learn,
Lest he taste infernal burn,
That he hunts not a human man,
He stalks the demon... Etrigan!
showoff.......

Just because I'm better than everyone else doesn't make me a showoff. :3

Box of matches
thank you for trolling and being of no use whatsoever. cuz we totally dont have enough of that.
Wouldn't that be a little too obvious? I mean, that would be like Superman having a villain named Kryptonite-Man.
... oh, that's right... He does have one of those...
i think every hero/heroine has at leat one
@avenging_x_bolt: Except for Wonder Woman, but Tie-Me-Up Man would be kinda weird:)
@waezi2: true. but tie me up woman would be just perfect :3
@impurestcheese: the one true Z lister. so obscure that he appeared in one panel only lol
Scorch is a love interest, not a villain. I loved how she helped John overcome his flame weakness pre-flashpoint. Fernus basically IS John. I dont think John should be his own archenemy.
My vote is for the Human Flame. Liked his appearance in FC. Would love to see a new 52 revamp of the character
@black_claw: another vote for Fernus! Thanks for the help
@lvenger: that could work. What do you think? Some kind of Martian Demon? Perhaps a completely different alien creature?
@onemoreposter: she started out as a villain for Superman and battled MMH at least once before being transitioned into a love interest iirc. There is also no reason she can't serve as a villain or love interest or even both in the New 52
@avenging_x_bolt: Possibly a Martian demon or another type of Martian that was banished/imprisoned by the Green Martians only for it to escape and confront MM later on. I like the idea of Fernus still having a link to Mars as that's what could make him a formidable opponent to J'onn in that he represents a twisted nature of MM's home planet and culture.
A few thoughts
In/Human Flame
The Human Flame gets my vote, because he's such a great foil to Detective John Jones, the worst of human banalities. The InHuman Flame upgrade fits well with how J'onn got powered up in later years, as well as showing the Flames decided lack of sense.
Scorch
I dig Scorch more as a femme fatale love interest than a straight up villain, especially since with her motivation J'onn's most effective strategy proved to be simply understanding.
Fernus
Fernus has a cool look and an interesting twist on the whole "evil martian" thing that is often used for MMh villains. Almost too powerful to be recurring though.
Heatmonger
As much as I love JLTF, the whole Aryan/Freemen Zeitgeist is a little lost on me.
Etrigan
Naw, too strong a character to be dedicated to J'onn, and much more interesting as an anti-hero.
Effigy
Even though he's a GL villain, I'm okay with he and J'onn tussling every now and again.
The Pyre
Was this Frank? Cuz this is a deep cut.
Osprey
Gotta be Frank. Was this dude even fire based?

Interesting....thanks you for taking the time to share your thoughts, im sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I see what you mean, he would require a pretty extensive reboot to show up often.

Same here. and it honestly doesnt seem like anyone in the GL staff is interested in him anymore.
The Pyre
Was this Frank? Cuz this is a deep cut.
I have no idea what you mean by Frank. i just know that Ostrander intended to introduce an archvillain called The Pyre for J'onn but the book got canceled before he made it in
Osprey
Gotta be Frank. Was this dude even fire based?
Again, who the hell is Frank? and he had flaming wings , so i just decided it couldn't hurt to toss him in

@avenging_x_bolt: Frank Diabolu is the proprietor of the finest MMh blog on the interwebs, idol-head.blogspot.com.
I was assuming from your deep knowledge of obscure MMh villains you had to be him. Glad to know there are more than two of us out there :)
@mathematicscore: oh wow, I pop over there every now and again so I don't know how I couldn't know who he is....
