Feature Character(s):
- Martian Manhunter (loses the ability to use his powers while invisible; reveals himself to the public, while retaining his John Jones secret identity)
Supporting Character(s):
Villain(s):
- B'rett (first appearance; an escaping Martian criminal; uses Formula Z6 to rob J'onn of the use of his powers while invisible)
Comment(s):
- As stated in the flashback in Justice League of America #144, J'onn was going to wait six months after their adventure to reveal his presence to the general public. Whether this story takes place earlier than the six month mark is unknown, but it accomplishes the same thing.
- B'rett is colored a pale yellow instead of the standard Martian green. He may actually be a White Martian.
