I am completely stuck on this. JC members, help me make a Martian Manhunter custom to fit in my majority GIJoe NFCverse.

MM is the coolest DC character of them all IMO and the first one I've ever wanted to cross over into my 'verse which is 85% Joe/Cobra/IG based but where SHIELD, the Corps, IMF (Impossible Mission Force), and a few Transformers also exist off to the sides. For his bio all I have so far is he's a friend and comrade-in-arms of Space Shot and Quisp in their interstellar and Earthly adventures. (Space Shot is in WIP stage, Quisp is shown in the mascots thread)

I've already settled on using a modded Renegades Ripcord's head as the base head, and the Jungle Viper's cloak/smock/belt thingy instead of the trademark cape... I have no idea what idea to do with the rest of his body. Goal here is more realistic, less superhero-y.

any ideas?

Lime green skin or uniform. A Martian policeman with telepathy and a fear of fire.

Dusty Red Martian camo body armor! Maybe a "Crysis" body? Martian armor could also explain some of his more outlandish super powers. I made one years ago and submitted it to the queue, it should still be in the lists. I used a "Heavy Water" fig back then, many more interesting options are now available.

Here he is.

Military or sci-fi-ish?

can't decide... might have to strike a balance of some kind if possible


awesome! I might rip a bit of that off for mine.


lime green skin, definitely, obviously. I dig the Martian cop idea...

Well, if you like the Martian Cop idea, maybe you could look at Shockwave or some of the other Urban Themed Joes for inspiration?

If I were going to do it, I would play more off his John Jones identity and maybe use the Resolute Destro (long coat) as my base or go for mysterious and use the other Resolute Destro (red and blue flight suit one) and throw a hood on it and make the red eyes pop under the dark hood. Just some food for thought.
