Many manhunters were killed, but J’Onn and the remaining manhunters joined minds to force the Parademons back to Apokolips. Metron blamed the Martians for giving Darkseid the idea of Anti-Life, and J’Onn volunteered to go on a solo mission to Apokolips and halt Darkseid’s plans and free those Martians already taken to Apokolips, including M’Yrinn.

(Martian Manhunter II #24) - Manhunter told Green Lantern Kyle Rayner a cautionary tale about addiction.

They caught Guine and broke up his operation, but Meade almost died because of Jones grandstanding. Manhunter consulted Jason Blood, who told him John Jones was acing amoral because he lacked a soul. Manhunter had to save Jones from Parademons, and learned that Guine’s organization was connected to Kanto. Kanto confronted Jones and had Intergang goons inject him with the drug BZRK, which gave a user superhuman strength before killing them, but Manhunter soon arrived, distracting Kanto and giving Jones the chance to inject BZRK into Kanto. Kanto fled to Apokolips to take the antidote, an Manhunter helped Jones use his telepathic abilities to block the BZRK from immediately affecting him. Kanto then hid in a tesseract, but Manhunter and Jones found him. Kanto used the tesseract to divide Manhunter into the various human personas he’d taken and began to murder them one by one. Jones promised Kanto to reveal the secrets he knew about Earth’s superhumans if Kanto would save his life.

He realized their human victims’ skeletons remained intact so he changed his body to imitate human bone, keeping him safe from the Bloodworm’s acid long enough to hurl them into space.

Green Lantern contained the explosion, and Batman found the Martian’s lair in Phoenix, Arizona. The Martians captured both Batman and Martian Manhunter. The Martians set up Ion Stations that introduced viral subatomic particles into the atmosphere that attached to oxygen atoms and set them at slow combustion so there’d be no fire on Earth, eliminating the Martians one weakness.

Ailani told them her son was being held in Jarhanpur, and Manhunter and the JLA went there to investigate. They met the country’s leader Rama Khan, who treated them as guests. He explained that Ailani’s son had been chosen to become the new Rama Khan, who connected the people to the land and harnessed the power of the land. If there was no Khan the land would perish and he refused to give up custody of the child. Wonder Woman persisted in Ailani’s right to have custody of her child and forced a fight. Khan harnessed the power of Jarhanpur’s land, and Wonder Woman used her lasso on him, finding that he’d told the JLA the complete truth. Wonder Woman doubted the truth, and her lasso broke.

He told them his people were underwater, kept as slaves for the glory of the Atlantis above water. The JLA learned that Gamemnae was responsible for Aquaman’s condition, the enslavement of Aquaman’s Atlanteans, and the Ancient’s false belief that the JLA were evil. The JLA confronted the Ancients, but were slain in battle withg them. Manitou Raven realized that Gamemnae was evil, not the JLA, and cast a spell to preserve them. Manitou cast a containment spell that sealed off Atlantis from the rest of the world, so that Gamemnae could not conquer it. Thousands of years passed, and in the present, when the raised Atlantis had been revealed to the world, Gamemnae broke free, drained Earth’s water supply, and battled the JLA that Batman assembled as a contingency plan while his team was stuck in ancient Atlantis. Manitou animated the bodies of the JLA to battle Gamemnae, and her spell to absorb others into her only affected the living she fully resurrected the JLA. With this part of the plan complete Zatanna and members of the new JLA went to 1,000 B.C. where they freed Aquaman, who merged with the ocean, and sank Gamemnae’s Atlantis. Zatanna cast a spell that returned Aquaman’s Atlantis to the present day. Gamemnae, weakened by this change in history, was easy prey for Manitou Raven, and he sacrificed himself to destroy her.

The Crime Syndicate of Amerika, who’d been posing as the JLA, revealed themselves and attacked the heroes. The JLA were battered and forced to retreat. The essential differences between the anti and positive-matter universes that prevented the Crime Syndicate from ever being victorious on the JLA’s Earth no longer applied after Krona tampered with the universe, meaning Earth was theirs for the taking. The JLA knew there only advantage was that the Syndicate was small because they had a tendency for in-fighting and back-stabbing, so the JLA would raise all their reserve members. Qwardians traveled to the positive-matter universe and blamed Earth for the reality altering wave Krona unleashed. They prepared to attack Earth with the doomsday weapon Erdammeru. The JLA and their reserves split into threee teams, one to fight the Qwardians, one to battle the Syndicate, and one to travel to the anti-matter universe to shake up the Syndicate’s Earth. Manhunter was on the team that traveled to the anti-matter universe. The JLA on Earth informed the Qwardians that Krona was responsible for Qward’s destruction, and had been defeated by the JLA. The Qwardians returned to the anti-matter universe, but vowed to destroy the Crime Syndicate’s Earth for having dared try to invade their planet. Batman had planned for this to happen, and set his team on the anti-matter Earth into motion. The rest of the JLA entered the anti-matter universe, and forced the Syndicate to ask them for a favor, help in defeating the Qwardians. The Construct, who’d become an integrated being and was grateful to the JLA, contacted Flash and promised it could communicate with Erdammeru, the Qwardian doomsday weapon. Erdammeru still didn’t understand the concept of other and refused to make peace with the Construct, but their connection enabled Green Lantern John Stewart to absorb the weapon into his power ring, defanging the Qwardians.

(JLA #115-119) - Flash called the JLA to the Watchtower and told them that if they didn’t confess to Batman that they altered his memory he would tell him. This was news to Manhunter, and he decided to see Batman and tell him what the JLA had done. The rest of the JLA was divided on what to do, but they were interrupted by distress signals from Happy Harbor and OpalCity. Former members of the Secret Society of Super-Villains had their memory restored by Despero, and were seeking vengeance on the JLA for tampering with their minds. The picked off Red Tornado in Happy Harbor and Ralph Dibny in Opal City, and then defeated the JLAers that responded to their distress signals. They villains then turned their attention to Manhunter and Batman, presenting him with the unconscious bodies of the JLA. The JLA revived, and the villains chose to retreat. The JLA confessed to Batman, but he already knew they’d manipulated his mind. He was in a rage and decked Hawkman, who was very much behind all the JLA’s actions. The JLA presumed that the former Society members who had their minds intact remembered their secret identities, and went to look in on their loved ones. Martian Manhunter sensed a disturbance in the Watchtower, and was confronted by Despero. Despero thought the mind wiping incidents would tear apart the JLA, and he didn’t want Manhunter around to bring them back together. The former Society members made an attack on the Daily Planet, trying to kill Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. They planned to take out all the JLA’s loved ones. The JLA defeated them, and Superman revealed that Batman told him that the JLA mindwiped him. This treatment of Batman tempted Superman to quit the team, but first the JLA had to decide what to do with the villains who knew their identities. They voted on mindwiping them again, and ended up with a tie, so they went to the Watchtower to get Manhunter’s vote. Manhunter was long gone, having been defeated by Despero. Despero subjugated his mind, took Aquaman’s mind and brought them to the Batcave, where he claimed Batman’s mind as well. The rest of the JLA responded, but Despero picked them off one by one, and had them fight each other. Zatanna had a change of heart, and after putting Despero in suspended animation she mindwiped the Society members again. The JLA agreed that they were a shadowof their former greatness and disbanded. Manhunter returned to the Watchtower and made plans for a future version of the JLA. Manhunter reflected on the state of the world, and strongly suspected that the corruption of the magical world, the Rann-Thanagar War and the rise of the O.M.A.C.s were connected. Superboy Prime arrived at the Watchtower to tell him he’d guessed right, and then attacked him.
