    AND he's missing a tooth. Why doesn't he use his shape-shifting powers to just grow a new one?

    Well, he is in a flaming Cage of Fire, guys...

    By the way... my personal theory?

    The real Martian Manhunter never left Apex City. He's still living, disguised as, I dunno, a cow or something. Maybe a flamingo.

    In the Squadron Supreme, the ersatz Martian Manhunter is indeed a Skrull, known as the Skrullian Skymaster. Lookie!

    Where is that scan from? Was there a new Salvation Run issue I missed?

    Spending years as cows is time honored a Skrull thing to do as well.

    Just ask Reed Richards

    It's from a preview copy of the next issue of Salvation Run.

    You do know that my first reaction to his new look was "SKRULL!"

    I noticed that chin similarity the other day myself. I probably would have *never* noticed if Skrulls hadn't been in the news so much lately. Not like I knew anything about them until they were suddenly everywhere...

    A shapeshifter pretending to be another shapeshifter entirely is an interesting mental exercise.

    Kind of reminds me of the Theatre des Vampires in Interview With A Vampire; vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires...

    Maybe the Skrulls are Martians?

    "Maybe the Skrulls are Martians?"

    They don't LOOK like Martians. They look like Dire Wraiths.

    I guess he also forgot that he's no longer vulnerable to fire since Joe Kelly's "Trial By Fire" arc on JLA. Jeez, even Mark Verheiden remembered that in his first Superman/Batman issue.
