| Origin |
| An ancient
race of chaotic and warlike beings the Burning Martians were perceived as
a threat by the
Guardians of the Universe.
Opposed to eradicating an entire race, the Oans saw potential in the
Martians and genetically manipulated them to be vulnerable to the
very force which drove their chaotic impulses, fire. Suppressed of their chaotic
impulses Martians then became known for their creative works, culture and dedication to justice and
peace.
Eventually Martians were rendered practically extinct by a psychic virus
which exposed their collective minds
to chaos and consumed them in an uncontrollable flame.
The only known survivor
J'onn
J'onzz wandered the vast Martian desserts in shock for what may have been
years or a millennium, until he was teleported to Earth by
Professor Erdel, who was attempting to create an interstellar
communications device.
