When did he become black-coded? It was like everyone just suddenly started selling him as a "black" character.

Tyler Walker
Grayson Hall
Bloodwynd
Camden Campbell
The JL cartoon had a black voice actor so it just subconsciously stuck I guess
Dominic Adams
He's not explicitly white, therefore desperate minorities will claim him.
Cooper Wilson
Makes me wish they had set him up as their Nick Fury rip-off with the New 52/DCEU instead of Waller
Jason Roberts
fucking casuals
Logan Martinez
Same reason people think Piccolo is black
Christopher Hernandez
No hair, low voice and resting bitchface?
Andrew James
MM has changed alot during the years. In the beginning he carried a laser pistol, bc you know he's a detective. Now he's just another Superman light.
Isaac Sanchez
He's a Martian, he shouldn't be "coded" to any race. If anything, he should be more weird seeing as how his example of humanity are his Justice League pals. Then again, I guess being a telepath is a handy way around that.
Hunter Ramirez
Easy to make a wise Other figure an exposition-spouting Mufasa, I guess.
In the comics he's also an Italian cat and a Japanese woman named after Sailor Mars.
Nicholas Reyes
Pics of that? I've read his initial adventures and don't remember that. Sounds dope tho.
Sebastian Carter
When I started watching the Wire and Lance Reddick came onscreen and I thought, "huh, this guy looks like Martian Manhunter." And later when I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn and saw him again and said, "Yup. Weird."
Parker Stewart
>Batman has seen Sailor Moon
Kevin Reyes
it was hugely popular in the early nineties
Caleb Reyes
>Damian! I see you've been reading Doujinshi on the bat computer!
>Father! I can explain!
>When you're finished with your current set, I want you to read all of Black Dog's works, especially the ones with the sailor scouts. Trust me, it will come in handy some day.

Evan Adams
>When did he become black-coded?
Is he? Seriously asking.
Isaiah Cooper
>Sailor Mars
Mercury.
John Harris
He's cool, and american media taught me only blacks are cool.
Jose Brown
For me it was Preacher.
Ayden Powell
But the actual father abonded his kid while piccolo is the one that was forced to raise him
Sebastian Brooks
Don't give me that shit: Piccolo moved in while Goku was out of town.
Tyler Wilson
>The JL cartoon had a black voice actor so it just subconsciously stuck I guess
his alts were white
Noah Allen
That makes ZERO sense. Race changing and turning Flagg or Faraday into their not-fury jr makes more sense.
Christian Jenkins
When they realized they had no actual black team members on JLA.
Nathan Clark
He's been shown as taking a black skin tone even before the most recent maxi by Orlando and rossmo (which was absolute fire)
Brody Hughes
Does that mean it's a mostly aesthetic thing or a just a choice of what his civilian disguise is? He's a shapeshifter, so I can't really see how this makes it coded, just one of many characteristics he could take and happens to.
Owen Cruz
I'm not the one who used the term coded.
I don't care for all that gay/"progressive" shit.
He's been black as a human sometimes particularly since the cartoon. I don't care how you want to read that decision.
Dylan Flores
I don't care for it either. I'm just trying to figure out if this is actually a thing or someone's spewing bullshit again. If it's just a matter of him taking the form of a black human sometimes, that's all I need to know.
Samuel Thomas
He's not saying make him a soldier/spy you blithering retard, he's saying have him as the one who brings the team together.
Gabriel Gutierrez
His people were enslaved and killed by the WHITE Martians.
