The Martian Manhunter is another character, indeed the only real physical match for Superman, who should also be dangerous. Very dangerous.I'll also miss him from the Justice League, although his real talents were never really explored there. Maybe as a Lone Wolf, or in a different group the writers will really start making him interesting.I'm not sure about cool (personally I could care less about cool), I just want him to look at certain villains who kill huge numbers of people and say to himself, "yes, snapping their neck is far better and more moral solution than letting 3000 innocent civilians die in a fist-fight that tears down half of Metropolis."It's still comics, so I doubt that will happen, but if he gets more like that than previous incarnations of "let everyone else die because I feel morally conflicted about killing a mass murderer," (whatever that means, when you know the mass murderer is murdering thousands of innocent people and you won't stop it once and for all) then I'll like him a lot better. To me the ultimate wrong of superhero comics is that the supposed "superheroes" far too often spend their time and energy fighting murderers and super-villains over and over again instead of doing their real jobs, protecting the innocents and preserving innocent life.If Superman (and Batman and most, or even some, of the DC superheroes) become that way then at least they will have matured in my opinion. Cool maybe or not, that's fine by me either way, but I'd much rather see them grow up and become truly dangerous to the wrong people. Without tearing down whole cities in senseless teenage fist fights to try and prove it.</blockquote>
