The Martian Manhunter may not be the most famous member of DC's Justice League, but he is one of the original members. The character was first introduced at a fairly low point in DC Comics, but he helped assemble the iconic team just a few years later, and he continued to have some weird adventures over the years. He didn't show up in the 2017 Justice League film, but he does appear in Zack Snyder's cut of the film, where he is played by The Blacklist's Harry Lennix. Let's take a look at the explanation of the history of DC's Martian Manhunter.
