Superman & Martian Manhunter ?

[Lord of Denial]

What is the connection between an infant Kal and MM?

I have hear vague references to MM being involved with Kal coming to Earth or something.

And what is between Original Starman and Jor-El?

From memory...

J'Onn worked as an African American migrant worker in Smallville to investigate Kal's rocket. He was chased by a lynch mob and defended by the Kents.

He later tested a young Superman by posing as Jor-El and commanding him to turn on humanity. Superman refused and passed the test.

Regarding Starman...

The original Starman located a Kryptonite meteor during DC1M.

His son, Jack Knight, visited Krypton via time travel in a story that is now apocryphal at best and told Jor-El of earth. Krypton's continuity has been tweaked several times since then and if this story stands in any form, it probably didn't happen quite as we saw it published.

I thought I remebered seeing some trivia once that J'Onn was the first being on Earth to encounter baby Kal's ship. But It din't know the rest, or if after the crisises- its still a part of continuity.

I KNOW IT TO BE TRUE BECAUSE I SAW IT ON TV. I also watched as Brain tried to teach the baby and bend him to his will with his collection of the great dictators flash cards.

He also wond up in Japan when baby Ka-el got playfull and tossed him thru the roof of Acme Labs. Also saw the horror of to lab mice trying to change a super babies diaper.

In the end the two Lab mice dragged him and his rocket back to a small kansas farm and watched as two loving people found the little tyke!

Just curious--was this post inspired by

Clark's encounter with J'onn J'onzz in last night's Smallville episode?

(Spoiler warning for the one or two people living in Outer Patagonia who didn't already know about this...)

That is the only reason1

Haven't racist lynch mobs in the rural U.S. been anachronistic during the past thirty or so years? If the story were set during the 1930s, it would seem believable, but since current Superman continuity would date his infancy back to the 1970s...

Nope

I was reading JLA the offical guide and it mentions that MM saw Kal in his ship put it did not go into further detail

I think it happened in John Ostrander's Martian Manhunter series.

Probably not, but that was a good story really, too good to change.

Yeah, I've got the issue in question. It was in a mixed lot of comics I bought a while back. I need to go reread that.
