u know i like the 'last of his kind' backstory Martian Manhunter has sometimes (e.g. in the DCAU) but I also really like M'Gann so I'd like to propose:
- if left alone for a long enough period of time Martians can spontaneously reproduce
- she's his daughter
J'onn, showing up to a Justice League meeting: everyone, I have wonderful news. I am pregnant.
The rest of the League, who have many questions: that's?? great?? when is the baby due?
J'onn: right about now
The rest of the JL: say what
J'onn: here goes
*bloop*
M'gann, climbing fully formed out of his chest: hi guys!! I'm brand new!! :D
The rest of the JL: ..........................................what
bcos Martians are psychic they Absorb language & other information from their parent before they're born and this extends to like emotional connections w their parent's family so she comes out like !!!! it's you guys! the justice league! my dad told me all about you! I know all your names & I love you all already!! :D
& the rest of the league are like
...
Wonder Woman: You created a fully formed, combat ready child, which burst from your chest-
Martian Manhunter: Yes
Wonder Woman: if you don’t name her Athena I will become violent.
Martian Manhunter: unfortunately she has already chosen a name for herself
M'gann: i could have Athena for a middle name though!!
Wonder Woman: acceptable
