J’onn J’onzz replaces Reeves and is taken to the alien homeworld. There, he demonstrates his martian powers, convincing the aliens that Earth is too powerful to conquer. Then he squashes an alien rebellion before returning to Earth. The aliens still believe that Reeves is the Martian Manhunter and award the recluse with a plaque in his honor.
