InAction Comics # 1040 , during a battle against Doctor Trap ( one of Martian Manhunter ’s lesser - jazz villains ) , J’onn gets blasted with fire and sprayed with loony toons . He ’s quickly belt down , damage to a arresting degree , but knows he ’ll apace bounce back if he can overcome his instinctive veneration . He then cerebrate to himself,“my soundbox will heal itself . My cellular telephone renew . I will recover control . “Thankfully , J’onn ’s new cat , Double Stuff , pounce at Doctor Trap and scratches him . This distraction is enough to giveMartian Manhunter a consequence to heal .

While J’onn does n’t blatantly come out and say he has the good therapeutic constituent in the Justice League , it seem to take a minute of arc or less for him to go from a formless , smoke husk to being fully back in action . Two possible member who rival J’onn ’s healing abilities admit Wonder Woman and Flash . In Charles Soule and Tony S. Daniel’sSuperman / Wonder Woman # 2 , Diana evidence Clark she has"divine blood"after a fight with Doomsday , but even with it , she takes several hour to recoup . On the other hand , Flash also has accelerated healingaccording to John Broome and Ross Andru’sFlash # 190 , but has necessitate way longer to cure from burns than J’onn does in this illustration ( plus while Flash ’s organic structure bring around quickly , it does n’t always heal correctly . )

Martian Manhunter ’s healing inAction Comics # 1040is an telling display , and seems to suggest Martian Manhunter ’s mobile phone positive feedback is so tight , recovering his composure is actually the real challenge to getting back on his metrical foot .
