Remember that awesome, two-part pilot from the animated Justice League series from Bruce Timm? The episode where shape-shifting White Martians infiltrate high ranking government offices around the world and launch a devastating invasion that's narrowly repelled by the likes of Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter? Well, something similiar could occur on CBS' Supergirl as Martian Manhunter actor David Harewood has confirmed that White Martians are headed to the show.
Said Harweood, "In Episode 11, we have a visitor from another planet who’s a White Martian. There are two Martian species - it feels really weird talking about this (laughs) I’ve not been able to say anything about it - there is a Green Martian species and a White Martian species and the White Martians, in our story, are responsible for the death of the whole of the Green Martians. It was a fire and they burned them and we get to see a lot of that."
Of course, comic book fans and Young Justice viewers are well aware that the inclusion of White Martians could lead to the introduction of the Martian Manhunter's adoptive niece, Miss Martian. Created by Geoff Johns and Tony Daniels, M'gann M'orzz is a White Martian who pretends to be a Green Martian in order to hide on Earth and escape the civil strife between the two species.
Supergirl currently airs Mondays on CBS at 8/7c.
