It Isn't Easy Being Green for Beast Boy & Martian Manhunter (Spoilers)

Beast Boy and Martian Manhunter undergo changes for Dawn Of DC, as the Lazarus juice fall across the DCU

Published Mon, 23 Jan 2023 16:27:11 -0600

Changes are coming to the DC Universe tomorrow, courtesy of Lazarus Planet: Once We Were Gods and Action Comics #1051 that will play out across the DCU. We mentioned a few occurring to Superman and Aquaman. But here are a couple more, to Beast Boy and Martian Manhunter that may have some lasting impact on their respective titles.

Beast Boy is undergoing psychic therapy after Dark Crisis left him uncommunicative, thanks to Omen and Power Girl's new psychic abilities, gained from the Lazarus Juice.

And it's all down to the Beast Boy connection to the animalistic morphogenic field known as The Red. That Lazarus Juice is getting in everything. Including more psychic powers being gained by others, such as Raphael Arce, gaining empathy powers, able to suck away people's pain.

But when it's memories of Doomsday killing Superman, that memory has a bit more of a memetic hold than others, and it's time for J'onn J'onzz to transform as well…

That Lazarus Juice gets everywhere!!! Action Comics #1051 and Lazarus Planet: We Once Were Gods #1 are published tomorrow from DC Comics.
