Comment: Martian Manhunter appears in four flashbacks with Fire. Twice while they were both serving with the JLA, once just after the destruction of Montevideo, and once just after the death of Ice.

Synopsis:

Cameron Chase interviews Fire, a former member of the Justice League, about her realationship with the Martian Manhunter. Fire recalls ocassions on which they saved each others lives, times when she feels that J'onn stole her limelight and times when J'onn was incredibly kind to her (for example when he comforted her after the death of her friend Ice). However, when she discovers that Chase is from a US government agency rather than a magazine, she is enraged.

Later, the Director debriefs Chase, who has verified another of J'onn's alter ego's in the course of the interview, and suggests that the leverage the DEO has over him could be used to great advantage - his telepathic abilities could be of great use to them.
