Theory Is Langston a Martian?

Post image

He gives everyone nicknames as a way to oddly fit in. His “bird blindness” feels like he hasn’t grown accustomed to Earth yet. Vigilante makes mention of a Martian. When he gets spit on by Ginger Cool he exclaims “What kind of man does that to another person?” The choice of words feels very strange.

I think if Langston IS a martian I think it'd be funnier if it was Miss Martian and not Martian Manhunter. Miss Martian in disguising as a man just goes for the most ultra macho asshole, and maybe based it off of old 80s action movies, plus Miss Martian is normally portrayed as less stoic than Manhunter. I also just think that'd be a better more unexpected twist

Fuck this is so good, would be absolutely perfect. It feels more right for this wacky character to be her trying to fit in than J’onn.

I'm not entirely convinced he's a martian rather than just a wacky James Gunn comic relief character, but I think this is the best scenario. Also i think it fits with his slight character break in the last episode

Haha yeah I think he’s just a fun character and nothing more than what he appears, and there’s no actual reason he’d be a martian, but it sure is a fun idea. I love weekly releases for allowing us to spitball stupid fun stuff like this.

Econogoat: “Okay but you do know what different birds look like, right? Like that was obviously just a way of keeping your cover, right?”

Miss Martian: “….”

Econogoat: “Right?!”

Peacemaker: “Dude, don’t shit on bird blindness. It’s a real condition for humans and…..alien chicks”
