Martian Manhunter is my name.

In case any of you are wondering, Jonathon Jones is not my real name but, rather, just a pen name.  For purposes of keeping both myself and my family safe, I felt a pen name was the best way to go. So, how did I come up with the name? Those of you who are comic book aficionados may appreciate this. Back in Detective Comics #225 from 1955 the green-skinned Martian Manhunter made his first appearance. However, in public he used a human form alias, a detective by the name of John Jones. I decided to alter the first name to a lengthier form and just decided to use an o for the spelling as opposed to an a. And voila, Jonathon Jones was born.
