Friday Night Fights--Gandhi Style!!

Sometimes it's not how hard you hit. Sometimes it's how you take a punch.

Sure J'onn J'onzz needs to man up occasionally. But when he's fighting a normal human, watch out, brother!

Situation: J'onn is undercover, posing as a UN official while investigating a reported alien killing. Local law enforcement, however, is not being cooperative. J'onn is the dude wearing sunglasses:

Face, meet wall. Wall, face.
OUCH!! That's a faceplant!! But this is J'onn J'onzz, Martian Manhunter, so one punch ain't enough. You gotta keep pounding away...

Deputy Congers is a sloooow learner

The end result:

Beaten by the Martian rope-a-dope!!
That's right: the winner of Friday Night Fights is the cat who didn't throw a single punch!! J'onn J'onzz knows how to take a beatdown AND still win the fight!!

Now if only he could have done that against Doomsday...

Bahlactus went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal...
