DC's Martian Manhunter (CW)
After escaping the eradication of his fellow green martians, J'onn J'onzz came to Earth. He took on the identity of the man who tried to hunt him down - Hank Henshaw, director of the Department of Extranormal Operations.
I've had a lot of problems with J'onn on this show until very, very recently. This last arc of his finally brought his personality around from being a stereotypical government agent to the wise and empathetic pacifist he should be. The costume, though, still infuriates me. Why would the guy who has been living in secret on Earth need a totally non-functional armored black super-suit? Would it not make so much more sense for his true form to be wearing the clothes of his people? They had the perfect justification for the classic harness design, but opted for this one to be "cool" and "edgy" (or more likely, easier to believably render on their special effects budget). It's not that it's a bad design, it just makes no sense in the context of the story.
