- —Armek to M'gann M'orzz[src]
Armek (died February 2017) was a White Martian. He was sent to Earth (Earth-38) to capture his ex-wife M'gann M'orzz and take her back to Mars. M'gann regarded him as the worst of their kind on Mars.
Biography
At some point, Armek was married to M'gann. After she disappeared, he assumed that she had died.[1]
In an attempt to capture his ex-wife in order to return with her to Mars, Armek impersonated Winn Schott.[1] When his identity was made aware, a fight ensued, with him fighting against both M'gann and J'onn J'onzz. He was knocked out by M'gann with a metal pole, but shortly regained consciousness and was shot by Alex Danvers.[1]
Powers and abilities
Powers
- White Martian physiology: Like all White Martians, Armek possessed extraordinary powers, such as superhuman strength, near-impenetrable skin, incredible speed, telekinesis, telepathy, shape-shifting, intangibility and even the power to defy gravity.[1]
- Extended longevity: Armek's life span was considerably longer than a normal human and likewise ages much slower. He had been at least 300 years old.[1]
- Super strength: Armek was stronger than humans, as well as some aliens, nearly as strong as a fully-powered Kryptonian.[1]
- Super speed: Armek could move at superhuman speeds. This may be due to his enhanced strength seeing as how he can't run at speeds comparable to most speedsters.[1]
- Shapeshifting: Armek was able to change his form at will, even on a cellular level, completely altering his physical appearance, allowing him to transform or mimic other people, animals or other creatures.[1]
- Malleability: Armek could stretch and bend his body (E.g. into large whips to grab things at greats distances).[1]
- Accelerated healing factor: Due to his shape-shifting powers, Armek is able to heal faster than a human would.[1]
- Contaminant immunity: Armek was immune to human diseases and illness.[1]
- Racial conversion via blood transfusion: If Armek's blood was injected into a Green Martian's blood system, it will turn them into a White Martian.[1]
- Density-shifting/Intangibility: Armek was able to move through solid objects or to increase his density to become near-invulnerable.[1]
- Invulnerability: Armek's body was far denser than a human's, but nearly as durable as that of a Kryptonian.[1]
- Telepathy: Armek was able to read the minds of other people (except for Kryptonians), communicate with others mentally and projects his thoughts in to others, as well as hear others people's conversation psychically. He proved that he could also create a strong psychic link between him and Winn Schott; that allowed him to mimic his skills/intelligence.[1]
- Mental detection: Armek could feel and detect the mind of others, as well as their intentions, emotions and mental states.[1]
- Psychic translation: As a White Martian, Armek can psychically translate other languages.[1]

Abilities
- Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: Armek is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant.[1]
- Expert of deception/Manipulator: As his shape-shifting powers replicate the physical form and voice of a person, Armek must instead rely on natural acting.[1]
- Multilingual: As a native Martian, Armek speaks that language fluently, in addition to English.[1]
Weaknesses
- Pyrophobia: Like all Martians, fire could weaken Armek and cause him pain as martian biology is connected to their psychic state. It could also reveal his true form whenever shapeshifted, as any part of his body that came close enough to touch fire partially transformed back into its true form.[1]
- Maaldorian atmosphere: The air of Maaldoria contains a special sulfide which makes it toxic for Armek.[1]
