 According to Greg Potter, co-creator of Jemm, the character was originally conceived as the cousin of the Martian Manhunter (Jogar, Jemm's cousin in the series, was originally the Manhunter).This was at a time when the Manhunter had disappeared from the pages of DC Comics for a time.However, part-way through developing the series, Potter was told by editor Janice Race that she had learned Manhunter would reappear in the "Justice League of America".
