Now that Hank Henshaw has been revealed as J’onn J’onzz – a.k.a. Martian Manhunter – in Supergirl, it seems we’ll soon be seeing more of his race with the introduction of the White Martians, according to TV Line.
We have a visitor from another planet who’s a White Martian. There are two Martian species — a Green Martian species and a White Martian species — and the White Martians, in our story, are responsible for the death of the whole of the Green Martians.

The White Martians are a warrior race from Mars, who possess the same powers and abilities as the peaceful Green Martians. They made their first appearance in JLA #1 back in 1997, and were created by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter.
Supergirl airs on CBS on Monday nights, returning January 4th.
