Miss Martian does seem to be filling the niche vacated recently by Mary Marvel (when the latter went all dark and crazy and thoroughly unappealing). Miss Martian is now the "good girl" super-heroine of DC Comics, at least visually... and will probably remain that way until someone reboots the Marvel Family and gets them all back on track.

It's derivative of another ugly costume.

But she's cute when she's in it.

I really like the character. It made bringing back the Kryptonian Supergirl redundant ........so of course they brought her back :)
The neat twist is that the character has every reason to be dark....but she isn't.

Who is she?
I know she's been in Teen Titans and a billion event crossovers,
but I don't know anything at all about her specifically.
What's her story?

Garth was so broken up over the death of Martian Manhunter
that he started cross dressing as him, but—since he didn't want to be
too disrespectful, he first altered himself into a young girl.

So, Miss Martian is a good girl NOW, but....

Spoiler: show
...will become a future villainess? Do I understand correctly that
sometime in the future she is destined to lose her
internal war with her White Martian nature and become
evil?

She's a White Martian, a few of that martian "race" (as much as a shape shifting species can have race) survived, and Miss Martian is one of them. The White Martians differs from the Green because they are more warrior-like and have tried to conquer Earth a few times, but Miss Martian is all cute and heroic.

Eh. I like the character of Miss Martian,but you know that some writer is going to make a "meaningful" story by making her become corrupt.

Its like the Alex Ross redesign of Suprema.(almost nude) Completely missing the point.
Or when Morrison had the White Martians punished in a Silver Age fashion only to have Mark Waid use that as a story idea that ensured many Humans died.....making the Martian Manhunter a real schnook .
