The Malacandran Collective, known terrestrially as "The Martians", is an advanced alien race that has lived on the planet Mars for thousands of years. While they are not native to the planet, their exact origins are not known. The aliens known Skrulls share many features with the Martians, leading to believe a shared ancestor, maybe even being the results of an early incarnation of the “Super-Skrull” program.
Indeed, there may be truth to this hypothesis, as it appeared at some point rampant mutation in the species caused a genetic divergence in the Martian genome, creating what would be known as the "Green" and "White" subspecies.
The White Martians were an albino minority that possessed all the abilities of their Green cousins - Shapeshifting, Density Control, and Psychic Abilities. The White, however, was a much more aggressive species than the Green, and the Malacandran Collective spent millennia struggling to integrate them into their peaceful society.
After many violent uprisings, the Collective opted to exile them from the planet, rather than risk the lives of innocents any further. This had the unfortunate effect of spreading them throughout the local cluster, leading many to believe that the Malacandrans are a violent species.
The current government Malacandran Collective has been working hard to counter this stereotype, sending representatives to many in the cluster to help and educate. On Earth, this has been J'onn J'onzz, a respected peace officer who goes by the code-name "Martian Manhunter".
