Origins:

20,000 years ago Mars was a planet in chaos where Burning Martians were the dominant life form. They were a ruthless and barbaric species that constantly battled themselves. The Oan Guardians of the Universe considered the species extremely dangerous but rather than commit genocide the Oans affected their genetic development. The Oans saw in them the potential to be either great champions or terrible demons and altered their genes to push them in a positive direction. The Guardians also gave them a particular vulnerability to fire.

The Martian Manhunter, J’onn J’onzz attempted to overcome his vulnerability to fire with the assistance of the villain known as Scorch. Scorch was able to help J’onzz to overcome the genetic block that was placed on Martians by the Guardians of the Universe, but in doing so J’onzz reverted to a Burning Martian. As Fernus the Burning he despises and seeks to destroy the Justice League.
