The Martian Manhunter appeared in the comics first. This is for characters that appeared in other media originally.

White Martians on the other hand do qualify.

Pretty sure those appeared in the comics first.

Yup, In Morrison's JLA run.

Edgar Rice Burroughs had them on Barsoom long before there was a DCU.

What's Barsoom.

So sad.

THIS Isis:

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

Nice! Loved her as an adition to the Shazam mythos.

Batwomen -Kathy Duquesne, Rocky Ballantine & Sonia Alcana

Batwoman from Mystery of the Batwoman animated (Kathy DuQuesne Roxanne Ballantine and Sonia Alcana)

Loved the Batwomen. Wish they became a regular trio of Flying Foxes.

Mars, basically.

Are you serious?

Okay I just looked it up and now I see what you mean. I'd never read the John Carter books and never saw the film.

So, there were White Martians in the Barsoom series where they exactly the same as the ones in DC?

Not exactly the same, but the inspiration is obvious.

The leader of the Hyperclan did look exactly like a Burroughs White Martian though.

I think El Dorado's got some potential.

[Güicho]

+ = ?

I think El Dorado's got some potential.

As Hanna Barbera's El Dorado? Or as Young Justice's Eduardo Dorado? Sadly we didn't get an Ultimen Dorado.
Or maybe a hybrid/combination of both? (actually what I would love to see for all the HB creations)

[Trey Strain]

The Barcave isn't a character of course, but I was surprised to learn that it first appeared in one of the Batman serials.

Harley Quinn, Jimmy Olsen, Harrison Wells, Andrea Beaumont.

Some sources claim that Olsen first appeared in the comics (in a nameless cameo), although his first name-referenced print appearance did come after the advent of the radio show.

Perry White, however, definitely made his debut on radio.
