I honestly couldn't care less about supermartian. I just hate Lagoon Boy becuase he has a really bad and short temper, is rude to others, and believes that he deserves everything he gets, plus more. Lagoon Boy is only on the team for pure muscle (his giant, honestly not that effective balloon form). He hasn't really done anything all that useful so far. I agree that arsenal is kind of the same way, but he has an excuse. And he's certainly intelligent. And through his developement, the fans were definitely meant to sympathize with him more than Lagoon Boy. And everything Miss Martian has done is in an attempt to help the Team's cause. Granted, her methods were extreme, but her results (until  she mindraped Aqualad) were undisputable. And again, through her character development, it is clear that the viewer is supposed to sympathize with her
