Is Martian Manhunter as strong as Superman?

Not only is Martian Manhunter, AKA J’onn J’onzz, more powerful than Superman, but one of the most powerful heroes in DC lore. Given this wide assortment of powers, Martian Manhunter could defeat Superman in a number of ways, the easiest of which would be using his telepathy to “fry” Clark’s brain.
