Sorry for the multiple posts, but i didn't want to risk asking too many questions in one post.
1.)Do the team help each other out with schoolwork or compete with grades? Wally's really good with science, but do any of the others have subjects they're really good at?
Thats it, thanks in advance Mr.Weisman!
Greg responds...
I'm sure, they all help when asked. And different kids are good at different subjects, with considerable overlap.

Hi. Someone else requested a video of Jason and Stephanie performing Wally and Artemis. I'd like to second that! They are soooo funny. I realize that it is too late to do this for the season 2 DVD, but do you think it would be possible to produce something like this as a special feature for a season 3 DVD? (Obviously, I am assuming there will be a third season.)
Greg responds...
They don't seem to be putting too many extras on DVDs these days, I'm afraid. In any case, it's not up to me.

Hi again. I'm excited for season 2 and can't wait to see the season finale (in English, I'll admit to spoiling it for myself). Sorry for repeats/dumb questions/clogging up the line wit mass questions (apology for past grievances). Mostly artist quality questions.
1. Do you have any say over the character designs while they're being made, or just the final cut?
2. How long does it take to design a character for a show, and do some people take longer to design than others based on things like gender or if they're a hero or villain?
3. Bourassa's designs for most of the JLA have been carried over into many projects, including Young Justice, so would a design for a villain be carried from another project?
4. I love the designs for everyone on Young Justice, particularly Klarion, the Brain and Queen Bee. The Brain looks so unique from any other version, Queen Bee's outfit looks perfect, and Klarion looks way better than in the DCAU. Hell, he looks kind of sexy to me.
We're both a little disturbed by that last one, aren't we? Keep doing the good work, send by boundless praise to every artist on the show, and I'll seek some clearly needed help.
Greg responds...
1. I have input at every stage.
2. This is more of a question for Phil. I'm sure he'll be thrilled that I'm linking his site: http://philbourassa.deviantart.com/?rnrd=7885
3. Nothing's been 'carried over'. Sometimes, Phil makes a similar choice from a previous project. But every character in YJ was designed for YJ.
4. Will do. Thanks.
Marvelman writes...
Is it possible Young Justice could be continued in the comic book or OAVs if the show is ever cancelled?
Greg responds...
Anything's possible.

Appart from Wolf, does any member of the team have a pet?
Greg responds...
Superboy has two pets: Wolf and Sphere. Miss Martian has Beast Boy: does that count? ;)
BHZ writes...
1-Has Garth ever been to the Surface?
2- Do the Atlanteans know the Amazons, since they share some myths?
I guess half of season 2 will have aired by the time you get to this question,
I hope a season 3 has already been announced!
Greg responds...
1. As of when?
2. Aquaman knows Wonder Woman, at least.
Wonderfulakari writes...
So which companies have the greatest profit/influence, Lexcorp, Wayneindustries or what even Ollie runs.
Greg responds...
Ollie has no company - he's always just on this side of being broke - and he would tell you that means HE is winning.
Paul writes...
1) Will there be another pack of cards available at the July comic-on this year, this time with other characters on them like say Hawkman, John Stewart, Blue Beetle etc?
2) On the off chance that the new intro for Young Justice: Invasion is shortened for time by Cartooon Network like they're doing with the season 1intro at the moment, can you let us know the running time of the full Invasion intro please? Is it 20 seconds long?
3) In the time between Downtime and Auld Acquaintance, did Kaldur hang out with Garth at all?
Greg responds...
1. I wish, but no.
2. We never did a long version for Season Two.
3. Yes. (Have you picked up our companion comic?)
Anonymous writes...
1) Did Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) become available for use before "Usual Suspects" was written?
2) If so, why did you decide to make Rocket the 8th member instead?
3) Was Rocket mainly added for ethnic diversity? I know you'e fan of Rocket and Icon as well, but was diversity the main reason?
4a) Any particular reason why you felt that as many as 3 of the Team's members needed to have evil fathers (or an evil donor, in Luthor's case)?
4b) What made you opt to go the 'rough background/from a broken home' route with Artemis when you could have just done so with Aqualad (who is also descended from a criminal)? Doing so would have created more variety in the characters' backgrounds. Apologies if this question comes across as rude, I do like Artemis but I feel that her saga could have been covered by Aqualad (aside from the love interest for Wally bit lol.)
Greg responds...
1. I don't remember the exact date, but she became available AFTER we had already set the entire first season.
2. Rocket was ALWAYS planned to be the NINTH member from day one, which is why we seeded her in a handful of times in earlier episodes.
3. Diversity was a reason, but it was pretty far down on the list. As you mentioned, I always liked Rocket and liked what she could bring to the Team in those last couple episodes.
4a. Honestly, it just worked out that way. We actually de-evil'd Wally's dad back to his pre-Millennium good dad state.
4b. We weren't trying to 'COVER' beats like it's some kind of checklist. We wanted the AQUALAD you've seen on the show, the one with a solid parental childhood who had been one of the big four teen sidekicks. (The fact that we've since learned that he's Black Manta's son, doesn't change the guy you knew in Season One, who believed his father was Calvin Durham.) Likewise, we wanted the ARTEMIS you saw on the series, with the background we gave her. We didn't need and weren't looking to combine these elements into one character to service some pre-ordained needs in as few characters as possible. The whole process is WAY more organic than that.

Hello again, Mr. Weisman. My questions today relate to Ra's al Ghul and the League of Shadows.
1. Has Ra's ever been an assassin himself, or does he merely command them?
2. Did Ra's found the League of Shadows?
3. Whether Ra's founded the group or not, when was the League of Shadows founded?
4. When did Cheshire join the League of Shadows?
5. You've identified Talia's mother as a woman named Melisande. Was/is she also Ra's' wife?
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions, and those of many others. It is much appreciated.
Greg responds...
1. He's killed people, if that's what you're asking.
2. Yes.
3. I haven't pinpointed a date, but it was a long time ago.
4. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
5. Yes.
Lurker writes...
1-When will the comic book catch up and begin telling stories of season 2? Also will the comic tie into the video game?
2-Dont you think it would be a good idea to publish character profiles with a few informations, to make the question line a bit smaller?
Greg responds...
1. Starting with the VERY end of issue #19 (out now) - but really starting with issue #20 (out in September).
1a. Given enough issues, sure.
2. We've got FAQs up the whazoo. Trouble is few check them.
Tup writes...
It appears my last post was deleted in light of your new no-long-lists policy (I have to say I agree, though this time around, my list was only three questions.) So, I resubmit one question, and come up with two new ones (all sort of Captain Atom-y related). I hope it gets through.
1. In the whole JLA/I/E/Extreme Justice era of the 90s, Captain Atom did not get along with Wonder Woman. Green Arrow and Hawkman were never big friends, and Batman seems to detest anything that glows green. Are there any "fights" or rivalries in the League in YJ, or are they all big super friends?
2. Seeing as how the Vietnam War is now over 40 years ago, and not 20 as it was when you and Cary wrote the Captain Atom comics, how does it influence characters? Rako was made a kid (and around 50 now?), but how old are Rois and Eiling? They both have to be well over sixty, or even seventy.
3. Which Captain Atom-derived character is your favorite, Major Force or Bombshell?
Greg responds...
1. Without going into details, they all get along professionally, but some are better friends than others.
2. Yep. It's an issue that I've largely avoided dealing with so far. But eventually. The main shift that through me so far, was how old I had to make Peggy Adams Eiling.
3. I'm not that familiar with Bombshell, and I co-created Major Force, so... take a guess.
jon damon writes...
hope this is good with the new guidelines.
1. Is Aquaman king of Atlantis, or King of All Seas?
2. Is all of Atlantis in the Atlantic? I'm just asking because "Lemuria" shares its name with the hypothetical sunken land in the Indian Ocean.
3. Is Poseidonis in the northern of southern hemisphere?
Greg responds...
1. Technically, his title is "Orin, King of Atlantis, Poseidonis and the Seven Seas".
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. Northern.
Anonymous writes...
1. Correct me if I’m somehow mistaken, but wasn’t there supposed to be some kind of catastrophe that nearly wiped out the Martian race at some point on Earth-16 or did that catastrophe never happened at all and all the Martians still alive?
2. Were ALL White Martians treated as second-class citizens, or were there those within the Red/Green Martian population who might have been sympathetic towards them? It would be hard to believe that the ENTIRE Red and Green Martian population would be so cold towards the White Martian population.
Greg responds...
1. Before I answer, please tell me where "wasn't there supposed to be" comes from. I'm curious.
2. Nothing's monolithic. For example, J'onn obviously has no anti-White bias.

Derek writes...
In the marvel Avengers Academy series, the cast is made up of characters that could have potentially become supervillains. The goal of the Avengers is to basically put them on the straight and narrow.
Are there deliberate similarities in this concept to Young Justice.I notice that Miss Martian, Superboy, Artemis and possibly Aqualad all have villanious ancestry. Also the loss of Zatanna and Robin's parents could have served as catalyst to send them down a dark path.
Greg responds...
I think we deal with this most directly with Artemis and Superboy, but the idea of the road not taken is an important theme to the series.
Hawkfan writes...
1. Out of uniform/costume, are there any significant physiological difference between Thanagarians and humans along the same lines as those between humans and kryptonians, or humans and Martians (ie slowed aging, enhanced strength or vision, weakness to elements etc.)?
2. Would you please clarify Hawkman and Hawkwoman's powers on Earth 16? (as an aside, I hope they have some form of telescopic vision, I always like when that was included as part of their powers in the comics)
3. We've only seen Hawkman and Hawkwoman use maces so far. Are these special Thanagarian maces and do they ever use other archaic style weaponry (ie spears, nets, swords, or shields)?
4. At top flight speed can the Hawks keep up with the likes of Superman and Captain Marvel?
5. In the comics, the Hawks feared using Thanagarian weapons and technology on Earth in case they fell into the wrong hands. Thus they started using ancient Earth weaponry instead. Does this part of their origin hold true on Earth-16?
I love the show and the character designs for Hawkman and Hawkwoman on Earth-16. I hope at some point you delve into how they came to be on Earth in the first place. Also, I hope we get more scenes that focus on how the media and the general public react to the League and superheroes. I loved hearing the reporters questions after the induction ceremony in the Usual Suspects. It's always fascinating to think about how ordinary people would react to such a strange world. Also, I hope we get more school scenes for Wally, Dick, and Artemis.
Young Justice deserves 10 seasons and a movie. Keep up the great work!

1. Did Alan Scott's power ring give him the power of flight?
2. As of this writing, every construct that we've seen a Green Lantern make (Hal's giant hand in 102, Guy's baseball mitt, John's sawblade he used to cut the plant creatures in Revelations) has been attached to the power ring itself. Are Green Lanterns on Earth-16 incapable of using projectile type constructs (ex. a bow and arrow, a gattling gun, etc.) or must the hard light constructs always be tethered to the ring?
3. Are power rings on Earth 16 limited to hard light constructs or can a GL create constructs and imbue them with properties (ie create a flamethrower that shoots out flame, or a giant magnet that attracts metal?)
4. How does the media differentiate between the different Green Lanterns? Is Hal just called Green Lantern, and Guy and John just called by their names?
5. Do the different Green Lantern's personalities and creativity manifest themselves in the types of constructs they make? I always liked in the comics how John's background as an architect set him apart from Hal and Guy.
Greg responds...
1. How does any power ring do that?
2. I haven't thought about it, but projectiles seem reasonable.
3. I haven't thought about it, but I lean toward hard light constructs.
4. Mostly.
5. Yes.
Jasser writes...
*sigh* again..
1. Were the side effects of the shields intentional(on Luthor or whoever's point)?
about the shields.
It's very confusing to me, they SUPPRESS his human DNA, but that gives parasite MORE to drain,and also makes him easier to recover his powers;that works like the shields give him Kriptonian genetics instead of suppressing the human DNA that's dominating. Shouldn't parasite, as Superboy suggested, just absorb his genetic potential, even with the human side suppressed? It's not like the shields temporarily change his entire genetic structure...I think.That doesn't make any sense(then again, it is a microscopic plausibility issue compared to the series as a whole, and I don't complain about THAT)... I also could just be misinterpreting parasites power.Wonder if he could absorb tornado or fate or a sharks powers.He spoke of his powers in terms of genetics, but that could just be for this specific case with Aliens, and acrobatics arn't genetic, but DNA isn't learned...I've just confused myself.
so I guess my question, after that exasperated ramble of a build up...
2.What exactly do the shields do to superboy?
Greg responds...
1. Heh heh heh...
2. You lost me in your paragraph. But the answer to your actual question here is exactly what you stated: they suppress Superboy's human DNA, allowing his Kryptonian side to blossom without interference. They also seem to effect his brain chemistry.
