Arthurian Survivors:
1. Arthur Pendragon
2. Lady of the Lake
3. Merlin
4. Nimue
5. Galahad
6. Percival
7. Morgana le Fae
8. Lord Oberon
Reason for #8 Um, can we say Loop hole? You said yourself that Oberon is Merlin's father, therefore he's from the Arthurian period. And we can clearly see he's still alive. :)
And YES, I'm a goober.
Greg responds...
Six points. (See my previous answers and forty lashes for you, since you didn't check the archives which long ago ruled out Oberon, Puck, Titania and Mab as contest-answer survivors.)

8. Queen Maeb
Reason for #8 well, Maeb did figure into some of the Arthurian legends...even in the NBC miniseries "Merlin." And you've talked about possible inclusion of her in the series, that Oberon merely imprissoned her...She's still alive.
Greg responds...
Well, as I mentioned once before, I wasn't counting Mab as particularly Arthurian. Frankly, before the "Merlin" mini-series, I had never encountered that character in an Arthurian context. So yes, Mab survives. But she doesn't count in my book. By the same token, Merlin's father could be considered an "Arthurian Character" and thus Oberon could be considered a survivor too. But that's not the kind of thing I had in mind for the contest.
Having said all that, you scored six.
Thank you. Come again.

Hello Mr. Weisman,
While searching the archives I found interesting that you would rather accept Thor as dead, but my concern mainly goes toward the character of Loki.
1) Was he in your plans for future Gargoyles stories?
2) Would someone like Loki view Puck as an enemy or an ally in his endless mischive?
Thanks for your time.
Greg responds...
1. I just answered this. (Didn't you look at the questions already posted, before you posted this?)
2. I had a TRICKSTER story planned to feature Anansi, Puck, Raven, Coyote, Alex and Lex. Somehow GOLIATH CHRONICLES turned this into the "Ransom" episode. (Don't ask me how.) Anyway, we'd have seen that Tricksters all have their own POVs. Sometimes their interests converge; sometimes they compete.

Oberon questions:
1) Was Oberon's overthrowing Mab a simple usurp or skirmish, or a war?
2) Not sure if this counts as a seperate topic, but..who would automatically succeed Oberon if he died? I can understand that naturally they'll be lots of fighting and power struggles, but in theory, who would succeed him?
Greg responds...
1. Very war.
2. Titania.
LSZ writes...
Death-Gods again:
1) Who is the most powerful of the Death-gods, not in rank, but sheer raw power.
2) I can understand that Anubis has no longing for power, and wouldn't overthrow anybody..but wouldn't it be possible for a death-god with more ambition than he to overthrow Oberon? Having the power of Death seems pretty nasty.
3) Why would Thoth create a scroll to make anyone the avatar of someone as powerful as Anubis?
Greg responds...
1. What is power to death? (That's not a smart-ass response. My point is the question is unanswerable. It's moot.)
2. Don't underestimate the big O. He beat Mab.
3. Why would we create the Atomic Bomb? It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hi Greg, first I'd like to say I was always pleased greatly with the portrayal of Anubis, but Odin left just a leetle to be desired. However, some questions on the Norse myths in teh Gargoyles Universe:
1) So Thor is most likely dead. What about Loki?
2) If Ragnarok has come and gone, does this mean Jormungandr and Fenrir are dead too?
3) Hel-is this Death-goddess still (haha) alive?
4) When did Ragnarok occur?
Greg responds...
1. Haven't decided. Probably dead though. I've already got four tricksters, how many do I need?
2. Fenrir? Probably, but you never know. Jormungandr I don't recall. Who's that?
3. Probably alive, yes.
4. Ago.
Sorry, you didn't like Odin. How come?
Todd Jensen writes...
This question's also a Norse mythology one. In the cosmology of the Gargoyles Universe, where do you see Asgard fitting in, since the Aesir are part of it? Do you see it as on Avalon, or as a "home away from Avalon" for Odin and the other Norse gods?
Greg responds...
Home away from home.

In the beginning of the Gathering Part 1, we see a caped figure just leaving Oberon's throne after paying his respects. I noted he looks a lot like DC Comic's Phantom Stranger I was wondering, is the resemblence was deliberate?
Greg responds...
I doubt it. But I didn't design Nought's look. Actually, the character Frank and I discussed wasn't supposed to have a head. Just a hat -- floating an appropriate distance above Nought's collar.

Hi Greg,
If you were to compair drivers licence birthdates, who would be older, Xanatos or Owen? I say drivers licence because if you consider Owen's age as being based on Puck, then he would be several thousand years older, but if you consider Owen's age as his creation date, then he would be at least 15 years younger.
A related question, did Puck match Vogels physical age with Owen as well?
Greg responds...
As to your last question, yes, I would think that initially Puck tried to get as close to Preston as possible without going over, i.e. without making it SO freaky that everyone took DISTURBING notice.
I'd say Owen's driver's license probably lists him as a few years younger than David. But their pretty close.
Greg Bishansky writes...
Which of the seven series was Queen Mab supposed to appear in?
Greg responds...
Gargoyles. Maybe TimeDancer, though I had no specific plans for that. Possibly Pendragon too.
But mostly Gargoyles.
