Why did you change the terror sister hairstyle?

Why was Cameron worried about the Terror Twins making out after all he's a supervillians why would he care?

Why did Superboy and Miss Martian blew their cover at the end of the episode?

Greg responds...

1. She changed it. Or Phil Bourassa did. The comic book version got the rough from Phil. Concept art. Later, Jay Oliva wanted a more Gwen Stefani look, in part to differentiate Tuppence more from Shimmer.

2. Dude? She was his sister (or at least he thought so)!!! (Plus, Junior was into her.)

3. Overwhelming emotions (and/or hormones)!

Xanadu writes...

In "Denial", is the psychic's name "Madame" Xanadu or "Madam" Xanadu? The episode itself shows her name as "Madam", but you and the credits list her as "Madame".

Greg responds...

It should be "Madame", I believe.

Wow, it's fun to have our mistakes pointed out!!

1) Why were Ojo and Hook allowed to keep their tech implants at Belle Reve when they could have been removed?

2) For that matter, Icicle I's plan seems needlessly complicated and drew undue attention from the Justice League, why did he specifically need his son, Killer Frost, Cold, Freeze for the jail break when all he needed were destructive tech weapons that could be smuggled into the prison?

Greg responds...

1. LOL. Didn't you notice the "boot" over Ojo's eye? Compare his appearance in episode 6 with his appearance in 11, and it's hard to miss. Ojo was allowed to keep his tech to allow him to see. But it was booted to prevent him from using it as a weapon. Hook did NOT have his hook again until after the prison break began.

2. Presumably, he needed experts in the art of coldness.

Does the show take place in 2011? The photograph of Dick in the trophy display in "Schooled" shows the year 2011 on it.

Greg responds...

No. That photograph, or rather the date on it was a mistake. As with the wikipedia-style bio of Red Tornado, someone was attempting to be helpful and put that in without running it by myself or Brandon. By the time we saw it, there was no way to remove it economically.

We intentionally have NOT put a year on the present day events on the show. There is NO CANON YEAR, as far as I'm concerned.

But the days of the week are based on the 2010 calendar. And in my timeline, now a whopping 185 pages, for purposes of math - relative to events in the past - we're set in 2010.

If you can answer without spoiling (if you can't, I can always ask later), what was it about "Terrors" that you felt a personal affinity for and made you want to write it personally?

Greg responds...

1. I like prison episodes.

2. I really wanted to do the "Dude, that's your sister!" scene.

3. Originally, there was a subplot in the episode that I had a personal affinity for. But we had to cut it for time. So it'll wind up appearing in issues #14 & 15 of our companion comic book.

So I just finished watching Terrors and may I say; well done sir, well done. I loved all of it; from the awkwardly long kiss to Icicle Jr. (who I'm guessing doesn't have a lot of friends- because surely that habit of hitting on his friend's sister would have been knocked out of him by now if he did.)

So I'd like to ask you important, insightful questions but that's not my style so sit back for pointless tedium.

1. In the episode, after the news report of Martian Manhunter’s (I'm sure stunning) defeat of Headmaster, Freeze said that they now knew what all the leagues were doing except Red Tornado. What were the other members up to? Or is this a case where you knew story-wise they were all busy but you have better things to do then spend your day slaving over the particulars?

2. Was Superboy's disguise for this mission a dye job and a hair cut?

3. If the answer to 2 was yes, is being poor at disguises hereditary? Because that's a trait I'd slap onto Superman too.

Okay now for something a little more obscure...

I don't know why but I've fallen in love with prison guard Wilcox; to the point that I've given him a fictitious first name (Fitzwilliam) and a vague background (he grew up tough until he hit puberty, then… he grew up tougher) so...

4. Is Wilcox a dc character that's making a cameo in this episode or is he just a random character you created to fill a role? I tried to google this on my own but the only two Wilcoxs I would find was Laureen Wilcox and William Wilcox- Laureen is defiantly a woman and William has less of a back story than the one I've given Fitzwilliam Wilcox…

5. Who voiced Wilcox?

Greg responds...

1. Uh... the latter, for the most part. Although, I think they all made a point of being seen to encourage the Belle Reve prisoners to proceed with whatever plan they might have.

2. Yep.

3. If you say so. But it worked fairly well, since the Terror Twins were not well known.

4. Wilcox was named for our line producer David Wilcox.

5. James Remar.

What grade is Dick Grayson in school? Perhaps he's jumped a grade or two? Or takes advanced courses?

Greg responds...

He's in 9th grade. A freshman in a six-year-school, the Gotham Academy, which goes from 7th-12th grades. Artemis, by the way, is at the same school. She's a sophomore, but she's new. So although she's in a grade above Dick, he's starting his third year there, she's starting her first year there.

Hey Greg just wondering would it feel like to kiss a Martian? 2. If Martians are biogically 48 years old and they look close to 16 just what is the Martian age for being able to legally marry if they do that at all?

Greg responds...

1. Depends on his or her form, I would think.

2. If you're talking about Miss Martian, you've got it wrong. She's CHRONOLOGICALLY 48 Earth years old and BIOLOGICALLY the equivalent of an adolescent, the approximate equivalent of an Earth girl of 16. She can LOOK however she feels like within the parameters of mass and her shape-shifting abilities. As for the legal age of consent on Mars, I'm going to say 54 Earth years, just to keep myself out of trouble.

1. Does John Constantine exist in the YJ universe

I say this after looking through forty archive questions about King Constantine'a appearance on Gargoyles

2 Could you use him on the show?

I asked this because DC did not let them use Constantine on the old Justice League series. (Though a guy who looks like him appears in the background.) This was partially because at the time they wanted to keep Constantine in his own universe. They also did not want to encourage kids to pick up Hellblazer which is not appropriate for younger readers. Now, though, that Constantine's been brought back into the DC Universe; it might be possible for him to appear on YJ.

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO RESPONSE.

2. Ditto.

Hey Greg.
Up until this point, from what I can gather, you have stated the numbers of years of experience for the following heroes; Batman (9), Superman (10), Robin (4), Kid Flash (2), Aqualad (2), and Speedy/Red Arrow (3).
I was wondering if you could also reveal that information for the remaining 14 of the 16 members of the Justice League as well as Guardian?

Greg responds...

I guess I could. But I'm too lazy. At least at this moment.

1. How much faster Barry can run than Clark?

2. Why was the League secret and how did they become known to the public?

3. How long has the League been work with the U.N and why do they work with the U.N?

4. Has there ever been an super registration act like in marvel civil war that existed on Earth 16? If so does it still exist or will it exist later on in the future?

Greg responds...

1. Much.

2a. At first, that seemed like the best idea.

2b. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. They don't work WITH the U.N., so much as they are chartered by them.

4. There was something like that in the 50s during the Red Scare.

Hi.

What YJ fansites/forums do you usually/regularly visit? I'm asking because you sometimes address fan theories and rumors, so I wonder where you read them.

Greg responds...

I've lurked at a number of sites, including but not limited to Toonzone, YoungJustice.Net, Superherohype, Comic Book Resources, Jinxworld and others.

A lot depends on how much I'm procrastinating.

FYI: The timestamps of "Drop-Zone" are fixed in the Volume One DVD release. Not sure about the reruns.

Question: Is the title supposed to be hyphenated? Because it is on-screen, but not on promotional material for the episode or on the back of the Volume One DVD.

Greg responds...

It is supposed to be hyphenated. Generally, "canon" is what's actually ON the episode, not promotional materials.

Do the members of the Light know the identity of each other? As of Targets, at least L-2 and L-3 are aware of each other. If so, they why did they confer together with their faces scrambled in Fireworks?

Greg responds...

As of Targets, you didn't know who L-2 and L-3 were - though I assume by now, you have confirmation. Of course, I'm sure at the time, you made an educated guess - based on voice actors and other factors - but the conversation that Lex and Ra's shared hardly guaranteed that they were in the top seven. There are many characters who talk about and/or do some work for the Light, who are not.

But, yes, the members of the Light know who they are. But they're very security conscious.

Doctor Fate writes...

After watching Denial, I had a question.

1. Kent Nelson states that he hadn't put on the helmet for 65 years, which would mean since 1946. During that time period, 1940-1951, you've stated that the Justice Society operated. From 1941-1945 the JSA expanded to become the All-Star Squadron. So does that mean once the All-Star Squadron returned back to the Justice Society, Kent Nelson retired from being Doctor Fate? Or did he stay on a little while after?

2. At what age did Kent become Doctor Fate?

Thanks.

Greg responds...

1. Kent gave up wearing the actual Helmet of Fate, fashioning a half-helmet that does not submerge his personality. Using magic studied and gleaned by osmosis during his years as a tool of Fate, he still pretends for a time to maintain the Doctor Fate identity but is significantly less powerful.

2. 36.

Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?

Greg responds...

You can expect him to be true to the character that we've developed for THIS series.

I don't know how else to put it. The out-of-the-gate personality of the Superboy from the comics didn't make sense to us given the origin we were giving him in our show. That's not a value judgement; it simply reflects two different approaches to the character. We tried to be true to the core of the character as we saw it. You may not feel we've done justice to him, but we feel pretty good about it.

As the series progresses, he'll grow and develop, and hopefully you'll enjoy how that progresses... here on Earth-16.
