I'm a big fan of multiverses in DC and Marvel Comics, and that's just because each universe presents something that makes them unique from other universes. The problem with handling a multiverse in a comics industry appears to be that sometimes you introduce a parallel Earth, give it a little background information, and eventually you never hear about it again or it is rarely mentioned at all. I remember some time ago that when the DC multiverse crossover event called "Infinite Crisis" ended, the result created a mainstream Earth (New Earth/Earth-0) and 51 other parallel Earths. The parallel Earths (most of them anyway) were introduced in some way in a comic book series called "52." In the years following the introduction of that particular series, I have noticed many contradictions concerning what is canonically the official 51 parallel Earths (not including the mainstream Earth) within the DC multiverse. The problem got bigger when I realized the DC multiverse was rebooted when the DC crossover event "Flashpoint" was finished. After reading Action Comics #8, the tagline at the end of the issue mentioned the introduction of a Superman from Earth-23 in the new DC multiverse. This confused me because I thought that the cartoon series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" took place on Earth-23 (pre-relaunch of course), which already had its own version of Superman in it. I read on the Internet last night that some people believe that DC cartoons that take place on parallel Earths may not be canon. SO, in the case of your Young Justice cartoon/comic series, is your interpretation of Earth-16 truly a part of the official DC multiverse as one of the 51 parallel Earths, even NOW since the DC multiverse is rebooted?

Greg responds...

Honestly, I don't know.

Since the new 52, perhaps things have changed for the PTB@DC.

But until someone tells me otherwise, Earth-16 is still part of a parallel universe within the DC Multiverse. Frankly, I'm not sure I EVER understood why there were ONLY 52 parallel Earths. Either something is singular or it's infinite. But those are all decisions made above my paygrade.

Hello. First off, I love Young Justice. The characters (both heroes and villains) and the plot are amazing. I would like to ask you two questions about Rocket specifically.

Are Rocket and Icon related? And are Rocket's powers something she was born with or does she have them thanks to her belt? In the comics, it did say they come from her inertia belt.

Thanks in advance and great job with Young Justice!

Greg responds...

1. Icon is Rocket's mentor. Rocket is Icon's inspiration. They're not blood relations at all. (He's not even really human.)

2. Rocket's powers come from her belt.

Regarding Zatanna's spells, does Ms. Chabert have a difficult time pronouncing some of them on the first go? Do you choose to write the spells a certain way that allows for them to be more easily read?

Greg responds...

1. Yes, sometimes, though she's a real trooper about it, and she practices them all in advance.

2. They are simply written backwards. She and Jamie and I work out the phonetics as we go.

These might be spoilerific but I'll try anyway.

1. Is the green martian body that Miss Martian showed as her "true" form what green martians really look like in this continuity, or do they look like their typical more monstrous selves shown in other continuities?

2. Has Dr. Fate not thought to split body time with someone? It would have been a lot easier for him to convince someone to give up their body a few hours a day than permanently.

3. Parasite's plan was to open a black hole, directly above him... Did he have an escape plan?

Greg responds...

1a. No.

1b. They look like her White Martian form. Only, you know, greeen.

2. NO COMMENT.

3. The question is really: What was Intergang's plan?

Hello, Mr. Greg Weisman,

This is posting #36. I've got some questions to ask you.

In regards to things involving the Daily Planet on Earth-16:
a. How long has Perry White been in charge of the Daily Planet thus far?
b. Who was in charge of the Daily Planet prior to Perry White?
c. How long has Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent each have been working at the Daily Planet thus far?

Thanks for taking the time to read these questions!

Greg responds...

a. I don't know.

b. Probably George Taylor.

c. I haven't calculated all this stuff. Sorry.

I saw in the archives that someone asked about the religions that the members of the Justice League are practicing, so I was curious about the religions of the members of the team as well. I think it is safe to say that some of them, namely Miss Martian, are already revealed (in her case in Denial), and others like Aqualad and Zatanna can be inferred from their counterparts on the Justice League. Also, since it will be a while when you do get to this question, I would appreciate if you would answer this for any and all new additions to the team as of answering this question as well. Thanks in advance.

Greg responds...

Hmmm, I don't love answering this kind of question casually. It requires research that I haven't (yet) done. But I'll give it a shot. Just don't hold me to it.

B-01 Robin/Nightwing - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-02 Aqualad - Atlantean Pagan.

B-03 Kid Flash - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-04 Superboy was given no religion.

B-05 Miss Martian - In theory, grew up worshipping the Gods of Mars.

B-06 Red Arrow - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-07 Artemis - Fairly confident, she wasn't brought up with any faith...

B-08 Zatanna - Catholic.

B-09 Rocket - Baptist, maybe?

B-10 Tempest - Atlantean Pagan.

B-11 Aquagirl - Atlantean Pagan

B-12 ?? - ??

B-13 ?? - ??

B-14 ?? - ??

B-15 ?? - ??

B-16 Batgirl - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-17 Bumblebee - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-18 Lagoon Boy - Atlantean Pagan.

B-19 Beast Boy - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-20 Robin - Protestant Christian of some kind.

B-21 Wonder Girl - - Protestant Christian of some kind with a new respect for Amazon Pagan.

B-22 Blue Beetle - Catholic.

B-23 Impulse - Protestant Christian of some kind (assuming there was time for faith post-Reach Apocalypse).

B-24 ?? - ??

B-25 ?? - ??

B-26 ?? - ??

Hey Greg! Just wanted to say I loved YJ and a had a few questions about the universe for you.

1. Have all the JSA members who were active on Earth-16 been shown already? Or are there some that weren't on the archive footage?

2. Are there any other Superhero groups on Earth-16 other than the JLA right now?

3. On Wikipedia it says that an imaginary story about Batman and Superman's children took place on this universe. Is that still canon to this verse?

Greg responds...

1. They haven't all been shown.

2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

3. No.

Hello, Greg. One quick question:
I was just looking at the comic sample called Face Your Fears. In the panel where Robin has his mask in his hand, it doesn't have lenses. Is this a blooper? I just don't understand where the white lenses went :O
Sorry for the random question :/ But I hope you answer it!

Greg responds...

I didn't write on that issue, but it sounds like a mistake.

As billionaire Bruce Wayne's adopted son, does Dick get a lot of privileges (big allowance, credit cards, wants vs needs) or does Bruce keep him pretty down to earth?

Greg responds...

Both probably.
