Hi Greg,
I've just watch the YJ episode "Denial" and I did enjoyed it. Thanks for letting Jeff Bennett reprise his role as Abra Kadabra from B:TB&TB onto YJ. Oh and Kent Nelson seriously does sound like Adam West even though he isn't voiced by him.
Greg responds...
Wow. Uh, I don't think Kent Nelson (i.e. Ed Asner) sounds ANYTHING at all like Adam West. But if that's what you hear...

since it has been said many times that Artemis is not an original character will there be any original characters on the show hero or villian who will have a big role in atleast one episode?
Greg responds...
Yes... depending on what qualifies as original. But not many.
Ceylan writes...
Hello Greg,
1)Why is Artemis' secret identity classified? Would it be too revealing if the viewer know her real name?
2)Is her real identity very obscure and not as known as the rest or did you and rest of the people working on the show have covered it up so perfectly that noone has figured out who she is yet?
Greg responds...
1. Her real name is Artemis Crock.
2. It was beyond obvious from day one, but often fans look for more complicated explanations.
A Gargoyles Fan writes...
First and foremost, I probably should've looked more carefully when asking the previous question, and I'm sorry for that.
I've checked around the archives, and taken a better look, and haven't found an answer for this.
Sevarius stated once that if a Gargoyle didn't go through stone sleep, they would have to eat several cows in order to get the energy they need. Demona doesn't go through stone sleep anymore, so how does she get the energy she needs for when she becomes a gargoyle once more?
Greg responds...
I'm not sure you're quoting Sevarius correctly, but in any case... magic compensates for Demona's lack of stone sleep.

1. Will Lex Luthor appear in young justice if so what will he be like for example would he be president?
2.Will Chris Kent from countdown arena appear in Young Justice cause this earth 16.
Greg responds...
1. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." But, honestly no.

just read YJ #1. can't say i'm a fan of the character design for the "guest star" on the last page. who do we have to blame for that??
Greg responds...
Really, that's how you ask that question? You know just because it's the internet doesn't MANDATE that you HAVE to be rude. It's not like that's a rule or something. I mean think about who you are writing to. One of the creative leads on the show. How did you PICTURE me responding to that characterization. I get that you don't like it. I can even respect your desire to express that, but learn some manners, dude. GROW UP!!
You know I've been doing ASK GREG for over a decade now, and I've had obnoxious posters before on everything from Gargoyles to Spectacular Spider-Man, but I have to say the general rudeness level on Young Justice is just beyond the pale, these days. I don't want to over-generalize. Plenty of folk with manners, too, but the level of some of you is just making me want to stop. The question asking function is closed for now - not for this reason, but to allow me to catch up on the backlog while we're in reruns - but if this general level of rudeness continues when we reopen for questions, I may have to seriously consider changing the rules to this site.
Cuz I'm getting pretty tired of getting annoyed and cranky EVERY TIME I try to answer questions here. And, at this point, if some of you are TRYING to annoy me, cut it out, because (A) it's like shooting fish in a barrel and (B) you're going to ruin things for everyone else.
In any case, what you saw was Mike Norton's interpretation of a Phil Bourassa design. Both of which, I like, by the way. But if you want someone to blame, blame myself and Brandon Vietti, as no design goes through without our approval.

Dear Greg,
Love the newest episode of YJ! Very interesting combination of villains in there; Sensei, Cheshire, Black Spider (right?), and League Asassin Hook (again, right?). I also liked Speedy showing up as Red Arrow, very cool. And Artemis, ooh I like her already. She's a fun character so far and I can't wait to learn her backstory. Please keep up the awesome work.
Greg responds...
Thank you. We'll try.
And, yes, that was Sensei, Cheshire, Black Spider and Hook.

Hello,congratulations for Young Justice. I have two questions related with the "Infiltrator" episode:
1) Do the Young Justice members still go to missions with their mentors when they are not acting as a team? If not, what implications have exactly the fact that Artemis is the new Green Arrow's protegee? I ask it because Green Arrow remarks than he took Artemis because Roy wanted to act solo.
2) Why has Speedy/Green Arrow a member name and acces to the Zeta-tube? The numbers had to be given after the Cadmus incident (provided that Superboy is b04) and at this moment Speedy had made the decision of leaving the "group".
Greg responds...
1. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. There was hope that Speedy would join, so he was authorized. Even fter he turned down membership, some still held out hope.
Jordan W. writes...
1. What was the J.S.A like in Young Justice and why did they disappeared.
2. What happened in Earth 16 during the gap between the 1940's and the 2000's and why there super heroes and villians during that time.
3. Will Alan Scott appear in the show and how will he be different from New Earth Alan Scott.
Greg responds...
1. They were like... good guys. And they didn't "disappear".
2. Lots happened. I'm thinking there's a typo in this question somewhere, cuz I'm not clear on what you're asking.
3. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
DC Hero writes...
Hey Greg love it if you can answer my questions.
1.Does Kid Flash(Wally West) have the power to use Speed Force like the Flash, his uncle?
2.Whats the heaviest object that Superboy can lift? Just asking because he can easily pick up a car, no problem, but a bus seems a little too much so if you can tell me whats his limit?
Greg responds...
1. There is no Speed Force on Earth-16. But Flash is considerably faster than Kid Flash, which is something we'll explore eventually.
2. Superboy's strength limit's somewhere between a car and a bus.
ElfGrove writes...
I was wondering if you could tell us what the heights of the primary 7 kids (Red Arrow, Superboy, Aqualad, Miss Martian, Kid Flash, Artemis, Robin) in Young Justice were, or at least list them in order of who's tallest to shortest. Robin seems to be consistently the shortest, but I'm unsure where the rest fall in comparison based on conflicting screen shots. (Silly fan artist likes to know who's taller.)
Thank you!
Greg responds...
Red Arrow is the tallest, followed (in order) by Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian, Kid Flash, Artemis and Robin.
Celestialien86 writes...
I don't remember if I asked this question, but is Thailog psychotic or something? I mean I do know that he's the opposite of Goliath, but to me, he sounded like he has gone crazy.
Greg responds...
When?
Richard Jackson writes...
Matt's apartment in "The Silver Falcon" and in "Kingdom": Are they the same place?
I'm only asking since a bomb went off and damaged the apartment on Oct. 27, 1995. ("The Silver Falcon")
Then, a little over two months later, Broadway visited Matt and the apartment seemed to look fine on Jan. 4, 1996. ("Kingdom")
Greg responds...
It's the same building, different apartment.
Maki P writes...
How do you feel about the idea of making a Green Lantern cartoon? (Personally I think it should exists, something like Cops IN SPACE!)
Greg responds...
I think it's a great idea. Bruce Timm and others at Warners are working on a new Green Lantern series even now.
Vaevictis Asmadi writes...
Hello Greg,
I have a question for you about the half-mortal, half-Third Race hybrids. I know that the Children of Oberon cannot use their magic directly on iron. But can half-mortal hybrids use Third Race magic to directly affect iron?
Thank you!
Greg responds...
No. Unless they're using mortal magic.
Edward writes...
Is the Green Arrow short in continuity with Young Justice since you were/are involved with both?
Greg responds...
I was also involved with W.I.T.C.H., Starship Troopers, Gargoyles and the Spectacular Spider-Man, and none of those are in continuity with Young Justice.
Laura 'a astra' Sack writes...
Another typo- I meant in #5 to say that Kid Flash knew Speedy. sorry
Greg responds...
TOO LATE!!! ;) (Cuz I already made fun of you!)
You can see why Wally's so frustrated.

Infiltrator comments:
1- Last one first- I noticed in the credits that three characters had special creator credits- Batman, Miss Martian and Cheshire. Why do some characters have special credits? (I get that some contracts might have been less 'work for hire' than others, but I can't imagine Kane (or his estate) having more control than Schuster & Segal did back in the day (or their estates now), especially considering that Superboy was not one of the specially credited characters, and IIRC Schuster and/or Segal's family actually won in court that they owned the character and he literally died in continuity until DC could sort that one out.)
2- Artimas' interaction with Cheshire and the Light reminds me a little of Cass (Batgirl) and the League of Assasins. More interesting is that she has some sort of relationship with Cheshire, when in the print universe Roy was err... involved with her.
3- Interesting- M'gan has siblings (of some sort) on Mars. I figure asking if she's a White or Green Martian is a "Wait and see" type of question. Would it be a legit question to ask if Mars has a living population in the YJ universe? (just to be clear, if so, I'm asking that ;)
4- What made you have Roy choose Red Arrow over Arsenal as his new code name?
5- Do I read correctly that Speedy, Robin and Aqualad where aquanted with Speedy before the League membership debacle? They, and by extension the rest of the group, seem to relate to him as a friend and someone they worked with in the past and not someone they crossed paths with once.
6- The destroyed weapon- did the stolen data survive the destruction of the device? I would assume that Star Labs stuff would have been downloaded, but the partial attack on Wayne Industries could still be in the device.
Greg responds...
1. This practice is the call of DC Comics legal department, and I'll admit it's a source of curiosity and sometimes perplexity for us as well. I mean, we'd love to credit EVERY character's creator, but we have so many characters it could get a little crowded on that card. And we're not entirely clear why some get the credit and some don't. Great question, though. If you learn a definitive answer, please let me know.
2. ...
3. "ASKED AND ANSWERED."
4. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
5. Speedy was well-acquainted with Speedy. ;) Anyway, yes, all four of those sidekicks knew each other before. Some were closer than others. Aqualad and Speedy were pretty good friends. Kid Flash and Robin are very good friends. But July 4th was the first time all four of them had been in the same place at the same time.
6. The Wayne intel was not acquired by the League of Shadows. The STAR and MBU materials were.
DC Hero writes...
Hey Greg, I saw the promo cover for Young Justice issue 2 and it seems that the Joker is the main villian of that issue.
1. So my question is, is he?
2.If yes to no.1, will the Joker appear in the series?
Greg responds...
1. In a way.
2. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
DC Hero writes...
Is the the reason Superboy doesn't converse with the others on the team (except Aqualad..mostly) is because of his lack of realationship with Superman?
Greg responds...
Super's a boy of few words in general. He's socially awkward, certainly. But I think you're overstating it. And let's not assume we're seeing every conversation on screen. We're not. If you want to see more, supplement your viewing with the new Young Justice in-continuity companion comic book. You'll get more background and even conversation there.
Grant writes...
How many members of the Light are there?
Greg responds...
"ASKED AND ANSWERED."
Maki P writes...
Now more questions about Captain Marvel! (What can I say? I have a soft spot for the Kid)
1)How old is Billy Batson?
2)The League knows he's actually a kid?
Greg responds...
1. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
Maki P writes...
First: Sorry for freaking out with my last question. I had just watched Drop Zone, and I'm a bit sensitive about the portrayal of my language and my culture in media (maybe someday I'll find it in my heart to forgive Jurassic Park's depiction of "San José, Costa Rica" but I don't think so)
Second: Thank you for answering my first question, it was... useless, I didn't expect anything else from you.
Third: Why Wally has to go to school in Infiltrator, but Dick doesn't? I heard that apparently the school year starts at different dates in different parts of the United States. Is that it?
Thanks a lot, and let's hope YJ doesn't suffer Spectacular Spiderman's fate.
Greg responds...
First: Don't sweat it.
Second: Ditto.
Third: Yes, different schools start at VASTLY different times in the U.S. Some schools are quote-unquote year round, meaning that the summer break might be ridiculously short. And schools these days can start pretty much as early as August 1st and pretty much as late as October 1st, depending on the school and the community.
Mike writes...
Poor Wally. Will he ever have any luck with the ladies? Or is he just going to be the Johnny Bravo of the group?
Greg responds...
"SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."

Hey Greg i hope you're coming to C2E2 this year, I'd like to meet you again and ask for advice?
Greg responds...
Nope, sorry.
I will be at Comic-Con in San Diego and ConVergence in Minneapolis this summer.
