Greg, I've just watched Secrets. About time there's a good episode. But there's two things that really bother me.
Did you based Harm's constant use of the word "harm" on Mr Freeze's "ice puns" from the infamous 1997 George Clooney Batman & Robin movie?
I noticed a very obvious error with the color of the NYPD police cars. They were black and white instead of white with blue markings. What's up with that?
Greg responds...
'About time', huh?
Great way to start your post. Very winning. Anyway...
1. No. I've never seen that movie.
2. Earth-16.

Hey Greg,
In the Young Justice episode "Revelation," when the plant creatures attacked the bridge in Star City, they were also attacking what appears to be a Metropolis school bus. Inside the bus, only the students and the bus driver himself were seen. Was that some kind of mistake? Was that supposed to be a Star City school bus instead? If was meant to be a Metropolis school bus, I can assume there was some kind of field trip involved, but if that were true, then where is the teacher?
Thank you for reading the question.
Greg responds...
This, for once, was NOT a mistake.
On one level, it's an in joke. That Metropolis school bus gets around. And it always has the same students and bus driver, and it's always getting in trouble on a bridge. (See episode 105 for its first appearance.) Keep an eye out for it. It'll be back.
On another level, it was a field trip. And the teacher IS the bus driver.

What will episode 20: misplaced be about?
Greg responds...
'Misplaced' is episode 19. Episode 20 is 'Coldhearted'.
And here's a complete breakdown of EVERYTHING that happens in both:
19: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
20: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

In Issue 10 of the YJ comic, why was Megan's skin green when in the diner? Wouldn't she have changed it to caucasian? And why didn't the other two men say anything or react to it?
Greg responds...
That's what's called in the business: "A tragically stupid mistake!"
How we all missed that is beyond me. Seriously. I was so embarrassed when I saw it in print. I went back to my color proofs, positive that she was caucasian in them and that some helpful soul had 'corrected' her to green after the fact. But nope. She was green. And none of us noticed until it was too late.
If you need an in universe explanation, I think she forgot to change to caucasian, and her friends were so used to seeing her green that they didn't notice until it was too late. (Sound familiar.) Then you got to figure that Bibbo and Perry DID notice when they entered, but figured she was wearing full-body make-up. They probably commented on it when the kids first entered, but by the time we joined the action, Bibbo had moved on to comment about their cellphone use.
Yeah. That's the ticket!

1. In the episode "Terrors" is the robotic person in Belle Relle Metallo
2. Who is the villan in "Terrors" that was aiding Killer Forst when she freezes Megan?
Greg responds...
1. I'm trying to think of who you might be referring to...? Professor Ojo, maybe?
2. Devastation? Or Shimmer?
You'll need to be more specific, I think.

Hello, Mr. Weisman. If there is a picture of Wonder Girl (if you have done drawing her), will you let anyone, especially fans of Wonder Girl, see herself from the Young Justice series?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Hello, Mr. Weisman,
I have a question in regards to what kind of clone Superboy is.
In the comics, Superboy is Superman's clone mixed with Lex's DNA to stabilize him.
In "Smallville," Connor Kent is a Lex clone mixed with Clark's DNA to stop his accelerated mitosis.
In the show, all that is explained is that Superboy was cloned from Superman's DNA, and nothing else was revealed.
The question that comes to mind is whether the Superboy of the Young Justice continuity is a Human-Kryptonian Hybrid clone, or a 100% Kryptonian clone?
Will we find out how Superman's DNA was acquired to be used to create Superboy in the remaining episodes of this season, or will this be a story for later in future seasons?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT.

"Secrets" was really good!
1. How old is Secret/Greta Hayes? Or rather, how old was she when she was killed?
2. How old is Harm?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
1. Greta was fourteen.
2. Harm is nineteen.

Hey Greg (is it okay to call you by first name?),
I'm puzzled as to why some of the superheroes of the Justice League do not have any voice actors yet? Is it really hard to find the right kind of people to do voice acting for certain characters?
Thanks for reading my question.
Greg responds...
Yes, please. Call me "Greg." Just don't call me late for din--
No, I'm not going there.
<ahem>
Some characters don't have voice actors yet simply because they haven't had any lines of dialogue yet. Voice actors are wonderful, but they are an expense, and we can't afford to give characters lines - and thus hire another actor - just for the fun of it. Plus there's only so much screen time in any given episode. Thus if a character doesn't have anything salient to say, he or she is not going to speak.

1.) Hold on so what a minute here you worked on Gargoyles as in THE GARGOYLES?
That show was/is amazing i watched all the time till it stopped coming.
2.)Goliath, Hudson, Broadway Lexington, Bronx and Brooklyn i think thats all of the original Manhattan Clan and Eliza!!!!! God I miss that show am i right?
3.)And i have always wondered what gave you the idea for this amazing show?
I could not believe it when the show ended. Well technically when they stopped showing reruns i was about 8 which is eight years ago.
And again i saw what an amazing show!!
Greg responds...
1. Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
2. Well, it's "Elisa" with an 's', but, yes, you're right.
3. The ASK GREG archives are full of details on this. The short answer is simply: gargoyle statues themselves.
AmaraRae writes...
sorry if someone else has already asked you this; but will there be a more somewhat informative episode of Robin's past? Because i was just curious since you've done it with some of the others
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Drake Jennings writes...
Hey Greg,
As more characters join the team, will they be added into the opening alongside the main six?
Greg responds...
It depends on the format of the new DC NATION block.
Drake writes...
Hey Greg,
Re-watched Targets and I noticed something when Artemis got her last arrow from the souvenir collection.
1. Why is the bookshelf with Wally's mission souvenirs pretty much empty except for that one shelf? Will the entire bookshelf eventually be filled with souvenirs.
Greg responds...
I think you're referring to 'Homefront' (not 'Targets'), correct?
1. Assuming the Team survives, yes.
Green Light's Nightlight writes...
I don't believe this has been asked before.
Billy Batson is 10, but what is the adult "age" of Captain Marvel when compared to the former's?
Greg responds...
Approximately twenty-four, i.e. that's the guideline I gave Phil Bourassa when he set about designing the character. But of course, it's just a number. It's got no chronological relevance.
Tupka writes...
Two questions about the comic #10 - a lovely twist on the old series, by the way:
* Captain Atom can revert to a human form. Since "Nathaniel Adams" has been dead for 43 years, does he use another alias (Cameron Scott?).
* Cap is technically 71, but had (through some NO COMMENT event) in 1968. Does he age, or is "Cameron Scott" 28 for the rest of his life?
* The issue mentions "to be continued" at the end, but the solicits for the upcoming issues (#11-#13) make no reference to this storyline. Will this be dealt with in the comics after #14 or in the TV series? I can understand if this is NO COMMENT territory, just curious.
Greg responds...
1. Candidly, yes. Though nothing is canon until or unless it's established in the show or the comic.
2. Captain Atom is chronologically 70 in the year that the series is set. Whether or not he ages, is as yet unclear. He hasn't been back long enough to be sure.
3. We will eventually come back to this storyline in the comics...
Mel Cel writes...
Hi there! First and foremost, thanks so much for creating this show (and everyone else who worked on it). It was the main trigger that set me down the path of the animation industry. Loving it!
Q1: Are the gargoyles truly natives to planet earth?
Q2: What have they evolved from, and do they have their own version of 'Adam & Eve'?
Q3: (Continuation of Q2) Did their race's stone sleep originated from there on? how and why (spell/curse)?
Q4: How do female gargoyles retain their ability to nurse their young, considering that their young would only hatch a decade later?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. There's been much discussion about this, particularly at Gatherings-past. I'd recommend checking the 'Gargoyle Biology' archive here at ASK GREG and/or raising the question in the Station 8 Comment Room. (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment/index.php) A number of people there have theories on this topic.
3. It evolved. It's natural. Not a curse/spell.
4. Their biological clocks are designed to accommodate this.

I'm sorry if this comes across as too harsh; it isn't my intent. My question is about the tie-in comics. I'm a bit concerned with Artemis' portrayal--namely, the fact that she's usually colored with blue eyes and much more "peaches and cream" skin tone than she has on the show. I know it probably won't be possible for already completed issues, but is there any chance of correcting this in the future? As much as I enjoy the comic and want to support the show, I'm not comfortable with what could be misconstrued as whitewashing one of the few Asian superheroes. I don't believe there's any real intent to do that, since the colorist has probably never watched the show and just assumed that the blonde girl would be a blue-eyed Caucasian, but it's a bit distracting and it's beginning to impair my enjoyment of the book.
Again, I don't want this to sound accusatory, and I have a great deal of respect for everyone who works on the show. I'm just a bit dismayed by this, because a lot of fans don't seem to realize that Artemis is half-Vietnamese: the vast majority of fanart also gives her blue eyes and Caucasian skin tone and facial features.
Thanks again for reading this, and I look forward to all future installments of Young Justice. :)
Greg responds...
We are in fact making an effort to correct this. I'll take the blame for this. I review all color, but I sometimes do it on a relatively small screen and the eye-color errors slipped past me. But please know that no one was ever trying to 'white-wash' the character. Mistakes do happen, but there was no 'intent' behind them. They're just mistakes. Apologies.

Why is Zatanna's designation A03 and who are A01 and A02?
Greg responds...
She's A-03, because she's the third person to receive the A designation.
As for A-01 and A-02 - ASKED AND ANSWERED.

Hey greg! It's me again. Thanks for approving my last question, I realy appriciate it! Anyways, I have more questions for you about the spectacular spiderman, not to annoy you with these kind of questions. Anyways, here it goes. Question 1: Has sombody ever made an animated movie of spiderman after they finished the series it was from? Question 2: Could it have been possible to make a movie of the spectacular spiderman after it was cancled, just to finish off the series? Question 3: Could it still be possible to make a finishing movie, even though you don't have the rights to it anymore? Thanks for your time, Michael.
Greg responds...
1. I don't think so.
2. Well, anything's possible - and I certainly would have been willing - but it didn't happen.
3. It seems highly unlikely.

1.Does Superboy draw his powers from Earths yellow sun like Superman?
2.What does Martion Manhunter think of Superboy?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. I'll leave that to the viewer's interpretation, I think.

Wasn't the motherboxxx in possesion of mr. miracle? Or are there multiple motherboxxxes? Also, does this mean there will be adventures to Apokolips or a visit from Darkseid?
Greg responds...
There are multiple motherboxes.

Hi Greg! Great work on the Young Justice show. I noticed that Icon and rocket were included in an episode, making their first animated appearance. Just a quick question: What are Icon's powers in this show and will he be voiced and play a plot-centric part in a future episode? Oh and I hope Rocket doesn't have ANY kids in the show lol.
Greg responds...
Icon's powers include (but may not be limited to) enhanced strength, invulnerability, flight and the ability to fire pulse blasts.

Greg, I've got another YJ question regarding guns, but hey it's a lot better than asking spoiler requests:
For the episode "Secrets", when it came drawing guns for the NYPD, did you actually went on their website to see what guns they used? The guns they used in that episode look similar to Smith & Wesson 5946s and Sig Sauer Model P226s.
Greg responds...
No, I did not. I don't know if someone else did or not. I will admit to knowing very little on the topic.
