Which characters can you tell us are supporting characters?
Greg responds...
Wow, it's a weird day here at ASK GREG. I don't understand this question either. Supporting characters are, I suppose, by definition, any character that is significant (i.e. not a small bit part) but also not a lead. Deciding who is a lead vs. supporting is often subjective, but is most often based on (a) who has an important emotional arc in a story and (b) to a certain extent, screen time.
So given all that, why do you need me to create a long list of who the supporting characters are? What am I going to tell you that you can't figure out yourself?
I suppose an easier task is listing who I perceive to be the leads this season. So, I'd say the only true leads for the entire season are probably Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, Nightwing and Blue Beetle.
All others, I guess, are supporting players when perceiving the season as a whole, though in individual episodes one or more might have a significant role to play - and even be the lead of that episode. For example, Robin in "Happy New Year", Wonder Girl in "Beneath" or Arsenal in "Satisfaction", etc. Others are always only supporting players.
If that helps any. (None of this is an exact science.)
But as I've said before, the characters used (and the amount of screen time they received) this season were based entirely on STORY. In contrast to Season One, YJ:I was, by design, a STORY-DRIVEN season.

Did M'gaan's usage of her powers cause tension with anyone on the team other than Conner?
Greg responds...
No, because they were unaware that she was abusing those powers.

You said that Raquel and Kaldur dated for a little while, but it didn't stick. Was it because Tula was possibly involved in their relationship? It seemed he was still in love with her (according to Wally during his confrontation with Nightwing at the Hall of Justice) Or was it just because their relationship lost spark?
Greg responds...
It depends what you mean by "involved," I guess. Tula was with Garth during that period. Beyond that, it's a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

How did Green Arrow react when Artemis and Wally started dating?
How did Flash react when Artemis and Wally started dating?
Greg responds...
I'm sure both of them were fine with it. Two nice kids start dating? Who'd complain? (Or am I missing something?)

I have a question.
Did wearing the inhibitor collar affect Bart's metabolism in any way? Like, did the collar neutralizing his speed tone down his hyper metabolism so it would function like that of a normal person's?
Greg responds...
I would think so, but I haven't thought about the ramifications of all that.

Was Kaldur's conception consenual?
Greg responds...
His conception? Or the intercourse that led to it?
Dick Grayson Fan writes...
Dear Greg, we are introduced to the everyday hero life, but what do the characters work or do as civilians? For example, does Dick Grayson have a job besides Nightwing?
If so what is his job? Also does he still go to school or not?If yes which university? None of these are spoilers so please respond.
Greg responds...
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
And, for the record, I decide what's a spoiler and what's not. Not you.

1- Why didn't Sphere attack Aqualad when he infiltrated Mount Justice?
2 - How old is Ripley, the female guard with glasses from "Terrors"?
3 - How old is Banks, the guard from "Terrors"?
4 - How old is Riker, the guard from "Terrors"?
5 - How old is Cooper, the guard from "Terrors"?
Greg responds...
1. She didn't recognize him as hostile.
2. No clue.
3. No clue.
4. No clue.
5. Your guess is as good as mine.

Good evening Mr Weisman
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful series of Young Justice, it is quiet rare for me to enjoy a series much less become so absorbed by the characters. I usually stick to my books. I have been a fan of The Batfamily for a while now and think the way your take on the characters are amazing. I love how Dick has matured into the adult he is and how Tim is quiet, I have read a few of the other questions about how quiet Tim is but to be honest I like that he is as he strikes me as the think before I talk kind of person. I was so incredibly happy when Jason was mentioned as not many shows do that so for me that was a huge bonus. I must admit in the first season Fireworks when Robin said 'Pass! Batcave's crowded enough.' I was already picturing Tim and Jason there.
I do have two questions for you and if they are spoilers I am very sorry.
1) Why are there no finger stripes on the Nightwing suit? I know many shows don't do them anymore but I was wondering why. Are they impractical or did you just not want to add them?
2) Did Barbara always know that Dick was Robin or did she find out after she became Batgirl? If that is a spoiler then
I am sorry.
Greg responds...
1. That's really a question for Phil Bourassa.
2. She didn't ALWAYS know.

Followup question from a few months ago -- I asked: "Okay, so the League definitely knows that Lex Luthor is a member of the Light at this point. So how's he getting away with openly running a major corporation?" You answered: "How do they stop him?"
To which I suggest: Violence (a la Arsenal)? Sabotage? Leveraged takeovers? Filing with the SEC? Large-scale theft of office supplies?
Right, yes, being a bit silly here, obviously. (just a bit.) And superheroes don't go beyond the law, of course (well, err, past the whole being-vigilantes thing). Still - just curious as to how Luthor has managed to pull off his whole villain-with-good-publicity schtick. And why hasn't Batman and/or the team tried hitting Luthor's bottom line at some point? Wouldn't it make sense strategically, given that they're the League's dirty-business department?
Greg responds...
Again, I ask "How"?
Look, you're assuming they're doing nothing, which is not a safe assumption. We aren't depicting the "ALL-ENCOMPASSING ADVENTURES OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE" on our series. We're showing you the "SELECTED ADVENTURES OF THE TEAM". We're telling a specific story. Not even pretending to cover every facet of Earth-16, although believe me, given enough episodes or issues or WHATEVER, I'd love to try.
