So far in the Young Justice series, Superman's only weakness as we've seen thus far is exposure to green Kryptonite. What other weaknesses does Superman have which haven't been shown but can be confirmed for sure in Earth-16 continuity? And would those same weaknesses affect Superboy in a similar manner (considering he's half human as it is shown that green kryptonite hurts him on somewhat of a reduced level)?
Greg responds...
I've never understood where people got the notion that Superboy was less effected by the Kryptonite. I've seen that sequence over and over, and I just don't get it.
Anyway, Superman and Superboy don't have any other specific weaknesses that I can think of. But in general, our versions of both characters are not as all-powerful as other versions have been. So lots of things can hurt them.
Superman has fairly massive (how should I put this), um, 'ultimate invulnerability', i.e. ultimately there's not a lot - besides Kryptonite - that can do a lot of permanent damage to the guy. I think the best example is the bomb that destroyed Malina Island. It hurt him, knocked him unconscious, but ultimately he was physically fine.
Superboy is not quite as tough. I can't seem him surviving that blast at point blank range the way Superman did. But as we've seen time and time again, though there's plenty that can knock him down and/or out, there isn't much he can't walk away from ultimately.

How far in her pregnancy is Iris as of Bloodlines?
Greg responds...
Very unfar. She missed one period by enough days to take a pregnancy test.

Hi Greg i'm a HUGE young justice fan, I was wondering if there is any specific reason Artemis cut her hair in season 2?
Greg responds...
Um, split ends?
Look, it's been five years, in that amount of time, folks occasionally want a change.

What are Shimmer and Mammoth's real names?
Greg responds...
Look 'em up on Wikipedia.
Batwing Forever writes...
I'm glad to see that the comics will be addressing another major family in the DC Comics continuity. So now we have the Flash Fam and the Arrow Fam getting some love.
But what about the BAT FAMILY??? They've been practically ignored for most of the series, with the focus being so much on building the romance and shining some light on the Light (no other way to phrase that, sorry). I can't help but feel that they're not getting the attention they deserve, especially since we got cheated out (AGAIN) of the all important evolution of Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing. I do hope that at least the comics or the upcoming Legacy game will give these amazing characters the love they deserve.
Greg responds...
Wow, I love that you feel 'cheated'. No entitlement issues there.
We feel we've given love to everyone. If you're a big fan of any single aspect of the show, that aspect can NEVER get enough love, am I right?
But, given enough issues and/or episodes, I have plenty of Bat-Love to give.

Do you/did you like Barbara Gordon better as Batgirl or Oracle in the comics?
Did you like Dick Grayson better with Batgirl or Starfire?
I'm just curious.
Greg responds...
Feels like answering these questions would amount to SPOILERS.
Jazzy Jazz Aqualad Fan writes...
Hi , I just forgot to ask about Rocket and Aqualad.. I mean i would like to know what happened because i have a feeling that it will not be mentioned in the show.. Poor Kaldur never gets any love but i trust you have something planned for him and i love the show!!
Greg responds...
Rocket and Aqualad went out for a little while, but it didn't stick. As to any plans we may or may not have: SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Lorisa214 writes...
Was that Lois Lane in the first episode of season 2 around the end? She was the first the swim to the surface after the explosion?
Greg responds...
No. Perhaps you're thinking of Noor Harjavti?
Marvelman writes...
1) Are Aqualad's electric charges a natural ability, or do they come from his suit?
2) Are the charges magic-based? Is that why Aqualad took Superboy down so easily in "Alienated"? Or, do they just go beyond what SB's invulnerability can withstand?
3) While we're on the subject, does Connor share Superman's vulnerability to magic?
4) I know this is outside of your control, but do you have any insight into why Cartoon Network always seems so secretive about when new episodes will air? For example, why would it be so hard for them to put out a press statement saying: Young Justice is going on hiatus but will return sometime in Fall 2012?
5) What's going to happen next? (joking)
Greg responds...
1. Neither. They're sorcerous and come from a combination of his training and his mystic dermal icons.
2a. Yes.
2b. Perhaps a little of each.
3. Let me put it this way: the Earth-16 Superman shares EVERYBODY's vulnerability to magic. Neither he nor Superboy are specially vulnerable.
4. I don't know.
5. Reruns on Boomerang and new issues of the comic for the time being.

Does La'gaan ever give M'gann the respect she deserves by calling her by her given name? The fact that he's always calls her "angelfish" makes me think that he views her as a possession rather than a human being (well, a Martian, but hopefully you get my point).
I hopes he's not the typical rebound guy who acts like a jerk. Because, right now, I'm wondering if it was your intention to make La'gaan as unlikeable as possible to the fans.
Greg responds...
Gee, that seems like a truly odd interpretation of that particular habit.
First off, La'gaan has and does call her M'gann sometimes. So... pay attention.
Second, "Angelfish" is a TERM OF ENDEARMENT. She likes it. This notion that it means he views her as a "possession" - well, frankly, I don't even understand the logic of that. How does that follow? I have a pet name for my wife - which in private I use interchangeably with her given name - and I can say with real confidence that she feels it brings us closer, because it's something personal we share.
Feels to me like you're REACHING for reasons not to like Lagoon Boy. It's perfectly legit not to care for him, but there's no need to invent reasons.

Does Sportsmaster have a favorite daughter?
Greg responds...
No. He may think that Jade has slightly more common sense, but let's give him credit for this much as a parent: he holds both his offspring in equal measure of adoration. (That is, pretty much none.)
JAC writes...
Sorry for the multiple posts in a row...I would have put this question in with the first, but the rules say to make seperate posts for differant topics (but I swear this is the last one for today) so here goes:
What was the reasoning behind not giving Artemis the "Tigress" persona, whether or not she eventually becomes a villianess...
Was it to keep at least one thing true to her origional character? Brcause that was her name when you wrote about her and you dont like other peoples ideas? You just like the name better? Other reason?
Personally, I usually detest the idea of writers making hero monikers rxactly the same or similar to given names...but im also a HUGE Greek mythology buff, so I dont mind it much this time, im just curious about your (was it your...?) decision.
Thank you for all of your time spent.
Greg responds...
By now, I assume your question is moot.
JAC writes...
I didnt include these questions in my last post, lest the entire thing get deleted again, as they may encroach "spoiler reqest" territory maby a smidge further...
1. WAS there an origional "James" Harper? (its establised that hes a clone, but not of whome).
2. Did he (Guardian) ever find out who he was really working for?
3. Are he and Dublex still in contact?
Thanks again.
Greg responds...
1. There was. But OUR Jim Harper is a clone of Jim's descendent Roy Harper, not of the original Jim Harper.
2. Yes.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
YJ Fan writes...
Why do you guys just love to kill Artemis and bring her back?
Greg responds...
You make it sound like she's the only one we've done that to.
Wendy writes...
Weird question but:
Did Artemis lose her "abs" over the 5 year time-skip? Her original character design had two lines on her abdomen to indicate abs, but they weren't present in Depths. Was this intentional?
Greg responds...
You'd have to ask character designer Phil Bourassa.
Anonymous writes...
Does Black Manta have any feelings about Kaldur being named after his stepfather?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Anonymous writes...
1.Near the end of Depths we see the current team and Zatanna and Rocket at the cave grieving over the death of Artemis. Can you tell us who on the current team knew Artemis?
2. What are Wally and Artemis studying at college?
3. Was Artemis a known sidekick during the 5 year time gap to the public? I'm just wondering because Superboy didn't appear to be in Salvage to the guard.
Greg responds...
1. They all did. Not necessarily as Teammates, but they've ALL socialized.
2. I think Wally's double majoring in Physics and Chemistry (or something like that). I like to think Artemis is majoring in Comparative Literature. But Brandon and I have not discussed any of this, and I wouldn't want to commit without conferring with him.
3. No, to your question, but I really don't understand your "because..." statement at all.
Marvelman writes...
Did you have Beatrice and Benedict in mind when you created the Wally-Artemis dynamic?
Greg responds...
Shrug. I suppose it'd be cool to answer yes, but the truth is - and I'm not pretending otherwise - it's a pretty common trope, and mostly what we had in mind was Wally and Artemis and tracking how they'd react as individuals.
JustAFan writes...
I'm a huge fan of Young Justice, and the last episode, Depths, is definnitely my favorite episode this season, and possibly my favorite overall. However, there were a few things that weren't quite clear to me.
1. When Artemis "dies", Superboy says he can't hear her heart beating. Artemis' heart was obviously still beating though, so how was it that Superboy couldn't hear it?
2. Why does Wally know all the details of Nightwing, Kaldur, and Artemis' undercover mission? I know he's one of Nightwing and Kaldur's oldest friends and Artemis' boyfriend, but it doesn't really seem necessary for him to know everything, especially with the rest of the Team and the League still in the dark.
Greg responds...
1. Her heart was greatly slowed by the Juliet pill she munched down on.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Anonymous writes...
Why did Nightwing preform CPR on Artemis when she appeared to have a stab wound? Superboy, Miss Martian, and even the Black Manta Soldiers didn't seem to think it strange.
Greg responds...
Her heart had stopped.
Gotham enthusiast writes...
Something just hit me. If the featured team was Gamma squad, then what were the other team(s) [members] doing during the mission? [ep. 207 "Depths"]
Greg responds...
Stuff.
A.M. Yankovic writes...
I loved Dick in Depths. I also loved the deep cover angle. It was great that Ms. M wasn't afraid to go down there and really give it to the Manta Men. And she handled that rocket like a pro! I thought the CPR was believable and didn't think Dick was too rough with pumping Artemis' chest. The flashback sequence was great where we're shown that Aqualad wasn't really penetrating Artemis with his sword and that she had something in her mouth that made her heart stop. Bravo, team! ...I'm gonna go take a shower.
Greg responds...
Thanks. It's a bit of a work-out, watching this show, isn't it?
Louissa writes...
Hehe, I forgot to ask something, I mean, Hello, Louisa!*smaks forehead*(it's your fault I can't stop doing this now, you know). Is Krolotean language really a language, or just some random ramblings? Just curious XD
Greg responds...
Out of show, it's mostly sound effects.
Anonymous writes...
Would you say that as of Season 2, Dick and Artemis have a close relationship resembling that of Dick and Donna's in the comics? (By this I mean that they love each other in a platonic way)
Greg responds...
I guess.
Anonymous writes...
First of all, I'd like to say thank you for being part of such a great production. Young Justice is amazing!
Here's my question:
1a) In Depths, why is it that Nightwing chose Artemis for the secret mission?
b) Wouldn't have M'gann been the better choice, as she could change her appearance at will thus cancelling the need to ask Zatanna for a favour which could have compromised the mission?
c) Was it because he and Artemis are closer and he trusts her more?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
1a. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
1b. See above.
c. No.
