1. He was a runaway.
2. Yes.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I would imagine Wally and Jade (Cheshire) have had a little contact because she is Artemis' sister. How do they get along?
Greg responds...
Cautiously on his part. With amusement on hers.

Dear Greg,
Saw Complications, & dang! First off, I liked Slade getting more development, ever the schemer. And Megan was amazing this episode, single-handedly masterminding her escape & possibly gaining two new allies in the op. And man I'm happy to see Kal back to normal. But what I'm intrigued by was the end, when Dick used his detective skills to realize Scarab & B'arrzz. Man do I pity them when he gets a plan together.
Pass on my praise & I eagerly await the next episode!
Greg responds...
Thanks! Hope you liked it!

Hi. I realize that the companion comic book has been cancelled. Is there a possibility of some sort of a re-launch under a different title? It would give you a chance to tie up loose threads, and there might be a larger audience for it now that the show has been cancelled.
Greg responds...
That was my thinking when Chris Jones and I pitched doing a book entitled "EARTH-16", but DC said it didn't fit their plans. Oh, well.

Even though at first Bart was only interested in Blue Beetle because of his part in the Reach apocalypse, did he genuinely grow attached to Jaime? Or was that all part of him keeping a close eye on Blue Beetle to prevent a disastrous future?
Greg responds...
I think it's clear that they are legitimately friends.

O I forgot about another question I had: What is Martian Manhunter's new human biological age equivalent in 2016? We know Miss Martian's was 16 in 2010 and 18 in 2016, but for Martian Manhunter we do not know. (I am one of the frequent editors on the YJ wiki).
Greg responds...
For all Martians, I take chronological age and divide by three and then I round up or down to the nearest whole number. I figure you can do the same.
Chris writes...
I just wanted to say how much I like this show. You and the people working on this show have created a well structured, interesting story. I hope you get that chance to continue on to a season three.
As far as question, are Bart's parents alive in his time line?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

First of all, let me say that I am a big fan of you show YJ and I loved TSS while it was on. Watching season 2 I noticed the sheer amount of characters that are now on the show that you juggle. I read an interview in which you mentioned that the core 6 characters from season 1 are your main characters. But that doesn't really seem the case. Wally, for example, doesn't even seem a supporting character since he's almost completely MIA this season. Did you make a conscious decision from the beginning to shift focus away from the original characters or did the story just shape that way while you were writing it.
Another question regarding story, even though Wally is retired, wouldn't he come out of retirement when the world was threatened with destruction by Mongul in 'War'.
Greg responds...
1. ASKED AND ANSWERED. Here mostly: http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/youngjustice/backstage/interview12.php
The World's Finest: I personally believe that, even with the growth of the cast in the second season, Young Justice is still about the original core team introduced at the start of the first season. Would that be a correct statement to make?
Greg Weisman: Not exactly. I would say that the original core Team was more of a priority than some of the new characters. But fundamentally the second season was plot-driven. I don't think we sacrificed character, but characterization would have to come on the fly in service of the larger story. Season One was about us weaving a tapestry to introduce world, characters, conflicts, etc. Season Two had a single driving story (on multiple fronts) and the characters that have been emphasized - or at any rate received the most screen time - were the ones that the story required. So early in Season Two, you see more of Superboy - but less of him in the second half. On the other hand, Artemis barely appeared in the first half-dozen episodes, but her role became quite important, starting in episode 207 and forward. Blue Beetle, as a creation of the Reach, was obviously going to increase in importance as the season progressed and more and more of that connection and its accompanying dilemma were revealed. And because we only had 20 episodes in Season Two, rather than the 26 we had in Season One, I think it's fair to say that certain characters got shorter shrift than others. But the goal was never to give everyone equal time, but rather to make the most of what time we had to offer. I suppose one could make the argument that certain characters didn't need to appear at all, i.e. the fewer the characters, the more screen time there would be for those that made the cut. But (a) I'm not sure the audience would all agree on exactly who should make that cut, and (b) we had fun with every single character for as much or as little time as we could afford to give them. (I wouldn't choose to cut Wonder Girl just because her only big episode was "Beneath".) So instead, we just tried to be true to our continuity and introduce the characters that we felt would be there five years on. If some of those Freshmen - and even some of our Juniors and Seniors - didn't receive equal time with everyone else, I can live with that.
2. ASKED AND ANSWERED. Who said he didn't? Lots of heroes were helping with the destruction caused by the Warworld's mere proximity to Earth. And if Dick had wanted him to join the Team for the raid on the Warworld, he would have come along too. But Dick didn't ask.
EXALT writes...
So, about Complications (which was an AWESOME episode, by the way)...
1)How did Crusher and Jade manage to find the Manta-Flyer?
2)Sportsmaster calls Deathstroke by his first name: does this mean that they are old friends/old partners/old something?
3)Speaking of Deathstroke, can you confirm that his full name is Slade Wilson?
4)How old is Deathstroke?
5)(This isn't directly tied in with the episode, but hey, since I'm here) How many years ago Aquaman and Manta fought for the first time?
Greg responds...
1. Sportsmaster had contingencies in place before he risked any split with the Light.
2. "Friends" might be pushing it, but they've clearly worked together before. Just ask Ted Kord. (Ooh, sorry.)
3. Yes.
4. By the end of Season ONE, Deathstroke was 47.
5. I have not nailed down a specific year for that yet, but it was LONGER ago than the conception of Kaldur'ahm.

When Miss Martian was wearing the inhibitor collar on Black Manta's sub, why didn't she revert to her White Martian form?
Greg responds...
Her shape-changing abilities had been shut down by the collar. She was locked in to her current form.
