hey Greg awesome job on the show. I am really loving how Megan's character is being developed. I love the fact that she isn't as inocent as she made us believe.
I have a questions regarding the episode "earthlings"
1.-Is Adam strange related to Hugo Strange?
thanks for your time
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Derek writes...
I was quite suprised with the implication that Delilah might take Malibu on as her mate, as his mental development would in line with a child right?
Could there be somewhat sinister Demona-eque reason for Delilah remaining with Malibu and the other clones? You've mentioned, or at the very least it's on the wiki that she's the natural leader of the clones given her education. Does Delilah has Demona's urge for power and leadership? It would seem that Malibu would be a far more passive mate than Thailog and no threat to her attaining leadership of their clan. Or am I perhaps judging her too harshly?
Greg responds...
No. Malibu lacks education. There's nothing wrong with his mind. Which renders the rest of your question moot.
Derek writes...
I was looking up the Marvel Gargoyles comic. If you wanted to use to use any of those characters are they considered marvel characters or Gargoyle characters? It's probably a non issue but I am curious. Venus seems like such an obvious character to deserve a parody, although Delilah probably already fills that role.
Greg responds...
I'm not really in the business of parodying Gargoyles' characters. (That's really more of an Edmund Tsabard thing, and even that guy went out of business.)
I don't know what the legalities are, but I'm not to interested in importing non-canon characters into the mix.

Why did the following villains join The Light?
1. Lex Luthor?
2. Queen Bee?
3. Ocean Master?
4. The Brain?
Greg responds...
They were all invited and liked the idea. Don't overthink it.

Greg responds...
Superboy, Miss Martian, Lagoon Boy, Beast Boy, Mal Duncan. (Not sure why I answered that, but...)

Hey Greg,
I know a lot of people consider Gargoyles to be an anti-Disney show due to its dark tone, but I think it actually has a lot of similarities. Both Gargoyles and other Disney films adapt mythology and famous stories in their own ways, while featuring strong emotions and conflicts(okay, those might be a bit general).
My question is, did Disney storytelling have an influence on the making of Gargoyles, and the eventual integration of different mythologies?
Greg responds...
I'm sure it did, since I grew up on Disney movies. But we weren't consciously trying to either DO DISNEY or NOT DO DISNEY. We were just doing GARGOYLES.

Hey Greg,
You mentioned that you received a list of pretty much every teen hero in the DC Universe, from which you and the rest of the creative staff picked the show's line-up. Did you ever, upon learning about a character, think "Wow, what a stinker! This guy is crud. Yeah, we're not using him/her." I'm NOT asking you to name specific characters obviously, but did you ever have that reaction at some point in the process?
Greg responds...
No, that's not what I 'mentioned'. I didn't 'receive' a list. I put the list together myself.
I'm making a big point of this, because I see this happen all the time. I write something, however innocuous. And then like a child's game of telephone it moves through the fandom - on one board or another - and soon enough people are posting (with TREMENDOUS CONFIDENCE, mind you) that they know X is going to happen because "GREG SAID SO." When in fact, I never did. (Heck, sometimes I said literally the opposite.) Trust me, I see this over and over and over again. Sometimes, it's amusing, sometimes annoying, sometimes infuriating.
So I think it behooves us all to STICK TO THE FACTS and to KEEP THE FACTS STRAIGHT.
Now, back to your actual question: there are obviously some characters that are more interesting to me than others. Sometimes because I'm more familiar with them. Sometimes because they suit our needs. Sometimes because they're just flat out cool. And there are always going to be others - in a universe as big as DC's - that don't grab me as much. But there's honestly not one character on our teen hero list that I'd rule out absolutely. As I've said before, if we can make Professor Ojo kinda cool, there's little I'd be afraid to take on with this crew of talented folks on YJ.

Wow! I was watching Young Justice: Invasion episode two and I must say, that was awesome!!!! But what caught me off guard, was when Adom Strange was talking about Alice and wonderland characters, such as the jaberwock and the bandersnatch. (sorry if I misspelled the names) I find it funny how he used that as a distraction. :) Why is it that many DC Universe characters are affiliated with Alice and Wonderland? (Characters such as Artemis and Adam Strange)
Greg responds...
Um... probably my fault. I have a fondness for the works of Lewis Carroll. Not on the level of my Shakespeare obsession, but I'm a fan.
On the other hand, Nicole Dubuc wrote this script, and I honestly can't remember if the Jabberwock stuff was her idea or mine.
Starling writes...
Hi Greg, so far the second season is looking good. for this week's episode, I especially loved that part where Adam was acting like a bit of a nutcase to distract the guards. Special thanks to whoever's idea it was to make that Jabberwok reference and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the season turns out. A while ago, I remember finding a question in which you said the Flying Graysons "accident" happened on April 1st, also known as April fools day. Was there any particular reason for this? I ask because it seems like a strange and deliberate choice to me.
Greg responds...
If there was, I can't remember. It may just have fit in correctly on my timeline, which, if anyone is curious is currently 205 pages long. (And I still haven't had time to update it recently.)

Icon was identified as a type of alien called a Terminan. Beyond that, nothing else is known about him on Earth-16. I wish to ask more about him, but knowing how sensitive your updated guidelines are, I’ll just ask some simple stuff.
a. If Icon has a secret identity, what name is he called by?
b. Being that he is a Terminan, I suspect that Icon must have quite a longevity, but how old is he exactly?
c. Since he currently lives on Earth, what is Icon’s given age under the guise of his secret identity and according to Earth-16’s U.S. government records?
d. What was Icon's purpose for coming to Earth in the first place, assuming there WAS one?
e. In regards to Icon's voice actor, who is well-known in the Final Destination franchise, why was he specifically chosen for this role?
Greg responds...
Icon was not identified as a "Terminan" on our television series. So you don't even know that much about him on Earth-16.
a. Augustus Freeman.
b. Who said he's a "Terminan"?
c. I don't know.
d. Assumes facts not in evidence.
e. I've always admired Tony Todd's voice. But the truth is, voice director Jamie Thomason and I were having lunch at Taste Chicago in Burbank, and we saw him there. That reminded me how I'd always wanted to cast him in something. Then when Icon came up, he seemed perfect. Timing is everything.
