Why did Queen Bee kill Marie? Was it revenge on Miss Martian for betraying her?

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

You mentioned that Wonder Woman became a superhero in 1941, when she was 16 years old. As Pinja said, that's no older than the physiologically oldest members of the Team (in 2011). At that age, I don't think that that many people would have taken her seriously enough to call her a "woman". So was "Wonder Woman" her first superhero name or did she start her superhero career being called "Wonder Girl"?

Greg responds...

It's an appealing notion, but I think it more likely that she was dubbed "Wonder Woman" by the press. Perhaps the first photo of her was taken at a distance, and they didn't realize how old she was or wasn't. (She is an Amazon, and was tall for her age.)

In the episode Alienated Catherine says: "And finally, we have the four surviving host bodies used by a race of alien energy beings, known as the Appelaxians, who attempted to conquer the Earth. Of course, the attack also brought together Earth's mightiest heroes to form the Justice League."

"Earths Mightiest Heroes" Is a tagline used by Marvel's Avengers. Is there a reason you chose to put it in, or was it just a coincidence? :)

Greg responds...

It's an inside joke. A wink. A nod.

Can Parasite absorb Red Tornado's power, or is he restricted to organic beings?

Greg responds...

Hmmm...

I'd think organic only. But I honestly hadn't considered it until this second.

Superboy is sexy writes...

When Superboy was being "educated", was there any anti-gay stuff being "taught" to him? Such as, if Miss Martian was never introduced, would Superboy have been attracted to, say Kid Flash?

Greg responds...

There wasn't any "anti-gay" stuff. But Superboy's not gay, so, no.

I don't for a second believe that one's sexual orientation has anything to do with "education".

Hi Greg! Just want to say that I LOVE all of your work!
And now, a question about Miss. Martian: After usual suspects, I understand that she would want to keep her human form, but why does she stay green? Wouldn't she perhaps change her skin tone to white to take pride in her alien origins? I hope this doesn't come off as a criticism or a suggestion, I'm just quite curious.
Once again, love all of your shows and I'm really excited to see the next episode of Young Justice!

Greg responds...

That's not where she is.

In the end of the Season One finale, Superman finally decided to accept Superboy and started the "father/son" relationship by telling Superboy his own secret identity as Clark Kent. Five years later, in Season Two, Superman and
Superboy's relationship has grown to the point where they treat each other like brothers instead of father and son. As their relationship strengthened during the five-year gap, has Superman told Superboy everything about himself?

Greg responds...

"Everything" is a big world, but most of everything, certainly.

I have a whole slew of questions about Zeta-Beam transport. I doubt I can bring it down to five...

1. Why do the Cave and the Watchtower have two portals next to each other? Also, the Cave has two portals, and the Watchtower at least three. Is this for logistic reasons, or does the Watchtower have no elevators?
2. What's the maximum capacity of a tube? On multiple occasions, three people entered at the same time. Could the entire League fit, or is that why there's two portals next to each other?
3. Because we'll possibly never definitively learn with the time skip, and the comics won't reach December for another two years: was Rocket's designation B09?
4. In Misplaced, Billy had to speak an override code before being scanned, but on all other instances (the phone booth, the TARDIS, the main portals) the computer scanned people as soon as they were in range. What if a stranger entered the booth, would he/she be scanned?
5. Is the Manhattan portal under the bridge in "Secrets" only an exit? It doesn't look practical for an entrance.

Greg responds...

1. Why do some buildings have multiple elevators? To handle the traffic.

1a. The Watchtower has elevators.

2. I'm sure there's a limit. It also has to do with the number of destinations.

3. Yes. (Which I'm NOT revealing here. It was already revealed in the comics.)

4. Scans take place automatically, silently and without any visible sign that they are taking place. If the computer doesn't recognize the subject (as with Billy in "Misplaced") it says nothing, unless a code is spoken, asking for a follow-up scan.

5. It's both.

Sandman writes...

1. Is the show's Sandman based on the Golden Age version of a Bruce Wayne-lookalike, or the Sandman Mystery Theatre-version of a bespectacled investment banker?
2. What year was he born, does he still live, and if not, when did he die?
3. Did Sandy the Golden Boy (or any of the Golden Age sidekicks) exist, or was Robin truly the first kid sidekick?

Greg responds...

1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

2a. 1914.

2b and c. SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT.

3. SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for Lian. Her fate in the mainstream comics is one of the things that made me stop reading the mainstream DC books....her appearance was a touching surprise. Thank you.

A simple question re the "Golem" from Salvage. Was it suppose to be a homage to Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man?

It was a homage to the Appellaxian Golems.

Hi, Greg, quick question. As season two goes on, i can't help but notice Megan's radically different personality. She's no longer the slightly naive Hello Megan fangirl, and is instead alot darker, thinking nothing of labotimizing others for her own gain.
First of all, why does no one call her out on it. Martian Manhunter was right there, telepathically linked the guy to boot.
Second, does her self-acceptance have something to do with this? In season one we see her afraid of having the others see her as a monster, but, now that she knows she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, is she now turning into one?
If I see you've answered this, then thanks a ton! If you don't, well, do it anyway ;). Thanks!

Greg responds...

First of all, if you look carefully, you'll see that Manhunter had severed his link just before Miss Martian did her thing.

Second, I'll leave to your interpretation.

Greg just want to start off by saying i love young justice and gargoyles and i still watch some gargoyles to this day. My question is why did the writers primarily decide to make Superboy and Miss Martian the only characters that really get focus and are in every episode?
In season 1 once in a while Aqualad or Artemis would get an episode even Wally but Wally and robin barely did anything. Now we skip into season 2 and Wally is retired and Grayson is team leader but only seems to make cameo apperances. You mentioned season 3 if it happens will have another time skip i assume Nightwing will probably be gone but i was just hoping that the guy would actually have important story lines before he is gone. The other character also i feel should get some type of importance it feels like the Superboy/Miss Martian and friends show.

Greg responds...

I don't buy into the premise of your question. Even a little.

First of all i just wanted to say... great first season and even better second season. Young Justice is the favorite in my household and its one of few shows that holds my two year old attention for its entirety. My question is, whether it be the month or the quarter, when would you hope to get word on a third season for YJ? I can't imagine that this show would not be on for years to come.

Greg responds...

There's no set time when they make these decisions.

Since you have confirmed the ice villains involvment in the Ice Fortress incident, I must ask you...
1) Who was on Ice Fortress-1?
2) Who was on Ice Fortress-2?
3) Who was on Ice Fortress-3?
4) Who was on Ice Fortress-4?
5) Who was on Ice Fortress-5?

Greg responds...

If you're asking which ice villain was on which Fortress, my answer is... "Yeah, I don't care. Knock yourself out."

ern writes...

I'm curious but does the possibilities for third season look bleak? Or does discussions for the future of Young Justice sound encouraging? Just wondering as I hope that this show goes beyond season 2.

And finally, if the show gets cancelled, do you plan to continue where Invasion left off in some other form of media? Like a webseries or a comic book? Perhaps maybe on another network. Thank you so much. I'm a huge fan of Young Justice =)

Greg responds...

None of this stuff is up to me. The comic book is - at least for now - ongoing. The series is too. We haven't even aired half of the second season yet. Beyond that, we'll have to wait and see...

I have another Blue Devil related question for you Greg. Blue Devil was considered for membership by the League, but did not join (at least not before the time skip). Why did the Justice League decide not to invite him? It's clear why Guy Gardner and the members of The Team weren't invited, but for what reason did they pass on Blue Devil? Was it because he was too inexperienced, or because none of the Justice League members knew him very well? Or was Blue Devil invited after all, but he declined to join? It would be very in character for him if he did decline.

Greg responds...

I think they felt - at that time, that he was too inexperienced. Later, I think he declined.

Your comments regarding Megan's ethnicity are very interesting. Do you see her feeling towards her green martian form are more in alignment with how a post op transexual feels about their new body?(I.E This was always who she was) Or do you think it's more alignment with some very dark skinned women bleaching their skin because they feel unattractive by western ideas of beauty? It seems like you could go either way here.

Greg responds...

It seems you could. But I don't think Green or White skin is the point. I think her human Megan Wheeler inspired form is the point.

So, out of curiosity. When Demona and Thailog were living in Paris, where was Demona living? We know Thailog was living at Notre Dame (although, I assume that after Sanctuary, they didn't go back). But was Demona living there as Dominique when she wasn't out seducing Macbeth into marriage?

Greg responds...

I'm sure she had a flat.

Something i've been curious about in 119 when Batman freed himself from Thorn's vines as he lands we see Faust launching energy blasts at someone off screen so was he still fighting Red Tornado, or had that fire blast he used at the beginning of the fight already knocked him out?

Greg responds...

From memory, I think he was still fighting Tornado.
