hi, first i wanted to tell you that i love young justice.
but i had a question about the terms meta gene and meta human. i learn greek at school (old greek). and i learned the word μετα (sounds like meta). it means "with" or "before". and i was wondering, does this has to do something with the terms "meta human" and "meta gene" in young justice?

Greg responds...

I honestly don't know. These were both existing DC Universe terms that we brought into the series from the comics. It's a really good question though. When I think of the term meta-fiction, it certainly means something entirely different to me than the way DC (and we) have been using meta. I don't know who came up with the term in the first place, but I wonder if they weren't confusing meta- with mega- or something. But maybe I'm missing something.
