You've previously stated that Kid Flash is a Harry Potter fan. But after his doing-everything-in-his-power-to-deny-magic bit in Denial, it seems strange that he would read a book about a teenaged wizard. And the quote that led to the HP fan question was in the same episode. I don't know. Something there just doesn't connect in this screwed-up brain of mine. Does he read it to laugh at the 'stupidity' of it? Or just for the entertainment value?

Thanks. Loving Invasion, by the way. Cornered was amazing.

Greg responds...

Kid Flash has/had nothing against the portrayal of magic as FICTION. That was his whole point. IT'S FICTION. He may not think STAR WARS literally happened either, but that doesn't mean he's not a fan.

I mean do you believe in everything YOU enjoy as fiction?

Mr. Greg Weisman,

I don't know if anyone else asked this question before or not, but I didn't realize that I should've asked this question sooner.

After the real Roy was found in Tibet and after the events of "Satisfaction", did Clone Roy ever rejoined the Justice League and worked himself back into shape?

Thanks,
CGYJ

Greg responds...

He's getting back in shape, but officially he's still on a leave of absence from the League.

What keeps the Justice League from arresting Lex Luthor or Queen Bee, who they definately know are light members from the team? And why haven't they gone public about the Light's description

Greg responds...

"description"? What does that mean?

Anyway, you need this little thing called EVIDENCE to arrest someone.

Heck, for Queen Bee you'd also need JURISDICTION.

I hope we see more of Black Beetle. Boy he has to be one of the most badass villains I have ever seen. Great job! Despero seemed very reticent and not much of a personality but L-Ron was brilliant! I laughed. Loved him. Oh and that Megan and Conner relationship? Their drama just is getting annoying now. I can't even feel sorry for them. Poor Lagoon Boy.

Greg responds...

Um. Thanks?

red tornado was a member of the all star squadron?

Greg responds...

No. The All-Star Squadron was disbanded by the time Red Tornado was created.

Does G. Gordon Godfrey have any strong ideological problems with the Justice League or does he just rip on them for sensationalism?

Greg responds...

Neither. It's strategy.

Mr. Weisman, in Cornered, why was Captain Atom so ineffective debating with the Reach Ambassador, and why was the UN Secretary-General so completely willing to believe whatever he was told by the Reach? I mean, the Reach kidnapped a number of young people from many different places, all of whom were probably reported missing to the authorities. They're obviously traumatized, and the experiments that they were subjected to clearly left measurable changes in their physiologies. When all of these missing kids suddenly show up, testify against the Reach, and begin demonstrating metahuman powers that they didn't have before, how does the Reach Ambassador manage to negate all of that by waving his hand and dismissing them as impressionable groupies? Also, were none of team able to get any records (visual, audio, etc.) of the rescue itself? Wouldn't they have wanted to acquire as much information as possible on that mission, both for careful analysis later and in order to reveal the hidden threat? It just seems to me that the League should have everything they need to prove the Reach's ill-intentions. Thank you.

Greg responds...

You've got some assumptions wrong.

Ninety-nine percent of the children that were abducted were runaways, kids that either wouldn't be missed or whose disappearances could be easily explained otherwise.

THEN most of those captives are dead. There's no one to testify to the experiments besides, Virgil, Tye, Asami, Eduardo and Nate. And Nate doesn't remember anything. And the point that the Ambassador was making is that the four who could testify could be shown to be biased in favor of the heroes.

In addition, Tseng knew (from personal experience) about alien abductions BY THE KROLOTEANS. So the Ambassador's claim that Captain Atom was confusing the two was certainly plausible. Even if it could be proved that the kids had powers (which wasn't yet obvious at the time of the U.N. meeting you're discussing), the blame could be shifted rather easily to the KNOWN abductors.

As for the rest of your comments, ultimately you're entitled to your opinion. But I'm satisfied with what we portrayed.

What's your reason to change Virgil backstory ?

Greg responds...

To fit our continuity.

Hi Greg! I loved Cornered, and the character interactions were great. I especially loved the subtle character development of the scarab, seeing Billy Batson again, and Mal becoming Guardian (the haminess was perfect!) Combined with how slick and manipulative the Ambassador is, along with the reveal at the end... well, I cannot think about anything but next week's episode!

Now, on to my questions:

1) Does the scarab dissolve and reform Jaime's clothes like in the comics? I ask because his pants and hoodies he wears don't seem like they'd fit under the armor, but the Earth-16 version of the scarab has less capabilities than its Earth-1 version, so I could not be sure.

2) Why did you (you or you and your team) decide to change the name of the Negotiator to the Ambassador?

Greg responds...

1. His clothes are soft and smooshable. His armor is hard. They fit.

2. What was he negotiating?

1) is Marvin the closeted gay character that your not allowed to explicitly show as being homosexual?
1a) If so, does Wendy, his best friend know, even if he hasnt told her?
1b) If not, did he and Wendy ever date?
1c) Are both 1a and 1b true?

2) Are Marvin and Wendy still best friends?

3) Is he going to Ivy University with her?

An unrelated question:
4) Is Mercy an Amazon like she is in the comics?

Greg responds...

1. Why would I answer this? SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

1a. Obviously, since they're dating, Wendy doesn't think he's gay.

1b. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

4. No.
