Do the Leaguer's children, like Jon, understand their parents are superheroes? I'm asking because if Jon, for example, sees Daddy flying, there is no way a young child is going to not talk about his dad flying. Kids have no filters.

Greg responds...

Kid's will surprise you.

Jason Todd Fanboy writes...

Hi Greg! Long time forum lurker first time question asker. I won’t ask about any thing about what you have or don’t have planned for Jason. Instead I would like to ask your opinion on dc comics canon about Jason being trained by the all-caste. Since the introduction of Jason’s training under ancient mystical warrior monks I’ve always thought it was an amazing way to make him stand out on his own from the other robins.
1)As a professional in the industry what are your thoughts on that part of his backstory?
2)Do you believe it was a good way to add more layers to his character or wasn’t and the robins should all be street level characters?
Thank you for your time and thank you for creating one of my favorite shows of all time!

Greg responds...

1. Not familiar with it. SORRY!

2. See above.

1. When Miss Martian was acting affectionate with Lagoon Boy in front of Superboy in season 2 did she did do that on purpose to make Superboy jealous?
2. How long exactly was Miss Martian abusing powers? Did she start abusing them in 2015 or longer?
3. When Conner died, did anyone like Artemis, Dick or Kaldur try and contact M'gann after learning the news or has no one spoken to her and are waiting for her return to Earth?
4. Do you regret that Zatanna's feelings over the loss of Conner got no focus during her arc? A lot of fans were hoping for some insight into their friendship since they've had very little on-screen time together.
5. Is Black Canary dealing with her own grief in regards to Conner's death? Did she ever consider him like a protege or maybe family due to their closeness in season 1?

Greg responds...

1. Not consciously.

2. Not long before Conner broke up with her.

3. They all tried.

4. I don't have regrets about it. Screen time is precious. You make the best use of it you can.

5. Yes, of course.

1) In the Musicology 101 Crossover Radio Play, Sandra Stanyon's character from Hello Megan is identified as Sandra Wheeler. Can we take that as confirmation of the character's first name in YJ?
2) If Sandra Stanyon played Sandra Wheeler and Rita Farr played Rita Lee, was Mr Wheeler's first name Jonathan after Jonathan Lord?
3) Was the Kobra seen in the flashback in "Volatile" Jeffrey Burr or Jason Burr?
4) Where were Savage and the Stranger when they spoke with the Lords of Order and Chaos in "Kaerb Ym Traeh!"?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Probably. But we never actually set it.

3. Jeffrey.

4. Inside a mystic crystal, according to the script.

I noticed that you based the Ma’arphin beast on a dolphin but what animals did you base Ma’arzuu Beast and Ma’alefa’ak off of?

Greg responds...

We pretty much made them up. The former needed to be super cute and be able to puff up and float. The latter needed to be super-scary, even to the super-powerful Martians.

Secret writes...

1. Following Superboy's heroic sacrifice, are the martian species planning to honor him somehow like building a statue of him?
2. What was the aftermath of Superboy's death like on Mars in the following weeks before M'gann left the planet?
3. Since Superboy died on Mars did they hold a martian funeral for him?
5. Is Prince J'emm and the royal family planning to honour Superboy somehow?
5. Whatever happened to R'ess E'dda after Superboy's death? Was he dismissed, demoted or suspended from his duties?

Greg responds...

1. Honor him, yes. I'm not going to commit to any specifics.

2. You're basically asking me to tell another story here at Ask Greg. That's not really what this site is for. Feel free to use your imagination until Brandon and I have the opportunity to explore these things.

3. I'm not going to commit to any specifics.

5. Yes.

5. No comment.

Hey there Greg I have some questions about the light this time.

We do know being a member gives you a lot of status in the villain/under world side of things, but what happened to members that get replaced?

Say OceanMaster and Blackmanta were once respected but now they killed the former, and the light is indifferent With Blackmanta being under Amanda Waller’s control.

1.-Does that mean that once members get expelled they lose all worth the light? And I don’t mean “worth” as in how they also use the heroes as tool , but how say a retired Justice or president still gates benefits and respect.

2.- Why was Rhas Al gul not “disgraced” after abandoning the light
3.- We know Rhas Al gul retired from the light, and as head of the “league of shadows”. But are the shadows still loyal to him as the even if i’s unofficially?

Thank you, Greg.

Greg responds...

1. It's all situational. Certain failures land one out of favor. Manta not realizing his own son was a mole was considered a BIG failure. Ocean-Master was granted all respect but refused to stand down from the Nuclear Option. Lex Luthor on the other hand is still viewed as a worthwhile member of the Light, despite his public shaming, legal problems and need to retrench.

2. "Abandoning" is a strong word. He resigned and handed over one of his major assets (the League of Shadows) to the Light. Plus he and Vandal are old friends.

3. You'd have to poll each Shadow individually, I suppose, and hope for honesty and self-awareness if you wanted to trust their answers. And even then, it's bound to be situational.

Paul writes...

In the comics, Troia is a name that Donna Troy takes after she learns of her connection to the Titans of Myth. Since Brandon Vietti and yourself have gone with the "Troia" version of the character for Earth-16, this implies that Earth-16 Troia has an origin that involves the Titans of Myth. Troia's look in Young Justice certainly evokes the "Titans of Myth" origin for her character (with some differences in YJ, of course), and in that version of her origin, the Titans of Myth provided her with an array of mystical gifts. Does she possess these gifts in Young Justice (or did she have them during the five-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, at least)?

I'm not sure how guarded you are about Troia's origin and details surrounding it... I'll take the risk that this question might be deleted by the mods. Perhaps you can give at least a hint in answer, please, if you feel that that's appropriate.

Greg responds...

No hints, I'm afraid, beyond the hints from the series itself. And I wouldn't take it for granted what origin we have in mind. (I will say it's a mix.)

1. How much does the public know about Superboy's death? Do they know he was on Mars and about his engagement?
2. How did the public learn about Superboy's death? Did someone hold a press conference, social media or announce it at the United Nations?
3. If it was a press conference who revealed the news. Was it Wonder Girl because she is the Outsiders acting leader or Catherine Cobert since she is the public liason?
4. How are the rest of the Outsiders coping with Conner's death? Members like Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Blue Beetle and Robin since they knew him longer?
5. How did the Outsiders find out about Conner's death. Did Garfield contact them or did they find out some other way?

Greg responds...

1. They know he was on Mars. I don't think they know about his engagement.

2. Catherine Cobert would have held a press conference. Probably with a representative from the League and the Outsiders.

3. Both, I'd guess. NOTE: I'm not committing to anything that's not on screen, especially since these are decisions I would make with Brandon Vietti. But this represents my best guess at the moment.

4. I think I can leave that to your imagination, rather than listing responses for each character. But suffice to say, all are grieving.

5. Probably from J'onn.

Bugsy writes...

Would Garfield still have breakup with Perdita if Garfield had not gone to mars with M'gann and Conner and if so, why?

Greg responds...

I think Garfield was already suffering from PTSD when he departed for Mars, and his unwillingness to address that was already interfering with his relationship to Perdita. Mars - and Superboy's "death" - exacerbated the problem. A lot.

Still, he says - even before they departed for Mars - that he and Perdita could use a little break. So, I think there's a chance they still would've broken up. But who knows? What happened happened.
