Rick Jones writes...
(Sorry if it's been answered but I did search the archives, and your answers about plotting YJ have been very illuminating.) Are there any books or guides to plotting a series? There are plenty of books about "how to write your pilot" and such, but I haven't had any luck finding suggestions for how to plot a series.
Greg responds...
I would think there are, but I haven't seen/read any. My method has been trial and error, learning by experience.
Nick writes...
Hi, Greg. Hope you’re well.
On the 2019 SDCC Young Justice promotional tote bag, Victor Stone was shown with the G designation G-08. While he obviously gained a B designation later in the season, this caused me to become very curious about the G-Series.
We know that Jeff, Brion and Violet make up the first three G-zeta designations, and it can be assumed that Jace and Forager got ones as well. But my confusion lies in which characters fill G-06 and G-07. I suppose it could be possible for Tara to have received zeta access before Vic, but who would the other G-series member be? Does Oracle have one? Metamorpho?
I know that you prefer to let these flow naturally from the series, but since the G-series is essentially defunct now, could you possibly clear up this confusion? Was it a mistake or are we missing something?
Greg responds...
Yeah, fair enough...
G-01 Pierce-Comma-Jefferson
G-02 Markov-Comma-Brion
G-03 Halo
G-04 Jace-Comma-Helga
G-05 Harper-Comma-James
G-06 Forager
G-07 Markov-Comma-Tara
G-08 Stone-Comma-Victor
Meta Human writes...
I'm REALLY loving this season of Young Justice! I'm glad to hear it's been renewed. One of the aspects that I've really found interesting is the exploration of how society on Earth-16 views Metas. It really makes the world feel fleshed out and distinct from our own.
1. How does the general public view non-meta heroes? Are they less popular because they are less 'cool' than the meta heroes or do people view them as inspiring underdogs?
2. Do people suspect non-meta heroes might secretly be meta humans or simply have non-apparent meta abilities? For instance, do they wonder if Batman might be a meta if he can keep up with the Justice League?
3. Is there any fears from the non-meta populace that metas may 'replace' them?
Thanks!
Greg responds...
1. Individual heroes get individual responses from different individuals. Some people, for example, love Batman. Others are afraid of him, etc. There's no monolithic response.
2. Some might.
3. Uh, yeah!
Bumblebee writes...
Hey Greg! I really enjoyed the latest episode of Young Justice - Unknown Factors - and had a few questions about Bumblebee, who I really enjoyed seeing again.
1. Bumblebee's baby had not previously been named in the comics to my knowledge, was her name an invention of the writers or did DC have that information on file or help out with choosing the name?
2. Are Karen and Mal retired by season 3?
3. What are your own thoughts on Karen's choice to manipulate her daughter's genes? Do you agree with her that it was the right choice?
Thank you!
Greg responds...
1. We had to come up with a name - and even a gender for their baby. All our research and inquiry revealed that neither Rhea's name or gender had been revealed.
2. I assume you mean as heroes, right? If so, more or less.
3. You have NO IDEA which choice she made. This has surprised me. Everyone seems to feel like they KNOW whether or not she manipulated her daughter's genes. But we left it intentionally ambiguous. I think people are confused by the flashback where Karen was manipulating her own gene sample (outside her body). To our surprise, they seem to be assuming that was her manipulating Rhea. But it's a memory that's part of her decision-making process. Then we leave her, trying to decide, before she later tells Mal that she did the right thing. I'm not saying whether she did or didn't manipulate the gene... but I KNOW we didn't show it on screen.
A fan from Portland writes...
Hey Mr. Greg! I am a huge fan of Young Justice, and I love the show to bits, but I have a weird question: how do Martian Bioships work?
Like, are they living organisms that have a symbiotic connection with Martians? Are they living at all? Are they another Martian lifeform? Are they technology? Living technology? Is it like a Mother Box? I am so curious because the Bioship is such a cool, yet peculiar thing. Anyway, thank you for listening!
Greg responds...
They are living creatures. Saying anything more would be a spoiler.

Hi,Greg.
Do you think if you would have a chance to revive the show Gargoyles.
Would you have the show with it's new seasons stream on Disney+?
A lot of revived shows are streamed on platforms like Neflix or Hulu.
Greg responds...
It is, of course, NOT my decision to make. I would assume that any revival of a Disney show would go to Disney+. But again - NOT UP TO ME.
Rose writes...
Hi Greg,
I searched the archives a little and I did not see this answered specifically...(if I’m wrong please link me)
When in the tv series did Goliath realize he had feelings for Elisa? I know he was always gradually falling for her (unbeknownst to him for not) since he first met her...but what do you think?
I always imagined it was well before he realized the physical connection in the mirror...maybe by deadly force when he realized he might lose her and lost his mind about Dracon.
Thanks for this amazing show and for your answer!
Greg responds...
I don't think he realized he had romantic feelings for her until "The Mirror".
Dad writes...
1. How old is Ryan Choi?
Greg responds...
We haven't laid eyes on him yet, so NO SPOILERS.
NickS writes...
Hello,
I want to say that I'm a big fan of the shows you've made from Gargoyles to Young Justice and I'd like to ask a few questions.
1. Are Plastic Man, Hardware and Batwoman part of Batman's team? Batwoman obviously and I think Plastic Man is due to his history with Batman.
1A. Why would Hardware be on Batman's team? Does he have history with Batman in the comics as well because I don't know him much.
2. What's Metamorpho's designation for Batman's team.
3. If I were to ask about the character designs for this season, should I ask you or Phil?
4. What was Troia like when she was part of the Team?
5. Did she ever wear stealth tech?
Greg responds...
1. I assume, given the date of your post, you mean as of mid-season of Outsiders. In which case, the answer is yes to all three.
1A. No spoilers.
2. I don't give out designation numbers here.
3. Depends on the question, I guess.
4. No spoilers.
5. Ever? Probably. I haven't thought about it.
Anna writes...
Hi! I have some questions about Bart Allen:
1: Does Bart have any trauma regarding his past?
2: Is the personality we see him have all the time his real personality?
3: Does Bart ever feel uncomfortable about becoming KF the way he did?
Thank you!
Greg responds...
1. I'll leave that to your interpretation.
2. "ALL the time"?
3. He said he did. I'd take his word for it.
Kay writes...
Hi, Greg. Hope you're having a good day.
In "Unknown Factors" we see Wyynde and Aquaman go to Granny's house to rescue Nightwing and Black Lightning.
1. Since Atlantis is clearly not near Hollywood, did they use a zeta-tube (perhaps the one seen to get Dolphin to Poseidonis) to get to the U.S.?
1a. Did Wyynde receive an A designation for this (A-43)?
2. Bonus: Do Mera and Artur have A designations since they had to get to Central City somehow for Iris's playdate?
Greg responds...
I am having a good day, so far. Thanks.
1. Yes.
1a. Wyynde did receive an A-Designation. No spoilers for the A-#.
2. They do.

Hi, Greg! Outstanding episode today. Can't wait till next week! Hope Season 4 is going well.

Brett writes...
In the episode "Triptych", are the two officers arresting Simon Stagg supposed to Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya? Do you have any info on them in your lore bible, or were they just quick cameos? Stuff like how old they are, how long they've been police officers, etc? Is Renee a lesbian in this continuity? Thanks for your time sir!
Greg responds...
1. Yep.
2. Both.
3. At the END of Team Year Eight, Harvey Bullock is 52, and Renee Montoya is 29.
4. Not going to reveal how long they've been police officers.
5. I should say NO SPOILERS to this, but it feels a bit silly not to state the obvious: yes, Renee is a lesbian. We're not going to REDUCE the LGBTQ+ representation on our series.

Janitor writes...
Hi, Greg, hope you're well. I was just browsing the unanswered questions queue when I saw a bunch of valid questions that had all been crammed into one post. Since it violated the guidelines, I'm pretty sure it'll get deleted. So just in case, I thought I'd split 'em up and ask them myself.
As of the start of Season 3 (or January 1st, Team Year Eight, whichever way you measure it):
1. How old is Bash Bashford?
2. How old is Bethany Lee?
3. How old is Scorpia A'Daire?
3a. How is Scorpia related to Whisper?
4. How old is Angel O'Day?
Greg responds...
As of the END of Team Year Eight...
1. Bash Bashford is 41.

3a. No spoilers. (What the hell? They're sisters.)
4. Angel O'Day is 14.
Jason R. Carter writes...
1. Dumb question: what happened that led to Bear punching Metron?
2. Given how he feels about Kaldur being Aquaman, is it possible that Black Manta might not approve of his sexuality either?
Greg responds...
1. No spoilers. (But have you met Metron?)
2. I don't see any connection between those two things. But whether or not Manta approves would be a spoiler.
Audrey writes...
1. How long has Jefferson Pierce been fighting crime as Black Lightning prior to Season Three?
Greg responds...
Black Lightning debuted as a hero in Team Year Two.
Nick writes...
I've been curious about this for a while, since we know that Garth showed up to fight off the Reach in the S2 finale, but were Garth and Troia still operating as heroes by the end of Season 2? Or were they already UN ambassadors? Because Dick implies in S3 that they left the Team to become ambassadors, and they were both gone by S2.
Greg responds...
I don't think that was instantaneous.
Jerry writes...
Are there any characters you've introduced that aren't superheroes in the comics, but have thought about creating their own superhero identity in the show?
Greg responds...
I assume you're talking about YJ? If so, no spoilers.
Nick writes...
How old is Gilotina?
Greg responds...
By the end of Team Year Nine, Gilotina is biologically 16.
