1: Does Lex care for conner at all in a fatherly sense?
2: Does Conner view lex as a father? does he care for Lex in some sense?
3: Is Kate Kane a cousin or relative of Bruce in the universe?
4: Is Kate the first batwoman on earth 16 or did Kathy Kane exist too?
5: Is Kate a core member of the batfamily or is she more of a independent agent?

Greg responds...

1. I'm fine leaving that for your interpretation.

2. Ditto.

3. They are first cousins.

4. She's the first.

5. Hopefully, you've seen by now that she is part of the Bat family, which doesn't mean she can't also act independently. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

Did M'gann M'orzz/Megan Morse have a bridal shower on Earth, like Raquel Ervin did?

Greg responds...

Prior to leaving for M'arzz? No. The original plan was to have one on Earth, after she returned from Mars, before her Earth wedding.

Plans change.

Why do issues 2 and 18 have the same title "Monkey Business"?

Greg responds...

Cuz when I wrote issue #18 I forgot that issue #2 (which I didn't write or edit) had that title. Basically, I screwed up. (And no one caught it until after it was published.)

Did you ever consider having Ma'alefa'ak succeed in committing genocide? If so, why did you ultimately decide against it?

Greg responds...

If you're talking about in episode 404, than no.

Hi Greg, hope you're doing well. I was wondering
1. When Tara was at Happy Harbor, did she fly under the radar? Perhaps with a different name.
Cause you'd think if she used the last name Markov before Nevermore, people might've gotten more hysterical.

Greg responds...

1. People tend to fly under the radar until they don't.

1a. I don't think she used a different name at Happy Harbor High School. But I guess I'd have to confirm that with Brandon Vietti. See what he thinks.

1: Is a child of a B'lahdenn still treated as a Noble if they come out white or green?

2: Are all martians born with the psychic powers and the ability to shape-shifting? Are the ones born without discriminated or treated negatively?

3: Are some A'ashenn grey or all of them white? This is inspired by your latest answer and your wish that you made the (A'ashenn all grey.

4: Did any martians travel to earth before
J'onn J'onzz? Did they inspire earth's myths of the Greys and little green men or other alien tales.

5: Did J'onn J'onzz always present as a black man? What was his decision for doing so?
5b: Does J'onn have multiple identities that he uses?

Greg responds...

1. In depends how conservative one's family is. If it's very conservative, the act of marrying a G'arrunn or an A'ashenn would disqualify you from still being considered a true B'lahdenn. An extremely liberal family wouldn't, in theory, care about caste at all. But, if we're speaking generally, then I suppose the answer is no. If you're visibly A'ashenn or G'arrunn, you're not B'lahdenn.

2. Yes.

2a. I don't know if there are any without, but you can imagine if there were what kind of reception they'd get.

3. Uh... I guess they're all white. (Or maybe it depends on the lighting or the filter on your camera.)

4. No spoilers.

5. No spoilers.

5b. I'm not saying he's NEVER used another identity, but he's fundamentally stuck with John Jones.

Liam L writes...

Can I just say that I love your decision to keep Mars a populated plant! I'm so glad we finally got to see it this season. I think the world building was incredibly interesting, so I have a few or well more than a few questions.

1: Are the other castes able to sense what a Y'ellonn former caste was? Are Y'ellonn of a higher caste respected more than a lower one?

2: Is becoming a sorcerer priest the only way to learn magic on Mars? Are the other ways legal?

3: if there's a different way to learn magic, is there a difference between the priesthood magic and the alternatives or is it mostly the same?

4: Is a red martian joining the priest hood common?

5: Do Y'ellonn permanently lose their shape-shifting ability? Or do they still still have shape-shifting but every transformation they remain yellow?

Greg responds...

1. Technically, yes. But it's considered very bad form to even try. Y'ellonsn are all equally Y'ellonn. Former-Caste no longer matters.

2. No. But that's the traditional route.

2a. Legal? As long as one's not doing anything illegal WITH the magic, I suppose it's all legal.

3. All magicks have their signature, but all magic is still fundamentally the same thing.

4. Percentage-wise, as common as the other castes, but there are fewer reds, so their are fewer taking the Y'ellonn.

5. The latter, though I imagine they have less reason or need to shapeshift.

Patrick writes...

1: Who were the founding members of the doom patrol?

2: Is Negative woman still Russian? She didn't sound Russian in Beast boy's vision

3: When did Rita and Steve get together? Was it after or before the founding of the doom patrol?

4: Did Rita's power come with any drawbacks? I always disliked that the one female member was the Normal one while the guys were "freaks".

5: Did Gar view Steve as a father before the death of the doom patrol?

Greg responds...

1. Chief. Negative Woman. Robotman. Mento.

2. Yes, she's Russian.

3. Team Year Two.

3a. After.

4. Everything has drawbacks. My ability to eat very large quantities of the foods I love has drawbacks.

5. I think I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Roy harper fan writes...

1: Roy harper has been raised on a native american/Indian reservation in multiple several of his backstories, it was really central to his character post crisis where he even got a Traditional tribal tattoo. So I was wondering if that's the case on Eartg 16? Just to clarify Roy isn't ethnically Native in the comics, he was just raised near by and then on the reservation following his dad's death before he enter Olllie's

2: Speaking of which what year did Roy become Ollie's ward/enter his care?

3: Did either Black canary have any kid of connection to the justice society like being trained by wildcat? Hopefully you can answer, I think it's not too spoiler.

4: Was there any superhero teams that debuted in between the justice society and the justice league?

5: Was there any names that Will harper thought of using when before he decides on Will?
5b: Did he go with will since it was easier and his middle name?

Greg responds...

1. No spoilers. To clarify policy here, if the answer to a question in essence requires me to tell a story, then that's a story to be told (in flashback, in this case), and I'm not going to spoil that story here, even if I have no IMMEDIATE plans to tell that story.

2. 2007.

3. No spoilers. See above for why.

4. No spoilers.

5. Not really. Going with his middle name just made sense.
