Hello Mr.Weisman
I have a question about miss martian Telepathy
,ms.martian can easily brain Blast people that will cause great pain and may leave them Unconscious (as seen in Se1 Ep21 when Megan brain Blast conner,dick and wally so they can't find out her true form) so why doesn't Ms. Martian use this more? She could have ended lots of fights in the first place with this ability and I think her reluctance to use this ability has nothing to do with her fear of hurting people because conner,dick and wally woke up unharmed and only with a headache.
I know you are very busy but I hope you can answer my question
Thank you

Greg responds...

It's a fair question, but I think she's reluctant to overuse her telepathy. That was a hard lesson learned, and she regards it as a slippery slope. I don't think she'd look at the brain-blasting of Conner, Dick and Wally as harmless. These things put strains on the victim's brain. Witness how Beast Boy's brain was injured by being brain-blasted on Mars. Sure, he was blasted multiple times at once, but the premise that it can damage the brain remains. And M'gann is a much more powerful telepath than your average Martian. So, she has a particular need to be careful.

Hi Greg ! Hope you're fine !
1)What use is Belle Reve prison if anybody can enter and escape by boom-tubing in and out, like Vertigo at the end of season 3 ?
2) Don't you think it's a little too simple to suppress anybody's powers with a simple collar ?
3) Megan in season 2 didn't have any powers except telepathy in the submarine, so how come she hadn't been forced to take her true martian form ? 'cause the collar should have suppressed her transforming power too at that point.
4)Could there be a collar for Darkseid ? If they work on martians and kryptonians and so on, why not on him ? :)
5)Don't you find it a little nonsensical that Vandal (a human being) had to remind to the lords of chaos and order (immortal beings that are essential to the universe) their ONLY JOB (keeping the balance in the universe), which btw they do since 16 billions years ? I mean, what else are they supposed to do then !? I gotta admit I thought they were dummies at this moment ^^
But, to your credit, that gives a nice feeling of mythological poetry (full of nonsense but great to tell).
Vandal is probably the most interesting character on the show, that's impressive how you guys managed to make him so well !!! So clever, so mysterious, so powerful... And he's neither all bad or all good, he represents the human race, like a dark guardian angel taking care of the Earth !
Thanks for this show, that's a real gem I could watch a hundred times !

Greg responds...

1. Not everyone has a boomtube Get-Out-of-Jail free card. But it's clearly a problem.

2. I do. But the idea is that the collar needs to be specifically pre-set. It's a reach, I'll admit, though.

3. She was already transformed. She couldn't have transformed back to her Martian form. That's just how her powers work. She's locked into whatever her last transformation was.

4. Potentially, in theory.

5. Okay. It seems to me that obsessives can sometimes get carried away.

Glad, generally, you like it!

Does Earth-16 Doctor Fate keep the souls of previous wearers of the Helmet of Fate in the Amulet of Anubis like Earth-1? I remember that Kent's soul 'stuck around' with Nabu for a while until Nabu released him in "Misplaced" for speaking out against keeping Zatanna, but in "Teg Ydaer!" during Zatara's plea to Nabu all of the previous (on screen) wearers appear in the dimension with them in a ghostly form. Or am I just reading too much into it?

Greg responds...

The souls of previous wearers are not stuck in the helmet generally. Though a record of them is kept.

Hey Greg! This definitely isn’t meant to be hostile and I hope it doesn’t come across that way, but I’m curious why you don’t answer questions about character’s sexuality on the basis of no spoilers, but you will answer questions about, say, Bruce or Artemis’ eye colors, or Traci’s ethnicity. Why is a character’s sexuality a bigger spoiler to reveal than any other surface level descriptor of them? Obviously asking something like “is Tim going to end up dating Bernard” is a spoiler request, but asking “is Tim Drake bisexual” doesn’t feel like one, at least to me. Generally the rule for spoilers on here is that you don’t want to tell a story here, but why is clarifying someone’s sexuality a story whereas clarifying other surface details not?

Greg responds...

That's a fair question. I guess... it's just been for the sake of drama. There's no reveal to eye color. But if X dates Y, the reveal of X's sexuality is still just that: a reveal. And as a storyteller, I like to milk all the reveals that I can.

But maybe I should reconsider. I'll think on it. Thank you.

We never got the chance to see, but what colours did Superboy's eyes turn with the spy/dark tech lenses?

Greg responds...

Um... I'm probably not the guy to ask when it comes to color-related questions. But didn't they all glow blue?

Was there a reason Red Torpedo didn't speak in Humanity? You had Jeff Bennet in the cast, after all.

Greg responds...

Can't have more than three voices without activating an entire second payment for Jeff. Much as I would love to throw money at the amazing Mr. Bennett, we have a budget. And Jeff was already voicing T.O. Morrow, Red Tornado and Red Volcano.

1. Do you know about that popular fast food restaurant chain in the DC Universe called Big Belly Burger?

2. If so is there any Big Belly Burger restaurants in Young Justice (TV Series)?

3. Would any of the young heroes be interested in eating at Big Belly Burger?

4. Is there any family entertainment center and restaurant pizza chain in USA of Young Justice (TV Series) that's a parody of Chuck E. Cheese's?

Greg responds...

1. Yep.

2. Yep. One was very prominent in the battle at Planet Circle.

3. Yep.

4. I'm sure there is.

After the granny goodness situation are the light still willing to accept certain members of darkseid’s inner circle as potential light members if there is a vacant seat or are they all banned from joining the light now?

Greg responds...

I don't think there are bylaws and official bans. But it seems highly unlikely.

In the past, you said at the end of Young Justice season 1, there were 179 name DC characters and at the end of Young Justice Invasion, the total increased to 241.

1. What was the total number of name DC characters at the end of Young Justice: Outsiders?

2. What is/was the total number of name DC characters at the end of Young Justice: Phantoms?

3. In December 2021, you said there were 759 name DC characters in an Ask Greg reply. That appears to factor in characters that were only mentioned. That seems like a very big jump from 241 at the end of Invasion to the end of Phantoms. Did the previous totals you cited for season 1 and season 2 ignore characters that were only mentioned?

4. Regarding your totals per season, I would like to ask for clarification on how you factor in the name DC characters that appear in the comic books and in the Legacy video game. Like for example, for Issue #0 to Issue #19 and the first Free Comic Day comic, were those added to the season 1 count of 179, were those in Issue #20 to #25 and from Legacy added to the Invasion count of 241, and the Torch Song digital comic included in the Outsiders count?

Greg responds...

I don't know that I tracked the stats the way you might have liked me to. Or preserved the various stopping points. I just kept adding to the total.

The total number of characters, revealed in the Young Justice Character Countback, is/was 782. That includes the television episodes, all the canon comics, the video game and the audio play. And it includes DC Characters, new characters (of which there weren't many, though there were a few), etc.

If these stats interest you, I suggest going through the Countback and compiling the info you need yourself. That way you can compile the exact stats you're looking for.
