Hi Greg,

Really enjoying Phantoms now that we're in the final stretch. My questions might seem a little obvious but I don't want to assume things about a character in-universe based on who her voice actress is, so...

Is Rosa AKA Fury Trans?

During the Zatanna Arc of Season 4 we see a lot of magic and so my questions are regarding it.

Previously you told us the specialisms of Black Briarthorn, Felix Faust, Wotan and Wizard.

1. The Specialisms of Khalid seems to be biological manipulation which given his role as a Doctor fits. Is his knowledge as a Doctor a requirement for that kind of magic or does it at least enhance his skill at performing that kind of magic?
2. How did Traci settle on her Urban Magic specialism given her initial talent was at Bad Luck Magic?
3. Mary seems to be an absorber of magic, is this her specialism, is it tied to her connections to Sergeant Marvel or is it a thing all Sorcerers can do?
4. Are Khalid, Traci and Zatanna Homo Magi meaning they can use their Vim Vitai to perform Sorcery whereas Mary Marvel is Homo Sapien so must take magic from elsewhere to perform Sorcery?
5. Through the Crown of Arion all the magic we know of in the show has derived from the Lords of Order through to the Homo Magi with the exception of Klarion. Of course we don't know the source of some magic such as Neptune's Trident and The Sword of Beowulf. Are there other sources of magic or are Lords of Order and Chaos the ultimate source for all magic?

I have some questions regarding the Space Belts first seen used in Season 3 Episode 13 Influence by Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman and Superman as they assaulted the Orphanage and seen again in the latest episode Ego and Superego, Season 4 Episode 23. I have included two questions on similar technology.

1. Who developed this technology?
2. Was it based on existing technology or was it designed from scratch?
3. How do the Life Support functions work, ie where does the Oxygen come from.
4.How does Rocket's Intertia Belt's Life Support functions work?
5. How do Power Rings Life Support Functions work.

I wanted to thank you for season 4 which has basically been a bunch if arcs centred around all the subject matter I've wanted explored since season 1. I hope you get to keep doing what you have been.

Regarding the five between the five anchors (Aquaman, Nightwing, Artemis, Rocket, and Zatanna) and Klarion, it looked to me like Klarion was the aggressor/aggressive against the first four, but was more responsive to Zatanna, refuting her attacks instead of attacking her directly.

1. Was that a deliberate choice?
2. If so, was there anything about Zatanna specifically (such as Klarion being curious what she would do, having some grudging respect, something else)?

As bear's age was mentioned in the show I wanted to know more about how old are the gods.
1-how old is Darkseid?
2-how old is highfather?
3-how old is orion?
4-who is the oldest new god and how old is he?
5-how many years ago the old gods were born?

Child had a very poor relationship with klarion declaring that he was a Servant of order. This shows that there are lords of chaos who butt heads with each other. So are there other lords of order who are frustrated with nabu’s handeling of earth and think he is doing a poor job?

Hello there. I just read this on tumblr by user throwawayuntilfurthernotice:
"Young Justice: The Problem With Halo.
I am not going to beat around the bush, I don’t like the character of Halo/Violet in Young Justice. They aren’t the worst character on the show, but the way they’re written is so goddam frustrating.
The writers wanted to have their cake and eat it too when it came to Halo, for you see, they weren’t just the first Muslim character that has been introduced into the show’s universe, but they’re also non binary.
Now this raises a lot of problems, as Halo’s faith never really comes into play during Season Three, they’re only Muslim in appearance only. It also doesn’t help that Halo even states that they’re not Muslim in the episode “Early Warning” but they still continue to wear a hijab because.....reasons.
To the writers’ credit, they do try to address this issue in Season Four, by giving Halo their own subplot in which they try to learn more about Islam, but like most things in Season Four, it never really goes anywhere. As Khalid pretty much takes over as the newest Muslim member of the team during Zatana’s arc and Halo is just kinda left with nothing to do.
That is until the most recent episode, in which the writers basically told everyone that rightful criticized Halo and Harper’s interaction in Season Three to go fuck themselves, because Halo and Harper is now the endgame.
I fucking hate Harper Row, she really is the perfect example of how not to properly portray a bisexual character in media. And the recent episode really made her come off as an entitled brat, which I don’t think was the intention because the writers clearly want the viewers to root for Halo and Violet getting together by the end of the episode.
But to make a long story short, I personally feel like Halo could have been written a lot better as a character had the writers had a clear idea of what they wanted them to be from the beginning. Instead of just mashing various ideas together and expecting to be praised for surface level representation."
I know Halo/Violet has has been a complicated character for many to become fond of since their introduction in season 3. And it seems nothing you write or do with them is making anyone happy with them. I'm just going with the flow and don't think too much of them. The latest episode Ego and Superego, I believe was a good Halo episode. And I actually cared or more like was interested in what was happening in the episode with them. I'm not a fan of Brion or Harper either but to me they were also pretty ok this episode. I didn't hate them.
I'd love to know what's your opinion on this opinion (the tumblr post), please. How does it make you feel the frustration people have with Halo?
Btw, their new costume looks awesome!
