Hi Greg, I was reading the YJ wiki and started to wonder about some things:

1. Is Queen Bee a meta-human? In case she isn't, what's the source of her pheromone powers?

2. About Ice, is she part of a Romani clan like her New Earth counterpart? Also, is her power ice magic or meta-gene related?

3. Does Earth 16's Soultaker absorbs the souls of those killed by it?

What is your deal with changing the racial ethnicity, gender and, worst of all, sexual orientations of characters when you do an adaptation or remake of something as opposed to making an expy. Why ruin what does not need to be fixed? At least with expys, you can basically have a character that you want to use while not sticking to what makes them them instead of your own thing

Hi Greg.
I'm currently annotating the YJ tie-in comics while using the wiki as a resource, as it contains citations to previous Ask Greg Questions. I ask only because I think it was never clarified. I find the wiki to be a wonderful resource, so I wouldn't ask if it was clearly stated on there.

I am currently on Issue #5 (aka the origin issue) and needed something cleared up about Wally's origin. Did Wally have unfettered access to Barry's lab notes when recreating the Flash experiment, or was he simply going off of his memory of the notes he saw when he first found them?

Barry blames himself for Wally's "accident," but how responsible was he really if Wally only carelessly recreated it without supervision.

Thanks for your transparency for all these years, and I hope this is a question that can be answered.

Hi greg! I loved gargoyles growing up but i was wondering something about the clans of gargoyles. is their a term or name for the gargoyles who don't have a clan like Demona? I don't mean exiled but like how Demona is alone. She doesn't have a class. is it simply clanless or is there a term for it?

Hi Greg.

How would you feel if Spectacular Spider-Man cameoed (Space Jam style) in Avengers Secret Wars as a minor cameo (like multiple animated characters having small but meaningful cameos, to show the animated characters also helping save the day)?

When it comes to Avatars and the Children of Oberon, does it always have to be someone hijacking the Third Race member in question and taking control of the power solely by themselves like Jackal and the Emir, or is it possible for a more symbiotic relationship between Avatar and Child to exist? If so, is that one possible loophole for Oberon’s law?

Hello Mr. Wisemen I have been along time fan and I have been wondering three things about young justice.
1. How in did the league get so many new recruits between season 2 and season 4

2. Will we ever see David Cain and orphan talk to each other

3. Will more comics for young justice come out

Unintentionally Unsympathetic
1) Few people are shedding tears for Silas Stone after Victor lashed out at him for turning him into a cyborg with the Father Box. From what we see of his relationship with his son, he's shown to be pretty apathetic and distant to the point he barely knows anything about Victor's school life (for reference, he chastises Victor for not doing well enough at school when he has a 4.0 GPA). And although we can forgive him for turning Victor into a cyborg out of desperation, he loses sympathy points when he instead tries to pin the blame on the Justice League for Victor's condition since they gave him the Father Box, even though the League warned him of its dangers.

2) M'gann may enter this territory in "Nevermore." She attempts to give back her engagement ring to Conner, heartbroken that he still can't forgive her for how she abused her powers in the past, while Conner immediately declares otherwise and they happily reconcile. Only problem with that is in just the prior episode she abused her powers to deceive Artemis by letting her believe she was communicating with Wally's spirit when it was really just a construct created by M'gann from Artemis' own mind. Conner, of course, doesn't know this but it's difficult to imagine he wouldn't regard the plan with similar distain when he considers her lying to everyone to be little different than her abusing her powers, and her actions in "Overwhelmed" are her abusing her powers again. Thus M'gann can be seen as receiving forgiveness even while she continues her previous behavior, only this time sucessfully keeping it hidden from Conner.

3) Black Lightning, the show treats him as a more moral and honest counterpart to characters such as Batman who work covertly with secrets, but many fans found him to be a hypocrite since he engages in many of the same things for the majority of the season, such as joining Nightwing's covert team after calling out Batman for making one, and only seems to have a problem with secrets when they're being kept from him, by the end of the season when Jefferson becomes leader of the Justice League many fans feel it was unearned due to his previous actions and behavior.

4) Don't get me start with Garfield/Beast Boy and his behavior during the events of Young Justice Phantoms.

I don't know if you're ever gonna make a Season 5 or more Seasons for Young Justice, but if you do then you better find a way to make up for all this shown above. Okay please?

Thanksgiving delay reasoning writes...

About the comic Unequivocal Success (of Quest). I have a question: What was you reasoning for delaying the comic to November 2024?

Reason why I asked is because the comic brings up the missey feelings on Thanksgiving.

On one hand, I liked you brought it up because since of course part-Native Elisa would have mixed feelings on it and that her Native father doesn't do it. So the messy feelings on Thanksgiving has to be brought up at some point and they do need to be adressed.

On the other hand, I think it would have been better to release the comic on August/September (aka not the actual Thanksgiving months of Canadian!Thanksgiving on October and Amercian!Thankgiving on November). You realized the risk that bringing up mixed feelings about Thanksgiving near Thanksgiving is just asking for some fans to accuse you of "ruining their October/November on purpose with soapboxing" right?

Meanwhile if the comic was relased on Aug/Set instead, the risk of that accusation happening is far lower and people would be more will willing to listen about the mixed feelings on Thanksgiving.

I am just asking what was you reasoning for delaying the comic to November 2024 (as opposed to releasing it on Aug/Set) even though it has content that talked about the mixed feelings about Thanksgiving? Do you think it is worth it to relase it on November instead of Aug/Set?

Mr. Weisman,

I have a question for Flash's very small cameo in the season 4 finale. Is there a reason why he went back to his old suit?

Lucius Varus writes...

1. In the show, Oberon is established to be one of, if not the most powerful opponent the Gargoyles have ever faced. Are there beings in the Gargoyles Universe even more powerful than Oberon? And if so, where do they all fall under the cosmic pecking order.

2. What do Fox and Hyena think of each other?

3. How do you feel about all of the people who ship Eliza and Demona together?

4. Since its implied that all myths, legends, and folktales are true in the Gargoyles Universe (Puck and the Loch Ness Monster for examples), what does this mean for all of the Monotheistic and Polytheistic faiths?

5. If souls exist in the Gargoyles Universe, then is there a singular afterlife for all people and creatures? Or do Humans and Gargoyles have separate ones?

True or False?: The Possible Origin of Earth-16's Superboy

As Superboy is a partial clone of Superman, and Superman's DNA was somehow acquired by Project Cadmus without him realizing it, one possible explanation is that they acquired the DNA from Superman's blood during the aftermath of a major battle that Superman was involved in; the enemy that Superman fought with was either equal to or stronger than him in terms of strength, or the enemy had access to Kryptonite-augmented weaponry (most likely in the form of blades). Whatever the reason, this enemy caused Superman to bleed during the fight, and Superman's blood was splattered all over the battleground. Then, most likely, someone who was disguised as part of a cleanup crew likely took samples of Superman's blood and brought it to Project Cadmus.

3. If YJ get greenlit for more seasons, will Jon and Damian have the their turn as heroes?

I really enjoyed how Mr. Greg woven the dynamic of hero/villian families and challenges in following their parents or rejecting them. My greatest wish is to see how YJ will handle Orion, Raven, Damian, and Jericho (children of the DC Universe biggest baddies) storylines and how they struggle against their family legacy.

1. Have you ever considered doing a "what if" scenario for any of your work like Gargoyles or Young Justice?
2A. This is a question that has been bothering me for years ever since the first time Young Justice got cancelled and as far as I can tell no one has asked you this question, did anyone actually take you up on your challenge of making a pie in exchange for a spoiler if the pie was good enough?
2B. Were any of the pies good enough?
Also I just want to say thank you for all of the hard work you and the crew you've worked with over have done to bring us hours of entertainment, I know the trolls are annoying but despite some minor criticisms that I have that I won't bother you with I enjoy your shows.

Are Zatanna and Rocket dating? I ask because I noticed that every other pair we see at Bibbo's Diner in the season three finale is either actively dating (Dick/Barbara, Kaldur/Wyndde, Conner/M'gann) or briefly expressed an attraction to each-other in that season (Roy/Artemis), making Zee and Raquel an odd outlier amongst the group if they aren't in a relationship.

TRUE OR FALSE: Earth-16 Spectre

#1. The Spectre is a divine entity representing vengeance on behalf of The Presence (who is considered to be God in the context of Abrahamic religion).

#2. The Spectre was initially a demon named Aztar; he rebelled against God but later sought forgiveness and was granted a divine role.

#3. The Spectre is normally bound to a human host who assists him in judging the transgressions of humanity and other beings, determining suitable punishments; these judgments are often delivered in a harsh and creatively ironic manner.

#4. The primary host of the Spectre is usually James "Jim" Corrigan, a Gotham City detective.

#5. Another possible host of the Spectre is Crispus Allen, another Gotham detective; even though this man has doubts about God's existence.

In the Earth-16 universe, even though his real name, his true nature, or his origins are unclear, is the Phantom Stranger's present-day secret identity named Philip Stark? If true, did his family (whom I assume are deceased in the Earth-16 universe) included his wife Elena Stark, his daughter Allie Stark, and his son, Tim Stark?

Anonymous writes...

TRUE OR FALSE?

The "Young Justice" TV series (designated as Earth-16) is part of the multiverse that existed in the DC Animated Movie Universe, and it had been wiped out from existence in the conclusion of the animated "Crisis on Infinite Earths" trilogy. As such, it is for this reason (or at least, part of it) why the show was NOT renewed for a fifth season.

1) I've seen some confusion online about the ethnicity of Young Justice's Madame Xanadu; various websites assume her to be black (I assume because she's voiced by Cree Summer?), but in the comics she's Romani and her skin-tone, to me at least, looks far closer to a Romani person than a black person, so is she Romani, black or another ethnicity entirely?

2) On a similar note, is YJ's Dick Grayson Romani? At the time the show was originally in production his Romani heritage was established but only in one story from after you stopped regularly keeping up with comics (2001 I believe?), so I could totally understand it being accidentally skipped over during research at the time, but in the years since then they've started emphasising it more, and since the show's no stranger to implementing characters or concepts from after its creation into the show's lore in the revival era, I could see that happening here too

1) Since Champs Élysées is meant to be a homage to Lexington, do you consider him to also be gay?

2) This is admittedly a bit more of a stretch, but I figured it was worth asking anyway; since Antonia Rodriguez is a stand-in for Velma Dinkley in the world of Earth-16, and Velma has been repeatedly depicted as either a lesbian or bisexual in recent years, do you consider Antonia to be queer?

Hi Greg. I have some questions regarding comic Young Justice: Targets, specifically regarding the flashbacks regarding Perdita, Green Arrow, and Black Canary.

After Green Arrow defeats Merlyn, we see that Count Vertigo attacks them before getting taken down by Black Canary. According to the Earth-16 timeline, this took place right before the Injustice League reveal to the world and that Vertigo is obviously present as their field commander.

1a. Can you describe how Vertigo went from being defeated by Canary to being able to participate with the Injustice League in the YJ episode "Revelation"?

1b. Did Vertigo and Merlyn slip away without the heroes noticing or did they both somehow escape law enforcement custody?

1c. Could Perdita not prove Vertigo made an obvious attempt on her life and lose his diplomatic immunity sooner?

2. During the flashback arc, we see that Perdita's bodyguards, including Denny, are taken down by Vertigo's henchmen. Did any survive?

3. Are you willing to give insight into how long Ollie and Dinah were dating before he proposed to her?

So, I'm sure you probably already know this, but Matt Braly is a huge fan of Gargoyles to the point where it inspired him a lot when he was making his own show Amphibia. And he even included a sketch of Goliath in the episode True Colors.

So, I guess my question is this:

How do you feel about the theory that Gargoyles and Amphibia may share the same universe/multiverse?

Mean Giraffe writes...

So, don't answer this one if you don't want to, but considering Disney at least partially has the rights to Spider-Man, would you say that The Spectacular Spider-Man shares the same world as Gargoyles?
