I have a couple questions about your version of the Joker...
1)Usually, the origin of the Joker is a mistery to anyone, including himself. But you said that you create backstories pretty much for all your characters, even if you don't necessarely put them in the show. So, the question is: have you created an origin for the YJ Joker, or did you just stick with the "total mistery" thing (of course, if you DID create an origin, I'm not asking you to spoil it here).
2)In Revelation, the Joker claims to have multiple personalities. Was that a reference to his multiple origins?
Greg responds...
1. Red Hood.
2. If you like.
TheTavarse writes...
Not a question, but a declaration. In a perfect world there would be four clones of you. Original recipe Weisman to executive produce Young Justice, Clone-1 to write the comic, Clones 2 & 3 to executive produce the Arrow and Aqua family animated series and Clone-4 to write the web comic "Suoveihcsim" staring Rocket, Artemis, and Zatanna during the 5 year gap. Seriously, where's Dr. Desmond when you need him?
Greg responds...
What you really need isn't more of me so much as corporate sponsorship for all the things you - and I - might like to see.
Anon writes...
Why did Artemis choose the bow and arrow as her weapon of choice?
Greg responds...
She excelled at it. Sportsmaster pushed her that way. It suited her name. She admired Green Arrow and Speedy from a distance. Take your pick.
Anonymous writes...
What was it like when Artemis first met Wally's family, and well do they get along?
Greg responds...
I'm not going to tell a story here, but all in all they all get along great.
Anon writes...
I really love the Wally/Artemis in the show, and I was wondering who came up with the idea for it and how was it developed
Greg responds...
Brandon and Kevin and I came up with the idea, I guess. And you've pretty much seen how it developed on the show.
Anon writes...
Do you consider Artemis a member of the Arrow family?
Greg responds...
Sure. She does. And they do. Though these concepts are more amorphous than I think the fans credit. Black Canary is part of the "Arrow" family too, I guess, but it's almost insulting to her to label it that way, as if she doesn't deserve billing. And etc.
Ann writes...
I just have one question.
In the Young Justice ep. Coldhearted, why does Wally say "lucky stiff?" That seems to be a little bit old fashioned for a teen to say that.
Is there a reason why he knows that type of slang?
Greg responds...
I guess cuz the writers and I know it.
Though honestly, it doesn't seem hard for me to believe that a teen would have heard the expression. For example, on "Young Justice".
btgr writes...
In YJ did you based Wade Eiling on disgraced US Marine Lieutenant Colonel "Oliver North"?
Greg responds...
No. We based him on Wade Eiling from the Captain Atom comic book that Cary Bates and I wrote in the 80s and early 90s. And Eiling was loosely modeled on Captain Kirk.
Thomas writes...
I notice that with Gargoyles you have given so much information that fleshed their world. Can you give information for the Young Justice Wiki on Kryptonians, Thanagarians, Amazons, Atlanteans, Termians and other races to give the world more dimnension?
Nothing major, spoilerish. Just fleshing material
Greg responds...
NO. Most of the Gargoyles "flesh" is either (a) from the canon, which had 65 canon episodes and 18 canon comic book issues or (b) info given LONG after the show was done producing new episodes and/or (c) stuff I regret having revealed.
If and when the series ends (in all its forms and media), I may consider being more forthcoming. But I may not. Ideas minus execution are open to second-guessing that just isn't any fun. (Well, not for me, anyway.) And if Gargoyles has proven anything, it's that you never know when you'll get another shot at it, and so some secrets are better left kept.
Tupka writes...
So, we're back, and how. Loved it, though I'm curious who Raquel's marrying. Noble? Is Amistad his?
I can ask a lot more about Satisfaction or the recent comics, but everyone will have those. So instead, I'll just do some questions on obscurity of characters.
1. Amber Joyce - If I've done my research correctly, she was a blonde actress with precognitive powers. What made you decide to use her as a pilot rather than someone else who has a more fitting background (like, say, Deanna Barr or Celia Forrestal or something?)
2. Jeremiah - was your choice to go for him instead of (for example) Starshine Stone a matter of personal favoritism, SPOILER REQUEST, or did the availability of male and female voice ranges for the episode play a role?
3. Jeremiah and Noor Harjavti both had their only comic appearance in the same issue. The same goes for Singh Mahn Lee and the nation of Bwunda. Was it deliberate, coincidence, or did you/your staff/your researcher just came across one in search of the other and thought "We can use this"?
4. You mentioned in an earlier answer you included a WildStorm character, but in such a way that the legal department wouldn't recognize it. You're obviously not going to tell us who you were talking about, but can you point in a general direction (Gen 13? Authority? StormWatch? Tranquility?)
Greg responds...
Rocket questions are all spoilers.
1. I was combining her with another Amber. Plus I wanted the name Amber for its association with an Amber Alert, since the whole episode was one big Amber Alert.
2. Personal preference. Sometimes the more obscure the character, the more fun it is for me.
3. Noor and Jeremiah were both characters I created, so I was familiar with them. As for the other examples, both ce courtesy of master DC researcher John Wells.
4. I gave a hint already tonight.
YJ Wiki editor writes...
Previously you've stated that Blue Devil was 25 (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=14743), but more recently you said that he's 26 (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=15672). Was this an oversight or did you just change your mind/update your timeline?
The same goes for Serling Roquette (originally 22, http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=14763) and Wildcat (91)
Greg responds...
At the end of Season One:
Ted Cassidy - 25
Ted Grant - 91
Serling Roquette - 22
I can't explain the error. I must have been looking at the wrong year on my timeline - but in my defense, those questions were ASKED AND ANSWERED. If they hadn't been asked a second time, I wouldn't have messed up.
Kevin writes...
1. Why are there sorcerers and wizards if there is no difference between them?
2. Are Lords of Order and Chaos the strongest type of magic users on Earth 16?
3. Do the hosts of Nabu become stronger magically the longer they are Doctor Fate?
4. How long has Nabu been active as Doctor Fate?
5. Has Klarion ever consider inhabited a host body like Nabu does?
Greg responds...
1. Why are there janitors and custodians?
2. Pretty much.
3. I'm not sure what "stronger magically" means to you.
4. Millennia.
5. I wouldn't put anything past him.
Someone writes...
How do you feel over the names people give the couples on young justice? For example Chalant for Dick/Zatanna, Birdflash for Wally/Dick? Awesome show ^.^
Greg responds...
I really have no opinion on that.
Christine writes...
Thank you for young justice. Not only did it get me into DC comics, but also I now have a best friend thanks to our mutual love of YJ.
I also have a question though:
Why do a lot of important events happen in New Orleans? As a native New Orleanian, I love it. Was that a choice that was just a happenstance, a love of the city on your part, a secret alien base as yet undisclosed, a magic base that is actually the center of earth-16?(or is it simply because having fights in the float factory is an opportunity one should never pass up?)
Greg responds...
I have a fondness for the city that dates back pre-Katrina. But it also has some nice settings for battle, and more importantly is - from a DC Universe standpoint - close to Belle Reve Prison. Throw in the fact, that we like to reuse locations to save money, and you begin to see why we return not just to New Orleans, but to many places.
Of course, the funny thing is, my daughter now lives in New Orleans. But she didn't when we started the show, and I had no idea she was going to move there when we first put it into YJ.

What are the designation numbers of Wolf and the sphere?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
Irenerb writes...
Love the show! B)
1) what is sportsmaster origin? How did he become who is today?
2) what county is sportsmaster? His nationality?
3) how old was sportsmaster and Paula when they first meet?
Thanks and the show is awesome B)
Greg responds...
1. I don't use this forum to tell entire stories.
2. County? Did you mean country? Anyway, he's American, born and raised in Gotham City.
3. I haven't nailed down a precise year for when they met.
Lorisa214 writes...
1) How old were Artemis & Jade when Jade ran away?
2) And how old where they when their mom got caught/sent to jail (did it take a year for her to be convicted?)
Greg responds...
1. Jade was 13. Artemis was nine.
2. The same.
2a. She plea-bargained.
Kevin writes...
1. What are the blue crystals in the Blockbuster formula?
2. Why did the Light use Kobra Venom on Poison Ivy's plants instead of the Blockbuster formula?
3. Would the Blockbuster formula have a different effect on Mr. Tawny, Wolf, or the other animals in India?
4. Was Rex the Wonder Dog an inspiration for Wolf?
Greg responds...
1. Don't know. But they look cool, don't they?
2. Kobra-Venom combines Blockbuster with Venom. It's more stable.
3. Yes. It reduces intelligence.
4. One of many, perhaps. But way down the line behind Krypto and Wolf.
Kevin writes...
1. How long does the Parasite have access to someone's powers and abilities?
2. How long does it take for someone to get their abilities after the Parasite takes them? Do aliens have a quicker recovery time?
3. Why did you decide for the Parasite's absorption ability not to have energy effects like he has in other animated incarnations?
4. Why does Red Arrow have different re-curve bows?
5. What were the alter egos of the team the Dangers based on?
Greg responds...
1. It's relatively brief.
2. A few hours to one degree or another.
2a. Apparently not.
3. I don't know what you're referring to.
4. Different from what?
5. What makes you think they were based on anything?
Anonymous writes...
At what age did Sportsmaster start training Artemis?
Greg responds...
From birth, in his mind.
Curious writes...
I wanted to ask three related questions if it is not to much trouble.
1. What exactly are the 'lords of order and chaos'? I couldn't really find much information on them (plus this being your universe artistic license could easily rewrite their purpose) and I am curious since two of the characters (Nabu/doctor fate and Klarion) fall into this catagory.
2. What made you decide to make Klarion a lord of chaos? Initially he was a young witch boy from another dimension who happened to be versed in magic (and more than a little bit of a nasty streak) and in a later incarnation he was a rebellious kid from limbo town (witch city under gotham) with a confusingly grey moral chompass.
So I am sorta curious what made you decide to go in the direction of 'lord of chaos' for the Klarion character.
3. If Teekl is Klarions connection to the mortal plain then does that make her Klarion's equivalent to Nabu's helmet of doctor fate?
I appologize if one or more of these questions could be considered spoilers but from looking around, few people have bothered to ask anything in regards to this very interesting character.
Greg responds...
1. I think the terms are fairly self-explanatory. They are personifications of two natural mystic forces in the universe.
2. Clarity, Consistency, Coherence.
3. Yes. In a way.
Someone Not Really Important writes...
please answer my question, and please do not answer my question with another question
In some questions, people asked if we'll see the league's reaction to Robin fighting crime.
In Agendas, we saw that Wonder Woman did not approve of this.
Was the 'spoiler alert'? and if so, is it only a small part of it?
Greg responds...
In "Agendas", you did NOT see that Wonder Woman does not approve of Robin fighting crime. LOOK AGAIN.
And I'd love to answer your question - really. But I honestly do not understand it:
"Was the 'spoiler alert'? and if so, is it only a small part of it?"
What does that mean?!
You went to a lot of trouble to preamble this question with a lot of pleases, etc., and then didn't take the time or trouble to clearly state - or even proofread - your question.
So... sorry. But I can't answer it.
Angela writes...
How is wonder woman able to stay immortal? In the comics she can't age only when she is on paradise island.
Greg responds...
Exactly.
Shatter writes...
What Math class is Dick in, in season 1?
Greg responds...
I dunno.
Kittygirl56 writes...
Hi! I'm a big fan of Young Justice! and I have a few questions(well,opinon questions,but a question is a question.)Thank you.
1.Why is Kid Flash considerably slower than Flash?
2.Out of the 4 pairings that were created in the first season,which one was your favorite?
3.If Wolf and Sphere(In super-cycle mode)were to travel the entire way around the earth, which one would win?
4.If you had to choose a battle between the season 1 team,who would fight who?
5.Name your favorite line from Young justice.
Greg responds...
1. It has to do with the nature of their different origins on Earth-16.
2. Do you mean romantic pairings? I don't have a favorite.
3. You mean in a race? Sphere. By a lot.
4. What?
5. I'm not sure I have just one. Maybe, "Dude, that's your sister!"
