Who is more powerful in terms of Atlantean sorcery at the start of Team Year Six: Aqualad or Tempest (assuming that Tempest is still alive)?

Greg responds...

Sorcery? Tempest, by far. Not even a contest.

First, let apologize if this question has already been asked or answered. Secondly, there was a problem with my laptop. Hence if this question was asked twice it was not out of ignorance. I have looked through the archives of answered and unanswered questions. I have not seen this question asked. I am not presuming it has not been asked but explaining that I did not see rhat my question was asked.

My question deals with Superboy and Lex Luthor. I am not asking about any plans involving them, or the future of the show. I would simply like to know if Lex Luthor cares about Superboy. I am not going to assume that he is 100% emotionally attached to him. It is just that, when it was revealed that Superboy is half-human Luthor referred to him as his son. Luthor even points out, seemingly with pride, that they are alot alike.In "Usual Suspects" Lex claims he is proud of Superboy for deceiving him. Whether this pride is true or not is another matter I know. In "The Hunt" Lex Luthor has the father-box tied into Superboy's DNA. In "Intervention" Vandal Savage says killing Superboy may be a problem that they will deal with later.

All the points mentioned above have made me wonder if Lex considers Connor his son, or cares about him to an extent. I do not deny that I may have misunderstood, misremembered, and inadvertently distorted the facts. I also admit my interpretation may be biased. In the comics I know at certain points, Lex has considered Superboy his son. I also admit that perhaps the concept of Thailog and Goliath's relationship may be playing in my mind. I understand he may merely want Connor on his side due to his abilities. It is also logical he may only be hinting at paternal feelings to get Connor to side with him. I also understand that Lex may have programmed the father box with his DNA because Conner's was the only DNA he has access to. I also understand Vandal may have meant that killing Superboy would be hard due to his powers. On the latter point, it just seemed that in the context of the show he was not talking about his abilities. I could have sworn that Vandal Savage said something along the lines of "We'll deal with that situation after everyone has been dealt with." It seemed to me that the fact he was killed at all would pose a problem

I just thought because of the points above and the fact that they are genetically father and son Luthor might care about Superboy. Even if Luthor does I am not presuming it makes him more moral. I would not even presume his care for Superboy could be or is strong. I just felt it would give me a better understanding of Connor, Lex, and the show if I asked. Thank you for your time and have a lovely day

Greg responds...

Luthor, in his way, cares a great deal.

First of all thank you so much for everything you have done with Young Justice. The show is absolutely brillinat, and I can't even fathom why the show may be ending after the Invasion. I just watched Summit and my mind was blown. The episode was absolutely incredibly. But I have a couple of questions regarding the actions of the Light.

You have previously stated that there is trust and shared goals between the members of the Light. You've also said that with the Light "everything is on the table". As wonderful as Summit was I a bit surprised that Klarion and Vandal left 3 of their co-conspirators to fend for themselves. Could just explain their motivation behind that?

Greg responds...

They had faith in those three to deal with the situation at hand - which NEEDED dealing with. Meanwhile, Vandal had other things that needed dealing with. Klarion was his wheel-man.

How did Kaldur's betrayal go down? I know Nightwing planned it and told him, but how did it look to the rest of the team? Like did he turn on them in the middle of a mission or did he "retire" like Wally and Artemis and then turn up serving Manta?

Greg responds...

SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Although one of the assumptions in your question is incorrect.

How much input do the head guys at DC or other workers influence what characters are in the cast of YJ? For example, is it frequent for them to say 'we want this character the show', regardless of the story being told?

Greg responds...

No.

At the beginning of the serious development for each season there were discussions, but never any mandates.

Why was Bart so nonchalant in the grotto when some of the others were mourning Artemis?

Greg responds...

Many reasons, including (but not limited to):

1. He didn't really know Artemis.

2. Death was a VERY commonplace thing for him in the future he came from.

3. Death makes him hungry.

in "The Hunt", when Nightwing said of Arsenal that, "This isn't the first time he's pulled this kind of stunt", was referring solely to what happened in "True Colors", or was he referring (partially) to something that happened off-screen (like another adventure where Arsenal did something reckless)?

Greg responds...

"True Colors".

Hi Greg,

I am loving the run to the finale.

My question pertains to Red Volcano's habit of calling people "meatbags". Did you or the writers come up with that independently, or is it more of a reference to other media such as Bender in Futurama or HK-47 in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?

I associate the term with HK-47 because he's a red-armoured droid assassin, but Bender is probably more widely-known (even though he doesn't use the term that often). So I'm just curious if it was a parallel invention, or a reference!

Greg responds...

Well, not the latter, since I was - at the time - completely unfamiliar with that. Bender probably was an unconscious influence though.

1. Can you please explain the concept of freeze-dried Chicken Whizees?

2. Can you please explain the significance of choosing freeze-dried Chicken Whizees for Bart to steal from Jaime's locker?

Greg responds...

1. They're Chicken Whizees that have been freeze-dried.

2. As opposed to?

Seeing your respond of which characters you considered were the protagonists of Invation I want to ask; whos idea was to make Blue Beetle a protagonists, and why? I would have liked to see more of the Light than the Reach, hopefully I'll get that in Summit...hopefully.

Greg responds...

Blue Beetle as a protagonist had a lot to do, obviously, with the Reach being the major alien antagonist. I credit Mike Carlin with that notion, but keep in mind, even if we had NOT chosen the Reach, we would have chosen SOME alien race or races to be our primary alien villains for the season, so the percentage of Reach to Light probably wouldn't have changed much. And by using the Reach, it became VERY personal for at least one of our characters, i.e. Blue Beetle. I doubt we could have gotten that from any other alien race save the Martians. And we have other, very specific plans for the Martians.
