1. In Misplaced I noticed that Wotan's magic was red when it was orange in Revelation. Not to nitpick but was he harnessing the power of chaos instead of the magic he normally uses?
2. When Martian Manhunter uses telekinesis to enhance his strength is he the same level as some of the heavy hitters of the league or is he closer to Aquaman's strength level? I don't like to ask who is stronger then who I am just trying to find out what is Aquaman's combat prowess in the league is.
3. What were the Pentagram symbols in Misplaced based on?

Greg responds...

1. Don't ask the color deficient guy.

2. Combat prowess and raw strength are two different things. Superman's the strongest of the Leaguers. Icon, Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman are up there. Aquaman and a telekinetically enhanced Martian Manhunter and a Quantum-energized Captain Atom are close. I'd put Red Tornado, Hawkman and Hawkwoman just behind them. Neither Flash nor Plastic Man nor Zatanna nor Atom have super-strength, but their powers can sometimes give them more oomph. At the "bottom" are folks like Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Rocket, though of course, they're all way stronger because of their training than the average human being. And of course, you have the Green Lanterns, who can use willpower and rings to mimic strength too - and maybe even top Superman when they're on their game. Same - in his own way - with Doctor Fate. I think that covers the whole League.

3. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I am really off my game in asking questions or writing them anyway. Why is it that when Wotan casts magic some of it is nonverbal and other times he uses Latin to cast them?(SUCCESS!) For example in Revelation he summons lightning against the team without speaking, but when he fights Doctor Fate he uses several incantations.

Greg responds...

Actually, Wotan did speak to summon the lightning in Revelations, using the Archmage's old spell, in fact.

But in any case, Wotan has many tools in his toolbox.

I forget to include a question mark on the last post,I try to write proper English so writing a declarative statement on site where you ask questions is quite embarrassing.
But since I do not want to waste your time are the terms magic/sorcery used in your shows different from each other or are they just the same thing.

Greg responds...

I think of magic as the substance and sorcery as the manipulation of that substance. But I'm not sure if we've been terribly consistent about it. (And you forgot a question mark again.) ;)

Hey,
Just wanted to put it out there. I thought it interesting that although Zatanna and Zatara are probably Catholic, they practice magic. If you want to get technical, the Catholic Church is against the use of magic. (I am Catholic)
But I know this is a fictional story, so the rules can probably be bent a bit :)
Keep up the good work! Love the series!

Greg responds...

I know a LOT of Catholics who consider themselves Catholic but don't follow EVERY tenant of the religion. (For that matter, I'm a Jew that doesn't follow many tenants of MY religion.) It doesn't have to be a 'fictional story' for that.

First, I just have to say this is most definitely the best DCAU show since Justice League Unlimited finished. There's something in it for everybody; there's just two questions I've got for you...

1) Is Wally eventually going to learn to be more imaginative with his powers? When they amount to being able to "Run really, really fast", it's really easy for him to turn into just another comic relief.

On another note, I really like what you're doing so far with Superman being extremely awkward around Superboy and so far being a terrible role model... it kind-of really fits him, IMO. And, on a related note to that, my second question: Are we ever going to see the Kents in this show?

Greg responds...

Technically, we're not part of what most fans consider the DCAU, but thanks.

What is the color of Rocket's powers? Is it blue or pink? Cause in Revelation it was pink and misplaced it was blue. I know weird question

Greg responds...

I don't know. I myself am Red-Green color deficient, so I'm not the best person to answer color questions.
