1)Since Superboy is only half-Kryptonian, is he less vulnerable to Kryptonite than Superman?
2)Speaking of Kryptonite, how rare it is on Earth-16?

Hi Greg. I just wanted to say that I know how frustrating it can be working on a show that draws from so many years of comic book mythology and has so many diehard fans. You can't please everyone and those who are not pleased seem to be the most vocal. That being said... Young Justice is AMAZING. You have managed to make so many characters in the DC Universe (or is that Nation?) that I once thought of as superfluous or one-dimensional... utterly fascinating. Auld Acquaintance was an amazing ending for the first season and I can not wait for Young Justice Invasion. As I said, I know some people aren't pleased with things like Zatanna being young enough to be on the Team , the addition of Icon and Rocket or there being 3 Green Lanterns on Earth simultaneously, etc. But DC (like Marvel) exists in a Multiverse and this is YOUR reality. The rest of us are lucky enough to get a peek at it. So... get on board or get out of the way!

My question is about Aquaman...now I have never been oneof those "Aquaman's powers are lame" guys (in fact I contantly chastise my nephew for saying so), and I have been an avid advocate of not giving him the old Superfriends "water bolt" power in the comics...simply because it didnt make any sence given what was already estabolished about the charicter & Atlantis
My question is...why havent you given him this power in your show...now it seems to make less sence not to. If some or most Atlantians can use "hard water" magic, why cant he know just that one "trick," so to speak?

How does it feel to be working with Tim Curry again?

Why do you enjoy making the fandom explode?
That's it and you're awesome!

What was Robbie planning to do after Castle Wyvern was to have become the gargoyles' property? Live with them? Go off on his own? Somehow I doubt that sticking with Hakon was what he had in mind. Would he still have been a party to the ransom of Princess Katharine no matter what, or was that only a hasty Plan B after the clan was destroyed?

I know that you're not into "hypothetical" questions, so to speak, but it seems reasonable that Robbie would have had planned himself some sort of future following the attack. Did we see his plans play out, or was he made to change them following the massacre instead?

First of all, let me say that how much I have always enjoyed Gargoyles. It was a high point of the afternoon for my younger brothers and me during the original run (while our mother enjoyed having a half hour relatively free of sibling squabbles), and now I'm having a lot of fun introducing the show to my 4-year-old son. So, you see, your show has multi-generational appeal! Thank you for all your hard work and vision.

Secondly, I guess my question is about your writing process. I recently discovered via this site your ideas for the prospective Gargoyles spin-offs. This suggests to me that you write with a, for lack of a better term, "master plan" in mind. Unlike, say, David Milch, who famously writes and re-writes furiously as new ideas occur to him, and actually plans out very little.

1)Would you say this is accurate?
2)If so, do you ever deviate from this plan, if a new and different idea strikes you?
3)Again if so, would you mind providing an example? (A Gargoyles show example would be just fine, I'm not asking for spin-off spoilers here!)

Thank you in advance for your time.

In REvelation, when Artemis said "I feel naked, and not in a fun way." what did that mean exactly? Oh, and in Bereft, when Kid Flash woke Artemis up, he said something about a 10 foot thing. What was that supposed to mean?

First off, I dearly love the show; I've stuck with it ever since January of last year, and I'm really glad I did! Liking the characterizations, the shoutouts and in-jokes and other little details put in there to show that, yeah, you and your guys think about all of this and enjoy your work. And I gotta say that my favorite ship is Wally and Artemis, so I'm pleased with developments there and looking forward to seeing where it goes!

But this is a question site, and I do have some serious questions, mostly on Zeta-Beams, the Watchtower and other Space Tech, being a big space and sci-fi geek:

1. First off, who invented the Zeta-beam tech that's so omnipresent in the series? Is it a native Earth development or an alien import?

1a. After invention comes development: who built the Zeta-beam network (almost certainly WayneCorp, but just checking)?

2. Since there's a usable and practical teleportation system available in the setting, is there any non-hero use of the system (or potential plans to open the system to civilian use)? If not, is there some aspect to the system (like high energy costs) that makes it cost-prohibitive on a mass scale? Or does the Justice League prefer to keep the competitive advantage to themselves?

3. Next up, the Watchtower; gotta start with the basics here: How do people--especially Earth-based astronomers--*miss* seeing an orbiting station the size of a major office building?

4. Assuming that they don't miss it, that argues that the Watchtower isn't alone up there; has Earth-16 started developing a space industry (like we're doing now, with the new company Planetary Resources) with space stations, asteroid mining, solar energy stations, etc.?

4a. And given that energy costs for launchers are the primary prohibiting factors in orbital development and that there are many heroes capable of orbital lifts (Superman, Capt. Marvel, the Green Lanterns, just for starters), has NASA and other organizations and companies asked them for help in getting things to orbit? (Several millions dollars for a one-use rocket that could explode if someone did the math just a little bit wrong, or a nice but smaller check for the Justice League... hmm... decisions, decisions... :) )

And that's it for my questions; I want to say thanks to you for taking the time to look them over and maybe answer them (I recognize that they're a bit oddball compared to your usual fare :D )

Hi, Greg. I have two hopefully-non-spoiler questions for you regarding Zatanna:

(1) Is she a vegetarian on Earth-16?
(2) Is she or has she considered becoming a Dianic Wiccan on Earth-16?

I'm mainly curious because these were two relatively small, but still meaningful aspects of her character in the comics that I thought would be interesting if they carried over into a story of her teenage years.
