Hey greg
I wanted to ask on why npbody cared about superboy's birthday besides Megan and Wendy.
Does he have close relationship with their team at all or they are just teammates?
Did superman ever went to his birthday parties?
Greg responds...
1. It wasn't about caring, it was about this MASSIVE distraction: ARTEMIS' DEATH. Look, I occasionally forget my good friends' birthdays even when I don't have a huge tragic excuse. So I think his friends can be forgiven for not celebrating in this case. Especially since in the past, M'gann set it up for them, and they were always given a reminder. Besides, you don't know what happened after that scene with Wendy. Others may have wished him a happy birthday later in the day. And finally, you also need to keep in mind that Superboy always claimed to HATE celebrating his birthday.
2. He's close with most of them, especially the ones he's known the longest, i.e. Dick, Wally, Artemis, Zatanna, Raquel, Mal, Karen, Garfield and Barbara. For obvious reasons, he and La'gaan aren't exactly good buddies, and there is likewise obvious tension these days between Conner and M'gann. But Conner gets along well with Tim, Cassie, Jaime and Bart; he just doesn't know them as well. He even gets along about as well with Roy (Red Arrow) as anyone. (And frankly, even the tension with La'gaan is, I think, exaggerated by the fandom. I don't think Conner and La'gaan dislike each other, so much as La'gaan feels like he must compete with Conner, and Conner still has issues with M'gann.)
3. Yes, always. But it's hard to do when you're on trial on Rimbor.

Hi Greg! I'm loving Young Justice so far. Season 2 looks like it's going to be really interesting. I've only got a few questions, most of them about La'gaan. I don't see why he gets so much hate. He's hilarious, and I'm very glad he'll be getting some more character development in the future.
1. How close were Kaldur and La'gaan back when they both lived in Atlantis?
2. What city-state is La'gaan from?
3. What do La'gaan's parents think about him working with the king on the surface? Are they proud?
Greg responds...
1. They were friends. Not best friends. Kaldur's best friend was Garth. La'gaan's is Blubber. But they were pretty good friends, when one takes the age difference into account.
2. I haven't nailed that down yet.
3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
GH writes...
Is Wally a Harry Potter fan?
Greg responds...
I'd think so.
GH writes...
What was Sportsmaster reaction when he knew his daughters were dating two 'good guys'? Does he dislike gingers now?
Greg responds...
1. Disgust, I'd imagine.
2. I have to say with a red-headed wife and two red-headed kids, this trend toward dissing "gingers" pisses me off.

In Players Chapter Three, we see Sphere go through a Zeta-tube, designated as 'Sphere, C-01'. I have some questions about the C designations.
1. What type of beings are the C desigs reserved for? Something like pets or non-human(/Martian/Kryptonian/etc)
2. Does Spere have to be... Well, a sphere... To use the Zeta-tube? Like, he couldn't go through in 'Super-Cycle' form?
3. Would it follow that Wolf's designation woulda be C-02?
Greg responds...
1. Pets, basically.
2. Depends on the size of the specific Zeta-Tube. Some are bigger than others.
3. It would follow, but that doesn't mean it's true. You'll have to wait and see.

I was watching an episode of Justice League a while ago; in it, Martians look vastly more humanoid in their natural forms than YJ's do.
If you haven't answered this already, would you mind telling what the design process was for the Martians' natural forms?
Thanks! And thanks for bring us this show; it's what got me back into superheroes.
Greg responds...
The designs were Phil Bourassa and Brandon Vietti's take on the White Martian source material. We just then applied it to ALL Martians. In short, we needed Miss M to look monstrous enough that we would understand her reluctance to reveal her true form.

In Players, Chapter Two, on the title page, a character can be seen between Grodd and Black Adam. This character is a yellowish color and looks to be slightly robotic. I can not identify this character. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If we will find out who this is through the actual storyline, feel free to disregard my message.
Thank you.
Greg responds...
Okay, for starters, every chapter has two title pages - one near the beginning and one at the end - but from context, I assume you're talking about the first. Secondly, there are also two characters between Grodd and Adam. One is Tommy Terror. But I assume you're talking about the other one. And I don't know the answer. You'd have to ask Chris Jones - and even then I might have to disagree.

Hello, Greg!
1. I know you've been asked about Bart's age several times, but something has been bothering me about the answers you gave, so I hope you'll forgive my asking about it again. Once you said that Impulse is 13 years old, making it sound like his thirteenth birthday has already passed. However, a more recent reply would imply that he hasn't turned 13 yet, as your reply was "Assuming he lives up to the end of Team Year Six, he'll be 13." Can you clarify this? It's caused quite a bit of confusion.
2. Is Wally still on good terms with his parents in Invasion?
3. The next two are rather silly, but I am really curious: What are Tim, Cassie and Gar's best subjects at school (I'm assuming that Tim and Cassie go to actual schools while Gar gets homeschooled by Snapper)?
4. Would you mind arranging the newer heroes [namely, Tim, Cassie, Gar, La'gaan, Jaime, Bart and Roy (Arsenal)] from shortest to tallest?
5. This question is partly inspired by the fact that Legacy is coming up. Do you have any opinion on video games as a monde of storytelling as compared to cartoons or comic books?
Thanks for your time. Invasion has been awesome so far (I don't think I've ever been so emotionally invested in a television so before) and I can't wait to see more!
Greg responds...
1. The thing you need to keep in mind is that with very few exceptions (only Superboy, Nightwing and Kid Flash come to mind), I haven't assigned actual birthdates to most characters. I know what year they were born in relative to Season One, a.k.a. Team Year Zero, but I don't have a month or a day for them. So I can only answer how old they are at the end of a given year, since in theory their birthdays could be anywhere from January 1st to December 31st. AND... I don't want to create spoilers by saying that such-and-such will be X years old at the end of the year, when that seems to imply that him or her will MAKE IT to the end of the year. I refuse to guarantee that. With Season One characters, I have it a touch easier. The Season is complete, so the audience knows who survived and who didn't. No spoilers involved. But Season Two characters are more difficult. Now, normally, I could just say that character Y was X years old just prior to the start of Season Two, i.e. just prior to episode 201, i.e. at the end of Team Year Five. But this creates a particular difficulty with Impulse, as he wasn't present in this era at the start of Season Two. So I can't use that trick. And again, I don't want - at this time - to nail down a specific date of birth (month and day). Since Bart didn't arrive in Team Year Six until February 28th - and since I don't know when his birthday is - I honestly don't know how old he is during Season Two. He might be twelve, or he might be thirteen. By the end of Team Year Six, he will definitely be thirteen - assuming he SURVIVES. And, again, I won't guarantee that. I hope that clears it up.
2. Yes, why?
3.Gar is homeschooled by <ahem> Mr. Carr. Anyway, I don't know. It's not that it's too silly for me to know. I just haven't given enough thought to it.
4. I don't have a size-comp handy, I'm afraid. But it seems clear to me that La'gaan is the tallest of that group and that Gar is the shortest. Bart is probably the second shortest. Jaime's probably the second tallest, but Tim and Cassie are about the same height. As for the original Roy... I just can't remember off the top of my head.
5. I have very little experience with video games. But my experience working with Sharon Scott and the folks at Little Orbit has been extremely positive, so I'm all for it when it's done right.

1. By the end of Season One, Mister Freeze is 50.
2. By the end of Season One, Amanda is 23.
3. By the end of Season One, Red Tornado is 62.

Do you have a twitter account? Do you know Brandon Vietti does?

2. Yes.

how do you describe yjwiki as a resource and fan site? what would you change/improve there?
Greg responds...
If you're talking about this site:
http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Young_Justice_Wiki
...then it seems pretty great to me.

From all the VAs, Jesse McCartney is arguably the most famous/popular. How is it to work with him?
Greg responds...
A pleasure.
Melbie writes...
I know by now the original members of the team all know Dick's identity, but do the newer members know?
Greg responds...
Some do, some don't.
Reiena Grayson writes...
I feel horrible post three back to back, but I forgot to include a link to an article I found when I was looking up stuff about the comic rumor.
When I first read about the comics ending, my research led me to: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/young-justice-comic-canceled-tv-show-implications.html
Greg responds...
I'd seen the article, but I still can't comment at this time.
Reiena Grayson writes...
I'm sorry to post back to back, but I notice a couple of mistakes.
The website is Fanfiction.net and I meant to say that I'd hate to see the series end.
Greg responds...
I got the gist, but thank you.
Reiena Grayson writes...
I was reading some stuff on fanficion.net and there is a rumor going around that the YJ tie-in comics will end after February. I have several online friends that are upset by this rumor, but so am I, YJ is the first series of comics ever that I started collecting and have every one so far. I'd have to see the series end after the five year gap is filled in. Please, if you can, is there any truth to this rumor or is it just that, a rumor.
Greg responds...
No comment.

What is Black Lightning's civilian identity?
Greg responds...
What are my options?
Khayyaam writes...
Hey Greg. I'm wondering if you've seen Arrow, the recent Live-Action series about Oliver Queen. Personally, I liked it a lot, especially with the focus on the character's civillian identity rather than his antics as a vigilante.
If you've seen it, what did you think? Did you like some of the ideas they had?
And I know you're a fan of Black Canary, which is also why I asked, since Laurel Lance is a major supporting character. Did you like what they did with her?
Thanks for taking the time to ask all these questions!
Greg responds...
I haven't seen it.
Connor writes...
Hi Greg! I wanted to ask about your methods of storytelling. For adapted shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice, you seem to have planned out certain events and arcs in advance and seem to include nothing if you aren't going to follow up on it later. Do you have a personal set of rules or guidelines for when you work on projects like these?
Greg responds...
It's no different on any project. We try to plan as much in advance as possible, while still leaving ourselves open to discoveries along the way.

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,
I saw that Disney.com is streaming the complete series of Gargoyles after such a long time of being off the air. As a result I wanted to ask if this meant we might be getting another Gargoyle comic series? Or some form of continuation in the near future? Hopefully with you being a part of it (if it happens)
I also wanted to say thank you for all the work you've done over the years with Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H, Gargoyles and Young Justice.
Greg responds...
You're welcome.
I don't see how the two things are connected. I'd always love to do more Gargoyles though - in any medium.
Esteban writes...
Hey Greg, I have a question regarding Young Justice.
We all know that Superman and Batman are allies and such but there are some works that treat their relationship differently. In your take with Young Justice are they best friends or just respected teammates? I know they have some type of kind relationship sense they talked to each other at a restaurant.
Greg responds...
They're good friends.
Nerd1001 writes...
When I was watching W.I.T.C.H., I always wondered one thing. Does Mr.Huggles have some sort of increased intelligence when he's in his Regent form? Normally, he's just a regular dormouse. Napoleon was already magically enhanced, so does the same apply to Huggles so he understands when to regent up?
Greg responds...
Sure.
David writes...
How old is Black Lightning in Season 2.
Greg responds...

22. Black Lightning
23. Guy Gardner
24. Blue Beetle
25. Zatanna

Greg responds...
Let's start with this:
Why would I confirm or deny this?
Why should I confirm or deny this?
I've already stated - more than once - that I wasn't going to reveal designations but let the revelations flow naturally from the series and comics (and the video game).
Why would I change my mind now when we still have plenty more episodes and issues (and the game) still to come?
The whole thing is a SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I've browsed through the archives and didn't come across a question like this but apologize if I did miss something simliar to this question that has been previously answered.
Do gargoyles ever mate just for the sake of being intimate with their mate and receiving pleasure or do they usually just mate when it comes time for reproduction?
Greg responds...
The former. (And did you check the "Gargoyle Biology" section of the ASK GREG archives? I find it hard to believe it wasn't answered there.)
