If Vandal Savage was the father of Nabu, then why has Nabu not mentioned this relationship to anyone? Also, has Nabu ever encountered Vandal Savage again at any point between his death and the present day?

Greg responds...

1. How do you know he hasn't?

2. Inevitably, yes.

In known history, Genghis Khan began the seeds if his empire due to his family connections via his father's clan. Given Vandal Savage of course didnt have a mongol chief as his dad, how did he start the start of his empire?

Greg responds...

He might have had a mongol chief as his adoptive father/blood-brother.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your work and Gargoyles, it gave a mature 13-year old kid a great show to watch and escape with when his world around him was falling apart.

I wanted to ask you about Goliath and his character ARC. he's such a complex character who spends so much time in grief and, carrying burdens from his past balancing good and evil, broken hearts and forbidden romances, an evolution of "Clan" and family.

Season three opened all of these new possibilities with new clans popping up all over the world after Avalon, and so my Question is, What would it take for Goliath to get his happy ending? Was there ever a plan to really wrap up Gargoyles, because the universe really is so deep and expansive everyone could have gotten 10 episodes plus about their own struggles and triumphs.

I even got to read Brooklyn's Comic Arc from "Clan Building" by Greg Weisman, and had even more love for what could have been! Thank you for answering if you get the chance!

Greg responds...

I think you're referring to Season Two having "opened all of these new possibilities with new clans popping up all over the world".

There is no plan to wrap Gargoyles forever. I don't do final endings. But that doesn't mean I don't have an end to Goliath's story in mind. But revealing whether it's a happy ending or not, would a spoiler.

Glad you liked the show and the companion comic!

Sorry if this was asked, but is it fair to assume that many, MANY children died as a result of Klarion's spell in misplaced? It's been years since I've watched the episode, but I don't recall any reaction to a tragedy of such scope being depicted.

Greg responds...

I imagine some did die. I guess it depends on how you define "many, MANY". But ANY children dying constitutes a tragedy.

1. Why did Vandal Savage invited Ocean Master to the Light what did Ocean Master have to bring to the table?

2. Why did Ocean Master agreed to joining the Light?

3. Was Ocean Master friends with any members of the Light?

4. On Earth-16 did Ocean Master had any racism towards Surface Dwellers?

Greg responds...

1. The potential of ruling 3/4ths of the globe.

2. He was a like-minded soul, who looked forward to the Light helping him to achieve his goal.

3. Sure.

4. Latent, maybe. That wasn't a big issue for our version. Even his Purist pretentions were only that.

I have a lot of questions. My first question is: How was your first day working here?

Thank you for your time!!

Your sincerly,
Laura

Greg responds...

Working... where?

I'm sorry. I know English isn't your first language - though you're doing better than I would do at ANY other language, but I don't know which series you're referring to. Or whether you're talking about ASK GREG.

Hello Greg, first--I hope you don't get tired of hearing this--but I just wanted to say I love your work: Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, they're all awesome!

If it's alright, I had a few questions about the Sword of Beowulf from the YJ episode "Secrets" which kind of tie into each other.

1. Did Beowulf forge the sword or did he find it?
2. Whose arm makes up the scabbard of the sword? I assume Grendel but I want to be sure.
3. The moral implications of using an arm for a scabbard are a little... iffy. Was the Beowulf of the Young Justice pure "good" of heart?
4. Was the "purity of heart" requirement based on whether the sword believed someone was pure of heart or if the person wielding it considered themselves pure of heart? Like, as a hypothetical, could a person who deluded themselves into thinking they're a purely good person, despite doing objectively evil deeds, still use the sword's power?

Thank you for your time!

Greg responds...

First off: THANKS!

1. The legend isn't clear on that point.

2. Potentially.

3. The legend says he was "pure of heart" only.

4. Well, given what happened with Harm, I'll leave that to your interpretation.

So Deathstroke, Ultra-Humanite, and Lady Shiva are officially members of the Light, but what are there designation numbers?

Greg responds...

Lady Shiva is their enforcer, taking Sportsmaster and Deathstroke's place. She's not a member of the Light.

The Light doesn't use designations the way the League and the Team do.

Hi.
I just watched Young Justice Outsiders episode 4 and was wondering if the scene with Superboy & Brion fixing that bike was inspired by the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig?

Greg responds...

To a degree, yes. Maybe influenced is a better word than inspired?

We now know that Troia is Troia's given name, per the UN, as you pointed out on your Twitter. Given that you once referred to her as "the Earth-16 Donna Troy" (in an answer where you said ""But the short answer is that the Earth-16 Donna Troy was TROIA. Never Wonder Girl""), is Donna Troy an alias she has used in civilian life (like Wonder Woman's Diana Prince during WWII), or did you just mean she is the Earth-16 equivalent of Donna Troy?

Greg responds...

I meant the latter. Doesn't preclude the former, though that would be a spoiler.

I bought a DCU membership soley for YJ, but since there's a number of shows available on the platform I decided to start watching Batman Beyond too (i'm 3 episodes in, but so far so good)

(1) Do you have a favorite episode/moment that you liked from Batman Beyond?

(2) Thoughts on Terry McGinnis?

Greg responds...

1. I only ever watched the pilot. And that was when it first came out.

2. I'm just not that familiar with the character.

In https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=22687, where Mo asked "I just rewatched spectacular spiderman and I feel there were a few bits inspired by the Rami trilogy, is that true?" and you said "Since I don't know what the Rami trilogy is, I'm gonna say no.", they must have been referring to the original trilogy of Spider-Man films starring Tobey Maguire and directed by Sam Raimi. The Raimi trilogy.

Greg responds...

Oh, I get it. In that case, the answer is definitely yes. Sorry I misunderstood.

Hi Greg. Thanks for all the work you, Brandon, Phil, and many others put into making a third season of Young Justice. I've been very impressed and can't wait for more episodes!

Q: We see that M'Gann faced oppression as a white Martian by greens, but since they're all shapeshifters, is it possible for them to change form so that they resemble a green Martian, or would other Martians see through that?

Thank you!

Greg responds...

As we established back in Season One, since Martians are all psychic, changing shape doesn't fool them.

Hey, Greig, first, big fan of the show, the comic and the game. I love this universe and it always fill me with joy when it expands. And I love that we finally got season 3.
Now my question is about Traci Thurston aka Thirteen
1) How old is she?
2) I know she’s based on Traci 13, but is she also based on Jinx from Teen Titans as well, given she has magical bad luck
3) Is she dating Blue Beetle, or will she start dating Blue in the series? (I loved their relationship in the comics, before the New 52, and I know in Rebirth she was made into an LGBT character, but I always prefer Traci with Jaime)

Greg responds...

1. At the END of TEAM YEAR NINE, Traci is 17.

2. I'm not that familiar with Jinx. So that wasn't in my head. Maybe it was in Brandon's.

3. They're dating throughout Season Three, which doesn't meant she isn't LGBTQ+.

Hey Greg!
I had a few questions regarding Bette Kane and the Kane family:

1. Is Martha Wayne's maiden name is still Kane in this universe?

2. Would Bette be from the same Kane family as Martha, or is that all just a big coincidence?

3. If #2 is a yes, does that mean that Bette has a cousin named Kate somewhere out there in Gotham?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. They're related.

3. They're related.
