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.
Laura writes...
Dear Greg,
You are really amazing!! I love how you have all made this! Sorry for my bad English, because I come from the Netherlands and english is not my mother launguage. Sorry.
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.

Just wondering, is the Owings Mills in young justice 3x09 the same from Owings Mills, MD?
Greg responds...
The Earth-16 version, yes.

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.

How old is Lois Lane?
How old is Jon Kent?
How old is Red Tornado’s daughter?
Is Red Tornado’s daughter Traya Sutton?
How old is Lady Shiva?
Greg responds...
Red Tornado's daughter is Traya Smith.
As of the END of TEAM YEAR EIGHT...
Lady Shiva is 37.
Lois Lane is 36.
Traya Smith is 11.
Jonny Kent is 1.
Nick writes...
Great episodes this week!
How old is Livewire?
How old is Mist?
How old is Shade?
How old is Mad Hatter?
How old is Simon Stagg?
Greg responds...
As of the END of TEAM YEAR SEVEN...
Livewire is 15.
Mist is 13.
Shade is biologically 48.
Mad Hatter is 59.
Simon Stagg is 63.
Anonymous writes...
Seeing Lady Shiva on "Young Justice: Outsiders," is her real name spelled out as Sandra Woosan OR Sandra Wu-San?
Greg responds...
Sandra Wu-San.
Anonymous writes...
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.

Since two years have passed between Seasons Two and Three of Young Justice, what happened to Wally's parents?
Greg responds...
No spoilers.
Anonymous writes...
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?
B writes...
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.
Spitfire writes...
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.
Daniel writes...
Why couldn't Coyote 1.0 (not the head separately, but the robot as a whole) fly?

Wasn't built for it.
Lea1997 writes...
Can you please give a full description of Superman and Superboy's relationship with the Kent family in Young Justice.
Greg responds...
I could. But I won't. I'd rather show than tell.
B writes...
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.
Haley writes...
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.

In young justice after the events of ''Secrets'' did Artemis and Zatanna Each get a Counseling session with Black canary to help clear their minds of the stress brought by Harm and his actions to Greta?
Greg responds...
I think Dinah checked in regularly with all the kids.
Pablo Torres writes...
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+.
Tyler writes...
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.
ReyMonoArdilla writes...
Since we just saw that Traci 13's magic appears to be based on bad luck, I had a few questions about it (and tangentially about Earth-16 magic).
1. Since there are Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos on Earth-16, is magic separated into opposing forces of Chaos Magic and Order magic (like the Light and Dark sides of the Force, or positive and negative electrical charges) or is magic simply a neutral energy that can be used freely for either chaotic or orderly purposes?
2. If Earth-16 magic comes in separate Order and Chaos flavours, is Traci's bad luck magic a type of Chaos Magic?
3. If the previous answer is true, how does Doctor Fate--being a Lord of Order--feel about being allied with a user of Chaos Magic?
Greg responds...
1. I lean toward the latter.
2. See 1.
3. See 2.
Carlo from Italy writes...
Hi Greg.
I have a question about Young Justice universe: "Queen Bee" is only a title or is the birth name of the character?
Greg responds...
Yes.
DD writes...
So was that definitely Damian Wayne we saw in the Rescue Op episode of Young Justice?
Greg responds...
No spoilers. But figure there have to be hundreds of babies on Infinity Island, right? So it could be anyone. ;)
Phil writes...
Alright first off I'm a huge fan. Have been since Gargoyles (though I didn't know it at the time). Congrats on season 3 and I hope to see more of your work in the future, be it Young Justice or anything else.
As for the questions:
1. Is Statics identity public? I never see him wear a mask
2. Are Superboy's shirts lighter now due to multiple washings or was that just an aesthetic choice?
3. Did Kaldur always know he would be Aquaman someday?
4. Which episode of season 3 is your favorite?
Thanks a bunch!
Greg responds...
1. You never see Superman wear a mask either.
2. The former.
3. Wasn't a guarantee, but that was always King Orin's plan.
4. Oh. That's hard. I like all of 'em. But I guess I'd go with either "Nightmare Monkeys" or "Overwhelmed."
luke writes...
it probably doesn't it matter but in young justice s3 e3 garfield was in paris with queen perita my question is does perita know about the team because gar had to use a zeta beam to get to paris
Greg responds...
Not for that reason.

After eight years, Zatara appeared to look terrible; whether it is his age catching up to him or the strain of wearing the Helmet of Nabu for such a long time appears to be unclear. As such, why has Nabu not yet found a successor to wear the helmet? How long must Zatanna go through the grief of only seeing her father briefly before quickly losing him again every year?
Greg responds...
I wouldn't say he looks terrible. He just looks like he's aged dramatically.
But to answer your question: NO SPOILERS!

Can you reveal who A08, A09, and A14 are?

Fabian Martinez writes...
Hi Greg. So I've been trying to Google this to find the answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I haven't read the comics so I don't know if it's in there or if you have answered it in here but why does Miss Martian have this new form in S3?
Greg responds...
It's the form she chose. I'll leave the why to your interpretation. (Personally, I think the answer is obvious, but your mileage may vary.)
Gordhan Rajani writes...
Does the public know, that Garfield used to be Beast Boy, before he went on to become an actor? I doubt there's that many Metas with green skin and shapeshifting, and I like to think, that someone must've noticed the similarities.
Greg responds...
Who ever saw him?
I mean, a few people certainly did on Team missions. But the Team's covert. Beast Boy wasn't a public hero until he stepped up to form the Outsiders.
Thomas writes...
As I assume you are avoiding real countries in show, what R.l Countries in the YJverse restrict J.L access to a prohibitive level?
Greg responds...
I guess it depends on how you define "prohibitive". But in any case, I'm not going to pull out a list of countries and go through them all to create a list for you. But some obvious ones include Russia and China, North Korea and United Rhelasia, Greater Bialya and Santa Prisca, etc.
Reed writes...
Given that the character is known for his intelligence, is there a guarantee that we will be seeing at least more consistent examples of Virgil's overall smarts and intelligence on YJ this season?
https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/2eu9wm/respect_static/
https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/7iz2lv/respect_static_static_shock/
Greg responds...
I'm not sure I'm understanding the links. I'm not familiar with reddit, or how it works.
But I think we show Virgil as intelligent. Not all-knowing, but intelligent. I'll leave it to your interpretation to decide if we got it right.
Marvelman writes...
The fight between Savage and Captain Marvel and the other Leaguers still bothers me. I just don't see how he could beat a Superman-level character plus two other leaguers.
Savage has not usually been depicted as having that level of physical might. I know, I know, your universe, your rules.
Then, something occurred to me. You have implied in the past that season 2 Captain Marvel is not as fast as season 1 Captain Marvel. Why would that be? In Jerry Ordway's Power of Shazam, the power of Shazam is split between Billy, Mary, and Freddy.
1) Is it fair to say season 2 Captain Marvel is only 1/3 as powerful as season 1 Captain Marvel?:)
2) Could season 1 Captain Marvel have defeated Vandal Savage one-on-one?
3) If the power of Shazam is shared between Captain, Lieutenant, and Sargent Marvel, is it only split between them when more than one of them is using it? Or, is the power divided all of time regardless as to whether multiple Marvels are transformed?
Greg responds...
1. It's fair to say that. Whether it's true or not is a spoiler.
2. Captain Marvel could defeat Vandal one-on-one in either season. Vandal could defeat Captain Marvel in either season. It all depends on circumstances.
3. See above.
Jason R. Carter writes...
Is the Markovian language based on any real languages, like Atlantean is based on ancient Greek?
Greg responds...
It's based on Latvian.
Chris writes...
Okay, Kaldur is B27 and Steel is B36; so what are the designations for Batwoman, Hardware, Ice and Katana?
Greg responds...
My policy is not to pre-reveal designations before the show (or the comic) reveals them. I made an exception at the end of Season Two, because we didn't have a serious hope of a Season Three back then.

What did miss martian's family on mars think of m'gann sibling relationship with Garfield when they meet Garfield when he and m'gann and conner went to mars in 2016 ? Did m'gann's family eccept Garfield as family ?

No spoilers.

During the UN Meta-Human Summit, Troia mentioned that Bialya was trying to pass off "wanted criminals" as their local heroes. Anyone we know; Psimon? Mammoth? Shimmer? Devastation?

I'll leave that to your imagination.

In the "Young Justice" cartoon series:
1. What are the exact requirements for a member of the Justice League to be elected as its leader?
2. From 2003 to 2018, who was elected to become leader of the Justice League, when exactly did their term began and when exactly did it ended?
Greg responds...
1. A majority of votes from the membership.
2. No spoilers. You know that Batman was leader during Season One; Captain Atom, during Season Two, with Black Canary taking over in the last episode. Aquaman (i.e. Kaldur'ahm) and Wonder Woman were co-chairs during Season Three, until the last episode, when they stepped down, and Black Lighting took over.
Chris B writes...
Hey Greg, loved the first three episodes of season 3. My only question is was a different animation studio used this season? It looks a little different than some episodes in seasons 1 and 2.
Greg responds...
Our two studios for Season One and Two were MOI Animation and Lotto Animation.
We used three studios in Season Three: DR Movie, Digital eMation and Studio Mir.
Our only studio for Season Four is Studio Mir.
Anonymous writes...
Black Lightning mentioned "Batman Incorporated." Now I do know what that name means and what its purpose was in the comics, but the big question is this: Is "Batman Incorporated" a real thing or not on "Young Jusitce: Outsiders"
Greg responds...
Depends what you mean by "real thing," I guess.

"Young Justice: Oustiders" Questions:
1. So the Outsiders on this show is essentially the DC equivalent of Marvel's Secret Avengers...?
2. Barbara is now Oracle; that means "The Killing Joke" happened, right? No point in denying it... Anyway, hope Barbara will be able to recover and walk again...
3. Why is the Roy Harper clone going by the name Will now...? Did you get this idea from Star Trek: The Next Generation; more specifically, William Riker and his duplicate Thomas Riker?
Greg responds...
1. I'm not familiar with Marvel's Secret Avengers.
2. Something happened.
3. Will is Roy's middle name. It's a logical choice for him to give Roy full possession of the "Roy" name. I've seen those Thomas Riker episodes of the Trek franchise, but I don't think we really borrowed it from there. Just the same logic.

Hi Greg! Today was the day, congrats!
A few questions.
How old is Troia?
How old is Steel?
How old is Ice?
How old is Hardware?
How old was Tara Markov when she disappeared?

As of the END of TEAM YEAR NINE...
Troia is biologically 20. Chronologically 78.
Steel is 29.
Ice is 22.
Hardware is 36.
Tara Markov is 16. She was abducted at age 13.
Marvelman writes...
Given that there didn't seem to be an repercussions for Black Lightning's accidental killing of a 14 year-old girl, is it fair to surmise that the league found him responsible but not blameworthy for her death?
Greg responds...
Yes.

Hello! Apologies if this question has been asked before. Do you know where I can watch Young Justice season 3 if I don't live in the United States? I am from Finland.
Thank you. Have a lovely day.

I'm afraid I don't know. So sorry.
Brandon holifield writes...
Say how long till gargoyles are in Public domain and when slash if the time comes does that mean you could countinue the series?
Greg responds...
I can't remember the current laws. But I believe Gargoyles will enter public domain somewhere between 75 and 125 YEARS from 1994. The earliest, therefore, would be 2069, when I'll be 106 years old. So... do the math.
