Where did the Brain and Monsieur Mallah vanish to in "Alpha Male?"
Greg responds...
Does it matter?
In that moment, they didn't necessarily go far. It was all misdirection.
Shortly thereafter, they rendezvoused with Ultra-Humanite in Bwunda.
Matt Itelson writes...
When the soon-to-be founders of the Justice League first met, did everyone immediately get along?
Greg responds...
Generally, if not perfectly.
Verdragon writes...
Is the DeLamb family from a different part of Europe? Because I just now realized that name doesn't sound Markovian, nor does the name Frederick. If so, what country is the DeLamb family from?
Greg responds...
They are from Markovia. Given that it's a fictional country, you might be a little judgy about what does and doesn't "sound" Markovian.
Marvelman writes...
How much does the team and the League actually know about Wally's death? Did they just accept it at face value - that Wally was struck by lightning and died? Was there some sort of investigation? What did they conclude?
Greg responds...
No one thought he was struck by lightning and died. I assume you don't think that either, and that you are intentionally over-simplifying what you saw on screen. And, yes, they investigated to the extent they could. The conclusion is that Wally was killed, disintegrated.

This question is about the Shaman from the Gargoyles episode Walkabout.
Did the Shaman have any sort of knowledge or feeling that Anastasia was really Titania?
Greg responds...
He didn't mention it to me. But he doesn't have to say everything he thinks.
Spectacular Spider-Geek writes...
Hi Greg,
Hope you and your family are staying healthy. I’ve been introducing Spectacular to a lot of my friends and had a couple of questions since rewatching it.
1. What did Ock do to mitigate his powerpack from losing power after his debut episode?
2. In Final Curtain, why does “Chameleon-Norman†need to hire Gargan to find Menken? In the episode, “Chameleon-Norman†is told by the Oscorp employee that the only people that can remove Menken’s address from the Oscorp database would be Norman or Menken. I thought that the real Norman would know where Menken would be since Menken says that Oscorp rented the apartment for him? I’m just confused on why the real Norman wouldn’t know and tell “Chameleon-Norman†where Menken’s location would be in order to lure Spider-Man to Menken.
3. Who came up with the idea to frame Menken? Was it Chameleon or Norman?
My friends are enjoying the show and it’s been a joy to rewatch the show. It still holds up. I’ve been enjoying YJ: Phantoms as well. Finally, I wanted to send my condolences to you for the loss of Dave Schwartz. Hope you are well and stay safe.
Greg responds...
1. Something very smart and clever, I'm sure.
2. It's been a while, but I think the point was to maintain the illusion that Menken was missing and that Norman didn't know where to find him. The real Norman did, of course, know where Menken was.
3. Norman. But it was less a frame than misdirection to lure Spidey into a trap.
Thanks for your kind words. Dave is missed.
Galvino writes...
In episode 9 of YJ Phantoms, when the new chaos lord (child) is coming to Earth, on screen there are 10 Lords of Chaos and 11 Lords of Order but then after this point, both Chaos and Order respectively only have 8 Lords shown on screen. Was the time the screen showed more than 8 Lords from each side an animation error or are there actually more than 8 Lords from each side?
Greg responds...
There are probably thousands of Chaos Lords and thousands of Lords of Order. How many are gathered at any given moment is variable.

why don't we see more about the outsiders as a team and learn more about the members? it's a bit hard to connect to them..it's odd how they're made to be such a big deal in the show when we really only get beast boy's perspective
Greg responds...
Are you talking about Season Four?
They weren't the focus of the season, obviously. Instead we focused on two specific Outsiders (Superboy & Beast Boy), three members of the Team (Nightwing, Tigress and Miss Martian) and three members of the League (Aquaman, Rocket and Zatanna).
I mean the Justice League is also made out "to be such a big deal in the show" and we rarely give them time at all.
It's a show about characters. And different characters get the spotlight in different seasons. It's been that way from the beginning.

Why were Spoiler, Arrowette, and Thirteen featured so mcuh during comic con before season 3, giving the impression they were going to be main characters when they really only spoke in one episode?
Greg responds...
We're not in charge of publicity for the show. They went with the designs we had ready at the time, I'd guess.
But, geez, water under the bridge much?

Hello Greg !
First, i'am a big fan of your work for years now, the author job is absolutely amazing and you are one of the best for me.
But here I have one question that torture me for weeks since I have seen the masterpiece "Spectacular Spider-Man"
If the season 3 to 5 has happened... Would Peter have left Gwen somehow and ended up with Mary Jane? I dont have to judge your answer I just want to know how I have to see the charaters now... Because one thing that I really love about what you did of Mary Jane, is letting her be a incredible character on her own, not by Pete, and I cant see this Pete with this version of Mary Jane personally, and his relationship with Gwen is for me a masterpiece and one of the major good point of the series.
Deep inside of me I hope that your plan was to do Pete - Gwen the final relationship but I'm not the author here...
With all my respect, thanks for all what you did and will do, we will continue to support you <3
P.S I search for an hour now in the respond and unrespond questions and however I try to formulate the key word of the search bar, I always end with hundreds of question, I read tens of them without fiding one like mine so sorry if this was already post and/or respond, and if it was I will be gratefull to the moderator who is reading me (thanks for this giantfull work that you did for more than 10 years) to link me this post
2nd P.S : My english is really not perfect but I did my best, French are not known for their english talent haha.
Again thanks for all <3 in the past, the present and the future.
Greg responds...
Your English is WAY better than my French, believe me. Thanks for all the kind words.
BUT... I'm not going to say what we would have done with Pete, Gwen, MJ or anyone. No spoilers is the policy around here. Sorry.
