Hi Greg! You have so much fun making a believable and specific timeline for Young Justice (or you seem to--more pertinently, you put a lot of effort into something that is fun for me to read). I wanted to ask you what is hopeful a fun and lighthearted question about which historical events have happened in Young Justice and which ones you might want to leave yourself open to having an alternate history version for.

1. Which American presidents have served that office in the Young Justice universe?

Hopefully explaining the reasoning behind my question will make it easier to answer. I am not asking you to confirm whether or not Biden or Trump or Obama, etc. exist in YJ and how they feel about superheroes or otherwise try to get you to give your political opinions on modern political figures. I am, however, under the assumption that, as a writer, it's easiest for you to write under the assumption that Young Justice's history is the same as ours except where specified, and that the farther back we go, the more likely it is that the Young Justice timeline aligns with real-life (again, except where specified). So I guess my question assumes that, for example, some version of George Washington was the first president, and some version of Abraham Lincoln served during the Civil War, and some version of Franklin Roosevelt served during WWII, because that would explain why Young Justice's world looks so similar to our own. But how close to the present can we get to where those assumptions are no longer valid? Is there a historical point where this question becomes a spoiler request but before it is fair game? For example, could we assume that every president from George Washington through Harry Truman served in Young Justice but after that you don't want to confirm or deny anything? Or is it all a spoiler request?

Anyway, this question is just a fun thing for me to think about and I hope it's fun for you too. I tried to keep it more historical and less political because I know the latter is a messy topic on the internet.

Thank you for all your work on this incredible series!
