Young Justice (animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Played with in various ways.

** When M'gann had her memory of arriving on Earth erased by Psimon in "Bereft" she initally [[Inner Monologue|thinks]] in the Martian language, and only switches to English when she realizes she's on Earth.

** [[Adam Strange]] took weeks to even discover a means of communication when he was accidentally transported to the planet Rann. Miss Martian helps bridge the language gap during her visit with a psychic link. {{spoiler|The team discovers she has been rendered unconscious when they can no longer understand each other.}}

** The Krolotean language is unintelligible to everyone but Blue Beetle, whose armor has a [[Universal Translator]]. Other characters, and the audience, cannot understand the language even when Beetle is the one speaking it.

* [[The Cameo]]:

** [[Superfriends|Wendy, Marvin]] and Snapper Carr all appear as supporting characters at Superboy and Miss Martian's [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World|school]].

** "Humanity" had flashbacks to [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] heroes [[Justice Society of America|Alan Scott, Wildcat, Sandman]], Firebrand and Red Torpedo.

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: As of ''[[Brightest Day]]'' #4, Aqualad is now a dread-locked black kid called Jackson Hyde (Kaldur'ahm is his Atlantean name), living in New Mexico, making his status in ''Young Justice'' official canon. Greg Weisman said that he, Vietti, and Phil Bourassa -- lead character designer of the show -- created the character, but Geoff Johns liked the new Aqualad so much that he wanted to bring him over to main continuity.

** When the Team makes a detour to rescue a woman and her son from a stampede caused by an invasion force, the woman points out that their interference will likely draw a stronger reprisal. Superboy also injured one of the animals. Nevertheless, she is thankful for the assistance.

* [[Composite Character]]:

** Red Inferno, who was originally known as the heroine Firebrand before being destroyed and rebuilt. In the comics, they are two separate characters with absolutely no relation.

** The [[Golden Age]] and modern versions of Red Torpedo were also combined into one character.

** The logo of the Justice League, as seen on their membership cards in "Usual Suspects" and during G. Gordon Godfrey's talk show, is the series logo of the ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'' animated series.

** At the end of "Auld Acquaintance", it is revealed that {{spoiler|Red Arrow is a clone of the real Roy Harper/Speedy, who has an arm cut off.}} In the comics, {{spoiler|Roy lost his arm (along with his daughter) in the miniseries ''[[Cry for Justice]]''.}}

** Jaime Reyes mentions that Captain Atom was the one who told him about Ted Kord, the previous Blue Beetle. In the comics, Captain Atom and Ted were both [[Charlton Comics]] characters, and the latter even debuted in a back-up feature in Captain Atom's series.

** Jaime's Native American friend Tye Longshadow looks like a teenage version of [[Captain Ethnic|Apache Chief]] from ''[[Superfriends]]'', and he comes from a long line of [[wikipedia:Mescalero|Mescalero Apache]] chiefs. His last name is an allusion to Long Shadow from ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]] Unlimited'', who was himself an [[Expy]] of Apache Chief.
