Character Count in Young Justice Season 4: Phantoms

[M.O.D.O.K.]

I also didn't know Wizard wore some blue until that episode.

 

[Yojimbo]

Episode 13: "Kaerb Ym Traeh!"

Another light episode in terms of adding to the count.

Doctor Thirteen is alluded to. I believe this is the first time he's been brought up in the series.

And with the appearance of Isis, I suppose that sets up a possible appearance of Andrea Thomas in a future episode.

More likely the Adrianna Tomaz/Isis since whoever owns Filmation owns the Andrea Thomas version.

Agreed, or they could even change up the name a bit more depending on her ethnicity on this show. Pretty sure they've done that for a few already.

Could turn out to be the Goddess herself.

It was about time they brought him up since he wasn't a factor in her test at all (which I thought was kind of weird).

And with the appearance of Isis, I suppose that sets up a possible appearance of Andrea Thomas in a future episode.

I wonder if she knows Black Adam...

More Aqua characters than you can shake a tailfin at .

Also, Robotman !

Y'know, it's just nice to hear Roger Craig Smith again .

 

[Yojimbo]

4/4: I'm going to be removing Ondine and Rodunn from this season's count. They appeared in season one and are just name and a voice debuts (Rodunn only). this season. They both appeared in "Downtime." Ondine appeared at the 6:05 mark telling Vulko and Orm inside the science center that all security protocols were in place and no one was getting in or out. I believe she appears again at 12:45 after the charges are detonated and she is the one blasted by a Manta Trooper. Rodunn is at the 7:28 mark, he's the royal guard who recovers from a blast and grabs his weapon only to get stomped by Black Manta.

4/7: 17 "Leviathan Wakes"

Orin alludes to the Justice League having four Green Lanterns and two Flashes. For the latter, easy to deduce that Jay Garrick has gone back into active duty as The Flash and joined the League. The fourth GL, we shall see but an easy bet it is Kyle Rayner since they seem to be going in order in the comics. Other possibilities include Jade, Simon Baz, and Jessica Cruz.

And La'gaan becomes the third Aquaman. Well, seemed like he accepted.

If they're counting Jay as the 2nd Flash, I assumed Alan Scott would be the 4th Lantern. It's not like they ever confirmed if he was alive or dead.

And La'gaan becomes the third Aquaman. Well, seemed like he accepted.

Getting to be comic level of everybody sharing codenames .

(Also now this means they're reasoning for not having Cass or Steph use the Batgirl name because Barbara was still alive was total bull, unless it came down from corporate).

Could Forager find a love interest in Forager ?

Name reveals

Kneel Before the line of Zod as Voiced By Phil Morris! He's even voicing a (I assume) teenager/young adult .

Voice debuts
-Kurtis Mansfield takes over as the voice of Amistad Ervin, previously voiced by Khary Payton

Probably for the best for more emotional pathos and less meme potential...

-Grayven is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker

The one Darkseid kid nobody remembers except hardcore comic geeks .

-Lor-Zod is voiced by Phil Morris

From Vandal Savage, to Marian Manhutner, to King Farady, to General Zod and his descendant .

-Jimmy Olsen is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker

This is like Tom Kenney voicing Jim Gordon in DCSHG for me .

The Flash/Jay Garrick is confirmed to be a new member of the Justice League.

I can never say no to more Jay Garrick .

I actually wonder if they'll go with Ursa or Faora for the name of Zod's wife/Lor-Zod's mother...

Oh hey, and they remember Zor-El! Kara's dad gets some love .

I thought it was noticeable that one of them had the House of El crest .

Also is Nolan North the voice for every male member of the House of El? Would he voice Zor too ?

-Ursa-Zod - voiced by Vanessa Marshall

-Non (no voice)

It's funny to me to see Ursa and Faora together because they're sometimes treated interchangeably .

We've got all the Phantom Zone regulars now...aside from Xa-Du .
