SPOTLIGHT OF THE MONTH - DECEMBER 2000
Young Justice writer and Darth Mav!

1. Your Screen Name(s): Darth Mav@aol.com

2. Your Real Name/Nickname: Name's Paul A. Hahn...online, people call me Mav...off-line, I'm often referred to as Beck...'cause I look like Beck the musical artist =)

3. Your Birthdate: January 16th...don't forget it =)

4. DCM titles that you write: Young Justice

5. DCM titles you might like to write someday: I dunno...might be interesting to relaunch the Fantastic Four...I also might look at the X-Men someday =)

6. Why did you join? Well, I was looking to recruit people for my own fanfic site (Shameless plug alert! The New Marvel: Fan Fiction), when I came across the DCM page...a few months ago, I would've laughed it off, 'cause I wasn't into any DC titles, only Marvel...but I had just started getting Young Justice and Batgirl, and I thought the idea was sweet...so I inquired =)

7. What's your favorite thing about DCM? The fact that it's a relaunched universe with both DC and Marvel heroes...I suppose. And that I'm writing YJ =)

8. What are your other hobbies? I'm a drummer...I enjoy listening to music and collecting vast amounts of comics

9. What are your dislikes? Having a hole in my wallet the size of Montana that just keeps getting bigger! Oy...all those comics. But seriously...I strongly dislike rap and country music...and everything on the WB except Buffy.

10. Why are you doing this survey? Because I made it!

11. What's the most insane thing you ever did? I don't think I can say it here...but if you really wanna know, feel free to ask me.

12. What advice do you have for others, to better the human race? Don't be racist or prejudice or anything...or mean. There's a thing called karma. When you do something bad, it comes back to bite you in the ass =)

13. What are some bad habits you have? Smoking and drinking. Er...heh heh, kidding! I have this bad habit of being too responsible...

14. List your favorite quotes/words/expressions: I dunno if they're my favorite, but I say 'egads' and 'ut' and 'indeed' way too much

15. What do you hope to contribute to the world? Hopefully a lot of good stories. My dream is to write either X-Force for Marvel or Young Justice for DC!

16. What comics do you read? Here we go: Young Justice, Fathom, Rising Stars, Thunderbolts, Daredevil, Marvel Knights, Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men the Hidden Years, Cable, Generation X, Bishop, Gambit, X-Man, X-Men, Wolverine, X-Force, X-Men Unlimited, Gatecrasher, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mystic, Sigil, Scion, Meridian, CrossGen Chronicles, Crimson, Danger Girl, Battle Chasers, and Batgirl.

17. How did you first get interested in comics? ? I was looking for something to read before going on vacation...and I looked at a comic called X-Force. It had characters in it I recognized from the cartoon...Cable, Bishop, Storm, Beast, and Gambit...I guess it was a good thing that the X-Men guest-starred that issue. But I got hooked, and as soon as Onslaught happened (not even a year later) I got into every marvel book.

18. How did you first get involved in fan fiction? A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to write something for his new fanfic site, and I said sure =)

19. Who's your favorite comic book character/team? That's a toughie...but it's gotta be the Thunderbolts. I don't think I could write them, though...the book's too awesomely amazing, I figure I'd mess it up. They're all my favorites =)

20. What team/character do you think you write the best or would love to try to write? I think I'm at my best while writing X-Force...though I'd love to try writing the X-Men sometime.

How about who you can't write, or wouldn't want to write? I would hate to write Generation X, just 'cause I really don't like the concept behind the book...and I don't think I could write Spider-Man. I've tried, it came out bad...I can come up with plenty of ideas for ol' Peter Parker, but I can't write him.

21. What do you think of this survey? I think whoever wrote it should be thanked for his wonderful service to humanity =)
