These questions are very important to me. I appreciate speculation as well as informed responses; and please feel free to post your own questions here as well.
1. Did Superman and Batman lie to protect their secret identities in the "original" comics (which Grant & other writers today probably consider the ones the define the characters; I don't really know who these original writers were, however), or did most authors have them just being evasive when asked where they've been, or saying "I don't know you well enough to discuss these matters," etc.? Especially with Clark Kent and Lois Lane, before she knew his secret, I suppose. And, come to think of it, in the Superman movies starring Christopher Reeves? (I don't want to see those movies again and can't really afford to rent them anyway.)
2. Does any of Grant's work on JLA have Superman and Batman lying to protect their secret identities?
3. What are Grant's birth date and time? (Or, save me some work and just post his natal chart, if possible including Sun sign, Ascendant, Moon sign, and the sign of the planet that rules his sun sign.)
4. (This one is a bit longer.) In Grant's New X-Men, what scientific fields does Beast seem to be a master of? Probably genetics and particle physics, but what else? I don't remember if he was a physician & could perform surgery or not. Astronomy? Geology? ??thanks.

P.S. I also appreciate replies e-mailed directly to me at three50125go@aol.com.

Dan--may I call you that, Dan?--thanks, your answers to the first two questions were helpful, and they were the more important ones. As to the third, I take it that you are "not into astrology." If you haven't noticed the field of astrology be worth anything, I suggest you one day test it by just casting & remembering the charts for people in your life and major events in your life and others' lives and seeing if you ever have any vague predictions that are yet narrow enough not to be coincidence. It may work with studying charts for historical events and thus predicting political and cultural events too. Then again, it may never work for you. I am not ready to say it has worked for me.
I continue to fish for more information, especially to the fourth question. I only wish I could offer all who reply a succulent worm, or some carrot, or some pussy! or inner peace and prosperity for the remainder of your days.

*to be worth anything.
Also, I should have said "a probable coincidence."
Also, "in answer to the fourth question."
P.S. If I am violating "netiquette" in any way other than by saying pussy, please let me know; I do not mean to be.

Grant's birthday is on January or February, I can't remember. he's an Aquarius, that's for sure.

tried googling it up to no results. my poor memory circuits tell me there's a mention to it in an old COLUMN at his website. try crtl+f-ing it up, or reading the whole texts. you're bound to a lot of fun anyway.

I thought he was a scorpio ... I seem to recall him mentioning that King Mob was born a scorpio just like grant...

grant's an aquarius, and if you're not able to offer pussy (either your own, or someone else's) you clearly don't care enough about your project to go the extra mile.

(Are you sure you can't afford to even give me a carrot? Worms and cats are out, due to dietary issues, but a carrot! You promised me a carrot! DAMN YOU!!!)

cris reeve never mentions it directly.

batman regularly evades the question, as does superman.

don't you think it would be pretty unlikely someone would directly ask them?

they both lie about their activities to hide their identity, however.

dude!
and question THREE, man!
it's all there, if you open your eyes! wake up! you're asleep at the wheel!
you need to read more closely, and keep a look out for the "king of all birthdays" (first appearance Amazing Morrison #27). he shares the secret of Ultimate Cake(and Presents) with 'Zambola Barrabwe'(a young mark millar in drag) on the eve of the anniversary of the saviour's birth. look at the background in panel 3 on page 12, and you'll see a calendar with grants name written in one of the squares. his birthday is exactly one week after that day.

DUDE!

I love Dnuos, he seems to be concerned - I feel rightly - that at the heart of the superhero equation lies a dangerous contradiction: explicitly, can moral men also be liars?

Well, can they?

yes, they can.
