    How would it add up? It would only add up if she was   Artemis Crock. Sports Master being in it, her mother calling her Artemis, having to pretend to be GA's niece etc...

    Artemis on Young Justice is a mix of 4 Characters

    Artemis Crock/Tigress: where she got her name and part of her origin

    Cissie King-Jones/Arrowette: the place on the team

    Mia Dearden/Speedy: Personality and MAYBE part of the origin (wonder what kind of abusive father she had.....)

    Stephanie Brown/Spoiler: Personality and part of the origin  


     
    Sometimes its very easy to see when Artemis is channeling Speth and when she is Channeling Mia

    I don't see much Mia in her to be honest. I can see the spoiler comparisons but then Artemis has kind of a similar backstory to begin with. Actually I don't see Steph personality wise. Art is too serious.

    @fodigg: did Artemis crock really become a hero to foil her fathers crimes?  
     Ohh thats right Artemis Crock never became a hero  
    and thats where she gets her Steph origin from 
     
    and the personality is 100% a mix of Mia and Steph, it does result in a more serious character, taken a bit of the darker side of Mia, and her crass humor and the rest is clearly Steph

    Did Artemis? Seems to me like she could go either way at this point and was pressed into hero-dom simply because she didn't want to abandon her family like Cheshire did.

    and the personality is 100% a mix of Mia and Steph, it does result in a more serious character, taken a bit of the darker side of Mia, and her crass humor and the rest is clearly Steph

    I just do not see it. Steph was way more light-hearted than this and while Mia had more of an edge, she was never stone-faced or serious like Artemis. She was constantly giving Ollie grief and poking fun at him. Honestly Artemis reminds me of the old Huntress more than anyone else.
