Hello YG Wiki! I have a few questions about how the beetles work, Martians, and the intergalactic government and what not.

So first, the beetles:

1)When Blue's scarab was "fixed" what exactly did that do? Is Jaime gone and the beetle is talking now, or is Jaime brainwashed?  A mix of the two? Do we know? This goes for green beetle too, I guess.

2)Is Black Beetle under the control of his scarab? I mean, he is a Reach, so why would he want to go against his people and need to be controlled?

3)So if green beetle really does work for The Reach, then that implies that Mars is also being looked at by The Reach for conquest. Are the Maritans just as ignorant as the Humans?

That actually brings me to my next set of questions..Marians:

1)So, again, how much interaction is there between Earth and Mars? A lot? They tried to shoot up a satellite and that totally failed. But then Maritans also have TV and Earthlings have Manhunter.

2)Speaking of Manhunter, why is he famous? Is his fame just a vestage from the original Justice League, where he was the member of dying race, or in YG is he actually something special. I mean, if there are billions of Martians with his same powers..

3)If Miss Martian had gone into Green Beetle's mind, what would have happened? Was he riding on the hope that she would't? Can the scarab selevt which thoughts she can probe or not? Do we even understand telephathy enough for this question?

And finally...the galaxy:

1)So, who are the Reach? Are they an empire, a nation, what? They seem relatively good at what they do, but what do they do? We know they're going to cause an apocolypse, but what is their end goal? Take over the universe?

2)So there are other major players on the galactic stage besides The Reach..how do they all feel about one another? The Council of Rimbor, for instance, where do they they stand on Reach conquest?

3)The Reach are on Earth to weaponize the meta-gene, yes? Why, when you have beetles? Just program the powers into that, they seem to be pretty all around anyway.

Some of these questions are probably going to be answered in the show, but I would really appreciate it if anybody gave a "where we stand" note on some of these. Thanks!
