    Question (Sage)

    Character » Question (Sage) appears in 418 issues.

    When Vic Sage, a television investigative journalist, encountered stories he couldn't investigate by normal, legal means, he donned a special mask (kept in his belt buckle) that made it appear that he had no face. As the Question, Sage investigated corruption in the face of all danger, leaving a blank "calling card," which, when touched, emitted a smoky question mark.

    that he could

    And the guy who did his voice on JLU (the re-animator guy something Combs) made it oh so freaking awesome

    I showed some of my friends who don't read comics a JLU episode with Question.  As soon as he appeared onscreen one of my friends shouted, "Holy crap that guy doesn't have a face!" They all loves Question now.

    I have to bring this thread up as The Question is undoubtedly just great and way underrated!!!

    He shone in 52 with an absolutly incredable death, normal  and human just like the Questuion yet extraordinary enough to keep me gripped!
    Rennees journey has been amazing! She shone at the end of 52 and wears the Hat with pride and rightly so!

    One thing i wasnt keen on was the five boks of blood...an interesting idea really good infact just poorly executed could have been doneover 20 issues not five!

    then Final Crisis and Revelations absolutley loved it. Crypus allen dragged back from her past to haunt her the severe power imbalance in the pair human and Divine entity with near unlimited potential, the same with Cain a being of almost unfathomble evil!!!!

    she took the spear to the chest like a true hero!

    then in Final Crisis although slightly confusing!!!! she mans the arc for the supermen of the universe....I love the question Greg ruckas been writing her for since, well since her birth in 52 and in my opinion has managed to give the character a new position in the DCU and neally all around just kicked ass in his writing of the character...witty banter and all!!!!!!

    His name is Charlie Victor Sage or vic sage to the T.V. crowd.

    Depending if he's The Question or not it is the adhesive gas that changes his clothes and fixes the mask, it also changes his hair colour.

    My favorite story with him is the three issue/annual crossover with the Batman and Green Arrow back in th eearly nighties.  He felt overshadowed by Batman and told him so.

    "Elegy" part 1 of 4! A new era in the history of DETECTIVE COMICS begins as Batwoman is unleashed on Gotham City! Marked by the blood-red bat, Kate Kane is a soldier fighting her own private war – one that began years ago and haunts her every waking moment. With a script by Greg Rucka and breath-taking art by JH Williams III, you've never seen anything like this!

    Featuring the debut of a new co-feature starring The Question written by Rucka! Odds against you? Alone and nowhere to turn? Willing to fight, but you don't know how? When you're searching everywhere for an answer, sometimes all you need to do is ask the right Question. Renee Montoya again dons the faceless mask to help those in need, all the while searching for her own answers in this new adventure with art by Cully Hamner (BLUE BEETLE).

    got that off the DC page, Detective Comics #854

    I'm really upset that my local shop doesn't have The Question volume 1 of O'neil's run. They have volumes 2, 3, and 4 in the trades, but but no volume 1. Frustrating... 
    I'm just gonna have to Amazon it I guess...although I would vastly prefer to get it from one of my local shops.

    The Ditko Vic Sage Question is a great character, less so for the O'Neill interpretation. The less said about the Renee Montoya Question, the better (Rucka sure loves his lesbians!). 
     
    I don't know if Ditko ever talked about this or not, but I always thought that since Ditko (and Vic Sage) were Objectivists, 'The Question' name was an oblique reference to 'The Question' asked throughout Atlas Shrugged: "Who is John Galt?"

    Question's is sick. He's considered The Best Detective right behind Batman. He was also trained by Bronze Tiger another one of the best fighters in the DCU and Vic himself is quite skilled in H2h himself. He could probably beat Green Arrow IMO. I wish he had his own Rebrith series.
