The Question

    (DC, 1987–1990, 2008–2010)
™ and ©1986 DC Comics, Inc.

Vic Sage can turn himself into the faceless Question by simply donning a mask and unleashing the adhesive gas to attach it. The resulting effect, to criminals, is like being attacked by a faceless enemy.

However, by the time this series begins, too many people know his secret identity, and Sage is forced to try to give it up. Unsuccessful in that effort, he flees to South America. He soon finds that doing so simply moved him from one war zone to another, and he returns to the United States. Sage then realizes he needs his “identity” as the Question. Not only does it help Sage hide his private life, but it also lets him terrify criminals as only a faceless man can.
