The Question src

The Question is a vigilante member of the Justice League Reserves and the Checkmate organization.

Early Years

Victor Sage operated as the vigilante the Question in Hub City, developing a reputation as a paranoid thrill-seeker. Returning to Gotham City after a prior encounter, the Question worked with Gotham's protector Batman to investigate Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist and Batman's secret identity, in a ploy to confirm his suspicions that they were one and the same. Having discovered the financial maneuvers used by Wayne to finance Batman's operations, the Question disguised himself as a Waynetech security guard and infiltrated a distribution center to gain access to the corporation's files. Though his investigation was clandestinely blocked by Batman and he was attacked by Waynetech personnel, the Question uncovered exploitation of Wayne's loopholes by corrupt guards to steal inventory. After revealing his identity to Sage and reevaluating his judgment of the other vigilante, Batman joined the Question in raiding and capturing the thieving guards.[1]

The Question also operated within a team of heroes that included the Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, Judomaster, and Nightshade,[2] and he saved the life of former Gotham City Police Department detective Renee Montoya. They struck up a deep friendship, together encountering Black Adam of Kahndaq, before Sage succumbed to disease and cold and died in Montoya's arms. With his death, she took on his legacy as the new Question. He was later revived, and memory of his life was warped and altered,[3] following the erasure of ten years of history.[4]

In Hub City, the Question investigated the deaths of three members of the Mikhailov Brotherhood, a crime syndicate. He tracked their killer—who wore a faceless mask like his own—to the penthouse of Narcisse Mikhailov, son of the brotherhood's head, where Sage tackled the assailant to keep him from shooting Mikhailov. Unmasking his opponent, Sage discovered that he shared his target's face. Mikhailov revealed that the killer, Valentino, was a lookalike hired for his protection who had become his lover. Upon discovering his son's homosexuality, Mikhailov's father had a arranged for Valentino to be killed turning him against the family. Motivated by the sense of missed opportunity his one-time lover aroused in him, Mikhailov shot Valentino himself despite the intervention of the Question, striking Valentino in the head and knocking him off the penthouse balcony to death. Though Sage wished to take Mikhailov's life in retaliation, he determined that the city desired him to live with the knowledge of his action.[10]
