The Question
Quote:
“That is. . . The Question"
Theme Song:
Secret Agent Man - Johnny RiversName:
The Question
Alias:
Victor ‘Vic’ Charles Sage
Age: 33
Powers and Skills:
Pseudoderm Mask- A featureless mask that Vic uses to conceal his identity. The mask has perfect ventilation so as not to impair the wearers breathing. The mask can be bonded to the wearer’s face via an extremely strong adhesive which can only be removed via a counter agent in the form of a gas or by being left for a few days.
Journalism and Investigation Skills- Probably the most iconic aspect of The Question (aside from his mask) is his ability to find the truth in the face of lies. He's willing to go to any extreme to solve whatever conspiracy or puzzle he sets his mind two. The Question is often referred to as ‘the world’s second greatest Detective’.
Indomitable Will- While lacking any real superhuman powers, Vic’s shear amount of willpower is capable of miracles in of itself. Wether it’s taking a beating to keep secrets safe or riding out a particularly bad spiking of his food, Vic always seems to be able to come out of any situation better than before… relatively speaking.
Acrobatics and Hand to Hand combat- The Question may not be as nimble as say Batman or Nightwing but he still has to get around. Vic is capable of basic acrobatic feats such as leaping between rooftops or rolling out of harm’s way but doing flips and spins are out of the picture. However, when it comes to fist-a-cuffs, The Question is on par with the likes of Nightwing or some of the other non-powered vigilantes.
Weaknesses:
Conspiracies- While one might consider this a skill, its more of weakness due to its more than likely inaccuracies. The Question is nearly constantly conceiving theories and conspiracies about anything from girl scout’s connections to crop circles to the real reason why people can’t keep their eyes open while sneezing. These theories can lead to him going off of faulty evidence and focusing on theses theories more than the current task at hand.
Human- Vic is just as human as they come. He’s still affected by sickness, bullets, fire, etc, etc.
Personality:
Vic may be a very secretive person but one would think he has no secrets given how much he talks. Vic tends to try to take up a leadership role when forced to work with others but isn’t above taking orders provided their based on some sort of logic or facts. While Vic is currently working for the American Government, his only true ally and boss is the Truth.
Appearance:
Vic is a pretty handsome man underneath his disguise. He has fair skin, brown eyes and a smile that would make a roach swoon. He’s naturally a brunette but he normally keeps his hair dyed dark black.
Biggest Claims to Fame:
-Once exposed a high ranking political figure for being a robot being controlled by T.O.Morrow.
-Assulted an Arby’s cashier under the suspicion that they were actually a member of a race of ancient humans bent on taking the Earth from the current race of humans.
How Long Have You Been in Prison:
Over his entire life, Vic has been in prison over a dozen times racking up a total amount of jail time of around two years and a half.
Brief History:
The Question was once Victor ‘Vic’ Sage, a early, early morning reporter on conspiracy theories who was only really given a job at the station because every once in a while he would pull a hail Mary and bring a lot of positive publicity to the station. As time went on, Vic found that there was only so much Victor Sage could do to expose the truth of corrupt politicians and reptilian aliens so he decided to create himself anew as The Question, seeker of the truth.
He spent quite a bit of time as a freelance hero, working on his theories and conspiracies on his own but eventually he was made an offer by a contact of his that he couldn’t refuse. After working as a member of various black ops teams, The Question found himself being seated into yet another team. Task Force X.
Notes:
-While there’s no concrete evidence, a lot of other government operatives are fairly certain Vic became a government operative just to expose the secrets of kept from the general public.
-He considers himself The Question and Victor Sage to be his alter ego.
