Who is DC Comics "The Question?" Unknown & Dangerously Unstable

- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the DC Comics character "The Question." From the life of a tough genius journalist of Hub City named Charles Victor Szasz that resists the criminal underworld while wearing a prototype Pseudoderm on his face to protect his identity, being the second best detective on Earth after Batman, a Gotham City detective named Renee Montoya having a stint as an elusive female "The Question", the newest iteration of the character having immortality and a vast array of powerful magical abilities while alongside his Trinity of Sin teammates Pandora and Phantom Stranger, to his erratic mind consistently being a threat to his enemies and allies alike; Let's take a look at this mysterious DC Comics anti-hero, and the most dangerous man with no face or identity. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

ARE WE JUST GONNA FORGET THIS DUDE DISCOVERED THE 32ND FLAVOR OF ICE CREAM?!?!? AND YOU STILL WANNA SAY HES ONLY THE SECOND BEST DETECTIVE?!?
Bats admitted he was better.in comics,and in JLU toon
@@WAVYU5 LMAO 😂😄😆😀😃😄
if he was so good he wouldve found the 33th.....
Honestly?
1) constantine
2) bats
3) question
@@thelastyeetbender4429 did you just say “33th”?
DC has so many characters that are INCREDIBLY underrated. The Question is one of them. He was amazing in Justice League Unlimited.
The writers and animators for Justice League Unlimited were hyped to do a Question cartoon show but, were shutdown.
@@KPITGangsta That would've been such a great addition to the DCAU. I guess they wanted to end the television show side with a bang. Which I agree with. Since it's being revived on HBO Max with a BTAS continuation, maybe they can give it a shot.
Absolutely! 😁😁😊😊
Yes agreed the writers did him justice no pun intended
Never heard of dude that I no of🤔. But he sounds like a cool character for his own movie. Hate him or not...Zack Snyder would be a good candidate too do a movie on him🤷🏿♂️
Don’t forget. He’s fought with Lady Shiva and survived.
he beat up a guy (I think in a Santa costume) while christmas caroling, fa la la la la la la la la. Easy 10 for me lol let alone brave and the bold/justice league dealing with guys bigger and badder than he is. Street level gadget free Batman except for ye ole fisticuffs.
1:03 lol Vic Sage, New Sage, better than New Question lol (Montoya Question on super pill drugs was a fitting end for injustice)
@@MrVariant now this guy knows his stuff 💯☝🏾
@@dezaina9961 thanks
Yeah. I've seen for awhile that he DOES! 😁👍🏽
Oh, really now?! 😁😁😊😊
The Question was one of my favorite characters in Justice League Unlimited I loved him ever since The Question is a slept on character
Absolutely!
@@UnexpectedWonder Unequivocally agree.
The Question is high on my list for a live action adaptation. A few other underrated characters I would love to see on film are; Jason Blood/Etrigan, Zatanna, and Deadman.
deadman has a movie though
@@spencerwilliams1976 which movie
I would love to see a crossover between the Question and Moon Knight
Indeed. 😁😁😊😊
And Roschach
The Question, Rorschach and Teg Spirit noir crossover would be cool
To this day I still think the question is the single most slept on character. He’s so mysterious,badass, and has storylines that blow your mind like Detective Comics. He’s like the merge between Batman and Rorschach. I first got wind of this character when i was little on justice league than would later see him in Batman Brave and The Bold. Literally just makes every story he’s in so much better. He’s like the comic equivalent to getting a feature from Sean Paul. 😂
They definitely need to do him on film. Apparently there were plans to a few years ago but Watchmen had come out in 2009 and obviously the question shares a lot of similarities with Rorschach.
I know they do batman a lot but I kinda wanna see a batman and question team up on film, like a purely detective style film.
@@luke5930 you my friend, are a man with taste. 🤩
Since Gunn also wants to bring underrated characters to big screen. Let's hope The Question will make it someday
@@vulamnguyen9453 I agree!
Alan Moore was gonna use The Question in watchmen but for reasons he couldn't use it, so he just ended up making his own character (Rorschach) based on The Question. Same with Doctor Manhattan being inspired by Captain Atom because he was originally going to use Captain Atom.
Rorschach was based on the question but their personality are much different yet oddly the same.
@@OGP2293 Rorschach is a piece of shit. That was the writer's intent, kid.
@@OGP2293 You read the Watchmen? Or just seen the film?
@@OGP2293 Chiiiiill, I ain't attacking ya. 😂 You read the new run? If so, thoughts?
@@OGP2293 maybe not a Nzy but its likely he was R but thats not as apparent as his mental instability, though not like the kkk and would likely view them as well terroristic like any other criminal organization.
(saddly the HBO series never really looked into this further and just left it in the "kkk appropriated his image", not even really one line that said "Roschach maybe crazy and bigoted but not that crazy and twisted" or "well he was insane so maybe he really liked these guys.")
Alan Moore is a deep fan of The Question creator Steve Ditko who also drew Dr Strange and Spider-Man.
The Question: Zen and Violence by Dennis O'Neil is very underrated.
Thanks fr th research man
He's a better detective than Batman due to his lack of financial backing,that money makes things a lil easier.
😅👍🏽 STRONG argument there! 💵
I'd have to agree. The original was by far my favorite.
@@NewSage Also Batman refers to the question as a better detective... At least in the Justice League cartoon.
It depends on the iteration. Batman solves cases in bigger proportions usually sooo
That's garbage, leave the world's greatest Detective to Batman and rename "The question" The world's greatest theorist or "conspiracist" or something...
I mostly read Marvel. I didn’t find out about this guy until I watched Justice League unlimited. Not sure how close that was to him actual comic book depiction but he was one of the more intriguing characters from the series.
I remember this guy in JLU where he dated huntress
The question is such a fascinating character. Loved him from JL Animated show. I would love to see a well made show based on him.
“Died from lung cancer” I can’t help but assume DC was taking a jab at all those cig sponsored radio detective shows.
I thought he was immortal ....
@@donkey7577 thats the new version
my dumbass is smokin a marlboro red right now and im about to solve a case for this dame
The Question: This goes against my morale compass
Me: Your morale compass is a f***ing roulette wheel!
The second or third best detective is finally getting some love and respect.
Who is the first two? Sherlock and Batman?
@@George-ls9ce well it's about DC so Batman at first place then Tim Drake at second place. As fictional detectives Batman first Sherlock as close second. Batman can deduce that a bullet was fired back in time just by looking at it.
You did my favorite boy from the Justice League Cartoon! Thank you!
Since watching True Detective I can only imagine Matthew mcconaughey Playing him
Wow, the research that goes into these videos are amazing. Another great one.
I appreciate you, bro! 😎👊🏽
I’m so happy you’re doing a “The Question” episode
Glad you like the vid bro! 🎬😎👍🏽
Damn boi need this from a long time! Thanks so much! This will greatly help in my Question cosplay!
I really love the question as a character. I know people who hate on him because he's not superpowered or a Mary Sue or a Gary stew even though it's supposed to be say that they don't like those kind of characters yet they always reference them.... I enjoy characters that don't have too many powers or too many gadgets don't get me wrong I love me some Batman but there's just something about an underdog.
I own a few comics with this dude and I was waiting to hear his backstory. True Sage coming in clutch
I feel like I'm listening to Sigint explaining something to Snake. Nice voice and nice video
My favorite DC character
Finally someone covers The Question...totally underrated character
There was an episode in justice league unlimited where the question was on his computer looking through files. One of the names on the files was flashpoint.
And I thought he was a wild card on justice league. Now i see he was aim compares to his true self. Thanks for the info man nice video.
I always liked the question. Hes one of my favorite.
please can you make a video aboutPhantom Stranger please keep up your amazing work and live long and prosper
Thank you for doing this. My little Princess loves The Question.
No problem, bro! 😎👍🏽
since the watchmen are now in the DC universe, I wonder what a face-off or collaboration between him and Rorschach would look like
Question is one of my favorites!
Nice one sage
🥉🎉 3rd to the party today, bro! Thanks for the support, and have a good one! 😎👊🏽
Nothing beats Acevane comedy skits with this guy😂
Hopefully this video will make more people love and respect him
Nice!
Great video Sage! Is Mr.Sinister coming up soon? Peace my G!👍🏿
When you take a clue the question needed
The question - I NEEDED THAT
I will admit it, I am one of those individual that when I think of the Question I think of his original iteration. This new version of the Questions does make me ask (see what I did there...lol), is he really the character he himself doing what the Spectre does; using human host, in this case of course using Victor Szasz. DC comics is doing a lot of changes right now, I really wonder where they are going with great characters like these, I guess you would say now that is the Question (again see what I did there...lol). As always my brother New Sage fantastic narration, video and content, big thumbs up. GOD always answers our prayers, I see that as I see HIS light continue to shine upon and with in you along with all of HIS blessings that he has gifted you and your family with in the name of our Lord and savior JESUS CHRIST by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT; so keep shining my brother, stay encouraged, keep inspiring all as you do and I know you can't help but be because there are none cooler than you however I'll say it anyway stay frosty my brother.
You made a lot of pertinent points, and asked just the right "Questions." 😅👍🏽 Thanks a lot for the uplifting in the Spirit, brother. I kinda need it right now. I appreciate that you let God use you to shine as a bright light for Christ! As always, I pray that you and yours continue to enjoy and give thanks for the blessings that He is true to give. Stay ice cold 🧊! 😁😎👊🏽
You should do a video on the shadow !
Now, I presume your grade is related to the current, more mystical, version of The Question and not his original incarnation.
I actually enjoyed it when Renee Montoya took over the role, which might have been the best development from the New 52 if they didn't reverse it almost immediately and returned Vic Sage to the role. A pity - she could have really developed into a very intriguing character.
This current version? I'm not sure what I think about him. I think DC just changed too much here. The original Question, of course, was a simplified version of Steve Ditko's Mr A. Now, what difference between him and the Phantom Stranger except that The Question doesn't have a face?
And what happened to Renee in the new era anyway?
My most favorite underrated character in DC
I remember this character from justice league unlimited.
Very underrated character sage man good to hear from ya I'm gonna stay on you about p.p🤔🤔🤔🤔💯💯💯
Thanks bro! You're my motivational dude, so I'll give no excuses. 😁👍🏽 Just need to get 'er done! 😎👊🏽
Ur content is well done and it seems as if u put time into ur research and its appreciated bro thank u my dude besafe tho
We love the questions 🦾🙂💪💪🤡🦾🦍🦅🎵🎶🌜🌛🎵🎶 yeah because he is awesome and the best and the greatest and amazing and all ways wicked!!!!!!!!!!.
Awesome vid bro. Can you do Xemnu from Marvel next?
Also, What's the question? Just kidding 😂
😅👍🏽 Thanks bro! And I'm pretty sure he's on the to-do list. That vid will come around. 😎👊🏽
He needs to be the next to series, a dark,unstable,gritty and mysterious show.
I know someone has probably said it but I really like this guy just because he looks quite a lot like Rorschach. Just that he is actually somewhat sane.
The question is really one of the most important lynchpins in DC comics ... He literally figuresout things no one can
*Batman is not the world greatest detective it's The Question*
I respectfully disagree. Batman is literally called the world's greatest detective which means everyone else is battling for at best 2nd place. Question is so underrated though.
@@FriendlyBatDoomit doesn't matter what he's called. that's PR and there's nothing about batman that makes me feel that he's the world's greatest detective.
One of my favorite heroes.
Arguably the most underrated DC character (aside from maybe martain manhunter)
Yeah. Both if them ARE kinda slept on! 😏👍🏽
I like my question with no crazy powers
I remember him from DC animated justice league series he was my favorite
Nice
Why is this intro so HYPE?
Please cover the origin of the phantom stranger btw 500 th like
A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock can you makke a vidoe about dc lucifer plz
Thanks a lot! 😎👍🏽 And he's on the to-do list! That vid will come around before too long.
Can you do comic book origin of DC Blackhawk and Bluebird along with Signal(Duke Thomas)?
I am having a great day, thank you 😊
" Hub City" is what we call Compton, shout out to the homies out the Hub and da Dub.
Yep. I used to live in Long Beach
He is so underrated
Sage, you're the best, I hope you have a great day
Thanks a lot, bro! You too! 😎👊🏽
@@NewSage I've been watching your vids for about a year. Very concise and informative. Not to mention your intro greeting is awesome.
@@nikkshankle5390 Thanks for the support, bro! 😎👊🏽 And I'm glad that those simple words uplift even one person's day! We all need a small "pick me up" sometimes. 😁👍🏽
Nice bruh
Why have they never made a Constantine/Question crossover. Seems like a story I'd pay for.
Yeah the question is on my top 10 heroes ever since unlimited
Green Arrow : This whole trip might just prove the kid shouldn't eat nachos before bed.
The Question : Peanut butter sandwiches.
Supergirl : How did... What, do you go through my trash?
The Question : Please. I go through everyone's trash.
There is a Batman villain called The Answer/ Mike Patton who The Question has yet to fight.
My favourite dc character
The Question also makes an appearance in the animated WB film, Scooby Do & Batman The Brave and the Bold.
Sup, Sage!
Mysterious, badass and a character who can do more with less from his OP powers. Question is one hell of character all around!
Dude kinda reminds of the protagonist that'll be featured in "The Midknight Sun", a novel waiting to be written like so many others, but first the Return Trilogy must be finished.
Two months, Sage! In just two months the first Return will be done, ready to be put through wringer of heavy editing and what not until ready to be put on shelves!
'Course I have different edition for it, the collectors edition planed to be releases as well.
When placed together, the collectors editions will form the Alpha symbol, and in each novel will be the concept art of characters, items and locations, along with their respected bios that'll can all be found in the Nexus Gallery--a site that features these works of art and bios of them that'll be updated with each new novel that is apart of the Nexus Chronicle's over arching story line shared by all these independent yet connected stories.
Creed! 😎👊🏽 Always good to see your input, and watch your progression. Go get 'em in this new year, bro! 😁👍🏽
What would've been like if Question's mask made him mumble as he talks? As in, "Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh!". And how'd others around him react to that? And how'd Question have liked their reactions?
This character should have been made an appearance in type of dc live action show. Arrow would have a great show for the character live action debut. Let's hope for a live action show in near future
There's still a chance in some Future DC CW Shows...
Question will always be an underrated character
Also The Question was the main inspiration for the Watchmen character Rorschach
smart and experience character
I feel like he was more interesting as a regular, well built and trained human
Can you do comic book origin of lesser known DC villains Shade and Folded Man?
All of your suggestions from this comment and the previous one are duly noted. 😎👍🏽
my name is not barry allen but i’m the first person here. it’s about time we get a dedicated video on one of the most underrated characters in DC.
PS: still waiting for a batman video.
I got you bro. 🤓👍🏽
There should be a Question run where he investigates Q
I heard of the Question for the first time in the Batman and Scooby doo crossover movie and thought he was Rorschach
The victor sage name is very nice ngl
Question has a strong will
Me" when will we see question as a green lantern" 😏
Can you do comic book origin of DC's Red-X and Brother Blood?
They gots to do a movie on this gut,soon
Can you do comic book origin of the Flash Villains Turtle, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
He a interesting character.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey have you done a video about Hellboy?
Not yet. But I'll likely cover him in the future! 🤓👍🏽
Wuttup bro...can you please cover the amalgam characters from the DC/Marvel crossover event?Btw...May2021 Marvel Heroes Reborn drops with Dr.Doom as the Juggernaut.
Just to be clear for everyone in the comments, Alan Moore's inspiration for Rorschach was the Charlton Comics version of the Question as envisioned by Steve Ditko during his "objectivism" phase during the late 60's, early 70's. Since Denny O'Neil's legendary run in 1987, the character has fluctuated in philosophical stance depending on the writer, but maintains a conspiratorial mindset and distrust of authority. That being said, the only similarities that can be drawn between the two characters now are mostly superficial.
The Question is everything that Rorschach could never be. This isn't an opinion... It's a certified fact.
Best yet Allen More wanted to use charlton comics to make the watchmen comic the question became rorschach.
Never thought Question had any magical abilities until now.
They should make this one into a movie
(6) is on point Bro
Thanks for the co-sign, bro. 😎👊🏽 They say that great minds think al... 😏
Love the original non OP Question. They should have kept him.
One of my favorites, he warned us about the !//um!n@t! on the Justice League unlimited
I was really hoping youd say "6, which is a questionable rating"
Ah, I see what you did there
I like the old question
