Challenges
Blames “Society” and Others for his Situation {Vic wouldn’t be in this conspiracy-debunking, crime-fighting mess if society at large wouldn’t be so self-indulgent and prone to vice.}
Character Needs Mask to Use Power {Although he’s hardly defenseless without it, his Pseudoderm mask makes espionage and the like that much easier.}
Disliked and Shunned by Peers {Some in the hero community don’t appreciate his paranoia. Nor his brutality against and/or willingness to kill criminals on certain occasions.}
Compulsion to Stick Up for the Underdog {Partly the reason why he took up heroics.}
Major Psychological Restriction: Black-and-White Morality {While not as bad as before, Question still doesn’t quite believe in that “shade of grey” that everyone talks about.}
Psychological: Paranoia {In an universe filled with next-century machinery, logic-defying mutations, and reality-bending magic...you’d be quite kooky, too.}
Power Dangerous to Self {The Pseudoderm bonding process, which involves an aftershave-like adhesive along with a special chemical gas, is toxic to most living beings. The danger is increased tenfold on those with open wounds.}
Psychological: Hatred of Drugs {His few brushes with hallucinogenics have made him revile illicit substances.}

Biography
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 investigates corruption in the face of all danger, leaving a blank "calling card," which, when touched, emits a smoky question mark.[/quote]
