I liked the Mr. A comics. Is The Question any good, or as funny and preachy.

>>149547833 (OP)
I love this guy I think he would be one of the most interesting superheroes to hang out with. They can't let him fade into memory

>>149548670
It depends on the version. Comic Question eventually becomes more mellow/balanced with his morals. One of his most iconic storylines was him learning how to be a more efficient crime fighter and not just wing it with his mask, his cool car, learned some martial arts.

In the cartoon, he keeps some of his moral stances, but he is more defined by the lengths he's willing to go to preven the good people from the justice league from dirtying their hands. He's the guy that can take being a villain and he's willing to act like one at times, even if he's a good person at heart.

>>149548670
The O'neil run is better as a comic(anything is). But it isn't preachy.
The actual Question character never really got to be like to Mr A nor Rorschach. Writers just projected those two into Question.

>>149547833 (OP)
he doesnt have a face, so i drew him one

Should have put Nigel Thornberry on there

You don't ask 42, that's the answer.

Not him but I have this

Mr. A is such a tedious read, but I like the art.

Learned martial arts so Lady Shiva wouldn't immediately kill him and because he didn't give up she let him live.

Was JLU's Question wearing a mask or did he really have no face?

Mask. He has Huntress take it off when he's laid up injured.

I can't believe they haven't done more with the Question. He is such a fan favorite character.

>>149547833 (OP)
He was cool and mostly correct

You could say this about a lot of DC characters

Huntress is a freak for sure

>>149558381
Coming soon
The Question by James Gunn's DCU
Starring Michael Rooker as Vic Szage, and Jenny Ortega as Renee Montoya
Script by the person responsible for most of Gunn's terrible jokes

>>149552598
It's a mask, and they even use the original idea of it being smoked/gased on. You see it in the scene he pretends to be a taxi driver.

>>149547833 (OP)
Are there other characters who have taken inspiration from their own parodies/knockoffs the way the Question has taken inspiration from Rorschach?

>>149560834
Superman is old enough that there have been actual superman runs riffing on the "DUDE WHAT IF SUPERMAN WAS X/Y/Z" deconstructions of the character, including shit like Injustice which is basically a parody played straight.

>>149560834
>taking inspiration from Rorschach
This was rejected within the late 80s comics. I don't think you actually read The Question comics, because post-Watchman Question doesn't act like Rorschach, outside of that one storyarc that directly takes on this idea, and is rejected completely.

>>149547833 (OP)
>Ah ha, just as I thought. Thirty TWO flavors!

>>149548095
You really think DC would bw that based. They're more interested in having Montoya take his mantel and go carpet munching.

>>149561384
wasn't there a joke in The question comics where Vic reads Watchmen, thinks Rorschach is cool and try to emulate him, only to get his ass beat and declare that Rorschach sucks.

>>149561384
The animated version seems to me like they were writing him as family-friendly Rorschach. Maybe not.

>>149561657
That's literally what I was talking about. The comic is a clear rejection of the Rorschach concept, when Green Arrow saves him. They were showing that The Question is better, because he actually has friends.
>>149561731
It's just a Question-lite from the 80s comics. Ditching all the Zen-stuff, for the light-heated "wacky conspiracy guy who's actually a good detective too". You see Question opening ice cream tubs, to confirm his crazy ideas.

>>149561863
Why do you want to keep the 32nd flavour secret, Baskin?

>>149563375
Do you think Question just adds random stuff to his conspiracy boards to fuck with people whenever he gets to show it off?

>>149563375
Maybe I'm remembering the run wrong but this seems out of character for him based on the O'Neil run

>>149563528
in JLU he ends up being right about a lot of conspiracy shit and ends up investigating Cadmus who in JLU canon are the ones who made superboy

>>149563505
>>149563528
>they don't see the edit

>>149548670
Ditko's question comes close. There's a storyline where hes basically being pressured to cave in to a corrupt/mobbed up politician, and he refuses to let the staff in his news room help him unless they each articulate precisely why they're morally invested beyond a personal affection for Vic.

>>149561863
JLU Question absolutely takes inspiration from Rorschach. He talks in a creepy voice, goes through other people's trash/violates their personal space, and his confrontation with Luthor mirrors Rorschach's confrontation with Ozymandias almost perfectly, including figuring out a conspiracy too late to actually stop it and going into a fight with a man he thinks is a soft rich boy who then *instantly* wipes the floor with him.
I don't know where you're getting the connection to the 80s comics, 80s Vic was actually a cool dude struggling to discover himself, not a driven weirdo almost no one can stand.

Fluoride applied topically to teeth converts some of the surface layer from calcium hydroxyapatite to calcium fluoride, which is more resistant to dissolution by acids. Fluoride that you drink does not affect teeth at all.

But did you get the Answer?

>>149563375
Okay, wait, is this low-key about the Jewish Question? Wait, FUCK, is that "the Question" to begin with??? Is Question as a character one enormous anti-Jew meme?

>>149565450
The original didn't have the Jew edited into it. He was just a conspiracy theorist and it was supposed to sound like crazy-talk back 20 years ago and all of those things actually having a single underlying explanation probably didn't even cross the writer's minds.

Other things "crazy" things he's said include
>JFK was shot by a magic bullet forged by illuminati mystics
>The true purpose of aglets on shoe laces is "sinister"
>Fluoride renders teeth detectable via satellite
>Baskin-Robbins secretly has 32 flavors

But he also has a very deadpan style of humor that makes it hard to tell if he's being serious or not.

>>149565486
>>149565450
And I forgot to mention, the Ditko Question rarely ever dealt with anything conspiracy-related on any kind of major scale, so the JQ applies even less.

>>149563505
Knowing that version of The Question he probably adds a fictitious entry to his just in case someone copies it so he knows when and where his information was stolen. He'd probably put in a false conclusion as well to throw off anyo e who looked.

I wonder if that version of The Question has his mind shielded from psychics. Cadmus never enployed one, probably for security reasons, so they just had to torture him instead although Hugo Strange/Dr. Moon would probably do that anyway.

I wish Helena bertinelli huntress x question was an actual pairing in the comics, they were probably the best couple in the dc animated universe along with green arrow and black canary.
Man, the dc animated universe did many things so right a lot of characters, designs and arcs were imported into the comics.

He was willing to kill Luthor in order to keep Superman good, pure, moral and inspirational.

>>149563528
O'Neil's version is a different character from the original, but so is the DCAU version.

>>149561731

That's correct.
