Victor Szasz was an angry orphan who could not understand why people did the things they did. As Vic Sage, television reporter for K.B.E.L., he took on political corruption in Hub City. Those hypocrites he couldn't expose on television he went after as the Question, his features masked by a compound called Pseudoderm devised by his friend Tot (Dr. Aristotle Rodor). Sage was also aided by Mayor Myra Connelly, (widow of the former Mayor) and Izzy O'Toole, perhaps the only honest cop on the force.
After many adventures, Sage became disillusioned with his crusading role and, entrusted with Myra's daughter Jackie, journey to the Amazon rain forest to find himself.
He returned to Hub City a changed man after Lady Shiva saved his life and Richard Dragon (see Dragon, Richard) instructed him in martial arts. Later, when the Huntress was accused of murder, the Question befriended her and introduced her to Dragon, who helped the heroine learn how to channel her anger.

The Question of the DC Animated Universe is a completely obsessive, darkly comic loner — skeptical, eccentric, paranoid, antagonistic and unpredictable, often given to believing in various odd conspiracy theories. Claiming to have Apophenia he is one of the Justice League's best detectives. He's been shown humming pop songs while breaking into a building, claims the motives and purpose of aglets (the plastic caps at the end of shoelaces) are "sinister", and believes in ominous links between boy bands and global warming, the Girl Scouts and the crop circle phenomenon, and fluoridated toothpaste and spy satellites. He also believes there was a literal 'magic bullet', forged by Illuminati mystics to hide 'the truth'. In recent investigations, he also discovered that Baskin-Robbins in fact has thirty-two flavors of ice cream, and is concealing the thirty-second for dubious reasons. He expressed a belief that these and many other events are tied to a single, vast conspiracy by a hidden cabal dating back to ancient Egypt, which has supposedly ruled the world from the shadows for millennia, aided by the common man's ignorance of it. Among the new recruits, he fills the role of a detective in place of Batman.

Maybe the reason I keep coming back is because your just as big a nut as I am. Well.. I mean that in the nicest of ways
Gotham nights are rather boring and I'm normally ending up in trouble with the Bat for beating crime "too severely"
Being kicked outta the League twice will garantee that.
