[quote=@obisemkenobi] I've read a few different comics on him, but it's been too long to really differentiate them... was that the one where he was trained by Lady Shiva after nearly/not-so-nearly dying with all the mysticism and stuff? I wasn't a particular fan of that story arc, but the character was still really nicely done. I'll admit I fell in love with the (rather goofy) JL:U version of his character and he is still quite possibly my favourite superhero ever (especially since he wasn't so goofy near the end), but the character as a whole is really strong. I just never imagined he was that popular. Really looking forward to see how you wield him! [/quote] That's more or less it- Lady Shiva beat Vic up, then dropped him off with Richard Dragon to train Vic up to "worthy opponent" status. I left that bit out of my version of his origin just to streamline things a little. Stylistically, I'm borrowing a lot from that storyline, especially the urban blight and the philosophical bent of the character. I think it makes sense for him to be wrestling with questions of ethics and why things are the way they are- if you're fighting crime in a polluted, corrupt hellhole like Hub City and seeing nothing change, anyone would start thinking about those issues. At least, that's my take. STUPID INTELLECTUAL STUFF WARNING: As a student of philosophy (yes, really, I even have a pretentious hat) I can't help but see The Question as Camus' "absurd hero", a man who sees his work is pointless and doomed but keeps trying anyways. I hate to sound like a hipster *sips PBR* but I was a fan of The Question before JLU came on the air, so that particular version (while great fun) isn't the one that comes to mind for me, if that makes sense.
