QUESTIONS FROM A FACELESS MAN

Indeed, I'm talking about The Question, my most favorite Justice League United character and one of my favorite DC heroes, besides Flash, Green Lantern, and Hela as my favorite Marvel supervillain.

Here's the origin of The Question (which is sad ): ) taken from http://dccomics.com (click to enlarge);



What makes me adore him is his highly-intuitive mind and intelligence (for he IS a detective) and thanks to The Question, I became obsessed in learning how to be a detective lately -_- 

Below are my favorite scenes and quotes from The Question.

"What makes a hero? Is he a man with super powers, who, when in costume, fearlessly seeks out dangers, daringly confronts all obstacles and performs great feats of bravery but then returns to his everyday life, living in helplessness and fear?...Afraid of what he says and how he acts for fear of revealing his secret identity, thus forcing himself to live unnaturally, stripped of the ability to face up to and act upon the everyday problems of life? His response to them may not be one of fearlessness, daring or bravery but one of a constant brooding about his inability to cope with them successfully! Is it a power or disguise that makes a hero or is a hero a man who faces up to the challenges and obstacles of life and acts on them in a manner that does credit to himself and the proper principles that have been proven to be true!? What makes a hero?" 

"Try a really knotty one... like if the universe is benevolent, why is there evil? Or if the universe is evil, how can men be good? Do men have souls or are we merely bundles of biochemical reactions? Is there a god? And if there isn't, why has the idea of god been a part of every known culture? Is religion merely mythology? Is mythology religion? Is there any essential difference between the two? If we know through our senses and our senses are imperfect, how can we know anything? [...] But if we don't know through our senses, how do we know? And if we know through our senses, how can we know abstractions like truth, justice and even the American way?" 

"There was a magic bullet. It was forged by Illuminati mystics to prevent us from learning the truth!

"Everything that exists has a specific nature. Each entity exists as something in particular and has characteristics that are part of what it is. A is A, and no matter what reality he calls home, Luthor is Luthor."

""The plastic tips on shoelaces are called 'aglets.' Their true purpose is sinister.""
