Re: Fandom Breakups...
"When magic was first harnessed by humans on Earth, the first magic users saw it as their duty to protect the Earth and humanity from those who would seek to harm it. These seven wizards of the Rock of Eternity summon before them the three worst sinners in Earth's history for judgment. The Trinity of Sin as they come to be known consist of a woman named Pandora, Judas Iscariot (the man who would become the Phantom Stranger), and the Question whose sin has yet to be revealed. The Question is punished second after the Phantom Stranger and defies the wizards and the power that they claim. He says that if they do not kill him he will rise to power again and the wizards and the world will fear his name. The wizards then erase his name from his memory and the memory of the world and erase his facial features. He is then cursed to wander the Earth constantly questioning everything and seeking answers he will never find."
What the blooming hell? I mean, I like this character description. This character description is cool. But how is this the Question?
Re: Fandom Breakups...
Like, I would like this origin, too, if it were anybody who wasn't the Question or the Stranger. Make it an original trio of characters and this could be a really interesting story that I would probably really be interested in (from the bare bones anyway, execution is a different thing).
But that's not the Question, and that's not the Stranger. The Question questions things, yes, but not because he's cursed; it's because he's human, and he's a driven, principled kind of guy. He's not on a quest for revenge or anything; he's just really dedicated to questioning and investigating everything, and I thought that made him unique and interesting. Even in his different incarnations, this is the common strand, and I thought that was really cool and interesting.
(I'm most steamed about the Stranger. He's not only my favorite comics character, he's probably my favorite fictional character period. So I'm a bit miffed that they've stripped out every unique, uplifting, interesting thing about him and just filled it with boring bog-standard nonsense.)
