Suggested by optimistic_writer
Set in present day, a scientist by the name of Arby Twain steals a large quantity of pseudoderm, a chemical bandage that him and his colleague Aristotle Rodor had been working on. This material was found to be toxic under certain circumstances, however Twain was under financial strain, and found ways to mass produce and sell the pseudoderm to third world countries and the black market. Rodor enlists the help of a former student, investigative journalist Vic Sage, who also knew the amount of deaths and harm it had and would cause. Vic Sage volunteers to continue the investigation, and hides his identity via a proper pseudoderm mask and gas given by Rodor. From this day forward, he would be two men: Vic Sage and the Question. With the help of his journalist colleague, Myra Connelly, The Question will seek to take down the underground drug ring, Twain, and tyranny of Hub City. What can one man do?
