Origin
An orphan named Charles Victor Szasz drifted for a while as a young man before setting into a career as a television journalist assuming the name Vic Sage.

Outspoken about the ills of crime and corruption he desired to take a more direct hand in fighting injustice.  His friendship with a professor lead the two men to create a masked identity for Sage.

Utilizing a special chemical designed to alter the color of pre-treated clothing and hair and a mask which totally hid the features of the wearer, Sage began his crime-fighting career as the man without a face called the Question.
