Question: (babbling) Secret messages... Encoded in amino acid chains in carb-free breakfast bars. (edit) Captain Atom: Is it me or are the world conquerors getting mouthier?
Superman: He’s from Apokolips – they’re all pretty chatty. (edit) Huntress: I’m not even in the Justice League any more. You’re lucky to have me along.
The Question: Hardly. You’re drawn to my eccentric charm. (edit) The Question: Dinner and a movie?
Huntress: It’s a start. (edit) The Question: I want you to understand something, Luthor. Although my distaste for you as a human being is brobdingnagian, what I'm about to do isn't personal.
Luthor: What're you babbling about?
The Question: 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. (edit)

When the Huntress comes to the Question's apartment to check up on him, a lock suddenly appears on the door as she's opening it. (edit) As was seen in "Fearful Symmetry," the Question wears a mask. Why did his captors let him keep wearing it? At the very least they could have cut open a mouth hole, even if it was chemically bonded to his skin. There's no indication they made any attempt to remove it, even though his arms are cut and bleeding. (edit) How did Cadmus and/or Lex Luthor get hold of the tape of the alternate Lex Luthor and Superman? The Justice League itself might have been able to get it, but why would they have given it to the government, even to get Lex's pardon (in "A Better World (2)")? (edit)

The Question: 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 Question's line of reasoning is an exact recitation of the Law of Identity - a philosophical concept widely attributed to Aristotle, and one of the founding principles of objectivism. This is also a reference to the objectivist viewpoint of the original Steve Ditko Question. "A is A," in particular, can be attributed to objectivism stalwart Ayn Rand. (edit) The Question: I want you to understand something, Luthor. Although my distaste for you as a human being is Brobdingnagian, what I'm about to do isn't personal.
Jonathan Swift originated the word in his book, Gulliver's Travels, in which Lemuel Gulliver meets the huge inhabitants of Brobdingnag, has bequeathed us this awkward adjective. (edit) The Question There was a magic bullet. It was forged by Illuminati mystics to prevent us from learning the truth!
Illuminati refers the the Illuminated Ones, a secret society, which is the subject of many, many conspiracy theories. (edit) Dr. Hamilton: Lucifer was an angel, too, wasn't he?
Lucifer, generally speaking, in the Christian tradition was cast out of heaven along with a third of the host of angels when he led a revolt against God. Known as the morning star, he was the first and most loved among the angels, but after his betrayal he ruled in hell as the devil. (edit) The Question: There was a magic bullet. It was forged by Illuminati mystics to prevent us from learning the truth!
The "magic bullet" the Question mentions refers to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. While Oswald was convicted as the assassin, the zigzag route the bullet traveled led conspiracists to believe that there were was more then one assassin, with Oswald used as a scapegoat in a government coverup. The bullet has since then been christened as the "Magic Bullet." (edit)
