Obese and washed-up, Blake was tortured for information by Green Arrow and left to wallow in his own misery. Blake hit a low point during the "Archer's Quest" storyline. Catman Thomas Blake could be one of those "billionaire vigilantes" Ollie referred to in "Damaged." In the comics, Blake donned the costume of Catman and became a burglar due to equal parts boredom and the fact that he managed to squander most of his fortune during his world travels. Either the Ditko or the O'Neil interpretation of Sage has potential in forcing Ollie to confront his own methods of crime-fighting and his frequent use of excessive and even lethal force on the job. We'd like to see that dynamic return in Arrow. The Question has had frequent encounters with Green Arrow in the comics, and their Odd Couple dynamic in Justice League Unlimited was consistently entertaining. Other writers like Denny O'Neil have since cast Sage as a more peaceful, Zen-influenced hero.

Creator Steve Ditko wrote him as an angry vigilante fueled by the right-and-wrong, black-and-white philosophy of Objectivism. Sage has shown an interesting character progression over the years. By night, he dons his signature faceless mask and beats the criminals of Hub City to a bloody pulp.

By day, Vic Sage is a crusading TV reporter. The one hero who stalks these mean streets calls himself the Question.

The Question In the DC Universe, the only city with an even worse reputation than Gotham or Star City is Hub City. But the following characters all have something to add to Oliver Queen's world. Just as villains like Killer Croc and Clayface would have been a hard sell in Christopher Nolan's Batman films, heroes like Superman and The Flash don't really mesh with the more realistic setting of Arrow. We didn't necessarily pick the most famous characters. We've picked several heroes and villains we feel would be well-suited for guest roles on Arrow. But even with all of these appearances, the show has barely scratched the surface of what's available in DC's lineup.
