The Question is a world-class detective and investigator who mastered her skills while serving the Gotham City Police Department. In addition to her police training, she is proficient in a variety of martial arts; having being chosen and trained by the original Question (Vic Sage) to succeed him following his death from lung cancer.

Background[]

The daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Renee Montoya graduated with top honors from the Gotham City Police Academy. As a beat cop, she single-handedly apprehended the serial killer Victor Zsasz. Officer Montoya further proved her capabilities under the command of Commissioner Gordon and his late wife, Lt. Sarah Essen-Gordon, the latter awarding Montoya her detective's shield. Detective Montoya's loyalty to Gordon was evident during Gotham City's lawless No Man's Land period when she remained in the quake-ravaged city to help restore order.
Montoya rejoined the Gotham City Police Department but left after the murder of her partner, Crispus Allen. She sank into depression and alcoholism, only emerging after Vic Sage, the Question, drew her into an Intergang plot to take over Gotham City. While fighting by Sage's side she reconnected with the crusader she had once been, and rekindled a romance with Kate Kane. The loss of Vic Sage to cancer convinced Montoya to continue her fight against crime as the new Question.
