17. The Question

Lastly, we have The Question, a character so cool that Alan Moore wanted to use him in the Watchmen series. However, when DC didn't approve of the character's fate, Moore developed Rorschach, who was based on The Question.

Among all of the heroes on this list, he’s the worst when it comes to fighting, although he was trained by Richard Dragon. Furthermore, while he is a skilled investigative reporter, he’s definitely not one of the most brilliant minds in the DC Comic Book Universe.

So why is he on this list? Like Big Daddy (who isn't the most brilliant guy, either), he knows what he wants. And his own paranoid convictions help him achieve his goals most of the time.

So what does that mean? Well, it means that the Question might be among us and we wouldn't even know! And this makes him one of our favorite non-superpowered comic book heroes!
