15 Superhero Voice Actors Who Totally Nailed Their Characters
5. Jeffrey Combs: The Question
Warner Bros. Animation
By now you've probably guessed that Justice League was a Romano-led project, what with all the quality talent behind it and all.
One such actor that Romano introduced to the show was Jeffrey Combs, someone who, apart from having one of the coolest voices in the biz, had already illustrated his voice acting talents in BTAS as The Scarecrow. Come Justice League, however, the actor was drafted into playing The Question, a lesser-known creation of Steve Ditko who found relative fame in the eighties under the pairing of Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan.
JLU's interpretation of the character may depart from the source material somewhat, but it's by no means an unfaithful portrayal. Combs in particular embodies both the snark and spirituality of Vic Sage remarkably well, and, despite only featuring in five of the many, many episodes in the series, The Question remains one of its most highly rated aspects - orange socks and all.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
