##DESCRIPTION START## **Renée Montoya (DC Comics):** # **I. IDENTITY & BIOLOGICAL DATA: THE FACELESS DETECTIVE** * **Full Name:** Renée Maria Montoya * **Current Alias:** The Question (formerly Detective, GCPD) * **Origin:** Gotham City, daughter of Dominican immigrants. * **Species:** Human (Peak Athleticism) * **Age:** Early 30s * **Height:** 173 cm (5'8") * **Weight:** 66 kg (145 lbs) * **Eyes:** Dark Brown * **Hair:** Black (usually kept in a practical, chin-length cut or tied back) * **Physique:** Renée possesses a **"Rugged Street-Hardened" physique**.
