scans_dailyOkay so, in the DC New 52 FCBD (Free Comic Book day for the uninitiated) Issue, it was revealed who the Trinity of Sin are.
One was Pandora, the other, as assumed, was the Phantom Stranger, and the third, probably comes to a surprise, ends up to be a person who appears to be The Question aka Vic/Charlie Sage.
(Sorry for the Quality, but i took it with my camera phone….)
What I found interesting was the reveal of the Phantom Stranger’s Identity.
As far as I remember, there have only ever been hints as to who he used to be. But in the FCBD issue, it seems like it is pretty much revealed who he was.
Hmmm Forgive me as HE would… interesting…
You’re greed has darkened the World forever… those are Silver Pieces that the Wizard (i am assuming) is playing with.
The Silver Pieces are what form his necklace, thing.
I think if it is not clear, it is pretty heavily implied that the Phantom Stranger is Judas Iscariot, the man who in Judeo-Christian teachings betrayed Jesus for Thirty Pieces of Silver. The fact that they say his greed “Darkened the world” and the items used to bind him are pieces of silver. As well as the “Forgive me as HE would Line” (since Jesus Preached Forgiveness). Judas was actually one of the implied identities for the Phantom Stranger, and i think this has been one of the biggest “hints” we have ever been given as to his identity. Interesting :D
Now the other Reveal, the Third member of the Trinity of Sin is revealed as I said above, to be the Question.
The Anti-Establishment, the No Face, and the Question Mark Puff of Smoke seem to indicate that this is the newest incarnation of the Question. Im interested to see how this plays out… It’s a different take, and it can be interesting….
The Third member of the Trinity is Pandora, and she is revealed to be…
Yeah as most people suspected, she is THE Pandora. As in Pandora’s Box.
What i find interesting is that the mythical Pandora is a Pre-Judeo-Christian Character, Judas Iscariot is a Judeo-Christian Figure. So, since these two sinners have been pulled from percievably different ages, its possible that the Question pulled her was pulled from a more modern era. Meaning that the Likely hood that he is still Victor Sage seems all the more likely. The Rock of Eternity stands outside of time and space so it is conceivable that these Gods, Ancients, or Wizards have been able to pull the three “greatest” sinners from all of time to the Rock from their respective time Periods. So there You have it. Pandora, Judas Iscariot, and Victor Sage, are the Trinity of Sin. Im actually very interested to see where they will go with this… Color me intrigued DC.

Date: 2012-05-06 09:58 am (UTC)Supporting shadowpsykie's thesis that Question is a modern sinner, I've seen a higher-res scan, and he APPEARS to be wearing blue jeans. Which would put him fairly late in world history (1870s or later).
Which might not rule out Cain, but makes you wonder why they waited that long.
But I can't think of a historical or mythical personage who:
1. Rose to power
2. Had a name people feared.
3. Looked like a clean-shaven redhead.
4. In that time period.
5. Would be likely to be caught wearing jeans.
1-4 could be Per Degaton, but I just can't see him in Levi's. :D
Back to the square 1.

Aside from mentioning that this story takes place when man first discovered magic and it's use, Pandora also mentions spending centuries in tears, them more in shame, then even more isolation, so these are not recent events.
