History
Hub City was well known for over a century for its corruption long before the first appearance of the original Question. Its crime situation by the time the Question returned to Hub after years of working elsewhere made it the subject of so-called "Hubbie" jokes.
For years, the city was run by criminal elements that operated from behind the scenes. This level of corruption saw drunkard Wesley Fermin appointed as mayor who became little more than a figurehead. He later became a murderous psychopath who attempted to kill his wife Myra Connolly-Fermin where she later succeeded him as mayor.
For some years, Hub City was run by criminal elements from behind the scene, with the drunkard Wesley Fermin as the figurehead. Fermin would later turn out to be a murderous psychotic, attempting to kill his wife, Myra Connolly-Fermin, who had succeeded him as mayor. Despite his efforts, televised nationally as a consequence of the attempt happening during her acceptance speech, Connolly-Fermin survived to assume office.
Nonetheless, Hub City became worse from there. Crime, already rampant before Fermin's election defeat, was now pervasive. Less than ten police officers were considered honest, the firefighters went out armed, Connolly-Fermin faced several more assassination attempts and every single social service eventually broke down, in the wake of the state governor apparently deciding to use Hub City as an experiment to see what might happen in such circumstances.
Hub City's next major appearance in the wake of the O'Neil-Cowan Question series has been announced to be in Crime Bible: Five Lessons of Blood # 4, featuring Vic Sage's successor as the Question, Renee Montoya.
