The Question #3 [of 6] (March)
Rick Veitch, Tommy Lee Edwards, Tommy Lee Edwards
Vic Sage makes his way around Metropolis, stopping various criminal activities that are all linked to the Subterraneans. He discovers how they're using hi-tech networks installed in bathroom toilets to conduct their monetary transactions, counting on the fact that Superman wouldn't use his x-ray vision to look in on such locations. Lois gets a look at the chi pathways thanks to a hi-tech headset Luthor's scientists built. The Subterranean leader talks to Lex Luthor on the phone about how Psychopomp will kill Superman for Lex, leaving him in a place of eternal torment so he won't be able to come back.
The Question #4 [of 6] (April)
Rick Veitch, Tommy Lee Edwards, Tommy Lee Edwards
As the Question takes out yet another criminal who has been illegally selling body parts, he's confronted by Superman who warns him about not crossing the line in Metropolis. The Subteraneans decide to deal with the Question and take him out, but they dangerously expose themselves to Superman to do so, and only find the Question is more than capable and takes their strike team out instead. Lois learns that the new LexCorp Science Spire grounds are haunted by old spirits, and the Question ends up there also, having heard their tormented voices.
^ATTENTION ATTENTION SPOILER ALERT! SUPERNATURAL ENERGY IS SPOTTED IN THE ABOVE COMMENT!
Cough cough: Haunted by old spirits, tormented voices! Superman tells Question he stinks of magic! That superman cannot see this kind of energy? This has magic written all over it!
The Question #5 [of 6] (May)
Rick Veitch, Tommy Lee Edwards, Tommy Lee Edwards
Six True Words is murdered as she realizes that Luthor's plans for harnessing the Chi power using the Science Spire as a weapon to destroy Superman. Her spirit guides The Question to the truth of the matter, as the Subteraneans (with Superman out of the way saving people from Chemo in New Delhi) make a move on the Science Spire, aiming to kill The Question.
The Question #6 [of 6] (June)
Rick Veitch, Tommy Lee Edwards, Tommy Lee Edwards
The Question toys with the Subterranean gunmen, killing them one by one. Fusing their souls to the Science Spire, poisoning its Chi. This act of revenge frees the spirit of Six True Words, while her murderer is also encased within the concrete foundations of the Spire by the Question. In the aftermath, Superman searches the scene, while Vic Sage's news report on the Subterraneans is broadcast on TV. Pyschopomp is revealed to be The Question in disguise, as he tells Superman how Luthor planned to his the Science Spire as a weapon against him. Vic Sage leaves Metropolis, not having had the chance to tell Lois he loves her, but content that some questions are best unanswered.
Fusing there souls! Supernatural context yet again! YEP MAGIC!
The plot Pyschopomp was going to place or banish Superman to suffer eternal torment. That was Luther's plan to defeat Superman. Send him to a supernatural realm called Pyschopomp. Where Superman could never escape and would die living his spirit in eternal torment. Basically, Lex Luther tried to create literal hell for Superman. But it failed.
As far as it being proven to be magic. Well, let me prove it. Chi is also a termed that is used in comics with Zantanna and John Constantine (also the demon etrigan).
