BIO:

Not much is known about Q, except that he appears at different places around the world, and may be linked to various disasters. No one knows Q's real name, or if he's human or not. However, it's more likely he's a machine due to the fact that when electrocuted, Q's muscular system is shown along with an indistinct head... but not a skull. The CIA is still searching for him (it?).

"Q" is definitely one of the strangest and most mysterious fighting game characters of all time. His clumsy, robot-like fighting style is very well animated but definitely strange. So what is the inspiration behind this odd character design? I do have a theory (and I was the first person on the internet to point this out).

Check out this screenshot and look in the background of Ken's classic SF2 stage, on the boat. On the far right side of the boat, there is a guy with his arm raised (cheering) who closely resembles Q. Furthermore, in Q's ending (below), he appears on a boat... proving the theory even further! :) Interesting huh? Perhaps SF3's development team thought it'd be clever to somehow remake and use a SF2 background character in SF3.

Once again, TFG was the first website on the internet to point out this connection. I was even given credit on Wikipedia for a while. :]
