If a character gets hit and looses perplex, does the person the character had previously perplexed loose their perplex bonus?

I can't think of any situation where a Perplexed person could be hit, since Perplex lasts until the end of your turn, not until the beginning of your next turn the way Outwit does.

Actually, I suppose that's not entirely true, due to pulse wave and EE stuff that can cause you damage on your turn.

There's nothing in Perplex that states that the effect is lost if the power is lost.

or pushing.

Perplex isn't lost as there is no stipulation for it to be lost.

HeroComplex:

Actually, sorry to be a rules lawyer, but the last line of the Perplex power states:

If the Perplexed character is damaged or healed during the turn, the effect ends.
:D
This is possible via the above mentioned ways, Pulsewave, Energy Explosion, Pushing, or Support (possibly others).

Hope this helps,

I should have been more precise. To wit: there is no stipulation for Perplex to fade when the Perplex power is lost. Damage or healing to the Perplexed figure aside, the power does not suffer from the same stipulation that Outwit does regarding the power leaving the figure's dial.
