Introducing The Terrifics: Superman’s Mister Terrific’s Epic Spinoff Series
In the comic books, Mister Terrific is portrayed as the third most intelligent person in the world, with Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne ahead of him. While it’s subjective, we believe that DCU Mister Terrific surpasses DCU Lex in terms of intelligence. Originally known as Michael Holt, this character is a brilliant billionaire who suffered a tragic loss of his wife. Despairing and considering suicide, he was saved by the supernatural entity, the Spectre, who motivated him to channel his intellect and wealth into becoming a superhero. It’s unclear whether the DCU version of Mister Terrific shares this exact backstory, but we assume that the fundamental aspects of his origin remain consistent.
