[edit] History
When J'onn J'onzz took a leave of absence from the League, Mr. Terrific replaced him as Monitor; by common consensus, he was smart enough to do so. He coordinated the League during several crises, including Wade Eiling's rampage through Metropolis, and Darkseid's final invasion of Earth.
Likewise, when Lex Luthor accidentally exchanged brains with Flash, Mr. Terrific helped lock down the Watchtower, and finally incapacitated Luthor before he teleported away in Flash's body.
[edit] Powers & Abilities
Mr. Terrific is one of the smartest human beings on the planet, a perfect candidate to coordinate the League's resources during worldwide crises.
He is also equipped with "T-Spheres" floating spherical probes that fly around at his command and can be used as weapons or detection devices.
[edit] Background Information
There have been several Mr. Terrifics in DC Comics; this version is based on the second, Michael Holt.
In the comics continuity, Holt is considered to be one of the three smartest humans on Earth, with an IQ surpassing even that of Batman. After the death of his wife and unborn child, Holt considered killing himself before the Spectre approached him and told him of the original Mr. Terrific, a Golden Age hero of World War II, which inspired Holt to become a superhero. His intelligence allows him to absorb information at a phenomenal rate, and thus he has (or qualifies for) advanced degrees in a variety of disciplines, including mathematics, engineering, medicine, computer programming, and rocket science. He also speaks at least five different languages. His inventions have made him a multi-millionaire, and he maintains an Olympic-level physique through iron discipline, and is a master of at least five unarmed combat styles.
His "T-Spheres" which accept hands-free commands from his electronic face mask, are capable of multiple tasks; surveillance, image projection, security, computer links, and on-board lasers, granting Terrific flight by hovering under his feet, or they can simply fling themselves at targets in order to cause damage.
One unique thing about Mr. Terrific is his prominent atheism, odd not only with his experiences with magic and divine beings such as the Olympians, but also because the Specter is God's Angel of Vengeance.
