Hi, new Mr. Terrific fans! Do you want to get to know him after watching the movie? Here’s a short and easy reading list for you!
Important details to note:
His name is Michael Holt
He’s a legacy character. There was a Mr. Terrific before Michael named Terry Sloane who has been dead for decades. He’s the reason why “Fair play” is written on Michael’s jacket sleeves.
His origin includes attempted suicide.
His mask has a purpose! It makes him a walking blind spot to cameras.
The New 52 Mr. Terrific is a completely different character.
