Title: Mr. Terrific: He's Good at Everything! Post by: TELLE on April 30, 2007, 05:34:33 PM I think they killed this character again recently, but now you can read his origin story online. Reading this, he seems better even than Batman.
To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, "Mr. Terrific: great superhero, or the greatest superhero?" http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/3416983.html Title: Re: Mr. Terrific: He's Good at Everything! Post by: Super Monkey on April 30, 2007, 07:34:27 PM Terrific!

Why didn't he go into politics? a politician who got into the game for ennui? well i guess poltiicans are supposed to have passion (but then again so are heroes..) btw, you notice how easy it is to find comics online these days in journals and such like? its pretty gosh darn fun Title: Re: Mr. Terrific: He's Good at Everything!

(Thinking of scanning the latest Supergirl story I read.) Title: Re: Mr. Terrific: He's Good at Everything! Post by: nightwing on May 02, 2007, 08:06:30 AM Well, he's good at almost everything. He can't design a decent costume to save his life.

Post by: DoctorZero on June 10, 2007, 08:03:58 AM Most of his appearances in JLA as part of the JSA teamups didn't emphasize the fact that Terry Sloane was good at everything. He was simply shown as an athlete in a costume. They did give him the nickname "Man of a Thousand Talents" but never played that up much or even explained it.
