5. Mr. Terrific
It’s always cool when the successor proves to be a more interesting and enduring character than his predecessor.
The original Mr. Terrific, Terry Sloane (and, no, I didn’t have to look that up, because I have wasted large portions of my existence on this planet) was an all-around master of everything. An athlete and an intellect. But he died without doing really anything else of note. So when his identity was applied to gold medal Olympian and dude with 14 freaking doctorates Michael Holt, it made perfect sense.
Holt, known as the third-smartest man in the DC Universe after Lex Luthor and Batman, created his wonderful T-Spheres and made himself invisible to all technology. The guy is seriously talented. He was elected chairman of the JSA for his level-headedness and ability to take charge of any situation – a role he easily grew into.
Plus, he’s one of the few openly atheist superheroes, so that’s kind of interesting.
