Arrow: 10 Non-Powered Superheroes Who Should Appear

4. Mr. Terrific

Batman isn€™t the only superhero in the DC universe with an extremely high intelligence. Once described as the €œthird-smartest man in the world,€ Michael Holt can give Batman a run for his money any day. At a young age, Michael was able to master theoretical physics and other advanced sciences while other kids were trudging through elementary school. He described his talent as having €œa natural aptitude for having natural aptitudes.€ After obtaining multiple doctorates and becoming an Olympian decathlete, he started his own company and became a self-made millionaire. His happiest moment, however, came when he married his wife Paula, although this happiness would be short-lived after she and their unborn child were killed in a car crash. Contemplating suicide, Michael was stopped by The Spectre, who told him about a man named Terry Sloane who had talents similar to Holt€™s and used them to help others. Following in Sloane€™s footsteps, Michael became the second Mr. Terrific and an important member of the Justice Society. In the New 52, however, Michael was inspired to become a superhero by his son from an alternate universe, and Sloane is now an antihero from Earth 2 who attacked Michael when he arrived on the alternate Earth. We€™ve seen earthquake machines and super-serums, so it€™s not a stretch to imagine an individual in the Arrowverse creating out-of-the-ordinary technology to fight crime. At the very least, they should feature Terrific€™s most well-known tools: the T-spheres. In the comics, these weapons can do everything from projecting holograms to generating electric charges, For the show, however, I€™d recommend each sphere only have one function rather than many, i.e. use one to knock out a building€™s power and another as a projectile. As for Michael, keep his non-supernatural details of his history intact, from the loss of his wife to being a millionaire. For some lightheartedness, I can imagine a fun feud between him and Arrow where he tries to outdo Oliver€™s fighting skills with his inventions.
