Mister Terrific Facts That Totally Live Up To The DC Superhero’s Name
Although Michael Holt was never ecstatic about his time with the Terrifics, it did pay off. Terrific’s biggest demon was the loss of his wife Paula, and after years of suffering, he was finally reunited with the woman that he loves. The only problem? The Paula he encountered was from a parallel reality.
Paula Holt of Earth-23 lost her husband in a similar fashion to the Mister Terrific of Earth-Prime; in her world, it caused her to take up the superhero badge of Miss Terrific. When the Terrifics encountered Paula in her home dimension, she decided to join the group, even going so far as to attempt a relationship with Michael.
Miss Terrific shares many of the same features as her alternate-world husband: The genius intellect, athleticism and self-invented T-Cubes. But after Paula visited the beginning of time in “The Terrifics” #24, she became more powerful than any variation of Mister Terrific. Meeting every version of herself, she was granted wings, a Valkyrie-style outfit, a sword that could cut through time, and an awareness that allowed her to break the fourth wall. But now too powerful to settle for small-minded missions, Miss Terrific left Earth-0, as well as Michael Holt.
