Michael Holt: The Genius
I’m going to jump off my five with one of the sexiest guys in the DCU. I fell for him during Rucka’s run of Checkmate. He’s a steely, serious, take charge kind of guy with epic integrity who adores his woman. Sasha, you were one lucky lady. I also love that he’s an atheist. I mean, it’s kind of ridiculous to be one in the DCU, but he holds fast that there IS a scientific explanation for all of it.
Oh, and by the by; there is nothing hotter than intelligence. Mr. Terrific is the third smartest man on the planet. Panties dropped.

“I’ll be your White Queen, baby.” See, this is why I love reading your posts.

I also like that Mr. Terrific is also a good foil and can stand toe to toe or up to Batman!
That is also pretty nifty about him too. : )

I hadn’t thought of that, but yes! Someone should write that … a moral conflict between the two of them where they get all chest-puffy, and high-horsey. But in a stoic, serious way.

By the way if he is the third smartest who are the other two ahead of him?

I’m not sure, but the two are probably among Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Ray Palmer or T.O. Morrow. I’m just guessing, though. Maybe the two aren’t “characters” at all, just people.

I had to Google him, never heard of him before (….sorry Miss Vanessa). Kind of sounded like a throwback ’80’s WWF wrestler to me. And with the pleather jacket and face-paint, kind of looked like one too.

No, it’s not. I just read what I wrote. I meant to be kind of smartass (I really hadn’t heard of him) and came across with an assholish bent to it. I apologize.

Actually most super heroes look like Luchadores, so Mr. Terrific is not alone in that respect! : )
