Who Is Mister Terrific & How Powerful Is He Compared To Superman

Mister Terrific makes his big-screen debut in James Gunn"s Superman, where the ultra-intelligent DCU hero shows off his abilities as he teams up with David Corenswet"s Superman. The DCU"s Gods and Monsters chapter introduces a wide variety of DC characters in both live-action and animation. James Gunn"s Superman, the DCU"s first movie, kicks off long after Earth"s first metahumans and vigilantes unveiled their existence to the world. Among these are villains such as the mythical sorceress Circe and heroes such as Mister Terrific and his superhero squad.
In James Gunn"s Superman, Mister Terrific leads a team of heroes that serves as a metahuman police force that intervenes in dangerous battles. This team is composed of Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion"s human Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced"s reincarnated Egyptian princess Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan"s shapeshifting hero Rex Mason a.k.a. Metamorpho. While these four heroes usually fight individually in the source material, they work together as a branded superhero team in the DCU — seemingly drawing inspiration from Maxwell Lord"s Justice League International and Mister Terrific"s own comic book team, the Terrifics.
