In the upcoming movie "James Gunn's Superman, " a new hero joins the DC Universe. Mister Terrific, played by Kenyan-American actor Edi Gathegi, is a genius-level inventor and martial artist. Unlike many superheroes, Mister Terrific relies on his brains and fancy gadgets rather than superhuman strength. His coolest invention? The T-Spheres, tiny devices he controls with his mind to do just about anything. Think of them like super smart drones that can fight, spy, or even turn into shields.

Mister Terrific's smarts make him one of DC's top minds, maybe even smarter than Batman or Lex Luthor. He's so smart that he can learn almost any skill he wants, like speaking rare languages or mastering tough martial arts. But how does he stack up against Superman? Well, while Superman can fly and lift heavy things, Mister Terrific's brainpower makes him a formidable ally. He's like the Batman of the Justice League, using clever plans and high-tech gear to outsmart foes.

In the movie, Mister Terrific leads a team of heroes, including Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho. This team is like a metahuman police force, stepping in when things get dangerous. While they usually fight alone in comics, here they work together, inspired by teams like the Justice League International.
