Mister Terrific Vs. The Leader

 

This would be an interesting battle - more about matching wits than throwing fists - although I wouldn't mind it if Michael Holt got a nice right cross in at the end of the story.

I can't help it, I tell you. Michael Holt is a terrific character, no arguments there... but, every time someone says "Mr. Terrific," the first image that flashes across my mind is of a guy in Peter Pan slippers, with "FAIR PLAY" across his tummy in large, block letters. ;)

and in 1967, the gas station worker.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Terrific_(TV_series)
but...Peter Lourie as the Leader!! That's the ticket!!

I know how you feel, Anon. The first time I was introduced to the Golden Age Mr. Terrific (nee Terry Sloan), in the same centennial adventure that reintroduced the Seven Soldiers of Victory, I almost immediately confused with that Capt. Kangaroo character, Tom Terrific!

If his one-time NBC rival (played by ex KITT voice William Daniel) was turned into a rodent by Pinky and the Brain, would he be called "Capt. Mice"?

Back to seriousness, though: having recently read the JLA/STH TPB, "Chaos Crisis" I think Tails the Flying Fox could both of these guys a run for their mental money. And he might even get an autograph from Tron in the process!
