As the successor to the original Mister Terrific, Michael Holt took the name and legacy of Mister Terrific to new heights.
Much like Sloane had been decades before, Holt was one-of-a-kind, an Olympic level athlete with a genius intellect, who was adept in a multitude of skills. But when he lost his wife Paula in a tragic accident, he saw no point in living anymore. Thanks to the interference of the Spectre, who told him about the life and legacy of Terry Sloane, Holt found a new lease on life, and took on the mantle of Mister Terrific. Sporting the phrase "Fair Play" on his costume just as his predecessor did, the second Mister Terrific became a member of the Justice Society, and later, the Justice League and the super group known as the Terrifics. He is considered the third smartest man in the world, right behind Lex Luthor and Batman.
